RUSSIAN WOMEN
 FASTENING END
 OF SOVIET GOVT,
Has Not Realized the Ideals of Their Leaders Who
 Turn Against It.

Stockholm, Sept. 9-(By the Asso- ciated Press)-The soviet republic has not realized the ideals of Russian women and they are playing an inn portant part in hastening it's end. Their influence in this connection is exerted even more powerfully than it was in bringing the dictatorship of the proletariat into existence. Evi- dence of this has been observed by the writer, who came out of Russia with the American refugees who reached Haparanda, Sweden, last week.
 Maria Spiridonovo probably was the most powerful leader in the establish ment of the Bolshevik power. As the recognized spokesman of the peasants forming 85 per cent. of the Russian population she swung the peasant strength into line and persuaded the Social Revolutionaries of the left to join the Bolsheviki. On July i, eight months later, she delivered a startling speech of defiance to German oppres- sion, which resulted in the assassina- tion of Count von Mirbach, German ambassador to Russia, and announce ed that the Social Revolutionaries would make bitter war on the Bolshe- wiki Several prominent officials have been slain since Mile.

Pioneers throwing bridges over the canal 1. yards wide suffered not only from the quick firers but were in good rang" of German grenades. It required two days to advance to the Ailette from the village Pont Saint Mard and four days to gain 500 yards of ground.

 The French engineers finally sue ceeded in bridging the canal and over the first bridge an enraged ser geant charged the Germans around T machine gun position and single hand ed made twelve of them prisoners.

 During several hours French pro- jectiles sent splinters flying all through the timber and when the infantry charged they had to go on to Coucy la Vile to catch the enemy, who had fled, leaving his guns and an enor- nous amount of materials and sup plies behind. Coucy le Chateau and the height on which it stands thus was turned from the north and flank ed at the same time from the south, while thousands of shells filled the ruins of the surrounding positions Chateau Nogent, to the southeast, was taken about the same time and with it the Germans lost positions on which they had spent a tremendous effort. They retired behind their three lines of barbed wire on the line to Fresnes. The booty they left behind in two immense engineering dumps included locomotives, railroad material of all sorts and a great num0er of quick firers and emplacement guns and one 15-inch gun with which they had bOmbarded French towns far behind the lines east of the Ailette.

Successes also have been scored by the French in the St. Quentin region, where their lines join the British. There have been indications that the Germans intended making a stand along the Crozat canal, defending the stronghold of La Fere, the principal outlying protection of the St. Gobain Massig oe the north. This plan ap- pears already to have been frustrated by the French, however, crossing of the canal opposite Liez, three miles northwest of La Fere, having been forced last night.
 Elsewhere the French are right up to, tl1e Crozat positions for the entire length of the canal with their infan- try only four miles from St. Quentin and their cavalry patrols hard on La Fere.
