GERNIANS GAIN.

BERLIN, Sept 21.-Fleld Marshal
ron Hindenburg's German army is
now within Il miles of the great Rus
sian city of Dvinsk (Dunaburg) which
is one of the chief gates guarding
Petrograd on the southwestern side.
Prince LeopOld's army has reached
and cut the railway line running from
Wilma through Ida to ROvno.
These were the two chief features
in dispatches from the eastern front
today, and they showed further i'm
portant progress on the part of the
German armies from Riga To the Pri-
pet marshes.
Dvinsk. which lies on the Dvina
(Duna) river is one of the important
thresholds through which German
armies can pour into the interior of
Russia. 1t is heavily fortified and a
big Russian army has beea massed
there by Car Nicholas.
1t is situated where the Luna river
makes a sharp curve toward the west
To the southwest lies the lake re-
gion." on the western fringe of which
is NOvo AleXandrOvsk, from which
point the Russians have retreated be-
meath the tremendous blows of Won
Hindenburg's legiOnS. NOVo AleXan-
drOVsk is less than 90 miles from
DVinsk.
Slowly but surely the army groups
Of Field Marshal Won Hindenburg and
Prince Leopold are forging a band of
steel around the Russian armies east
and southeast of wilma. while farther
south the Russians that retreated
from the Pinsk region are being pur-
sued by the forces of Field Marshal
Won Mack
A great artillery duel is in progress
south of the Pripet marshes and in
the region of DubDO and east of
Lutsk, the district known as the Vol
hynian triangle, Russian attacks are
being repulsed.
On the extreme northern end of the
line, in the sector south of Riga, the
Russians have made a strong effort to
turn the German flank, but failed.
Fighting is in progress around Ekau,
% miles south of Riga.
