The Russian aeneral ataff has ascer
tained, army officers say, that the Ger
mans are preparing for an offensive
rampatgn from the extreme northern
frontier down to the river Plllca, where
the Austrlans likewise have not dimin
ished their force.
The supposition that the tSerfjians are
making use of dilatory tactics Employed
In the western war theater where there
virtually has been no advance on either
side, ia not shared by military authori
ties as they maintain the Germans must
advanc or foil before the spring months
render the roads impassable.

Russian Soldiers
On the March Are
An Informal Body
.(Correspondence of the Associated Press.)
M3NDON, Dec. 10 A letter from War
saw says that in marching Russian sol
diers present an odd picture.
"The Russian regiments on tUit march
are the most' informal organisations In
the world," It Bays. "Ahead ride a few

"For miles alter a regiment has passed
one sees little groups trudging along, ap
parently perfectly contented and without
a worry in the world. Yet at night they
ri appear for rations, and In the morn
ing start off again In a solid formation.
"I am told that this method of march
in has proved a great puszle to the Ger
man airmen in trying to estimate the
numbers of troops that are moving. When
the columns are so strung out. It Is
almost Impossible from any height to tell
whether what one sees is a battalion in

"The more one sees of the Individual

Judicial reforms to speed up Justice and
reduce tho cost bills is promised by sen
ators before congress adjourned. The
house has alteady agreed to the reform
measures and they have bceif favorably
reported to tho senate by the Judiciary
committee. Flare rrel3ent Wilson's
siwecb at Indianapolis referring to Judi
cial procedure in the United States as
being behind ev-.-ry. other civilised coun
try, democratic senators predict the bills
will pan the senate without debate.
The reforms aim to restrict the number
of cases which nisy reach the supreme
court with a view of enabling that court
to keep abreast with current business and
to simplify procedure in the federal dls
trlct courts and the circuit courts of ap
peals. All these were initiated by the
American liar association.
Chief Justice White entertains an ambi
tion to have the supreme court clear up
its docket each year before adjourning
for the summer. Tho court has volun
tarily lengthened Ita session, but cases
have been piling up on the court faster
tha-i it . could deride them. The bills
Would further the chief Justice's plan by
restricting the avenues of getting to the
court.
lUaay Porto Hlraa t ears.
Probably more cases have come to the
supreme court each year from Porto
Klco then front all New England com
bined. The bills would substitute for the
right of appeal to tho supreme court from
tho federal dlstilet in Porto Rico the
right of appeal to tho circuit court of
appeals in New England.
The bills would also restrict the Porto
Rlcan cases before the court by provid
ing that cases of local or federal law
decided by t'ia Porto Rlcan supreme
court cannot he brought to the supreme
court unless the latter first gives per
mission. At present all such cases, as
well as those involving federal questions,
may be appealed to the t'nlted States
supreme court. The iamo limitation would
be placed on cases from the Hawaiian
supreme court. Members of the Honelulvi
bar have asked time to forward an objec
tion to this reform.
Decisions of circuit court of appeals in
all trade mark and bankruptcy cases
would be final, exoept where the supreme
court grants permission for such 'cases
to be brought, to It for review. Railroad
cori 'orations' with a federal charter would
not be able to appeal-to the court merely
because it was a federal corporation.
Plfforeiit ' rights now exist In all these
cases. .
Some 9egaested Reforms.
Among reforms in the lower federal
courts would be these:
( torreciions permuted in nuns suits in
l law cr In equity at any stare of pro
ceedings. i
Defects and at any stage In original
allegations as to diversity of citizenship,
where jurisdiction is based' upon that
tart atcne. f '
Prohibition in setting aside Judgments
or decrees on unsubstantial errors.
Ku'iitablc defenses permitted 'in law
suits without necessity of bringing new
proceedings on the 'equity side of the

the famous Italian soldier, who was killed

were most tense when General Rlcclotl
Garibaldi.', the father, his wife and chil

ago brought back from France the body
of Pruno Garibaldi, threw themselves,
weeping, upon the coffin. Italian and
French flags were then wrarped around
