area In which tho Teutons hare been carry

Tho Germans hare continued to fall
back toward C'ambral, St. Qucntln, Latere
and I.aon desperately pursued by British
and French cavalry and Infantry. Fighting
has been In progress over a front nearly
100 miles long.
As the Anglo-Fiench soldiers moved for
ward In pursuit of their foes they passed
through a devastated country which showed
all the horrors of war. Railroads and high
ways wcro ilcstroyed. bridges wcro blown
up, fields were plowed ny inuncs nu
trenches, orchards were unrooted, towns
and villages had been blasted to hits by
artillery lire or burned Mid the country

About' 200 towns, villages and hamlets
have been recaptured b tho Allies In their

Tho Germans have lccn compelled to give

belief that tho Teutons Intend to fall back

regime. WASHINGTON, .March 20.
The United States Government is
preparing to recognize the new rule es
tablished by the Russian revolution, it
was learned today. As soon as the new
Russian regime definitely formulates
itself the United States will send greet
ings. PKTROGItAn, .March 20.
"The provisional Government which to
day holds Russla'H destiny In Its hands
wilt use every energy with the milmous
consent of tho nation and will meet a
speedy victory," declared Foreign Minister
Mlllukoff today. He continued:
Russia overturned. In a few houin a
power detested by everybody. This
feeble but tyrannical power, which was
lucupable of obtaining food for the
people or of organizing for tho future,
and which failed to uso all the coun
try's strength to vanquish tho enemy
now occupying our territory, no longer
exists.
The problems now confronting Russia
are Immense. She will have to rebuild
the whole political edifice, and In so
doing she will enormously strengthen
her moral forces to organize and obtain
a victory.
Without waiting for tho end of the war,
however, members of the now provisional
Government are going ahead with their
nlans for national reforms ot tho moht
sweeping character.
Agitation has sprung up here In favor of
votes for women, In view of the critical
period through which Russia Is passing it
is considered a certainty that tho Govern
ment will not consider such a radical step
at this time. There arc d number of women
