RUSSIANS SHOWING
MORE RESISTANCE

London, July 25.-Signs of halt in
the Russian retreat in Eastern Galicia
before the advancing Austro-German
armies are largely wanting, but indica-
tions of stronger resistance in some
sectors are cropping out. The Rus
sian generals undoubtedly are doing
their utmost to bring their men to a
realization of the necessity of implicit
obedience and the present plight OF
certain sections of the Muscovite ar
mics because of laxness in discipline
can hardly help serving as an object
lesson.
The resisting powers of the Rus
SLAMS are admitted by Berlin to be
strongly in evidence south of the
Brzezany line and ii is said here that
such fighting capacities as the Rus
SLAMS possess need to be exercised to
the limit.
There has been notable activity of
late by both the British and French
artillery. The situation on the Aisne
front appears to show that the crown
prince fears a renewal of the French
offensive there, his countless attacks
being considered in many quarters an
attempt to forestall 1T. On the Brit
ish front the intense aerial and artil-
lery activity presage important move
ments.

Suspecting that the discovery may

the potatoes were left to rot instead
of being brought to market.

Petrograd, June 5.-Sailors from the
hronstadt garrison, which recently de-
clared it's independence of the central
government, arrived in Petrograd with
the announcement that warships at
Kronstadt would come to Petrograd
Immediately and land men to make
demonstrations.
Later it was reported that sailors
had landed at Gutuyeff island, port Of
Petrograd, and begun an attack. A Wis
it to the Gutuyeff port quarter showed
that the story of the landing and at
tack was untrue. However, it was suf-

Capital Awaits Demonstration.
Petrograd waits for the threatened
demonstrations by the Kronstadt war
ships and at the time passed with no
such incident the announcement Of the
sailors who reached here came to be
regarded by a majority as merely
boastful talk on the part of the eX-
tremists acting in defiance of the or
ders Of Anatole Aamanon, president Of
the Kronstadt council Of working
men and soldiers deputies.
The Kronstadt sailors who came to
Petrograd said the demonstrations
would be for the purpose Of bringing
about new elections Of members Of
the council of soldiers and working
mems delegates, whose present mem
bers were denounced as bourgeois.
Demand Made for Nicholas.
The sailors also demanded that For
mer Emperor Nicholas be handed over
to them. At street meetings they ex-
pressed dissatisfaction with War Min
lister Kerensky and the whole provi-
sional government, especially aboli-
ton Of the death penalty, which they
characterized as premature.
