London. Sept. 15.-The Russians are
making counter attacks along the en-
tire front and the German advance has
rs result been retarded greatly. In
Courland the invader Is making little
progress, in the Stye and PrIpet regions
the Cars forces are attacking, Aus
trIa admits, and IN the South con-
tinued Russian assaults are recorded.
Field Marshal won Hndenburg's drive
toward the Dvinsk-Nilna railway is not
progressing as fast as his previous en-
terprises Of a similar kind have done,
and except at one or two points about
midway between these towns, where
his cavalry have cut the railway, he is
still being stubbornly opposed by the
Russians.
Won Hindenburg, however, has
reached point west Of the bridgehead
across from the town of Dvinsk and is
preparing TO attack that fortified area.
Along the rest of the line the Ger
man advance has also slowed up. while
IN Gahcia the Russians are still attack
ing, and, according TO unofficial re-
ports from Bucharest and other points,
the tro-German armies are falling
back across the DnieSter River. Just
north of the Galician border the Rus
SLAMS also are on the offensive and are
making an attempt TO recspture the
fortress of Dubno, which the Austrians
took last week.
This offensive in the south, it is be-
lieved, will have an effect on the rest
of the front, as reinforcements must
soon be sent there, or the Teutonic AL
lies will run the danger of being out
hanked.
