RUSS SITUATION IS CHANGING
The Germans are digging in. This Information .was contained today In a United Press dispatch from the British front. While lt was not stated-how extensive the entrenching operations have become this may he an acknowledgement hy Hindenburg that for the present at least the German drive is through. It may farther Indicate that the Germans In meeting the expected connter attack may try to force trench warfare rather than fight in the open. Simmi describes an extension of the fighting front at Cat St. Augusts, a mile north of Lens, opposite Zioos. The previous northern point of bombardment was at Avion, a mile sonth of Leu on the northera flank of the German Infantry operations. A heavy German concentration on the Verdun front was reported by the correspondent of an Amsterdam paper who personally visited that sector. The Germans have announced attacks era "other fronts" and intimated Verdun and Italy would bo the objects. Halg tody admitted a short retirement at Semuin and Mezieres, sonth of the Somme. German prisoners were taken. North of the Somme which bisects the battlefront, Halg- characterized all the operations of the past weeTi r.-5 tnuy "local actions."

The pass-word among the union men at 6:30 was, "Down with the Kaiser." At 7 o'clock six revolver shots were fired and the workmen "went over t ho top."
