Russian Army Advances In Volhynia;
In Recert Fighting 13,000 Prisoners
Were Taken, Petrograd Reports.
German second line positions north-
west of Bazentin-le-Petit wood have
been captured by the British in a
stormy attack, the Lenden war office
announced on Tuesday. The positions
captured, in what the statement char
acterizes as “a further important suc-
cess,” extended over a front of 1,500
yards. :
A strongly held position at Water-
lot farm, east of Longueval, also was
captured by the Bri.ish, while the re-
maining strongholds of the Germans
in‘Ovillers and La Boiselle also were
taken. Gor :

Troops also are being frushed from
Alpine and Marfa to the border as a
result of repeated warnings that
bandits are advancing to the Rio
Grande to raid this exposed part of
Texas, :

the district across the river, which

The story of “Philippine 1903,” meat
ibeing issued to soldiers along the
border is characterized by department
officers as “sensational tales.” They
declare no reports have come to

bad meat. “The food semved to the
army now is fresh,” they declare.
“We are urging hurry orders on the
packers. If soldiers had been injured
by spoiled meat we would have heard
of it, sure.”
Col. Harry L. Rogers, chief quarter-
master of the Southern Department,
said that the army is short on noth-
Ing except tent cots. These, he said
are not kept in stock and some time
is required to fill an order for 100,000
or so. Cots are being rushed to the
border by thousands.
There are 57,00 pairs of army shoes
