RUSSIANS CAPTURE 13,000
PRISONERS ; GERMANS RUSH
TROOPS TO SAVE KOVEL
PUTROGRAD, July 17.
About 13,000 prisoners were captured by
the- Russians In Sunday's lighting In Vol
hynia, tho War Ofllce announced today.
The prisoners counted to date Includo 31 1
officers an1 12,637 men. The Russians cap
tpred 30 guns, a great number of machine
Kuns and other material.
Profoundly Impressed by tho steady Rus
sian advances, which seesaws first at this
point and then nt that, tho Germans are
massing forces irt Kovcl. They are bring
ing up every available rcse'rvo In tho hope
of stalling off tho now Russian mowing
machine.
Tho present comparative calm Is deemed
here to bo a mere prelude to the resumption
of heavy Important fighting.
t Tho fall of Kovel now would be a stag
gering blow to tha Central Powers, com
pletely disrupting their plans.
t Lemberg would bd menaced more than
ever, the road to tho great fortress of Brest
Lltovsk opened and the rear of tho entire
Plnslc region threatened, necessitating tha
Germans' withdrawal.
The Russians apparently do ont lack am
munition. Printed on tho cartridge cases
are tho phrases:
"Don't spare bullets; don't spare cour
age. There's enough, a-picnty for all."
Cossacks from the Don and the Urals,
fresh young giants from Siberia nnd else
where, are fighting like gamecocks, striv
ing to outdo each other In daredevil
charges. Tha quarrel with tho Germans
la now personal, owing to the Germans'
use of liquid fire and gas. Consequently
fewer Germnn prisoners are taken In pro
portion to the number of dead on the field.
Russian oflUiers appear satisfied not only
with the situation on the Russian front.
but with the spirit of" the troops, which,,
they declare, was never higher.

Charity Ready to Prevent Repe
tition of Tragedy Which
Marked Effort to Relieve
Children's Distress
SACRIFICE AVOIDABLE
Charity authorities said today that there
would bo no excuso for a repetition of such
nn nwful tragedy as last week befel Mrs.
Dorsey Knslowswy, killed whllo trying to

Plno street below 4th, ortlclnls said today
that tho quest of Mrs. Zaslowsky for Ice by
which sho met her death Whs duo to a do
plorablo Ignorance of where to go rather
than nny lack of means of furnishing her
what sho wanted.
The society and tho x-nrlons settlement
houses exist for tho very purpose of reliev
ing Just sucli distress. Whllo they havo no
so-called Ice fund, they havo provisions with
which to meet theso cases In need.
Mrs, Znslowsky met her death at 413
South Perth street, which Is right next to
where she lived, nnd which Is probably tho
reason she went there! her children needed
her nttcntlon too badly for her to lcavo
homo for any considerable tlmo. But tho
Starr Centre, at Jth and Lombard, a baro
two minutes' ,wnlk from her home, would
gladly havo attended to her wants If sho
had only applied there. v
Thero are many such places besides tho
Society for Organizing Charity, which Is

tho request comes from.
Following Is n list of places whero" moth
ors who need Ico for their famlllas may

a tragic fato as befel Mrs. Zaslowsky, or.
what Is almost as bad, to avoid being with
