 AIT DVINSK

LONDON, Sept. 17.-With s,OOO,0O0 territorial reseryists entering the field Russia is still standing rigid be- fore Dvinsk on the Dvina river, the fortress which is the supposed cli- max of the German ambitions in their invasion of Russia. Along the en- tire eastern front, from the Dylna to the extreme southeastern section of Galicia battles are raging, the Ger man advance pushing slowly but sure ly in the north and center
 Where the Austrians are retreating in tue south across the Stryj in Gen. tral Galicia the Czar's forces are driv- ing steadily ahead.
 Having the Pripet marshes, Gener- al von Mackensen now occupies a val uable position at the juncture of two important canals at Pinsk, and con- trols the railroad for several miles east of Brest.
 It is the opinion of military ex. perts here that if the Teutons are en- abled to carry their drive on into Russian territory and beyond the Pinsk and Rovno they will probably swerve southward in an effort to sur prise the successful Russian forces in Galicia.

 Thanks to their superior strength, the Allies are now able to take the initiative while the heroic Russians gain a period for reorganization. It is imperative that the Western Al- lies open an offensive which will drawn from the east 20 German divis. ions.

The internal sit- uation, though good is no longer SO brilliant as it was even after the fall of Lemberg."
