RUSSIANS WIN
DVINSK LINES
Storm Three Lines OF
Trenches and Cap
ture Town.

London. March o2.-The Russian Of
ssnsive against the Germans in North
western Russia has increased IN inten-
sity, and fighting is in progress DAY
and night. The latest Official statement
from Russian general headquarters
SAWS that desperate infantry fighting Is
proceeding north OF the town OF Pos-
tavv. where the Germans launched vio-
lent counter attacks in an attempt 10
dislodge the Russians from trencnes
which they had previously captured.
Respecting this operation, the Berlin
communication says that at TINS point
the Russians delivered their heaviest
attack and their losses reached "eH-
trsordinarily high figures, even Tor the
number OF Russians in action
The Russians captured three lines OF
the German trenches on the southwest
ern shore OF Lake Nsrocz, where 1t Is
officially declared, the fighting IS de-
veloping in favor Of the Russian forces
Here the Russians. despite "asphyxiat-
ing gases and murderous fire" forced
three lines Of wire entanglements and
made their gain in series Of fierce
hand-to-hsnd encounters.
The Russian War Office also official
ly announces the capture OF lspahan
in Persia after an engagement. An un-
official report received By way OF Rome
and London says that the Austrian
have abandoned Czcrnowitz, capital OF
Bukowina.
Seek TO Outnank Germans.
The Russian operations on the north
.rn front promise 20 develop into the
most serious movement undertaken b.
their side in this theatre Of war since
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg's cam
naign against Dvinsk last autumn.
Taking advantage of the herman
preoecupation At Nerdun, the RUSSIAN
staR decided TO anticipate any plans
IN. Germans might be making Tor an
oFensive in the Dvinsk region by
series OF maneuvres which. If success

Word also reached the capital to-
night that Colonel Cano, another
Carranza commander, reported on
Monday night as fighting Villa near
Namiquipa, had joined the bandit
leader after a parlcy. 1t is believed
that other commanders who have
long been lukewarm may seize the
opportunity Of deserting the Constl-
tutionalists. Down with the grin

poems who have grown tired Of years
Of fighting.
Causes Grave Concern.
Army officers expressed grave con-
Germ tonight over the Herrera re-
volt. With the slender columns at
General Funston's disposal there
were intimstions that steps would
have 70 be taken promptly 70 protect
General Pershing's line Of communi-
cations. There was a general belief
tonight that orders would he issued
tomorrow for a general mobilization
Of American forces not now on the
border. These are: Second Cavalry,
at Fort Ethan Allen, VT; the Sd In
fantry. at Madison barracks, Water
town, y. Y, and Fort Ontario, near
Oswego, y. Y; the goth Infantry, at
Plattsburg. y. Y; the 2lst Infantry,
at Vancouver, Wash; one battalion
each Of the lsth Infantry, AZ Seattle,
Spokane and Alaska; Of the 18th In
fantry, a. Fort Sill, Okla.
Also available Of the mobile army
are the Porto Rican regiment, a ma
tive organization, which army officers
say would be invaluable in Mexico;
the 5th Field Artillery, at Fort Sill.
excepting Battery A, which is at
Fort Bliss; one battalion Of the Sd
Field Artillery, at Fort Myer, Va,
the other battalion and headquarters
being at Fort Sam Houston, Tex,
and one battalion Of engineers at

Of 3.107.
Could Draw on Coast Artillery.
War Department officials declared to-
night that II II was necessary. the
Coast Artillery Corps could be drawn
upon for 1900 men, thus increasing
tho available forces % $4,000. Several
Of the states. notably New York, llli-

purpose in calling Mr.. Gerard into
conference was to enlist the services
Ct the United States as mediator IN

believe also that it is because of the
peace talk he is hearing in Berlin
that the ambassador has decided not
to take a vacation at this time and
return to America, although the
State Department recently offered
him the opportunity TO do so.
Mr.. Gerard notified the depart
ment two weeks ago that he would
not take his vacation in America. 1t
was not. therefore, because of last
Fridays conference that he decided
TO remain at his post. 1t is under
stood. however, that his decision fol-
lowed a previous request from the
Chancellor that he remain, I'm view
Of the serious issues pending be

Il is assumed that the Chancellor
lad peace negotiations in mind when
he made the suggestion. Mr.. Gerard
has not been charged with the sub
marine controversy, which has been
handled exclusively through Count
Won Bernstorf. 1t is believed, how
ever. that Germany would not IN
trust such extremely confidential
matters as peace negotiations TO the
wireless, the only communication at
Count yon Bcrnstorf's command.
As told in The Tribune to-day, how
ever. Mr.. Gcrard's message Is not the
most significant indication OF peace
here. All Washington - discussing
terms. and efforts arc being made IN
diplomatic circles to sound out the
enemy i'm devious ways. For months
German sympathizcrs have been play

ing thrown out in Entente quarters ioi

effect on the diplomats Of the Contra
Powers.
