burgs army has at last set foot on the
Rovno Petrograd railway, between
Wilma and Dvinsk. The whole Austro-
German forces have been striving to
gain this railway since the fall of
the Polish fortress.
The offensive which began a week
ago was carried on from three direc-
tions upon Dvinsk and the railway on
either side of the town while, further
south, the invaders advanced toward
Wilma.
The Russians, before superior
forces supplied with the usual mass
of artillery, were forced back to the
lake district which the railway pene-
trates and made stand there.
simultaneously the Germans pushed
their way eastward towards Slonim
and Pinsk, both of which are on roads
which join the main railway line,
while the Austrians. with whom there
are many German units, are fighting
hard to reach Rovno, the southern
terminus of the line.
