FIGHTING RUSS

PETRoGRAD, Sept. 2s.-Heavy
snowstorms are raging north OF the
Gulf Of Finland, and are rapidly sweep.
ing southwark. snow flurries bringing
the first touch Of winter to the Baltic
provinces. The approach Of winter Is
expected to hasten the climax Of the
German attack on Dvinsk within q
short time.
Emperor William has ordered Field
Marshal Won Hindenburg to take
Dvinsk this week and then march on
Riga in order that these two impor-
tant cities may be used as winter quar-
ters for the Germans, according to
statements made by Teuton prisoners
to Russian officers.
The resumption of the fierce Ger
man attacks on the Dvina river front
is attributed to the kaiser's instruc.
tions. Petrograd military experts an
alyze the situation thus:
The allies offensive in the west has
made 1t necessary to transfer large
German forces to France and Flan-
ders. To replace these veterans land
sturm troops have been sent east
The exchange has weakened Won Hin
denburg, but he hopes by a general
assault along the entire Dvina front
to sweep across that stream. The con-
ditions under which this assault is be-
ing made make 10 certain that the Ger
mans will suffer terrible losses before
they take Dvinsk.
Recent set.backs suffered by the
Russians on their left wing have cost
them much OF the ground they re-
gained In Volhynia when they defeated
the Russians in the Lutsk-Dubno-
Rovo triangle Of fortresses. German
reinforcements sent to the aid of the
Austrians have helped the latter re-
capture positions in the Lutsk region
and to advance along the left bank of
the Styr river in the direction Of
Kolki. q fortified town which serves
as one of the defenses Of Rovno.

OF LOAN
MADE BY ALLIES
WITH FINANCIERS

NEW YORK, Sept. 2S.-Tentative
terms agreed upon for the proposed
Anglo-French loan, which 1t was said
might be made public tonight in Chi.
cago after a dinner to the Anglo.
French commissioners, were reported
today In Wall street to be as follows !:
Amount-$50O. 200. 900.
Interest Rate-Five per cent.
Price to Public-9S.
England and France proposed to
give their joint note for the amount,
payable at the end of five years, at
which time the note may be converted
into. ~ per cent government bonds
to run fifteen years. II not redeemed
in fifteen years the time may be ex.
tended to twenty-five years.
Belief was expressed in financial cir.
cles. that the commissioners have ar.
guments to present to the western
bankers by which they are confident
that all western opposition can be ov-
ercome. The nature Of these argu.
ments have not been divulged.
Many persons In Wall street ex-
pressed surprise at the tentative terms
as 1t had been believed that the east
ern bankers, headed by J. p. Morgan.
would hold out for. 5h per cent
One of the obstacles that developed
while the commissioners were nego-
tiating was the backwardness Of capi-
talists, who declare they could earn
bigger profit by investigating their
money in sound American securities
than they could by buying British and
French notes yielding per cent or q
little more.
The commissioners are expected to
return from New York Friday or Sat
urday.

GERMANS ADMIT LOSSES
But Minimize DAMAGE
and CLAIM DRIVE FAILS

because Of the ferocity Of the fighting.
However 1t Is considered hero that
the British and French military autho-
tiles exaggerated when they claimed
10000 German prisoners.
Dispatches from the front show that
the Germans were not taken by sur
prise. They were given warning Of
the drive by the intense artillery prep
arations which stretched over many
days. The Germans thus had time to
strengthen the weak places In their
lines with re-enforcements and more
defensive work.
German guns all along the front are
replying to the allies bombardment
