Concerted Attack on Wilma and
Dvinsk Next Big German
Effort.
RUSSIANS LINES HAMMERED
From the Baltic to Rumanian
Border Heavy Battles Are
Being Fought.

London, Sept. 13.-The next big
German effort, it is believed here,
will be made against Wilma and
Dvinsk. Already the Teutonic arm.
les are hammering savagely at the
Russian lines west of Dvinsk.
There is no warning in the heavy
battles being fought along the east
ern front, now stretching from Riga,
on the Baltic, to the Rumanian,
border. From Riga southwark to
the Galician border the Germans and
Austrians, who are receiving rein
forcements and munitions by rail-
way to the Dvina and to the main
trunk of the important railway lines.
The Russians continue desperate
resistance. The Austro. German Of
fensive, however, is making slow
but steady Roadway, particularly
along the road to Slonim and Pinsk..
Elsewhere the German Official re-
ports daily recount the capture of a
few thousand prisoners with machine
guns.
Every days delay is giving the
Russians breathing space. to make
preparations for greater resistance
on chosen lines protected by marsh
es and swollen rivers.
The Russians are increasing their
activities in the Caucasus, and it is
believed the arrival of Grand Duke
Nicholas will be the signal for oper-
atoms that will lessen the burden
of the allies trying to force the OAR
danelles. No report has been re-
ceived from the Gallipoli front for
upward of week, from the allies,
although it is apparent from Turk
ish reports that there has been con-
siderable fighting.
Diplomats still keenly await the
outcome of the Balkan negotiations.
1t is said Serbia has agreed to cede
Macedonia to Bulgaria if Bulgaria
joins the allies. and that Bulgaria
has agreed, in ease of victory for the
allies, Serbia shall have Bosnia,
Da malta, Croatia and Slavonia.

There's 100000 per cent

In the spring he bought one

From this he raised six bushels
Of corn, each ear about foot

NO more than $50 grains. There
