LONDON, July 4.-The victor
ious sweep of Russia's army con-
tinued today-the third day of the
first offensive of the free nation
without single check of con-
sequence from the Teutonic de-
Tense.
Semi-official dispatches from
Petrograd indicated capture of
Brzezany, SO miles southeast Of
Lemberg, is imminent. The en-
envy has apparently abandoned the
city.
A steady stream of prisoners is
still pouring In behind the Russian
lines.
The greatest admiration for the
thoroness of the Job now being
done by Gen. Brusiloff was ex-
pressed here today by military en-
pcrts.
The only apprehension was
based on the astonishingly rapid
progress achieved by the Russian
troops. One of Hindenburg ia
vorite tricks-which he used once
before on the Russians-is to per-
NIT penetration of his lines and
then after an enemy has progress
ed for a considerable distance thru
the break, to attack at the point
of penetration in effort to isolate
the advanced troops. For that
reason the hope was expressed
here that the Russians are con-
solidating all their newly won
positions.

ALLIES, TOO, HAVE THEIR INDEPENDENCE DAYS

Montenegro's day of indepen-
dence is December 10.
The people of this small ally
had felt free since their country's
liberation from Serbian rule in
1889. But kings continued to
rule them as automatically as
elsewhere in Europe.
1t was not until December 10.
1905. that popular discomfort
grew to such degrees that Prince
Nicholas was forced to proclaim
the abolition of the autocratic sys-
TEN. He summoned popular
national assembly and issued a IL
beral constitution to which he
took oath and which still is the
country's basic law.

March 16 as her July 4.
On that day, this year, the pro-

sued its famous appeal to the peo-

The next day Gear Nicholas was
forced to abdicate.
Independence day to the Rus
SLAMS will mean not only their own
freedom from the bonds of autoc-
racy, but the freedom of the thou
sands of political exiles in Siberia
and the democratization of the
whole empire. Ex-czar Nicholas
may be on trial for disagreement.

A picturesque incident occurred

In the midst of the meeting
word was received and read from
the platform of the latest sue
cesses achieved by the fighters.
A score or more COssaeks bolted
from the hall, jumped on their
horses, and, wildly cheering,
spread the news as they galloped
thru the city.
Later the chief of the Cossacks
invited Russell and Duncan to re-
peat some of the remarks they had
made to great throngs which as
sembled on the streets to cheer
the news.
Minister of War Kerensky was

The first step toward Serbian in
dependence was taken July 8.
1903, when peace was declared be-
tween Turkey and Serbia, after a
revolution led by Kara George.
The people gained partial auton-
omy under Turkish rule then. but
it was the greatest step forward
the Serbians had made.
The Serbians gradually won
complete independence from Tur-
key and then we're able to force
their rulers to grant them oonstitu-
tional government. King Alexan-
der, on May 81, 1894, granted the
people the constitution which Is
still, almost in its entirety, the
foundation for the laws of Serbia.

This was during the revolt
