 Notwithstanding this fact, however Teutonlc troops are advancing east ward into Russia over a front of four hundred miles. from Riga in the nroth of Lutsl, a scant fifty miles from the Fast Galician border, on the south. Apparently thus far the operation has met with no opposition. The north ern. reaches of the Dvinsk, whence roads run northeastward to Petrograd and eastward to Smolensk, has been captured, and Lutsk, one of the fa- nous fortresses forming the Volhy- nisu triangle and forming the gateway leading eastward to Kiev, has been entered without the Russians at tempting to stay the foe.

 Apparently all is still chaos in Rus sia, with civil war in progress at va rious points and the food situation daily growing worse. So serious has become the latter factor that Trotzky has Eeen appointed food controller and given unlimited powers. Already hs has ordered the arrest of speculators in foodstuffs.
 Behind the entente lines in France and Belgium the military leaders, with their armies ready, are expecting the Germans to launch their much talked | of offensive, but there still is no out ward sign of its near approach.
