Petrograd, Sept 1-Strongly re-

Along the rest Of the front the
Germans claim to he making headway
although some who got through th'
forest region of Bialystok have snf-
fered reverse at the hands of tho
Russian rearguard.
The point of most interest, how
ever, are at the two wings. The Ger

east of Riga, and military expert
,ere say that unless the Russians can
dispose considerable force so as tt
threaten the Tcutonic flank 1t ap.
pears improbable that FriedrichStad
can be held much longer. The threat
against the outer wing is not Sc
serious, as it is more distant and tho
difficulties Of the country are toe
great for rapid advance.
In the west the French continue
artillery attacks, but there is no evl
dence of a general offensive.
