really democratic in that it reaches into every class,
shall find that its workings shall be hardest the wage
earners and farmers so that it would create feeling
against that kind of preparation which might nure the

PETRoGRAD (via London. } Feb.
12.--The Russian offensive, which
has been indicated in the reports Of

rapidly over the whole Galicisn
front.
The Germans, according TO ad-
vices from the scent of hostilities,
are on the defensive on three i'm
portant rivers-the Sereth, the
Pruth and the Dniester. Czernowitz,
capital of Bukswina, is again seri-
ously threatened by the Russian ad-
vance east of Raranche, as well as
by the Russian crossing of the
Dniester at Uscieczko, where their
troops are firmly entrenched. This
move also had the effect OF inter
rupting one of the most important
lines of communication between the
armies Of Generals Pflanzer and Won
Bothmer.
A third important Russian advance has
been recorded near Zale Szczyky. where
a fierce counter. attack is declared to
have been succe@ful in routing the OPP
yosing forces and demoralizing the Hun
/rarian troops TO such an extent that they
retired to a new line four miles ito the
