HOLDING DV|NsK FRONT,
DESPITE FIERCE ATTACKS
Morale Of Russians Unimpaired. and
They Fight in Usual Stubborn
Manner.
oUTNUMBERED By GERMANS
However, Fate of City and Whole
Line Along Dwina River Is Unde-
cided-Nature Of Country Is Ideal
One for Defense.

LONDON. September 2o.-The Times
to-day publishes the following from
correspondent with the Russian
forces. sent on Saturday from Dvinsk:
Il spent three days on this front.
where terrific battle is raging al
most increasingly. When attacks die
away at one place they begin instantly
at another. The nearest front Is only
twelve miles from Dvinsk, whose de-
serted streets resound with the de-
donations of heavy gun fire.
The Russians are holding the
Dvinsk front in an excellent line of
slant fierce attacks, supported by con-
centrations of heavy artillery. they
have held the enemy off thus far.
Many times the first line has been
taken by the enemy, then retelcn by
cur counterattacks. The Germans are
twice or thrice our strength. and have
enormous superiority in guns, as al
ways, but hitherto they have gained
10 decisive advantage, each of their
attempts being paid for with heavy
loss of life.
FATE OF LINE ALONG
D"ISA IS UNDECIDED
Il find the morale of the Russians
unimpaired. They are fighting in the
same stubborn. determined manner,
while the situation as regards the sup
ply of ammunition and rifles is ma
terially improving, and the fate of
Dvinsk and the whole line along the
Dwina River is undecided
The capture of the city will be
effected only by heavy sacrifices. In
IN n irD1n
evacuated in the same orderly manner
seen at Warsaw, and il the Russians
ultimately leave. the Germans will oc :,
cupy the same empty shell as in their
former victories.
The nature of the country here is
ideal for defense, and undoubtedly the
Germans are paying two for one in
losses. IT is not apparent why tho
Germans attach SO much Importance to
this sector. but II they are willing to
pay the price they possibly can take
II.
RUSSIAN DEFENSE IS
IMPROVING EACH WEEK
"A largo proportion OF the populn-
ton Of Dvinsk has fed. The evacua-
ton was started by the German habit
OF dropping bombs, which killed many
civilians.
Tho character OF the Russian de-
Tense is improving every week. ana
II the outside world thinks the Ger
mans are driving this army before
them. 1t makes a gross mistake. II
the Riga and Dvinsk sectors are tvpi
cal of Russian rear-guard operations,
their nature is such as should cause
more depression among the Germans
than among the Russians ana with
winter approaching and no importan,
objective attainable befor the season
changes, l believe the German COM
manders must now recognize a grow
ing anxiety"
