The Russian governments policy of blood and iron" is to be carried out along lines which bode ill for the sedi- tious troops along the eastern front and those persons within the country who are trying to nullify the good work that has followed in the wake of the revolution.
 Capital punishment, abolished with the advent of the new government again has been put into force on the demand of the military commanders at the front, who now will be able to assemble field courts martial and put to death summarily traitors in the army.
 General Korniloff, commander of the forces in Galicia, whose disaffection and assertions have wrought havoc in the Russian morale, is reported to have taken the drastic step of having a division of fleeing towards of the Eleventh Army cut to pieces by their faithful former brothers in arms. Meanwhile, pending the tightening of the reins of repression the Russian troops everywhere in Galicia, from the region around Tarnopol southward to the Southwestern Bukowina border, are continuing to give way. with rela- lively little fighting before the Ger mans and Austro Hungarians. The
 important towns of Buczacz. Tlumacz, Ottynia and Delatyn have been cap tured by the Teutonic allies, and the Russians also have been driven from the Tartar Pass in the Carpathians and their positions in the Kirlibaba sector to the southeast.
 The withdrawal of the Russians in the latter regions apparently paves the way for the Teutons to re-enter Buko-
 vina. Berlin reports the Germans de- bouching from the Tartar Pass and to De headed in the direction of CZerno- witz, capital of Bukowina
 In addition to preaching the German lines south of the Carpathians the Russians and Rumanians made largo captures of men and guns. The Ru- manians took more than a thousand prisoners, B guns, 17 machine guns and other war equipment, while the Russians took approximately the same number of prisoners and 24 guns. l In the north around Krevo, the Ger mans have been enabled to recapture l the greater part of the territory taken from them early in the week, compel ling the Russians under a heavy artil- | lery fire to fall back.
 | A vicious thrust at the French line in the
 Aisne region of France, and again they have paid dearly in men killed or wounded for slight gain. The attack ! was delivered over a front of two l miles, from Hurtebise to La Bovelle | but only to the south of Allies was the crown princes army able to penetrate | French first line trenches In Cham
 pagne the French have captured Ger 1 man trenches.
 Over a orty-mile front from the
 coast in Flanders to the river Lys, the terrific artillery duel between the | British and Germans continues.
 The Germans are said to be suffer i ing from nerves" and are raining shells on every point along the Brit
 sh front where movements outside the
 sual routine are observed. The Lens i sector, Armentieres and other places | recently have been shelled.
 Two German vessels have been sunk
 in the North sea by destroyers and two
 others captured and taken into an l English port.
