Korniloff Gained His Freedom Through Clever Ruse of Friends

PETROGRAD. Dec. 6. General Korniloff, who had been under arrest since the collapse of his movement against Premier Kerensky and whose escape from prison was recently reported, gained his liberty by a clever ruse on the part of friends, who pre-j sented a forged document purporting to be a release signed by Shoblovsky, head of the commission having Korniloff's case under inquiry. This information has been received from Mohilev. Korniloff marched out of the town at the head of four hundred of the Tekin regiment, accomPHONE 1072

The nervous part about those bombs which -have their fuses set and burning before they leave the hand of the bomber is the priming, for should the bomber touch the delicate little primer a little too hard his comrades would be picking him up in pieces along the countryside. This sort of bomb will explode in five seconds after the fuse begins to sputter and the bomber must get it away within that interval. panied by Generals Denekin, Markoff and Arloff, his erstwhile fellow-prison eTs. On Sunday there arrived at Buikoff, where Korniloff was Imprisoned, a uniformed officer who presented to the commandant a paper ordering the releast of the imprisoned men. The commandant, suspicious of fraud, tried to communicate with his staff, by telephone, but found the wire interrupted. The news of the arrival of the officer bearing the order for release reached the ears of the Tekin regiment composing the garrison, who were friendly to Korniloff and who overruled the commandant's hesitation and demanded the immediate fulfillment of the order. Upon his release. Gen. Korniloff placed himself at the head of his troops, set free all the other prisoners and took the road to the south. Shobloysky denies having issued such an order.

Italians Fall Back Three Miles Between Asiago and the Brenta

(By Associated Press) America's declaration of war on Austria-Hungary comes at a moment when the Italian northern front between Asiago and the Brenta is being hard pressed by an Austro-German army under Field Marshal Conrad Von Hoetzendorf. The adoption of the declaration by Congress probably will be a great moral help to the people of Italy and especially to the heroic troops in the Trentino. In four days the invading AustroGermans have forced the Italians back an average of three miles on a ten-mile front. The attacking forces lost heavily. ' The number of Italians captured by the Germans and Austrians in their new offensive now exceeds 16,000, according to an official Austrian announcement. There is a lull in th3 fighting around Cambrai and the Germans have made no attack in force against the new British positions.
