THE Number of German Prisoners Is In- creasing-- Russian Commande r-in- Chief Diagnosed the Limits Of the Germans Correctly, Petrograd, March 1.--The failure of the Germans' latest movement wis as certain as anything ever could be in war from the outset. Af- ter carefully considering all the known factors of this extraordinary attempt to turn both flanks of a strategic front extending over 700 miles, . the Russian military experts were disposed to regard the main ob- jeer of the German attempt as an in- vitation to the Russians to advance upon the direct road te Berlin from Warsaw. Large German forces were obviously transferred from south of the lower Vistula to the area north of that river; and several points on the Pzura and Rawka, notably the fam- ous Borjimow section and again southward of the River Nida section, the Germans made attacks which seemed intended to call attention to their weakness, / If this flanking raid froin East Prussia was meant to enticg the Rus- slans from their positions 6n thé Pol- ish front, it failed signally also. The net result of this extremely costly move is for the Germans a large minus quantity, while for the Rus- sians if represents an enormous gain in several ways The moral value to any army of the splendid retreat of the twentieth army corps under General Bulgakoff before the pres- sure of at least a dozen Gerrhan army corps is incalculable. After every allowance is made for climate condi- tions, which -certainly are mere fa- miliar to the Russian than the Ger- man troops, this slow, steady retreat, fighting every yard in the face of overwhelming odds, finally establish- es'the superiority of the Russian sol- dier over the German in the opinion of the Russians, and the whole army feels redoubled confidence in its fighting powers in consequence, The corresponding demoralization on the German side is also a large asset. But the material gains are consid- erable. Before the Germaus can reach a place of safety, their losses already very great, will add signifi- cantly to that three-quarters of a million men, which they sacrificed merely to learn that the Russians are a great military powerful, a nation of first-class fighting men and no barbarians. More German Prisoners Taken. The Germans have nowhere before been taken prisoners in such num- bers as during the present operations. Even during the severe frosts in De- cember, when German prisoners bé- gan to come in in numbers on the Polish front, owing altogether to their inadequate protection from the Russian winter, their surrenders were on a less general scale than now. The present operating .cause I$ mot frost but another painfub. phe- nomenon of nature--namely, hunger, ~--as a direct result af attempting en- ormous military movements in an im- possible country at an impossible sea- son of the year. Given all the re- sources. of modern civilization at their best, the Germans are a terri- ble enemy; but the very perfection of their machinery, and especially of their machine-made military science and machine-made soldiers, brings "disaster in a wir which is enly 'one- quarter actual fighting and for the other three-quarters is a bitter strug- gle against the phenomena of nature, and the, weakness of the human frame. "The grand duke dtagnosed the limits of the Germans correctly from the beginning' of the war, and there in lies the secret of those re- peated with-drawals and retreats of the Russian forces which have been 80 cruelly misappreciated by crities steeped in German book law.

Tommy Atkins and Jack Tar Take Hardship Lightheartedly. Nothing more clearly shows the ex- eellet spirit of our brave soldiers than light-hearted manner in which hardship. and even death it- gelf, is faced. The man who marches to action with a rollicking song on his lips, who finds nicknames" for the very guns hurling destruction at him, and who makes a jest even of his own sufferings, is a hard man to beat. Pirst and last, Tommy Atkins is a ¢portsman, and even when engaged in the grim game of war he cannot forget entirely the pastimes of peace, ag witness the following incident: One of our hatteries was firing at a buildiug occupied by the enemy, and our lads in tae trenches watch- ed the proceedings, eagerly. At the third discharge the target crumpled up like a house of cards, aid a pros- trate spectator flung up his arfos ex- citedly and yelled "Goal! Hardy him- sell couldn't have stopped that one." Again, when at Mons the long days of retreat became days of ad- vance for 'our troops, a jubilant British private described the situa- tion tersely as "Half time. Change over." Another football enthusiast, limping painfully away from {he firing-line, answered a sympathetic inquiry with a smile, and the ex- planation, "Got fouled in the penalty area." That magnificent bit of marksman-, ship, when H. M. S. Birmingham shot away the periscope of a German sub- marine, was aptly described by one of the crew, who remarked, "Well bowl ed. Just took the bail nicely." During the early days of the war the scarcity of blankets was a fre- quent topic in the trenches, 'I hear there'll be a lot of chaps without blankets to-night," said one Tommy. No sooner had he spoken than a per- fect hurricane of lead swept over them. "If we get much o' this there'll be blankets without men, I'm think- ing," came the grim reply. A private in the trenches, raising himself to get a glimpse of the foe, had his sleeve ripped open by a bul- let. * "Well, I'll be darned," he said, quizzically. Another, on being told by his pal that they were facing a million of the enemy, took careful aim, fired,' and replied, 'No, lad, only 999,999." Two riflemen were discussing, the enormous amcunt of lead used daily, and one suggested the possibility of a shortage. "No fear," said Jig the chum. "Lead's economical stuff: vot | can make a little go a long way." It was an Irishman who, on hearing that the German soldiers have an aversion to '"'cold steel," promptly retorted, "Sure, then, we'll just make it hot for them." Wroth Silver, Of the twenty-seven dukes of the peerage, his grace the Duke of Bue- cleuch, who recently died, was un- doubtedly one of the wealthiest. He possessed nearly half a million acres of land, the annual rental of his es- tates amounting to £238,401, of which amount £43,630 was derived from the English estates. Among the latter, the Bukecleuch family possess one in Warwickshire, in connection with which a quaint custom is observed every year. This custom, which is of Saxon origin, and from one to two thousand years old, is known as the ceremonial of collect ing wreth silver. A number of places in what is known as the Hundred of Knightlow, Warwickshire, are accord- ing to the old custom, expected to contribute their quota of gilver befere sunrise on Martinmas Eve, but sonre amount of grace is usually allowed in this direction. The "audit" usually takes place on an elevated position known as Knightlow Hill, just off the great London-Holyhead . turnpike road, a few miles from Dunchurch, the tryst of the Gunpowder Plot conspirators. An official of the estate offices of the Duke of 3uccleuch usually has charge | of the proceedings, and a document termed "The Charter of Assembly" in- forms the crowd that about thirty parishes are concerned in the tax, the respective contribuiions varying from 1d. to_2s. 31-24.
