CRITICAL POINT IN
RUSSIAN LINES.
Have Taken Fortified Bridge
Head at Lennewada on
Dvina River.
PETROGRAD rs NOW
GERMAN OBJECTIVE
Taking Pass, Germans Could
Command Riga Gulf and
I Shorten March.
81 AssocIATEp PRES.

London, Sept. Germans claim
today they carried by assault the
fortified bridgehead at Lennewada on
the Dvina river, between Friedrich
stadt and Rica. This is considered
the most critical point in the whole
Russian line, because if the Germans
cross the Dvina, the Russians will be
compelled to evacuate Riga and all
positions between the Dvina, and even
southwest Wilma win be jeopardized.
Germans, however. don't claim yet
10 have crossed the river Military
critics believe Russians will make a
stubborn defense and say if they
should fail here, the German fleet
probably would gain command of the
Riga gulf, and by landing troops at
Pernau would shorten considerably
the march to Petrograd, which is I'M
derstood to be the ultimate German
objective.
In view of the Importance Of the
fighting in lower Dvina, interest is
lost ia battles elsewhere. Grodno,
