LONDON, Aug. 13.-The Russians
for the time being are holding IN
check the Baltic flank Of the German
armies, which are struggling TO cut
the Warsaw-Petrograd railway and are
battling toward the Dvina, beyond
which lies the road to the Russian
capital. This has been accomplished
by the aid OF reinforcements, and by
virtue Of one counter attack after
another.
The fortress Of Kovno still holds out,
the German attacks toward Riga hav-
ing been repulsed and the railway
junction at Dvinisk remains in Rus
sian hands. From Ostrolenka. north
OF Warsaw, to Chelm, in the south,
the Teutons claim to have made great
progress, but between the Zeipro and
the Bug, they apparently have been
thrown back with heavy losses.
It may be that Field Marshal Won
Hindenberg has not exerted his full
power in the north, but is awaiting
events before hammering his hardest
toward Dvina. near the banks OF which
his cavalry has been for some time.
The fact that the Germans are able
to advance with comparative rapictty
due east from Warsaw, while being
checked on the right and left bank.

England and Russia that the stoutest
