the fact that a united republican party

PETROGRAD, May 13.-The notable
artillery action that has been in prog
ress along a large part of the Russian
front, as far south as Baranovichi. TAX
en- in connection with a desperate two
day attack by the Germans nj the VI
cinity of Jacobstadt, is taken here as
a possible forerunner of an attempt
on their part to advance in the Dvinsk-
Riga region, but is not considered as
seriously indicating any' definite inten-
ton by the Germans to initiate gen.
eral offensive.
The operations before Nerdun, II Is
argued, are occupying the attention of
the Germans to the exclusion OF any
possibility of such an offensive until
such time as the Germans can trans
fer new forces to this front 1t is esti-
mated that only one division was en-
gagged in the Jacobstadt operation, for
which reason military critics regard II
as demonstration intended to conceal
the real intentions of the Teutons.
