Today's official German. communica- tion contains the announcement that the Russian forces which captured | Memel, at the northern end of East Prussia, have been driven back and that German troops pursuing them Russian town of Krottingen. No con- firmation of this report has been re- celved from Russian sources. The Russians are still on the of- fensive in northern Poland, but so far as the day's despatches show their attacks have been attended by no im- portant results. The German war of- office asserts that the Russians have been driven back in every instance. Aviators Bombard Towns.

Italy Preparing Rapidly. Ttaly is preparing rapidiy for what- ever may result from the negotia- tions with Austria, now reported as having reached an important stage. A royal decree is soon to be signed establishing rules designed to suppress spies. Women are to be put to work in the places of men in case of mobilization of the army.

Berlin | riewspapers do not believe.the Russian vietory will be of great influence on the campaign as a whole, although the fall of the city is described as “A painful blow to the Austro-German right wing.” Unfavorable weather still prevailed at the Dardanelles yesterday and no further attacks on the Turkish fortifi- cations were attempted. The war- ships of the allied fleet did not leave their anchorages. $ Russian Advance London, March 23, 12:03 p. m.— The fall of Prezemysl is character- jzed here as the throwing down of the last bar of the gateway into Hun- and in England an early Rus- sian advance in that direction is an- ticipated. The German press, which has warm praise for the gallantry of Anticipated. gary, * the defenders of this Galician fortress, 5 does not attempt to minimize the effects of its surrender and expresses uneasiness concerning the result on the long eastern battle front of the Teutonic allies, The latest authentic' information from the Dardanelles sets forth pos- itively that only the secondary de- fenders of the straits' have suffered from the bombardment of the allied fieet; the forts in the narrows are intact. This report finds confirmation in the present status of the diploma- tic situation in the near east which jndicates that the Balkan states are no nearer intervention in the quarrel than they were when the battleships of the allies first appeared off the Dardanelles. In spite of the optimis- tic tone of the Greek press it is not generally belleved in London that the entente powers have made any further advances to the new Greek cabinef, while in Grecian circles there is grow- ing a feeling that Bulgaria may again assert her primacy in Balkan affairs by taking the first step toward active pnnicipation in the struggle.

The Vossische - Zeitung says the fort’s fall releases the beleaguering army but while it is not known where it will be employed, the Austrians un- doubtedly are informed and will take the necessary steps. “While we thoroughly agree with the view of the Austrian general staff that the fall of Przemsyl can’ have no influence on the general situation,” says the Kreuz Zeitung, *we neverthe- less are honest enough to admit it is a painful blow dealt our cause on the right wing of our mutual thousand kilometre front.” Events Preceding Sortie. Petrograd, via London, March 23, 8:21 a. m.—Events which preceded the final desperate sortie of the be- leaguered garrison in the Austrian fortress of Przemysl, designed to break through the encircling ring of Russian troops, are described in nan official communication issued here last night. The statement say- “During the last days before m.— the |_pendent means. the crme n each case being mitted shortly after he had Each of these women w com- mar- ried them. s found dead’in her bath; consequently the case has come to be known as the “Brides in Baths ecase.” Smith has described himself as a man of Wdes According to the ev- idence of Scétland Yard, which has been inquiring into the deaths: of these women, Smith made use of vari- ous fictitious names in his matrimon- ial ventures. The women he married were found dead a few days after the ceremony. Verdicts of acidental deaths were returned, but now certain of the bodies have been exhumed with the result that the charges of murdecr have been preferred. The. public prosecutor gave names of three women, dates of the alleged murders as Beatrice Mundy, July, 1912; Alice Burnham, December 1913, and Margaret Lofty December, 1914. Smith, according to the police, was born in London, the son of an insur- ance agent, and is forty-five years of age. Smith was married, according to the evidence given at a preliminary hearing, under the name of John Lloyd, to Margaret Elizabeth Lofty, at a registry office at Bath in December, 1914. The couple came to London the same day, and the next morning the bride was found dead in her bath, her husband’ calling in a doctor who reported ‘the matter, as a result of which an inquest was held. The jury brought in a verdict of accidental | troops that final sortie the garrison received creased rations, Each soldier given biscuits to last five days, new clothing and new boots. were instructed to explain if they returned to the fortress an inglorious fate awaited them, and. consequently they must pierce the Russian front at any cost. Easterly Direction Chosen. ““An easterly direction was chosen | for the sortie, as the line of least re- sistance as well .as because it led to, the district where the Russians had | Jarge stores of arms and ammunition. More than 20,000 men were ordered to participate in the sortie, but sev- eral units refused to move despite the urgings of the commanders. Only the 23rd Honved division and some parts of the 85th Landwehr and Fourth Hussars took an active part, They were promptly and decisively defeat- ed. “An official Austrian communica- tion states that the garrison returned to Przemysl because it encountered overwhelming Russian forces. In this connection it should be noted that the Russian forces near Przemysl never were large, and the great sortie was repulsed principally by territorial troops and reserves. The total num- ber of the captured garrison exceed- ed Russian expectations.” Gen. Kusmanck's Orders. Following is the text of an order is- sued by Gen, Kusmanek to the gar- rison of the fortress on March 18, tae + day before the sortie: in- was warm, Officers to the i or the owners, death. In February, information having reached the police that Lloyd was not the husband’'s name he was arrested and identified, the - police say as George Joseph Smith, who in Novem- ber, 1913, had married at Portsmouth Miss Alice Burnham, who a month later also had been found dead in her bath. In this case, too, the coroner’s jury brought in a verdict of accidental death. The police also have had the body | of another woman exhumed. This ! woman, who also died in her bath shortly after her marriage at Herne Bay, was married to a man who gave the name of Henry Williams and who is belleved by the police to be George Joseph Smith. * ‘Soldiers: For half a year wo children of almost all nationalities of the beloved fatherland have been in- cessantly opposing the enemy.
