REGIMENTS OF WOMEN BATTLE
 WITH TEUTONS
Slav Forces From Baltic to Black Sea Offer Not Slight est Resistance to Advance of Kaiser's Men.

rVEN the actual entry of
 women soldiers into the
 battle on the eastern front has been insufficient to imbue the ranks of the recalcitrant Russians with patriotism. They still are deserting in large numbers in Calicia, leaving a virtually free road open for fresh advances by the Ger mans and Austro-Hungarians.
 From the Baltic to the Black sea only at one point along the line-in the southern Carpathians-have the Russians risen to the occasion anu shown some of their old fighting spirit. Here, fighting shoulder to shoulder with their Rumanian allies, they have attacked and captured several villages from the Germans and broken the heavily fortified Teuton line on wide front.

 In Galicia, the precipitate retreat of the Russians continues almost every where from the Carpathian foothills to the region around Tarnopol, the government apparently not yet having had time to put in force its strong repressiYe measures which M. Keren- sky, the head of the government, has promised to apply in order te stay the retreat. Nadvarona, in the fringe of the foothills, Stanislau and Tarnopol and numerous smaller towns have been taken by the Teutons, who are ap- preaching the important railway june tion of BuczacZ, which lies some 30 miles east of Halicz. The German emperor was an observer of the battle on the Sereth fIont and saw his men put down the only effort of moment that was made to hold them back an attack by the Russians between Tarnopol and Trembowla.
 Since the penetration or the ceS mans on a wide front near Krevo, in which the command of death" com posed of women, took a notable part, despite which large numbers of the Russians ignominously retreated in their old positions without even the vestige of harassment by the enemy. the Russians have not stirred from their trenches to face the foe.
 Aisne Front Quiet
 The hostilities on the Aisne front, where for weeks the Germans have wasted men by thousands in ineffect- ual attempts to break through General Petain's front, have ceased and only artillery duels now are pending. Wed nesday morning witnessed one of the last attempts of the crown prince ro gain his object. This was on the Cali fornia plateau, where an attack was repulsed The Germans have been successful in winning 200 yards of trenches from the British east of Monchy-le-Preux, which they had bonn barded violently for several days past. In the capture of the position the en- emy again used liquid fire. Along the front in northern Belgium the heavy artillery duel continues, put as yet there has been no sign of either the British or the Germans starting an In- fantry attack. British airmen have bombed and caused severe damage to the German base at Zeebrugge and al so to the town of Bruges.
 German submarines or mines last week were responsible for the sinking of 21 merchant vessels or more inan 1900 tons each and three of less than 1e0O tons. In addition. submarine has sunk the British merchant cruiser Otway with the loss of 10 men killed, while a German report says a leu tonic U-boat has accounted for a Brit ish underwater craft.
