pany of New York, the Elliott Prog
and Switch company of East St.
Liouls, 111.- and ! for the Denver and
Rio Grande with the court In cham

Russian Army
IN BAD SHAPE
Men Inexperienced and Un

Held Impossible
, PETROGRAO, Jan. 24. Major-
General Boneh-Bruevitch. chief of
staff at the Russian front, paints a
gloomy picture of the condition of
the Russian armies in a report to
Ensign Krylenko. the commander-i I
chief. The army organisations are
utterly demoralized, he says, the of
ficers , are Inexperienced and the
maintenance of discipline is impossi
ble. The only possible salvation for
the army, the only chance fev offer
ing an effective resistance. Tie de
clares, is for the varMis sections of
the army fb fall back to their natural
defenses and .undergo thorough re
organization s - of the - units under
tra'nM leaders., -.-
THany parts oft the western front
are entirely open. General Bonch
Bruevitcn - reports, at numeroos
places there being only 240 infantry
men to the mile. The reserves are
refusing to t relieve the men in the
trenches and the soldiers are deserv
ing in masses. Communications are
broken and-few .horses are available.
The wire entanglements hae been de
stroyed to facilitate fraternizing and
the exchange of commodities with
the German, armies. At many, points,
adds the . chief, of staff, fortified
points har? been destroyed, making
resistance utterly Impossible on the
lines as at present located, even with
good troops. Various branches of
the Staffs must soon cea3 work, he
declared, because of the disordered
conditions and the economic life of
he army will thus be ruined.
