minent. Official announcement was made
today by the Russian war office that
the Germans OF Field Marshal Won Hin
denburg's army have fought their way
to the Novo Wileisk- k-Molodetschna rail-
way, east of Wilma. This shows that the
German circle has been drawn more than
three-quarters around the city.
Dawgelischki sixty-two miles northeast
of wilma. has been captured by the Ger
man forces that crossed the Wilma
Petrograd railway. II is officially ad-
mitted that the Germans are advancing
toward Pinsk along the kobrin-Pinsk
railway.
In northeastern Galicia the Russian Of
fensive continues successfully.
The war office announces the capture
of more than 9,752 officers and men in
the recent operations.

The enemy has retained possession OF
Dawgelischki and has reached the Novo
