Lpatches from Petrograd, coupled
with the official admissions from
Vienna, confirm the belief here that the
Russians are overrunning Che Buko-
wilma crown land exactly as they did in
the FIRST days of the war. Then they
drove the Teutonic armies before them
in the South to the Carpathisn passes,

attack that followed when they were

organizing their armies for this attack.

have been imported from American
sources, and the Allies, Japan especial
~, have been pouring into Russian de-
pots a continuous stream of guns.
shells, high explosives and all of the
material needed in modern warfare.

sectors, for transfer to the Eastern
front, where they are so badly needed

such. times, told of the passage of long
lines OF troop trains, but these reports
might be discounted save the facts of
the situation.

Bukowina, and that they now control
practically the entire railroad system
