POSITION OF RUSSIAN

They Have Secured the Safety of All
 Entrances to Petrograd.

Petrograd, Thursday, Oct. 25.-In connection with the official reports that the Germans are withdrawing some twenty Versts to new lines on the Riga front, a general has report cd to the government that the position of the Russian forces is improving.
 He said they had managed to pre- vent a further advance and had se- cured the safety of all ways of en- trance to Petrograd. The armies ap- parently had awakened to conscious ness," he added.
 As a result of the German with drawaI apparently for the purpose of strengthening the line for winter per manency, it is understood the provis- ional government has changed its view that the capital should be removed to Moscow immediately and that it will now proceed very sliowly with the removal programme.

the ultimate success of the French op- erations, asserts that it is not outside German rules of warfare voluntarily to abandon territory not essential to Germany's great tactical plan, in order that losses may be reduced. The Aus tro-German armies on the Isonzo front are fast developing their offensive against General Cadorna's forces. AL ready the Italians on the northern wing of the 25 mile frint have been forced to give ground and at several places are back across the Isonzo north and south of Tolmino, where the battle is waging on Italian territory.
 To the south the situation of the Italians admittedly is precarious. Even the Italian war office announces that the evacuation of the Bainsizza -Heil- fgengefst plateau is nea-a retirement which will render null in a great measure the brilliant advance of the Italians in the summer campaign.
 The combined German and Austro- Hungarian forces up to the present are declared by the Berlin war office to have captured in excess of 30, 0,000 priS- oners and more than 800 guns, and it is stated that these figures hourly are being augmented.
 The German retreat along the north ern Russian front still continues. Rus sians endeavoring to take up the pur- suit have reached the Riga-Ore1 rail- way, but have not come within sight of the enemy. On the EsthoniaE coast the Germans have again endeavored to nxake a landing on the Werder penistsla to reinforce the troops suc- cessfully put ashore there last week. The Russians however, drove them off.
 Germany's eighteenth enemy has en- tered the field against her. By a unanimous vote, the Brazil ian congress has passed resolution declaring that a state of war exists between Germany and Brazil. The president of the republic has sanction ed the proclamation of a state of war.

ready has been started by the depart | ment of justice in various sections of the east and middle west, both as to anthracite and bituminous coal. To Summon Witnesses. Instructions have been sent to Unit ed States attorneys conducting these local investigations to summon wit nesses, determine the truth of charges and, where justified, to bring prompt ly proceedings under the criminal law against those believed to be guilty. The result of the inquiries has not been reported as yet to the depart ment.
 s Complaints About Profits.
 These instructions were based up- ment to the effect that the margin of profit allowed dealers by the govern ment had been exceeded. Measured by the great volume of complaints which have been received by the fuel administration, the instances under investigation by the department of justice are comparatively inconse- quential. Hundreds of letters and tel egrams from every section of the country, it is understood, have been sent to the fuel administration.
 Disposition of these complaints is one of the subjects which is now pressing the fuel administra tion. it is understood, and action concerning
 
 few days. Indications are that the bulk of the complaints, upon which criminal proceedings might be brought if the truth of the charges can be established-will be turned over to the department oi justice. as the pro- scouting arm of the government, with the suggestion that violators of the law be prosecuted promptly.
 Heavy penalties are provided for violation of the law, under which the president fixed the price to be charged for coal and the margins allowed job bers and dealers.
 How the Law Reads.
 "whoever," reads the law. "shall with knowledge that the prices of any such commodity have been fixed as herein provided, ask, demand or re- ceive a higher price, or whoever shall, have been prescribed as herein pro- vided, violate or refuse to conform to any of the same, shall upon convic- ton, be punished by fine of not more than $5,000, or by Imprisonment for not more than two years. or both.
 'fEach independent transaction shall constitute a separate offence.''
 Coupled with the complaints charg- ing that higher prices than those au- thorized have been demanded and ob- persons and firms alleging that they have been unable to buy coal at any price. With these, it is thought, the government has little power to deal. except in cases where the coal opera tors themselves refused to sell coal which had not been contracted for previously.
 Most of the latter complaints, it is come from purchasers for household consumption who have been hard hit by the scarcity of coal in various localities.
 There is no disposition on the part of the government. it was said au- tonight, to accept the charges as true without the fullest The belief prevails that coal dealers by the thousands have carried out and are carrying out the governments policy to the letter Vio- lators of the law. if any, it is thought, are the small minority. who have been to take advantage of local conditions and of the general scar city of fuel in certain sections.
