Germans are hampered by difficult marshy

The Germans have failed to cut the line
of retreat of the Russian army that was

This explains the comparatively few pris-

1t is believed by military critics that the
Russians will make their final stand on the

OUT OF DANGEROUS SECTOR
The military writer on the Reitch SAYS
that from all the indications the Russian
forces that have reached the Segavold dis
trict are now safe, having left behind them
the dangerous sector lying between Roden
poiS and Nuremberg.
Colonel Andosky, who has just returned
from the front, says that the Riga opera.
tons of the Germans have about come to an
end. From now on it is expected that the
Germans will devote their chief attention
to the Friedrichstadt- Dvinsk line.
The attempt by the Germans to carry
out a spectacular f1anking movement east of
Riga failed.
