HERO OF THREE WARS
HELD IN CONFINEMENT

Kronstadt, June 9.-The last act OF
the executive body of the krOnstadt
cecessionists before surrendering to
the Petrograd government was to
permit the Associated Press CORE
spondent to inspect the prison, in
which are confined the army and
navy officers suspected of actively
sympathizing with the autocracy.
With the horrors of the prisons part
ly real and partly imagined, Russia
has been wrought up for the last 10
days. Heretofore no inspection has
been allowed.
Mixed with Soldiers.
In the naval preliminary prison, the
officers confined are in four separate
halls mixed with private soldiers, and
in the third of these halls with men
convicted of murder and theft. In
appearance they were dirty, pale and
unshaven, but not emaciated.
The halls are increasingly over
crowded. There is an average of one
foot of space between the beds. There
are no chairs or other furniture, ex-
cept small tables.
Solitary Confinement.
This section of the Jail consists
entirely of solitary confinement cells,
six feet wide by nine feet deep. The
cells are unventilated, windowless
and dimly lighted, through a barred
aperature in the door. In one or
these cells is Admiral Kurosh, the
hero of three wars. He is in bad
health. In another is captain of the
first rank, Almquist, who was lately
released as innocent by the cecession-
lists executives Of inquiry, but who
was dragged back by a mob to jail.
The halls of the prison are over
run with rats, which annoy the cap
tives at night.
The officers complained bitterly
that although they had been in prison
three months. no formal accusations
had been preferred against them. and
they were entirely ignorant OF the
cause of their imprisonment.

FALL Of LENS
NEXT MOVE OF
ENTENTE ARMY
General Haig's Forces Purpose to
Give No Rest to Hard Press
ed Germans
FIELD OF ATTACK
TWENTY MILES SOUTH
Arras Battle Has Made Serious
1nroads on Major Defenses
of Enemy ,
ASSOCIATED Press.)

General Haigs evident purpose to
give no rest to the Germans before
the British front in Belgium and
northern France had a new exemplt-
tication last night The troops struck
at the German positions around Lens
on a twO-mile front, south of the
Souchez river. The enemy lines were
penetrated to- depth of more than
half a mile, and successful operations
were carried CT further north as far
as La Basse.
Field Of Attack.
The field of this attack lies from
Is to 20 miles south Of that made
Thursday by the British, which result
ed in the capture of the commanding
Wypschaete,Me ridge, and the
elimination of the last annoying sail
ent on the entire line. Somewhat
widely separated as are the two fields
of attack, they bear relations with
each other as constituting points at
which the great manufacturing dis
trict of northern France, centering
in Lille, may be subjected to alter
mating pressure.
Serious lnroads.
Already the Arras battle, Of which
this latest development Is q cOntinu.
alton, has made serious inroads on
the major defenses of this region.
The fall of Lens, the great coal city;
just before the British, lines on this
po;nt, has long been considered only
a matter Of time. The movement re-
ported today apparently means the
time Is near at hand and that another
great blow Is about to be struck,
clearing the Germans from their
much priced French possessions in
this area.
Success Of British.
The success of the British in the
Lens operations may we'll have been
due in part to the necessity of the
Germans making heavy concentration
against the British on the Belgian
front. 1t was during the progress OF
desperate counter attack on the
ground won by the British forces In
the Observation-Disclosures sector, that
General Haig made his attack in the
more solttherly area.
On the front held by the French
there also was hard fighting during
the night. The Germans attacked
again at several points in the Aisne
area. They failed to gain anything
and suffered heavy losses in all their
thrusts.
