London, Sept %. 11.40 A. M,-The
strongly fortified Russian city of
Dvinsk. on the Dvina, 40 miles
southeast of Riga has become the new
German objective now that the Rus
sian armies apparently have escaped
from the Wilma net. The German
forces east and southeast of Ida are
making more rapid progress, but their
increased speed at this time is ex-
pected to gain them little in view of
the fact that the safe retreat for the
greater part of the Russian forces
now seems to be assured.
The chief success of the Germans in
the last day or two has been along the
Dvina front, which bars the road to
Petrograd. Southwest Of Dvinsk the
invaders captured Russian trenches on
a front of nearly two miles, taking
1000 prisoners and eight machine
guns Further down the river, near

held to establish a provisional gov
eminent regardless Of Carranza's re-
fusal to participate. He says that
Carranza. next to Huerta, is the most

that, if recognized. he would prove his

Cara describes the military situa-
ton as deadlock between the OPP

claim to control the greater part Of
Mexican territory. Carranza's delay in
removing to Mexico City, Cara as
