Yanussevich, formerly chief of the

CAPT. H. L. RIDER
drew a graphic description of the ter
rible position of (he Russian army
when it suddenly found itself almost
completely without shells or rifles.
Urgent demands by the hundreds,
he said, were sent to Soukhominoff,
but all were answered simply with
reassuring promises and nothing was
done. Russian soldiers perished in
masses, and in view of the utter im
possibility of resisting the enemy,
fled to the interior of the country.
Knowing that the Russians were with
out ammunition the Germans fre
quently brought up guns close to the
Russian positions and bombarded at
close range, working terrible havoc.
Testifying in answer to this, Souk
hominoff said that while Germany
had been preparing for war forty
years, Russia had done virtually
nothing in that time to meet such an
eventuality.
