GERMANS BREAK
RUSSIAN LINES

London.-The French and Russian
fronts continue the scenes OF the
greatest military activity.
In France, between Scissors and
Rheims. the French again have given
an exhibition of their tenacious abil-
ity at defense, like that which held
the Germans back from Verdun.
. In the east the Russian line in Cali
cha apparently is crumbling by reason
of the dissaffection Of some Of the
troops and the vicious assaults the
Germans and AustrO- Hungarians, es'
pecially the Germans, are throwing
against it. ..
Notwithstanding the heavy losses
the Germans have suffered thus far in
their attacks along the Chemin-des.
Danes in France they again made
fruitless attacks with large electives,
among whom were fresh reinforce.
ments. j.
With the continued forward press
OF the Germans in the region Of Zlo-
choff, Galicia, the Russian air line on
the front south of Brzezany is begin
ming to give way, according to the
latest German Official communication.

been here less than week-they are
not all here by any means-and they
already have made themselves thor

The correspondent made an extend

found the men in good spirits and full
OF praise for the friendly cooperation
OF the French people, who have will
ingly and gladly given up many Of
their own comforts to accommodate
the army. The available houses, how
ever, are not sufficient to accommo-
date all the Americans and the coun-
tryside is dotted with newly erected
barracks that make even more pic
turesque this beautiful neighborhood.
