FIERCE ATTACKS
COMPEL RUSSIANS
TO FALL BACK
Grand Duke Nicholas Forces
Withdraw to Prepared Posi-
tionS on Sudden Appearance
of ReinforCementS.

PETROGRAD. March 13.-Fierce
attacks by Gen. Won Hindenburg' S
troops west Of the Niemen river have
compelled the Russians to retire
slightly along the front and assume
the defensive. it was officially ad-
mitted at the war Office today. Grand
Duke Nicholas forces have withdrawn
only TO their prepared position, ac-
cOrding to the war Office, and the
German claims that they are retreat
ing To GrOdnO are emphaticallY de-
MED.
The Russian withdrawal was due
10 the sudden appearance at Angus
towO of heavy German reinforce
ments. Apprfsed OF their approach
by his aeroplane scouts, the Russian
commander fell back from positions
that would have been insecure in the
face of the numerical superiority.
The battle along the front from
Przasnysz TO the Narew and Bobr
rivers is still raging without any de-
ciSve result.
The minor successes Of the Ger
mans in Poland is more than offset by
the gains of the Russians IN Galicia,
according TO the Petrograd military
authorities The towns of Lupkow
and Smolnik, from which the Russians
recaptured.
Take 1000 Prisoners.
Four thousand Austrian prisoners
were taken in this fighting and dis
patches from Demberg state that the
Russians killed or wounded twice
that number.
The official Army Messenger. while
admitting the strength of the Ger
man attacks in Poland, asserts that
there is no reason for anxiety as TO
the ultimate success OF the Russians
Each collision on the battle front
in north Poland" II says. leaves Rus
sia more confident Of the superiority
OF her soldiers over the new German
army. The rough punishment in
ficted upon Won Hindenburg's corps
of young conscripts since they left
their own frontier has convinced him
of the necessity of distributing the
broken regiments among his season.
ed troops.
The idea OF cutting the Warsaw
Petrograd railway has apparently
been abandoned by the Germans. The
campaign for the courses of the Bobr
and Narew has narrowed down 10
two raids. one from the southern
Mazurian lakes In the direction OF
Losnza. the other from Chorzele along
the OrZyc toward PulCusk.
Both these German attacks are
being conducted in great numbers
collected from columns which aban-
doned other lines Of offense. They
are meeting determined Russian re-
sistance and the progress mas been
definitely checked"

NOT ALTERED BY Suffrage
Writer'S Testimony Is That scandina.
Wan Women Have Proved Their
Eight to II.

An old story much believed was that
Charles XII of Sweden was a woman.
He wasn't; but if Scandinavian women
showed the capacity for public affairs
in his day that they are showing now
it was not surprising that even mill.
tary genius was ascr1bed 10 a woman
All those old viking countries of the
North are today further advanced in
woman's rights than any other coun-
tries. Norway, Denmark and Finland
and Iceland have practically equal po-
litical and industrial rights of men and
women. Swedens promised law for
that equality has been held back only
because the critical conditions the
great war mas produced have suber-
dinated every other question And
Sweden was the first country or state
where the municipal vote was given to
women.
Mabel Potter Daggett writes in the
Pictorial Review that these free wom-
en- OF the North as she calls them, are
as good housewives and as capable and
wOmanly mothers and wives as they
ever were or as can be found any
where. These women. who have elect
ed members of national parliaments
and of town. councils, whose industrial
and economic councils and clubs and
organizations have as effective a voice
as those of men-1hese women have
sunk none of their feminine values in
their values asefeminists
In tradition and history the mothers
and wives and daughters of the ancient
Mortimer shared the hardships and
the daring, and shared the heroic vir-
tues of the men. 1t is not violent
change that in an age of different ac-
tions and perplexities they should as
sumo their different share and retain

MINE Is TOMB OF PRINCESS
Results of Excavations on Mound
Containing Remains of
Nacoochee.

DR. L. G. Hardman went up to his
Nacoochee valley farm recently to SUI
perintend the work preparatory to the
excavation of an Indian mound which
possesses an interesting history.
There, the Atlanta Journal states,
Nacoochee, an Indian princess, was
buried, and tradition holds fas-
cinating romance connected with her
life and death
Archeologists, representing a New
York museum, will excavate the
mound in order to make a scientific
study of the lives of the race which
once inhabited that section of the
country in the years ago.
The utensils used, their war para
phernalia, and even the skeletons of
the peoples buried there. will afford
interesting research work.
All the interesting excavations will
be carried to the New York museum,
and the mound will be rebuilt just as
it stands today.
