trunks, torn clothing from hooks on
the walls and committed other dep

home, she found her rooms in great
disorder. AS this is not the only
mischief of which the Graham boys
have been accused, their case was
submitted to Truant Officer John
HALEY by the local authorities.

The brilliant Russian advance, tho

was led by War Minister Kerensky in
person.
According to news received by the
government the offensive is develop

For several days the war minister
had been continuously at the front,
spending every effort to urge the
troops to advance. He finally rode to
the front line trenches, and, placing
himself at the head Of the troops, gave
the order to advance.
The spectacle Of the popular war
minister on the firing line accom-.
plished what oratory had failed to do,
and the Russian line swept forward

In the assault the Russians occu-
pied the strongly fortified position
southwest OF Brezezany, and also
Koniuchy, on the river of the same
name.
