FINSK. Russia, March 23. Six months
have passed since the Russian city of
Brest Litovsk was reduced to ruins by
Russian troops. The town is still giv
ing up its dead, and such of the na
tive inhabitants as remain in the re
gion occasionally communicate to the
German authorities interesting facts
relative to the pre-occupation days.
In their work of removing unsafe
walls and chimneys the Germans still
unearth charred human bones. The
work of destruction was so swiftly
done by the Russians that some of the
people were unable to escape from the
town. They fled to cellars, the fire
swept over them, and they perished.
The conflagration was not the result of
bombardment, but of the systematic
firing of the houses. Hence the town
presents an aspect unlike that of any
other destroyed city I have seen in
the war area. It is a gaunt, not a
crumpled ruin.
Walls Are Still Standing.
The walls of almost every one of the
hundreds of houses, stores and facto
ries which were burned in this city of
nearly 60.000 inhabitants still stand.
"Window panes, doors, floors, roofs, and
furniture have vanished in smoke -and
flame, but the walls seem as clean and
solid as if the building had just been
finished.
In a word, it was in every instance
m. fire set from the inside, usually by
means of cans of petroleum.
Brest Litovsk is a dead city. Except
for the activities of the German garri
son quartered in the citadel a mile and
a quarter from the town proper, and
the coming and going of troops at the
railway station, there is not a siffn
of life. Not only row upon row, but
street after street, of silent ruins con
front the beholder. Even the sparrows
have deserted the place. Only the crows
remain.
Germans at Home In Citadel.
One moonlight night I rode through
the ruins. A man would say to him
self, "I can make a picture of this."
But what was there to say. Twenty
words tell it all pale light descending
from watery clouds, silence, gaunt
walls, emptiness, and a sentry's occa
sional "War da," and the muttered re
turn of the password.
The idea of the Russians seems to
have been to make the Brest Litovsk
region impossible for occupation by
the Germans. Nothing like that hap
pened. Sixty thousand men, women and
children were driven from their homes,
a prosperous city was ruined, vital
sections of an important fortress were
.blown up. And to what end? .
The weather was warm when the
Germans closed in on Brest. ' The fire
raged and the Germans sat down in the
fields and woods around the city until
it had cooled. Then they marched in,
cleared away the bodies of human?
and horses, removed such walls as
threatened safe passage, and settled
themselves in the citadel, which had
not been destroyed and which made
comfortable quarters when once it had
been cleaned and whitewashed.
Abandonment ot Understood.
Why Brest Litovsk should have fall
en without a prolonged siege is still a
matter of argument among- German
officers. Since they occupied the town
and fortress they have had ample op
portunities to study the Russian de
fenses. The estimates of German military
experts are the authority for the state
ment that the Russians had used 15.-
000.000 running meters of barbed wire
in the entanglements which girdle the
inner forts of Brest in a circumference
of 84 kilometers (about 50 miles), and
that it required 2:! freight trains of
55 cars each to bring in that amount
of wire.
In their explorations of the country
the Germans found trains of burned
flat cars, and in the wreckage of trucks
and wheels lay cracked and melted
.field guns. Other guns dragged out of
the fortress in evacuation an evacua
tion decided upon as a result of the
fear that vast bodies of Russian troops
would be cut off were removed to
points where, no doubt, they still are
useful.
All this loss and destruction at Brest
Kives support to the assertion of a Rus
sion minister of state that the Grand
Duke Nicholas' order that towns and
forts lying in front of the German ad
vance should be destroyed has cost the
Russian empire not less than 8,000,
000.000 roubles ($4,000.000, 000). And,
again, to what end?
The Germans are in the territory and
they are comfortable. The Russian pol
icy that ruined Napoleon has not ruined
the Germans. The reason is simple,
and that reason is railroads. The Ger
mans no sooner establish themselves in
a devastated area than food, timber,
and ammunition come promptly to
them from Germany.
Rasxlan Secrets Learned.
I have spoken of secrets which such
occupied regions as Brest-Litovsk
give up to the invaders. What I mean
is this:
The local merchants and capitalists
of the occupied Russian area espe
cially it they are Jews or Poles be
come communicative when good rela
tions have been established between
them and the German invaders.
or example, according to the state
ments of these men, a commission of
rench officers was in Brest in Octo
ber. 1914, and' advised the Russians to
strengthen the defenses of the fort
dess. This was done.
Less than a year later Japanese offi
ers were in Brest-Litovsk, and they
advised the Russians to evacuate the
fortress and fall back on Pinsk. And
this was done.
The present governor of Brest, speak
ing in the labored English which he
employs as a courtesy to correspond
cnts from America, said: "And I
think dear sir that that last ad
vice was very stupid."
The usual eruption of srraft. which
few in Russia seem to mind or to con
sider a scandal, attended the evacuation
of Brest. Inhabitants making an early
departure before the btirnine of the
town was definitely decided upon were
permitted to take their furniture.
Later fugitives were not. except in
few instances where the payment of a
bribe won the favor of petty officials.

OFFICIAL WAR REPORTS
German.
BERLIN, April 1. By wireless to
Sayville, N. T. Today's official
statement from general headquarters is
as follows:
"Western front Near St. Eloi an at
tack with hand grenades by the British
was repulsed. There was fighting with
mines between La Bassee Canal and
Neuville.
"Northeast of Roye the fire, of the
French artillery was spirited. German
artillery effectively shelled positions of
the enemy on the Aisno front.
"There were violent artillery duels
in the Argonne and in the sector of the
Meuse.
"German battle air craft shot down
four French aeroplanes. Of these one
fell within -our lines near Laon and
another near Mogeville in the Woevre.
Two fell behind the enemy's lines, one
near Ville-aux-Bois and the other south
of Haucourt. The Fench aerodrome
at Rosnay, west of Rheims, was at
tacked with many bombs.
"Eastern front There were no de
velopments of importance. The Rus
sian offensive apparently ia exhausted
for the moment.
"From February 28 to March 28 the
Russians attacked large sectors of
Field Marshal von Hin'denburg's front
with 30 divisions, or more than 500,
000 men, and with such an expenditure
of munition as until now had been un
heard of on the eastern front. Thanks
to the bravery and tenacious endurance
of the German troops, the Russians
have had no success at all.
"The Russian casualties, according to
cautious calculations, were not fewer
than 140,000 men."
Austrian.
BERLIN, April 1. By wireless . to
Sayville, N. Y. The official Austrian
statement of today follows:
"Russian front Near Olika Austro
Hungarian detachments captured an
advanced position of the enemy, filled
the trenches, destroyed the defense
works and returned to their main posi
tions. Attempts by the enemy to ad
vance southeast of Sienkowce were
frustrated by our artillery and by coun
ter attacks.
"Italian front The fighting was re
sumed at several places. There were
more or less spirited artillery duels
near the Tolmino bridgehead in the
Fella sector and on the Dolomites
front. Italian attacks on the sector
between Great Pal and Small Pal and
near Schluderbach were repulsed."
British.
LONDON. April I. The following of
ficial statement on the campaign on the
western front was issued tonight:
"There was considerable activity yes
terday on both sides. Hostile artillery
was active today along the front be
tween the Hohenzollern redoubt and
Souchez. We retaliated by shelling the
enemy's positions.
"Enemy artillery was active about
Ypres. The enemy fired mines yester
day and today opposite Fricourt and
near the quarries and in the Hohenzol
lern redoubts. Little damage was done
to our trenches.
"Last night there was heavy shelling
on both sides about St. Eloi and the
enemy made three bombing: attacks
against our new positions. The at
tacks were repulsed."
French.
PARIS, April 1. The text of today's
official statement by the War Office is:
"North of the Aisne there has been
considerable activity of artillery in the
vicinity of Moulin-Sous-Touvent and
Fontenoy.
"In the Argonne we have directed a
destructive fire on the highways and
railroad lines north of Haute Che
vauchee. .
"West of the Meuse there has been
an intermittent bombardment in the
region of Malancourt, but without any
infantry engagements.
"East of the Meuse the bombardment
became exceedingly violent yesterday,
and last night between the woods south
of Haudremont and the region of Vaux.
Against the latter point the Germans
deliverel two sudden attacks in which
large numbers of men took part. The
first, from both the north and the south
at the same time, was checked by our
curtain of fire and the force of our in
fantry before it could get as far as our
lines.
"During the second attack the enemy,
after a spirited fight, was able to se
cure a footing in the western part of
the village of Vaux, occupied by our
forces.
'In the Woevre there has been some
active artillery firing against the vil
lages at the base of the heights of the
Meuse."
The text of tonight's supplementary
statement is:
"In Belgium our artillery bombarded
the enemy cantonments at Langemarck,
northeast of Ypres.
"In the Argonne our batteries were
active against the German organiza
tions north of Laharazee and La Fille
Mort and against the enemy camps in
the northern part of the Cheppy woods.
"West of the Meuse the bombardment
has been intense against our positions
between Avocourt and Malancourt.
"To the east of the Meuse a quite
violent bombardment was followed in
the course of the afternoon by a Ger
man attack on the ravine between Fort
Douaumont and the village of Vaux.
The attack was completely stopped by
our curtain of fire."
Italian.
ROME, March 31, via London April
1. The following official statement
was issued today by the war depart
ment: "In the Daone Valley, during an en
counter between small detachments on
the slopes of Mount Mellno on Wednes
day, the enemy was put to flight and
abandoned arms and munitions.
"On the Isonzo front intermittent ar
tillery actions were hampered by the
driving rain.
"Monday we took by assault about
150 meters of 'enemy fortifications.
After repulsing violent counter attacks
our soldiers resolved at any cost to
take the whole fortifications and they
succeeded. They captured many pris
oners and important booty."
Turkish.
CONSTANTINOPLE, via Copenhagen
and London, April 1. The following
official statement has been issued by
the Turkish War Office:
VIraK front There has been no
change in the Tigris region. Tn the
Euphrates region one of our detach
ments attacked an enemy detachment
seat of Maxlne and drove in southward
with losses. At the same time our
volunteers surprised the camp of the
detachment and took much booty.
"aucasus front Our troops have ad
vanced in the Tchoruk Valley and re
pulsed attacks of hostile reeonnoitering
detachments. On the rest of the front
there have been no important opera
tions. "Dardanelles An enemy cruiser
opened an ineffective fire and then re
tired. Three aeroplanes, coming from
Imbros, were driven off by the ef
fective fire of our batteries at'Yen-ikui."
Saturday's War Moves
THE Germans under the Crown Prince
made further progress toward Ver
dun yesterday, by getting a foothold in
the village of Vaux, to the northeast
of the fortress.
The aviators of both' sides on the
Franco-Belgian front have been busy.
Four French machines fell victims to
German battle aircraft in various engagements.
Berlin summarizes the recent Rus
sian offensive now apparently at a
standstill as barren of results for Em
peror Nicholas' forces, while the Rus
sian casualties are estimated by the
German headquarters staff to have
been at least 140.000. More than 500,
000 men were engaged on the Russian
side, according to Berlin, and the ex
penditure of ammunition by the at
tacking forces is declared to have been
on an unprecedented scale for the east
ern front.
If a married man ever becomes truly
irreat his wife nearly always assumes
the responsibility for It.
Th air raids of Friday night over
the- English east counties were ap
parently on the most extensive scale
yet attempted by the German Zeppel
in fleet. They resulted, according to
the official British reports, in the kill
ing of 28 persons and injury of 44,
while unofficially it it declared that the
airships flew at such a height that
they were unable to select their tar
gets with accuracy and many of the
7t bombs dropped appeared to have
been cast off indiscriminately.
The sensational feature of the raid
was the falling of a damaged Zep
pelin, the L-15, in the Thames estuary,
where it was captured by British patrol
boats, its crew surrendering. The air
ship sank, however, while an attempt
was being made to tow her in. The
dirigible was hit near the tail by gun
fire while it was over the eastern coast.

PLANE CAUGHT ON HOOK
French Aviator, 14,000 Feet in Air,
Grappled Teuton, Who Dangled
Helplessly Till Captor's En
gine Stopped, Wing Broke.
PARIS, April 1. Lieutenant Rene
Doumer, a son of Paul Doumer, ex
President of the Chamber of Deputies,
has put two German aeroplanes out of
action, although it was only three
months ago that he took up aviation.
On March 18 he engaged thre German
macnines, snooting down one ana iorc
ing another to land. A few days later
he attacked a Fokker and sent it
hurtling in flames into the German
lines.
Lieutenant Le Bourhis, the first
French military aviator to use a para
chute, is dead from wounds received in
an aerial encounter in the vicinity of
Verdun. The Lieutenant, who was a
private at the outbreak of the war, won
a commission and the Cross of the
Legion of Honor.
German Caoglit With Hook.
His best known exploit was the cap
ture of a large German aeroplane With
a grappling hook in August of last
year. He thus described this incident
in a letter to a friend:
"I had been flying for hours, drag
ging a grappling hook at the end of a
long cable behind my machine. Sud
denly a large black aeroplane with
white crosses appeared. I sent my ma
chine whirling over him. A hook got
him and he swung at the end of my line
like a toy.
"All went well for a few minutes.
Then my motor began to fail. My ma
chine rolled from one wing to the other
and then at 14,000 feet the engine
stopped altogether.
Escape 1'rom Death tn explained.
"I caught glimpses of deep trenches
and a wide river beneath me. I strug
gled furiously with the German ma
chine still balanced at the end of the
rope. I began to fall more rapidly. A
wing broke. Everything turned black.
I was failing like a stone."
When the Lieutenant regained con
sciousness he was safely on land, not
badly injured. He was unable to ex
plain the manner of his escape from
death, although he attributed it to the
probability that the cable attached to
the German aeroplane tightened as he
was falling and eased the force of the
descent.

French Captive Says Men Are
Starved Into Working.
MEDICAL MEN ARE RAPPED
Germans Declared to Have Forced
Signature to Paper Saying La
bor Is Voluntary Treatment
in Surgery Condemned.
PARIS, March 31. Henry Crosme, ex-
Secretary of the French Embassy at
Vienna and an artillery Sergeant, who
recently escaped from the prisoners'
camp at Muenster, Westphalia. Ger
many, described his experiences to the
Associated Press as follows:
"About 20 of us were taken prisoners
after our battery was destroyed, and all
of us were wounded. The first order
we got was to lie down in a buncii
when the Germans were hardly a yard
away. Using revolvers they had taken
from us, they fired into the heap, kill
ing all but six of our party of whom
I was one. When I got up I spoke a
few words of German, which saved me.
We were conveyed in cattle trucks to
Muenster.
Men Two Days Without Food.
"After two days without food we
were placed in a camp hollowed out of
the ground with 15,000 other French.
English and Russian prisoners.
"My first attempt to escape failed. I
was brought back and tied to a post
with a rope twined around me from
my neck to my feet.
"On my second attempt to escape I
got away with the help of a friend,
although we were pursued by dogs.
Near the frontier we saw what we
thought were sentries, but these turned
out to be dummies, cunningly cut out
of the hedges at short intervals.
"In the camp the rank and file were
starved into working in mines and fac
tories after signing a paper that they
were 'volunteers,' which was then
shown to neutral inspectors.
Prison Fare Meager.
"We arose from straw mattresses for
coffee at seven. The coffee was al
waysmade from roasted barley. At
ten we had the principal meal a thick
barley soup, which we called 'concrete.'
Cod once a week and pig's jowls once
a week and one small sausage once in
a fortnight.
"There was no meat whatever for
the last six months. The discipline was
not brutal or severe. Idle prisoners did
much as they liked. The chief cruelty
now is in keeping severely wounded or
legless or armless prisoners in camp
and refusing to exchange them. Per
haps this is owing to the fear of ex
posing bad surgical treatment on the
part of the German doctors."
