(Stun Correspondent United Pyess. I,
LONDON. March 23.-Half a mil
lion well equipped Russian troops,
under direct command of Gen.
Kuropatkin, are now assailing Won
Hindenburg's line on a front Of $50
miles.
The Russians. It is ofYicially an.
nounced at Petrograd. have dented
the German line at half a dozen
places. Unofscial dispatches today
reported the battle raging with
great fury 30 miles south OF Dvinsk.
The Slavs on this sector are driv-
ing westward toward the Wilma
Dvinsky railway. Whether Kuropat.
kin's heavy blows are the begin
ming Of a great offensive or merely
an attemrt to lift the pressure on
verdun, Il Is too early TO determine.
The Petrograd correspondent Of
the Morning Post csbled today that
"the great Russian move has be
gum" pointing out that Kuropatkin
IL employing large forces.
Other dispatches from Petrograd
described the Russian offensive as
an attempt to batter In the danger
Gus German wedge In the Dvinsk
region. removing the threat OF a
German offensive on that sector
when weather conditions are more
seasonable. This Is the view held
by the majority OF London critics
who believe the weather In the
Dvinsk region will not be favorable
for a great offensive for at least 4
month.
Northwest Of verdun the Germans
are striving desperately to capture
q dominant height In the Avocourt
region from which to bring gunfire
TO bear upon French positions
Emerging from the Avocourt woods,
