It was stated that the Germans were trying vainly to rally their forces, which have been badly cut up in the fighting that has now been in progress without cessation for eleven days. The War Office insists the Ger- mans were led into a trap, the Rus- sians retreating for strategic pur- oees until they had reached a point previously selected and where the heavy Russian artillery was mount- ed in great strength. The Germans, flushed with their apparent success, were bombarded from all sides and literally cut to pieces, being compelled to retreat and abandon camp equipage, trans- port and guos.

When these detectives visited her rooms at No. 64 West Sixty-eighth street they found there a gown val- ued at $115 which had peen stolen from a third department store.
