by modern democracies and hasten to

The declaration of tho provisional
government being imbued with the new
spirit Of free democracy naturally can
not afford the least pretext for assump.
tion that the demolition OF the old
structure has entailed any slackening
on the part of Russia in the common
Estruggle OF all the allies. On the con-

sbring the world war to decisive VIC

Will Regard Engagement.
This spirit has become still more ac-
tive by the fact that 1t is concentrated
on the immediate task. which touches
everybody so closely. of driving back
the enemy who invaded our territory. It
is understood. and the annexed docu-
ment SO expressly states. that the pro-
visional government in safeguarding
the right acquired for our country
will maintain a strict regard for its
engagements with the allies of Russia
Firmly convinced of the victorious
issue of the present war and in perfect
agreement with our allies, the pro-
visional government Is likewise conf
dent that the problems which were
created by this war will be solved by
the creation on firm basis of last
ing peace and that. Inspired by identi-
cal sentiments, the allied democracies
will find means of establishing the
guarantees and penalties necessary to
prevent any recourse to sanguinary
war in the future"

Better German Feeling.

This same oficer asserted that the
morale of the troops opposite the Brit
ish front was better than during the
battle of the Somme. He said that the
German soldiers now see their air
planes about. They also seem to be
getting sorely needed artillery support
during the last three weeks. There had
been much complaint about the lack
of this support. and the infantrymen
had begun 10 regard themselves mere
ly as targets for the British artillery.
The officer declared that the feeling
was all changed now and that the Ger
mans believe their artillery equal to
any.
Oddly enough. German shells began to
pitch about the prisoners collecting
station with deafening reports, so
characteristic of the German high ex-
plosives. and the Germans had to be
moved to safer spot. The prisoners
taken at Fresnoy were all Prussians
Two fresh regiments had come into
the Fresnoy trenches last night for a
great German counter attack on Ar
leux in the morning. Needless TO saw.
their plans were a bit upset by the
British attack.
