|pvNsK IS STRATEGIC POINT
One Of Russis's Best Fortified cities,
Now Prominent on the Russo-Sss-
man Firing Lire.

Dvinsk, one of Russia's strongest
fortified cities, which is now prac-
tically on the Russo-German firing
line, is described in a war geography
bulletin issued by the National Geo
graphic society, which says:
"With a population Of 10000, in
Guiding 10000 Jews, Dvinsk is a
city of prime Importance to Russia.
for it virtually controls the whole
valley Of the River Dvina, upon
whose right bank it is situated, 40
miles (135 miles by river) southeast
Of Riga.
"Not only is Dvinsk important as
a strategic river point but as thriv-
ing railway center. It is the juno
ton point for the great arteries Of
commerce running from Riga to
Smolensk and from Petrograd to
Wilma. There is also an important
railroad to Libau. Dvinsk is 332
miles by rail southwest of Petrograd.
"Dvinsk is an important agricul-
tural center. 1t is also big timber
market, and its flourishing indus
tries before the war included flour
mills, breweries, match and tobacco
factories, tanneries, brick and tile
works.
During Napoleon's Russian cam
paign in 1912 Marshal 0udinot tried
in vain to capture the bridgehead at
Dvinsk, but the honor of taking the
city was reserved for Macdonald a
few weeks later"

EGGS SENT SAFELY BY MAIL
New System, by Which They Are
Wrapped and Twisted in Long
Strips Of Paper, Is Patented.

The safe delivery of eggs to be
sent through the mail will be insured
and their period of freshness pro-
longed at the same time by the use
Of a new system which has recently
been patented and is now being
called to the attention of egg deal
ers and shippers, says the Scientific
American. The patent is on a ma
chine which wraps the eggs in a long
strip of paper, the eggs being entire-
ly covered by the paper which is
twisted about them, making them re-
semble a length of sausages more
than anything else,
The paper in which they have been
encased has been dampened, and in
this condition the eggs are draped
around a collapsible wire frame. As
the paper dries it becomes taut, and
the eggs are securely held between
the arms Of the frame. When they
are placed in a box for shipment
they are supported so that they can
not come in contact with each other
nor the box, and they are thus en-
abled to withstand a rough expert
ence which would be disastrous I'M
der ordinary conditions. The frames
are made in one dozen and crate
sizes. ~

A New British Star.

The great Hindenburg line, upon
which the German COMMANDMENTS
chief had builded his hopes Of holding
the British from inroads into the open
territory beyond, has been smashed,
and the task apparently was an easy
one. Attacking over front OF thir-
ty-two miles, extending from the
Scarpe river east of Arrars to st.
Quentin, Field Marshal Haig with his
English, Scotch, Irish and Welsh
troops made one of the most rapid
and spectacular drives of the present
war Wednesday, catching the Ger
mans completely by surprise in the
onslaught, capturing numerous posi-
tons which were regarded as i'm
pregnable and taking more than g.
600 prisoners and numerous guns.
The apex of the offensive apparently
is centered upon the important rail-
way junction of Cambria, lying to the
east of the old line, midway between
Arras and st. Quentin. Here, having
taken the towns of Marcoing, An
neux, Graincourt and Noveless, the
victorious troops, at last accounts,
were we'll within gun range OF Cam
brai, with its railroad lines and road
ways branching out toward all the
main points Of the compass.
The British drive was begun with
out the usual artillery prelude and as
the tanks and infantrymen made their
way through the wire entanglements
and pressed into the German positions
the surprised enemy began sending
up myriads OF signal rockets, calling
for assistance. Whether aid was
rushed up is not definitely known, but
seemingly the surprised Germans
fled in disorder, leaving all kinds OF
equipment behind and in most cases
did not even take time, as is usual, to
apply the torch to the villages they
evacuated.
The British casualties are described
as extremely light, while German
dead covered the ground as the Brit
ish swept forward. Reports to date
indicate that the depth of the pene-
tration in the region of Cambria has
exceeded five miles, and that at one
poiI.t, at least, the troops swept on
five miles beyond the German lines,
capturing additional villages. The Of
fensive was under direct command
of Gen. Sir Julian Hedworth George
Bying. Gen. John j. Pershing, COM
mander-in-chief of the American fore
es in France, was an interested OBJ
server of it.
The advance was continued in the
afternoon, the beaten Huns being Civ
en- no rest, and by night positions
were established FIVE miles behind
the former front lines. The work Of
Kidding France of the invaders seems
to be we'll under way.
