WASHINGTON. Feb. 22.-The
American general staff is watching tile
new German sweep into Russia with
little more than academic interest. 1t
is quite convinced that Russia is no
longer a military factor to be consider

and rifles captured can be used only
as long as the ammunition supply cap
tured with them holds out.
Observers bother here and in Rus
STA, its is understood are satisfied that
