Russians Eleated by Successes.

fianked and are being hard pressed
by the Germans, the Russians are
still holding these positions, and ac-
cording to war office advices, there
is no immediate need for their
abandonment. Dvinsk is regarded as
the stronger position, because of its
protection by the Dvina river. Nei-
ther point has further strategic i'm
portance.
Russian successes in the vicinity of
Tarnopol in Galicia are causing ella
tion in army circles and among the
people generally, but it is pointed
out that they will not operate to be-
tray the army into pushing incau-
tiouSly into the Teutonic allies. AS
an example of the tactics being fol-
lowed there is cited the Russian ac-
ton northeast Of Dubno, where, after
raiding Austrian positions and cap
turing 100 prisoners, the Russians
voluntarily retired.
The line in the southwest is re-
garded as the more secure since it is
guaranteed against a turning move
ment, one flank resting on the Rou-
manian frontier and the other on eX-
tensive marshes along the Pripet
river.
