RENEWING ATTEMPTS TO
- FRATERNIZE WITH RUSSIANS

TBy Associated Pressl
Is, PETROGRAD. Thursday. October II.
= -Austro- German troops arc renewing
their attempts to fratcrnize with tho
Russians. but SO far every effort has
met with failure. according to a state
mcnt issued by the Russian War Office
based on reports from the front. The
general situation is quiet. although
some Of the armies as we'll as some
OF the Cossack units still act with
some suspicion towards the command
ing stan. The question OF peace is
said 10 agitate the great mass of the
Russian soldiers.
AT some places there is agitation
against capital punishment, but at tho
same time demand are made that pun
ishment in the rear of the fighting
front be enforced with greater strict
ness The cases where orders are
discussed or not carried out are COM
paratively rare, the soldiers who re-
fuse to obey orders usually being
brought to trial. The War Office an
nounces with regret that the evil in
fluence OF the Eendarmes and police
still asserts itself. So far no meas
rres have been taken 10 isolate those
elements. Complaints OF want Of dis
cipline among new recruits are still
numerous. The authorities of the
bodies elected by the soldiers them
selves ia increasing daily. The soldiers
are reported to often express desires
for instructive literature and lectures.
On the Roumanian front, the idea OF
q strictly socialistic government has
not gained popularity. The general
opinion of the army there is that =
coalition government which would
unite all factions should be formed
