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.

RESTRICT THE PORTO RICANS 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 officers, and then, In no particular for mation, come 'the troops, some on one "in or uie row ana some on me otner. Toward the rear they straggle off In dwindling1 streams, wandering- about the Held, and nloddlnc here antt thsro lni as though each was off on an Ir.dlvldual tour. "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 clese formation or a company strung out Most armlea march In aolld masses which can be seen and estimated accurately from a great distance. "The more one sees of the Individual of the Russian army the more one comes to like the common soldier here. He Is the meet good-natured, child-like, play ful persoa la the world, and In the month I have been with the army I have not seen any disorder. On the road and n the camp, all seem contented and happy aa Ions; as the weather is fine. It must be admitted they took a little dismal In the rata." Washington. jUn, u Nonpartisai 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 tout ts. DEATH RECORD t'olnael UlaUmand Mllkowell. GKNBVA (via Tarlsl.

It was then noticed that the sails of a dilapidated windmill moved In an un accountable way, since there was not a breath of wind and five men were sent to investigate. As soon ss they reached the building a man Jumped from the window and fled towards the German lines, but he was soon brought down by a French bullet. At noon the French guns opened and at the same time an aviator announced that tho German center had been weak ened because the Germans were obliged to rend help to the left wing, which was hard pressed In the LePretrle wood. After hours of shelling the German guns were put out of action and the French Infantrymen dashed forward. The enemy unmasked quick flrers. but their assailants were well Into their stride and did not heed the fir. llanit-to-Haad Straarsle. A fierce hand-to-hand struggle followed a'long tho edge of the wood and the Oer mans were forced back on V the mussles of the own quick flrers. which pumped lo:id into them for ten minutes, an error which enabled the French engineers to reach the principal work and blow It up, as well as the treacherous windmill.
