London, Sept. 6.-lnterest In deVel'
opments on the eastern front centers
on two extremities of the great 9oo'
mile battle line, along the full extent
of which the Russian field army Is
In full retreat before the advancing
Austro- German forces.
In the north the fortress ana CITY
of Grodno have fallen before the
Germans. Evacuation of all the po-
sitIons on the west bank Of the Me
men by the Slavs, officially announced
bv the Petrograd office, was followed
by the Teutons, who crossed the Me
men almost Immediately and captured
the city after desperate street hght-
ing. Three thousand Russians were
CAPTURED. as we'll as one cannon ana
eighteen machine guns.
At the southern extremity Of the
line the Austrians have virtually
cleared Galicia Of the Russian invad'
ers. The Muscoyites hold only
small strip Of Galician territory be-
tween the River Sereth and Bessara-
bia. and the Austrians are relentless
" advancing to purge their soil OF
hostile troops.
With Grodno under the German flag,
the last fortress in Poland held by
the Russians no longer constitutes
menace to the German hosts advanc-
ing east and north, driving at the
great Baltic naval base of Riga, and
possibly at Petrograd itself. Coinci'
dentally with the news OF Grodnos
fall comes the news OF the capture by
German troops Of the strongly forti-
fed bridgehead at Lcnnwade, north
east Of FriedrChstadt, only forty
miles from Riga. II Is believed there
the Germans will make short shrift
Of the seaport with this obstacle over
come.
Meanwhile, in the south, there are
indications that the Austrians are con
templating a great invasion OF south
ern Russia from East Galica. Dis
patches from Berlin state the Austrian
general staff plans to launch drive
having for its object the Black sea
ports of Odessa and Schastopol
whence the Teutons can rush aid tC
the Turks and beat back the allies on
