indefinitely. would drive back over the
ground that had been yielded in the
face of terrific German artillery and
infantry attacks.
Tide of Battle Turns
According TO a statement by Aris-
tide BRAND. the French premier, this
happened after the fourth day of the
battle. The French brought up strong
reinforcements at an unexpected mo-
ment and the infantry, sweeping down
upon the Germans, who already were
suffering heavily from the effects of
the French artillery fire, stopped them
short and even drove them back. The
premier declares the French have now
reGained the advantage, the beginning
Of their counter attacks marking the
turning point of the battle, which is

German Accounts Differ
The German accounts fail to agree
with this French version of the fight

advances for the crown princes troops,
including the taking of Hardaumont,

totalling 1900 metres. In making this
gain they took more than 1000 pris-
oncrs and nine machine guns. The
Paris version of this operation re-
cords it as a German surprise attack
which resulted in the occupation of
certain advanced trenches and a sup
porting trench.
The great battle of Nerdun. now en-
tering its second week. is continuing
with undated fury, with the German
armies driving hard at the French de-
lenses along lengthening line which
now runs far beyond the salient in
which lies the fortress.
Paris asserts that with the pouring
in OF heavy reintorcements from Gen
eral JOffres armies the German ad-
vance has been checked, but Berlin
claims a continuation of the forward
march on the French stronghold.
Along the Meuse, to the north of
NeTdun, the Germans have been un-
able TO make as rapid progress as in
the initial stages of the battle, and
even on the Woevre front, where the
French at first fell back, they now
appear TO be Offering effective resist
ance. Pressure here. is particularly
menacing to the fortress, as the crush
ing in of this eastern line of the Yer
dun salient for any great distance
would spell disaster for the strong
hold.

RUSSIANS PROTEST
AGAINST TREATMENT

This attack caused many acts of
mob violence against the Russian stu
dents, who finally held public meet
ing and passed resolutions demanding
a retraction OF the ISLANDERS of the Elk
press. The paper printed the resolu'
lions but attacked the Russians again
in the same issue.
FUNK Russian Students.
When the prosecuted Russians still
refused to leave the college the presi-
dent of the institute demanded that
they submit their military papers and
passports. Those who could not do
SO were expelled, but their number
was small. The college authorities
then decided upon another step to
drive the Russian students away
They suddenly ordered rigid special
examinations, with the result that all
of the Russians failed to pass.
Other French colleges and univers
tiles also harrassed the Russians in
every possible way and forced many
of them to give up their studies. The
police authorities mostly acted in the
same hateful manner and expelled
Russian subjects from tow: ! and cities
without the slightest cause.
Protests Fail.
Protests to the Russian consuls
were of no avail. These officials
seemed more than anxious to avoid all
friction with the French government
One of the consuls even went SO far
as to write to the project of police
of one of the French provinces
MANY of the Russian students are
undoubtedly Socialists and will there
fore not be protected by the govern
ment Of the Gar. Their imprison
ment, however, would create indigna
ton in Russia and should be avoided
They can be driven out of France by
exoelling them from the colleges anC
universities and making life miserable
for them generally. To this proceed
ure the Russian government will not
object"

Prejudice Shown Russian
Refugees and Students in
French Cities and Schools.
Paper Calls Russians Buns
and towards Afraid to Re-
turn Home to Fight
Against German Invaders.

STOCKHOLM, Jan. 4.-Russian
papers bitterly complain that Russian
subjects living in France, mostly polit-
ical fugitives, wealthy idlers and stu
dents, are treated very badly by the
French authorities. The monthly
"Golosz Sarubesohnawo Studentschaft-
wa" the organ of the Russian stu.
dents in foreign countries, says in it's
last issue:
"The lot of the Russian in France
has been very severe since the begin
ming of the war. The students especial
ly are treated unjustly and are perse-
cuted Since the armies of the Car
suffered their reverses no Russian is
welcome in France and matters grad
ually are getting worse

In some cities the French police
authorities are fair enough and re-
frain from molesting the Russians
who, for one reason or another, can
not return home to fight for their
country, but in other places all Rus
slams have been and are still bounded
like enemies of France.
Tie worst cases of persecution are
reported from Toulouse where many
Russians are enrolled as students in
the Electro-Technical Institute. The
batting of the Russian students was
inaugurated by the reactionary paper
"L'Express du Midi" which said in an
editorial: Our city is full of buns
who call themselves Russians. Most
of these strong, healthy young fellows
are not real Russians, but Germans

rated revolutionists. They refuse to
