NEW GOVERNMENT TAKING FIRM
HOLD ON At.
TENTIoN TO WlPiNo OUT
GERMAN INTRIGUE.
NATION WIDE MAN HUNT
CONCLUDED IN FINLAND
Paoifiet Aoltator Now In Hande q
0iavo eaId to Have Been Paid
by 0ermany-kaloer Sees
Hlndenburo Strike Terrific
Blow.

Amsterdam, July 26.-Tho new Rus.
sian government is taking q firm hold
Of things and IL directing it's attention
for the moment to the wiping out Of
German intrigue within it's borders.
The first move has been made in tho
arrest of Nicolai Lenine, principal pac.
fist agitator, said to have been paid
by the German general staff to return
to Russia, whence he was an exile,
and embarrass the new government
by his propaganda. Lenine fled Pc.
trograd several weeks ago. He was
caught after a nationwide man hunt,
finally being apprehended in Finland.
TO Die as Traitor.
Petrograd dispatches indicate that
he will find his fate before firing
squad. Treason will be the charge.
For several weeks the government
was afraid to touch Lenine, despite
the openness of his propaganda. He
had a powerful following, gathered
from all classes by his burning ora
tory. But finally his political con-
nections were checked up; his life
uncovered to such an extent that the
government felt free to act.
Government Fixes Test.
Then again, the government at its
recent reorganization has become more
confident of it's power. It is showing
4 greater degree of determination and
q stronger hand. ,-
It now faces its greatest test. When
full details of the latest reverse-the
defeat which threatens to become q
debacle- reaches the people the test
will come. The Russian government
officially admitted the loss of Stanis-
lau, according to word received here.
~ Kaiser at Tarnopoi.
Defeat of detachments south Of
Tarnopol also was admitted.
For more than $50 miles, from east
to Zlochov to tho wooded crests Of
the Carpathians, Hindenburg con.
tinues to strike. Three great Russian
bases have been seized, according to
reports reaching here from Berlin.
The Wolff Bureau, semi officially Ger.
man news agency, declares Tarnopol,
stanislau and Nadworna have been
taken.
Hindenburg's great blow is being
witnessed by the man who is most
vitality interested-the kaiser. He
was at the Tarnopo1 front when his
troops carried through. His pleasure
at developments is shown by the fact
that he has distributed orders of
merit broadcast. Prince Leopold Of
Bavaria, General Hoffman, Prince Leo
pold's chief of staff, and Major Franz,
all are named as having received the
famous "Order Pour LIE Merite with
Oak Leaves and Chain"

Washington, July 26.-No attempt 10.
made here to minimize the serious
ness Of the situation in the war the
aters in Europe The United States
is in the war and will go through
with It; but any hope Of a short strug+
gle has gone glimmering with the ap.
parent almost complete collapse Of the
Russian war machine.
The development was not unexpect-
cd by many army officers. When the
offensive Of July was started by the
Russian forces, the most frequent
comment heard here was that it was
probably the dying kick of the OLD
Russian machine. Most observers were
frankly skeptical that it could pro-
duce any decided result.
Collapse Has Direct Bearing.
For the United States the Russian
collapse may have an immediate and
direct bearing. It will, If the German
general staff presses it's advantage, re-
lease additional German forces to boil
ster up the western front where Amer.
lean troops are to be engaged. The
German line in the west has not been
seriously impaired at any point, off,
GERS here believe. They do not claim
to know specifically the situation all
along the battlefront, but they are un.-
able to see that the British and French
have wrested from the Germans any
key position Of such importance that
It can be used next year to hurl the
enemy back toward the Rhine.
Advantage Gained by Enemy.
It has been noted, in fact, that the
one strategic advantage gained in re-
cent fighting was gained by the Ger
mans. Many officers here believe that
when a small sector of the British
line in Belgium was overwhelmed and
it's defenders nearly all captured or
killed the Germans improved the sit
uation on their weakest front mate
rally. That view is based on opin-
Ion that the only hope Of decisive at
tainments for the Allies in the west
lies in rolling up the German right
flank, where it reaches the sea in Bel
GUM. .- .-.,.. ..f....-e .~.
If that could be stamped out the
only offensive instrument of the Ger
mans would be eliminated entirely or
50 seriously impaired as to make IL
Ineffective.
Would Require Landing.
The big question is whether It could
be done. 1t would require combined
army and navy operations on that part
Of the Belgian coast held by the Ger
mans, for it would be necessary to-
force a landing behind their line and

THE ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC

New York World: There came into
existence yesterday the Army on the
Republic-the first army that the Unit
ed States has ever had which was
created upon the principle that mill
tary service is a duty that every citi-
zen owes to his country.
Every man Of military age who
registered on June is soldier in this
army. Millions of the 100000 who
registered will never be called. Other
millions will be exempt from service
tor one reason or another as defined
by law. But all Of them belong to this
army, whether rich or poor, whether
favored or oppressed by fortune. It is
an army without caste, an American
army in the truest sense of the term.
and thus proud distinction attaches
to those who are called to the colors.
. Secretary Baker said, in drawing the
hrst number in the simple but solemn
ceremony thai brought this army into
being: INV
