Continued From First Page.

Continued From First Page.
General Won Eichhorn threw several
regiments.
The big guns we're rushed up to this
new position and opened a violent fire
upon the principal forts defending
Kovno from the west, including the
three located at the confluence of the
Niemen and the Viliya rivers. In
fantry assaults continued throughout
the day and although reports reached
Berlin yesterday that all the forts had
been taken it was not until last night
that the Slavs finally surrendered the
city.
The Russian garrison is retreating
over the railway to wilma.
Kovno was the stronghold that
barred the German advance on wilma
on the Warsaw-P -Petrograd railway,
the immediate objective of Won Hin
denburg's drive in the north. wilma
lies 57 miles east of Kovno and
without adequate fortihcations it is
not believed possible by the German
military men that it can resist cap
ture by Won Hindenburg's armies.
The capture of wilma and with it
the important railways radiating
throughout Northwest Russia is ex-
pected within a fortnight. The civ
ilian population began evacuating
the city ten days ago.
Kovno is the capital OF the Russian
government of the same name. and lies
$50 miles southeast of Petrograd. II
was founded in the eleventh century anJ
has a population of $4,000. The princi
pal industries are metal factories pro
ducing wire. machinery and nails
Kovno is also an important distributing
center for trade between East Prussi'
and Western Russia.
