Russians Fighting Along
700 Miles of Battle Front
tBy Cable 10 The Tribune J

Petrograd, Feb. Russians are now
fighting along all their battle fronts in
Europe, extending over 700 miles, the
Germans taking full advantage of the
innumerable strategic railways to rap
idly move large bodies of troops from
place to place. The Russians, unpro-
vided with such rapid means of COM
munication, must be ready at all points,
for the Germans are hammering at
every link OF the line.
Along this 700 miles it is believed
here the main battle is preparing in
the Carpathians, and fighting elsewhere
is, on the part Of the Germans, rather
in the nature OF demonstration than
a real attack. The weak link in the
Russian defence has still to be found.
Over the greater part of the front the
Russians continue 20 accept these at
tacks with equsnimity, devoting them
selves 10 the task of killing as large a
number OF the enemy as possible, this
being a necessary condition OF success
ful future operations against an enemy
so perfectly prepared for war as are
the Germans.
Already the Germans are proving less
formidable than hitherto. Their ar
tillery is showing signs of over use.
The heaviest shells in particular often
fail to explode The best regiments
now contain several score OF half
trained men in each company who are
bnyond tho lighting age and the second
line of troops is still more inferior
The Russians have in use new form
of shield. which proves invaluable when
circums stances admit it being employed
1t is of light, hard steel, strong enough
10 stop Maxim and rife bullets, and COW
ers six men abreast. II runs on wheels,
and is pierced for rife FIRE. II is su-
perior 70 the German shield.
The fighting in the west is merely
repetition of that OF the preceding day.
There have been lively artillery duels

CIubman Fires Fatal Shot
While Private Patient
in Hospital.

Robert Lincoln Lee. hOrseman. big
game hunter and a former member of
Squadron A, National Guard shot him
self through the head yesterday morn
ing in a private room at Roosevelt
Hospital, where he was a patient. lie

He was convalescing from an oper-
alton for intestinal trouble which be-
came serious recently while he was at

Lee was hurried here.
Lee has been living with his wife at
the Devon Hotel, in West 55th ST. Yes
terday morning Mrs. Lee was notified

self. She arrived at the hospital only
TO learn that there was little hope for
her husbands recovery.
On January 20. when the patient ar
rived at the hospital. ne carried suit
case. which ne unpacked himself. The
authorities think that he concealed the
pistol IN the drawer of q dresser.
He had improved steadily and for the
last few days had been able to take
horseback rides in the park. A nurse
who was in Mr.. Lees room just before
he shot himself said the patient seemed
TO be in excellent spirits when she left.
A moment later an orderly heard shot
and rushed TO the room, 20 find Lee
bleeding from a wound in the head
According TO Mrs. Lee. there was no
reason why her husband should seek to
end his life. They had been very happy,
she asserted.
The dying man is the son of William
Lee, formerly Of the firm of Lee
Tweedy e. Co., of Hartford, Conn. His
wife was Miss ST. John, of Salem, Va.
He is said to be the owner of ranch
in the Southwest. He is a member of

YOUNG COE ALIVE,
DETECTIVE SAYS
Boston SIeuth Tells Fam
ily He Will Produce
Missing Man Soon.
rR, Telegraph TO Tn. Tribune J

Boston, Feb. Robert Burns, chief
of the local detective agency, declared
tonight that he had clew which led
him to believe that Henry Clarke Coe,
ir.. the missing Standard Oil salesman,
is not only alive but in this city. Burns
added that he would be able to produce
the missing man within a few days,
certainly alive, and, he hoped, quite
well.
The detective refused to state the
source Of his information or to give
anv details, but it is evident that the
members Of the Coe family have been
greatly cheered by his statement.
In spite Of this, the Boston police are
paying some attention TO report that
man resembling Coe, and telling a
story that in many ways resembled
that of the missing man, appeared Fri
day night in Gambia, n. H., obtained
lodgings for the night, and walked TO
Haverhill, Mass. This man said ne
lived at the Hotel Lenox. in Boston,
and was employed by the Standard on
Company, and once lived in Concord
where Coe went TO school. His talk
was rambling, and his host at Gambia
was so impressed with his likeness TO
Coe that he notified the Manchester
police. The man, however, disappeared
Dr. Henry c. Coe, whose son dis
appeared from his home in Boston
more than a week ago, said last night
at his home, West 18th ST., that no
news Of the missing young man had
been received. Every clew had been
run down, but with no favorable re-
suits.
One point that has been overlooked
in the printed descriptions of Henry C..
Coe, jr., is that he bears on his left
hand a scar running from the base Of
the thumb well down the wrist This
scar. DR.. Coe said, would serve as
positive identification mark in case his
son was discovered.
Circulars bearing a detailed descrip-
tion OF the missing man will be dis
tributed in this city to-day by the
Burns Detective Agency and the Police
Department.
woman who lives in The Bronx
telephoned TO DR.. Coe yesterday that
man who acted strangely had been
found in her home, but the descrip-
tion she gave made it plain that he
could not have been Coe.

$4,000 UTTER PEACE
PRAYER AFTER POPE
Follow POntiff as He In
tones Supplication in
St. Peters.

Rome, Feb. There was an impress
sive scene in st. Peters this afternoon
when Pope Benedict intoned his prayer
for peace. The great edifce was
thronged with worshippers when the
Pontif, surrounded by twenty-five car
dinals, mounted to the papal altar.
Standing between the tour richly gilded
spiral columns of the Bernini canopy,
Pope Benedict intoned the prayer,
which was repeated by the kneeling null
titude, whose voices echoed throughout
the great temple. The prayer was to
the God of all mercies, King Of
Peace"
The Pope on arriving and departing
was applauded. As he was leaving
after the ceremony there were many
cries of Long live the Pope!" and
"Give US pesce!"
Despite the downpour of rain at
o'clock this afternoon all the bells of
the four hundred churches in Rome
realed out, calling the people TO ser
vices to implore the cessation of the
war and the establishment Of peace
among the nations Of the world. More
than sixty thousand persons gathered
in St. Peters.
The immense basilica appeared more
imposing than on usual occasions,
there being no decorations except the
numerous candles.icks with their flick
ering flames on the papal altar under
the colossal dome where the Pope
alone says mass.
Paris, Feb. THE prayer for peace
of Pope Benedict was read in all the
churches of France to-day without spe-
cial incident. The congregations every
where were unusually large. In view
of the misunderstanding which led TO
the recent seizure by the police of the
Department of the Seine OF periodicals
containing the text of the prayer, the
priests officiating at the services to-day
gave brief explanations of the motives
of the Pope in issuing the prayer. Car
dinel Annette. presiding over the cere-
mony in Notre Dame Cathedral. said:
The Pope in asking US to pray for
peace and the ending of the war which
Is plunging the whole Of Europe into
blood means that your prayers should
implore a lasting peace. The peace
which the Pope desires will not be
signed until all the wrongs with wAich
the war that is raging is attended are
righted. That can only be through a
victory Of our arms and those OF our
allies"

HUERTA SAYS MEXICO NEEDS
MILLION JEWS TO DEVELOP IT

NEW YORK, April 22.-Viotoriano
Huera, ex-dictator of Mexico. wants
a million Jews to settle in Mexico to
develop the resources of that country.
"The Jews will be welcome In
Mexico" said General Huerta yester-
day. 81 would be more than gratitied
if a million Jews should settle there,
develop the country, take part in the
government, and do what they have
done in other lands. We have no race
hatred in my country and We make
no distinctions Certainly, the more
Jews that can come to Mexico the
better will my native land become"
General Huerta said he knew but
few Jews, but that those he did know
were "all right" He constantly re-
iterated his belief that the Jews could
make Mexico a great nation, and
would be further instrumental in
calming the warning factions.
Mexico Is still an undeveloped
country" he said. "But it holds tre-
mendous secrets for those who win
but try to discover. Its natural re-
sources are enormous. My country
has not yet awakened to q real sense
of national existence; it knows little
Of its own strength.
"The Jews have done wonders in
other lands. They have taken the lead
in commercial and professional fields
among other nations. If Mexico were
only fortunate enough to have enough
