BERLIN, April 5.-A war CORES
pondent who has been at the eastern
front since August, 1914, pens an in
teresting description of the present
Russian armies for Berlin newspaper.
After twenty months of continuous
contact with the enemy the German
officers have pretty clear idea of
the present condition of the Russian
army, the correspondent says. The
Information comes partly from pris-
oners, but the tales of suffering told
by the captured Russian soldiers are
taken with more than the proverbial
grain of salt, because the men gen

hope to get better treatment by pic.
turing the situation behind their front
as dark as possible.
Many of the prisoners complain that
they were driven into the firing line
by Cossacks, whom they hate bitterly

first, but they have been verified

fire was directed against the Cossack!
and prisoners later said that the,

when they saw the hated drivers

The use of the Cossacks for the pur
pose of driving other troops into battle
nay be of local advantage to thu
Russian commanders here and there
but these barbarous methods worl
more harm than good. Knowing tina
they are continuously under two fires
from the front and from the rear, i
they retreat, the Russian soldiers hav'
become very nervous. They lose thei

they formerly possessed.

army IL as good as ever and seemingly
inexhaustible. All fresh troops brought
to the front consist of physically
splendid soldiers, but as a rule they
are very poorly trained and badly
armed. When these men are sent
forward to attack they are only given
the direction In which they have to
advance. The officers stay behind and
the companies and even whole regi-
ments are led by non-commissioned
officers.
No Hope Offered.
For the soldiers there is no choice,
although they know that their at
tacks against the German fortifca.
tions with their thousands of cannon
and machine guns are hopeless. They
must advance or die, because il they
waver and turn they are threatened
by machine guns and Cossacks behind
their front
Wherever the Russian soldiers sue
coed in reaching German position
they fight like demons, because the
capture of a trench means life OF
death to them. Their first line gen
orally only carries hand grenades, the
second line has rifles, while the third
advances unarmed and picks up the
rifles and other arms of the killed
and wounded.
The men of a captured Russian
company recently complained tina
they we're not able to fire single
shot when they had to attack because
they were given rifles which they hat
never used before The rifles hat
been taken from wounded or captured
Austrians, and the Russian soldier
who were to fight with them did no
understand their mechanism.
The Russian artillery is still ex
4 cellently trained and would have to b.
feared with better technical equip
ment Most of the Russian artiller,
officers are capable, highly educate,
men. but they can accomplish nothinI
with the limited material at their dis
posal. They lack guns and ammun!
tion and what they have is mostly o
inferior quality A recently. captures
commander of an artillery regimen
declared that the guns obtained froI
Japan are of little use and much o
the ammunition bought in America
worthless.
ALI of these disadvantages are O
course, well known to the Russia
commanders and the army administrs
ton at Petrograd, but they still hop
to overcome them by throwing tn
enormous masses of men into the fra
and wearing the Germans and Aus
trians down.
