TRY TO MAKE RUSSIANS DRUNK
Germans Use Alcohol and Ink On
East Front.

Petrograd, June 20.-Germany is
using alcohol and ink instead of pow.
der on the east front. The propaganda
OF liquor and notes is relied on more

strength of the Russian army.
Despite all efforts to stop communi-
cation between the two sets of
trenches, German liquor seems to an.
pear on the Russian side and every
morning there are hundreds of neatly
prlnted-or carefully written notes and
letters deposited near the Russian
trenches.
Reports from the front detailed an
increasing betterment of morale
among the Russian soldiers.
