RUSSIANS ARE
PREPARING BIG
OFFENSIVE MOVE

PetrOerad March 22-tNia London).
The Russian operations on the north
ern front promise to develop into the
most serious movement undertaken by
either side in this theatre of war since
paign last autumn.
Taking advantage of the German pre-
occupation at Nerdun. the Russian stan
decided to anticipate any plans the Ger
mans might be making for an offensive
in the Dyinsk region by a series OF
mane,vers which, if successful. will
make it not only impossible for them
to institute the advance they appar-
emily intended but will force them out
of the positions they now hold against
the Northern Russian army.
The position of the German forces
in the northern sector takes the form
of an arc with the army before Dvinsk
occupying the point in the arc furthest
extended into Russian territory. This
alignment makes the German position
particularly susceptible to thanking at
tacks by the Russian forces north and
south of Dvinsk. These. as officially
announced, already have begun. In the
region Of Lake Marocz. south of Dvinsk.
the Russian advance along ten mile
front. threatening the wilma railroad
and German communications between
this point and Dvinsk. 1t is unofficial
ly reported that this movement along
the southern flank of the German
Dvinsk position was accompanied by
maneuvers Of the same nature against
the northern German flank in the neigh
borhood Of Friedrichstadt. The effect
Of these two attacks, if successfully
executed. will be to squeeze the Ger
mans from their extended position be-
fore Dvinsk and convert the present
arc into a straight line from Friedrich
stadt to Svientsyany.

Conn. River Boat Reels to Dock
 With 200 in Peril

Springfield, Aug. 2S.-The steamer leaking and rolling, made a desperate five-minute drive for her dock at the foot of Elm street last night to land over 200 passengers safely before she sank. While bound for Springfield up the Connecticut river from Riverside park she struck some submerged ob-
 ject, probably stump, off the island
 at the mouth of the Agawam river at
 $40 with jar and a sW,erve' ana
 rolled hard to port. She had peeh
 listing to starboard before she
 struck
 Women screamed, children cried
 and there was wild confusion. Pas-
 sengers grabbed life preserVers
 and buckled them on. A large
 number of those on board were
 women and children. Many stood
 nervouely near the life boats or gath
 cred along the rail, and there was some fear lest in their excitement ana
 fear some might leap overheard. The boat rolled badly from one side to the other as she headed and put tor her dock, filling all with a terror lest she might turn turtle.
 In landing, the Zita Mae rammed the dock sidewse with a jar She was made fast quickly and the pas sengers were urged to make all speed in getting off. Some Jumped to the dock, even from the upper deck. Ac- cording to Capt. A. J. FOrgette, all passengers were landed in ten minutes
 from the time of the accident.
 With mingled sensations of excite ment and thankfulness at their safety, passengers stood on the shore and watched the little river boat as she | slowly filled Her bow kept going perceptibly lower Capt. Forgette said there was an inch of water in the en- zine room, which is below deck, when | the boat made her dock. The weight | of her engines, well forward, was an | other cause of her settling at the l bow. Her hawsers, strung to the | dock, appeared to hold her. The | crew busted themselves removing l movable fitting, such as seats, life pre- l servers and similar accessories as they
 could lift. At 735 the craft kee'el 1 slowly to port and lay partly sub merged with her port side out of
 the water aslant and partly resting in | it. Her hawsers kept her from going | over. A half hour later she slinpe l | little and came to more of an up | right position which allowed her to
 settle lower in the water. More ropes
 were s1ung and fastened to hold her,
 and early this morning they were still l holding and the boat was not restin g 1 on bottom.

delay taking the road that winds around the Santa Cruz valley, passin g through many gulleys and deep can- yOns. When the time came to pitch camp we had covered seventeen miles. Camp was pitched close to Pada- gomia, a typical western mining town with a population of about 200. The soldiers were treated to the rare sight of seeing a train in motion, the first that has been seen in several days. Patagonia would be an ideal town for Broncho Billy to stage one of his wild western photo plays in. The setting is ideal. A few rough huts, a group of dusky Mexicans al- ways in the background, the hitching post for the reckless cowboys to dash up to and the other necessary western chara cters that need to make up such 9 scene are here.
 The regiment established a record on the march, only three men finding it necessary to drop out of line. The regulars made the trip in six days and since we have only thirty-eight miles more to go, and four days to do it in, it seems that this record will be broken.
 The mail is to be forwarded to us at the fort and everything otherwise is o. K.
