Is becoming an absolute conviction.
The army. Notwithstanding all its
losses, Is stronger than ever. Its ex-

the desired goal
War Has Brought Union.
The close union of the Russian peo-
pie brought about by the war has been
rendered stronger by the conquest of
iidIicia, the only jewel hitherto lacking

factory is the fraternal rapprochement
between the Russian and Polish people
The latter have supported without MUIR

who. despite Russia's efforts to con-

ness, had sought to embroi Russia
With neighborinS countries, especially

mans tried TO blunt the consciousness
OF the community OF interests between
the Rounanidns and Russians and
