Clearing Way to PetrOgrad.

Berlin, via The Hague, Sept. 21.-Tne
outer defenses of Dvinsk, blocking the
German way to Petrograd, have been
under heavy attack from German ar
tillery for a day and half.
Civilians have evacuated it, in fear
that soon the mighty Teuton machine
will crash down upon it, as it has done
with every town in its path. The strug.
gle for the the bridge1ead before the
city is about to begin.
Only meagre reports come from the
wilma region, where two big German
armies have set human trap for the
fleeing Slavs.
Reports from Field Marshal Won Hin

forces aroused enthusiasm here, but no
official indications bf how the envelop

slavs Battle for Life.

London, Sept. 21.-Tuge forces of
Slavs are battling for their lives in
the most dangerous trap they have yet
faced.
The Petrograd official statement, rej
eeived here early today, admitted that
the Russians mad retired eastward in
the wilma region and admitted that
everywhere the Austro. Germans are
giving them most desperate struggle.
The Teuton armies on both flanks
are endeavoring to close the trap and
all reports agree that there is strong
prospect that they will succeed.
The statement told of bitter battling
about Dvinsk and elsewhere.
The German forces, in the opinion of
military experts, are planning one
mighty smash to ehvelop the fleeing
armies, to be followed by drive for
Dvinsk, where they would be in excel
lent strategic position for operations
against both Riga and Petrograd.
The Berlin official statement noted
progress in the enveloping movement
and indicated that the Russian retreat
was proceeding further to the south in
the wilma region.
Operations about K bridge
head and the Riga region are proceed
ing furiously.
