Washington. June l3,-Sir Douglas
Haig's troops have again smashed
into the German front east and north
east of Messines and largely extended
the gains previously made in this re-
gion. Nearly two miles of trenches
were stormed and occupied by the
Britishers and in addition the small
village of Gaspard, directly east OF
Messines, was captured, according to
latest reports.
Berlin reports activity by the Brit
ish cavalry east Of Messines during
Monday afternoon, but says the attack
by the mounted men was repulsed and
only remnants of them were able to
return to their positions. The Ger
man artillery in the neighborhood OF
Lens and Ypres is bombarding the
British line.
The artillery Of the French and Ger
mans is still active along the Chemin
Dos Danes and in Champagne. Dur
ing Tuesday TIE French made raids
on German trenches near the Butte
de Mesnil and in the region of Haute
Chevauchae, doing considerable dam
age to the positions and capturing
prisoners.
Bad weather for the moment has
caused some cessation in the activity
in the Trentino district of the Aus
troltalian theater, although artillery
duels OF considerable proportions con-
tinue. There has been no return OF
the infantry attacks on the Jualian
front to the east, although the Aus
TRANS have been particularly active
with their big guns against the Aus
trian lines on the Vodice and the
heights northeast OF Gorilla.
In Macedonia the Teutonic allies
have met with repulses in several
surprise attacks made against the
French troops. The artillery duels
continue in the Cerna bend.

brought to a head the cabinet crisis
which has been impending for the
last few weeks.
Premier BRAND was expected to

avoid a fall Of the entire ministry
which has been forecasted since a
reported count early in the week
was cited by the opposition. showing
BRAND could not secure a vote OF

Absoludsm to Be Followed By More Democratic Rule,
and Closer Cooperation With the Entente Alliance
In the Attempt 10 Crush the Central Powers

Dispatches tonight from Petrograd
emphasized that the revolution was
not one against the ruling dynasr,
Rather II represented the army's de-
termination coupled with that OF
the duma. 10 throw OF lmpediments
TO Slav military success, Those Inn
pediments. II was assumed, were the
pro-German elements In Russia's bu-
reaucracy.
The petrograd advices made II
plain that pro-Germanism among
Russian ofiicialdom was 80 rampant
that the Russian people believe II re-
sponsible for hindering Russia's sue
cessful prosecution OF the war.
Governing committees OF the new
order were said completely to con-
troll pctrograd and Moscow.
II the duma has seized control Of
the Petrograd government. the demo-
cratizing OF kussia may have begun.
While detailing the reported steps by
which the duma ssumcd control, the
Berlin statement did not reveal the
actual reasons. Allied sources are
silent. One theory is that the Rus.
sian people through the duma have
risen up against the Russian bureau
cracy. In this case. the revolution
cannot fail to make Russia even more
pro-ally and anti-German than here
tofore. The Russian bureaucracy has
been charged with German leanings;
there have been frequent whispers OF
Russian ofiicials selling out to Ger
many. The bureaucracy represents
a sublimated militarist government,
an Improvement on the German sys.
tenn. Those who opposed the system
could naturally be expected bitterly
to oppose German system founded
on much the same principle. The
fact that the usual war ONCE state,
ment was issued today---four days
after the Berlin story declares the
revolution was started--apparentl,
indicates governmental routine IN
Russia Is proceeding as usual. 1,
seems likely. II the Berlin report be
true. that Russia hes simply changed
masters, from the bureaucracy to tn,
duma. and that her world policies
will not be changed. The allies prob
ably win welcome any change b,
Which Russia can be made more ef
fcient, provided that there will b,
no diminution in It's determination

the western roads will meet here
either late today or tomorrow to de-
termine what action will be taken
in regard to the issuance Of embar-
goes on western railroads.
The concensus of opinion here
is that western roads terminating in
Chicago will follow the lead Of east
ern roads.
The railroad managers feel GER
tain that. a break will come. Neither
side has shown any indication Of a
back-down, or any apprehension over
consequences that may follow a
