Chester Dispatches

By CARRIE BOERNER.

.BERLIN. April 6. A war correspondent who has been at the eastern front since August, 1914, pens an .interesting description ; of the present

Russian armies for a Berlin newspaper. i After .twenty : months of continuous contact - with the enemy -the German

officers have a pretty clear Jdea of the present condition of the Russian army, the correspondent says. The. information comesr partly ' from prisoners, but the tales of suffering told by the captured Russian soldiers' are taken with more than the proverbial grain of salt, because the men generally labor under great excitement or hope to get better treatment by picturing, the situation behind their front as dark- as possible. . Many'pf the prisoners complain that they were driven Into the firing line by Cossacks, whom they hate bitterly. These: stories were not believed at first, , but they have been verified beyond all doubt A German brigade

commander and his staff recently ob

served . a detachment of Cossacks which emerged from a' village "and attacked a wavering Russian infantry

regiment from the' rear to drive it

forward. ' Cossacks Decimated. A concentrated 'German artillery Are was directed against the Cossacks and prisoners later - said that they never experienced greated joy than when they aw the hated "drivers" mowed down. V The use of the Cossacks for the purpose of driving other troops into battle dr.ay-. be of local' advantage to the Russian commanders here and there, but lhTe.se barbarous methods work more harm than good.- Knowing that they are continuously under two Qres, from the front und from the rear, if they retreat, tbe Russian soldiers have become very nervous.- They. lose their confidence 1 and what little initiative tney ' formerly possessed. I Tbe human material of the Russian

army is as good as ever and seemingly inexhaustible. All fresh troops brought to the front consist T of physically

splendid soldiers, but as a rule they are very poorly trained ' and badly armed. When these men are sent forward to attack they are only given the direction In which , they have , to advance. The officers stay behind and the companies and even whole regiments are led by - non-commissioned

officers. No Hope Offered. For the. soldiers there is no choice, although they, know that their attacks against the . German fortifications with their thousands of cannon and machine guns are hopeless. They must advance or die, because if they waver and turn :, they are threatened by machine guns and Cossacks behind their front. ; Wherever the Russian ; soldiers suc

ceed in reaching a' German . position they fight like ' demons, because the capture of a trench : means life ' or death to them. Their' first line generally only carries hand grenades, the second line has rifles, while the third

advances unarmed and picks up the rifles- and other ' arms of the killed and wounded. The men of . a captured Russian company recently complained . that they were not able to . fire a single shot 'when'-they 'had to attack because they were given rifles which they bad never used before. The rifles had been taken from wounded or captured Austrians, and the Russian soldiers who were to fight with them did not understand their mechanism. The Russian artillery is still ex-

rcellently trained and would have to be

feared with better technical equip-

I ment. Most of the Russian artillery

officers are capable, highly educated men,' but they can-accomplish nothing

with the . limited material at their, dis

posal. They lack guns and ammuni

tion and what they have Is mostly of

inferior quality. A recently captured

commander of an artillery regiment declared that the guns obtained from Japan are of little use and much of the ammunition bought in America is

worthless.

All of these disadvantages are of course, well known to the Russian

commanders and the army administra

tion at Petrograd, but they still hope to overcome them by throwing the enormous masses of men into the fray and wearing the Germans and Austrians down. -

It was condemned as . being unfit for wear and then sent to the com

pany quarter-ntaster-sergeant .for in

"Say, John, is that right? And you say that the entire house, is ideally warmed all over all the time!"

Comfortable party "Oh, sure, we're warm as toast. Why, listen! Before I discovered the fault in our old-fashioned heating, our home was a regular 'barn.' Wife had a series of colds every winter, and then the kiddies would sniffle with theirs until our house got to be the doctpr's hang-out." Chilled party "That's the way it is here now with everybody, from the baby up. Something's got to be done or I'll move.
