She must have q comfortable place
to lie down. stand up. move and
stretch her limbs and lick herself all
over the body. She must have sunshine
and plenty OF light. She must have
pure air to breathe, and this means
that the stable must be provided with
come system of ventilation to give q
frequent change of air.
This need not be expensive, only a
little fQrethought and q few dollars
worth of material and labor. She
must have good pure water at least

it is assumed have been erected.
The country between the San and
the Laborcza is believed to provide
the best route, but the Russian staff
thinks the Germans have already
transferred all available troops from
other fronts to defend that region.
1t is expected the German answer
to the Russian Offensive will be a
new movement in Poland, starting
from Thorn or Cracow. But inva-
sion OF Hungary is regarded here as
forcgone conclusion, unless the
Germans are able to transfer a for
midable force OF first line troops to
stiffen the Austrian armies.
Under these conditions the posi-
bility OF a separate peace for Aus

the Russian press and in diplomatic
circles, particularly the reported at
