THE SCENE AT PRZASNYSZ. REMARKABLE GERMAN RUSE. MAXIMS IN EVERY HOUSE. (Received 10.45 a.m.) Petrograd, March 8. The Russians on entering Przasnysz discovered that all the men between fifteen and sixty had been carried off by the Germans, and many of the peasants had been dressed in uniforsm and placed in the trenches as a ruse to make the Russians believe the Germans still occupied the enemy’s breastworks. An extraordinary sight consisted of furniture, sofas, beds, and boxes filled with sand and stones. Princess Voroniecka’s mansions in the vicinity of Przasnysz were taken and retaken four times. Five thousand Russians occupied the estate after the last assault. Maxims were in every house, and a murderous rain of hand grenades was dropped on the Prussians.
