With an apparent Improvement of

front there are renewed expressions
of confidence In the allied countries.

uing TO drive the Germans back from
Riga and west of Dvinsk and still are
keeping them away from the fortress
of Kovno Although the Austro-Ger
mans continue their victorious adj
vance in the center ana southwest,
the absence from of1iciaI reports Of
any mention of the capture of guns
or munitions, indicates that the tsSns
and positions, which &c being occu-
pied by the invaders ali are evacuated
before their arrival.

Vieprz and the Bug after having Been
delayed for several days by Russian
counter attacks. which finally over
came his cavalry, once before driven
back twenty miles from VIaGova on

The only important Development on
the western front is the German claim
of another local success IN the Ar

declares all attacks were repulsed.
