probably was to the Russian personnel, the taking Of more

have been to the enemy.
There remained the question of whether the drive could
be kept up with sufficient force to reap the full advantage Of
the victory While this question does not yet seem to have
been definitely decided, the indications today are admittedly
encouraging. Ground has been gained beyond the line of the
original attack and the Russians are advancing in the direc-

In this first smash at the heart Of

parallel to the astounding espionage
system discovered in England when
war broke out between that country
and Germany.
Lieut.. Col. Bielkowsky has been
living in the U. S. for 81 years, all

of the enemy's general staff, and a
close friend Of the kaiser.
Two other Germans were arrested

found 8 rifles and shot-guns, eight
revolvers, a quantity of ammuni-
ton, maps of the United States,
