^ r ^ RUSSIAN OFFENSIVE AGAINST GEN. HINDEN6URG In the Region of Dvinsk Part of the German First Line Trenches Were Captured. A despatch from London says : â€" â-  were taken by the attacking forces. Surpasing even in importance the al- : Furious fighting is continuing along lies' great eflfort on the western front, ' tjiis whole line. The Germans, speed- the news from the eastern battlefield shows that the Russians have extend- ed their offensive on an extensive scale. On the whole front from Riga tc Baranovichi, a distance of about 300 miles, the Russians are being hurled against the German lines. Further to the south General Kale- dines is driving steadily forward to- ward Kovel and has captured two vil- lages and a railroad station on the Sarny-Kovel road. Military critics of the allies assert that unless the Germans can halt the Russian ad- vance in the immediate future they will have to withdraw their lines along the entire eastern front and probably abandon Lemberg. In the tremendous offensive against Fiald Marshal von Hindenburg's forces General Evert is leading the Czar's troops in furious attacks ex- tendir? along a hundred-mile front from the Vilna line In the north to Baranovichi in the south. Preceding their infantry assaults by a bombardment of such intensity dur- ing its 24 hours' duration, that the Germans were blinded and stunned in- to helplessness, the Russians hurled ily rallying from the first Russian on- , alaughts, are launching counter-at- tacks in rapid succession in an at- ' tempt to win back the lost positions. Unless the Russians can be checked immediately at the vital points where their first thrusts have succeeded, it is believed that their whole lines in the northern sector will be greatly en- , dangered. i Russians Strike Two Blows. ' London, July 9. â€" Two heavy blows ' were ddivered against the Teutonic battlefront in the easti yesterday by the Russians. The first was the capture of two important villiages in the drive on Kovel. The second was the capture of Delatyn, an important railway junc- tion through which the Austrians had supplied their armies at Stanislau and Tamopol, protecting Lemberg. Sev- eral days ago Russiant roops cut the | Delatyn Railway, west of Kolomea, j but not until yesterday did they oc- ' cupy the junction city. Heavy fighting continues between the Stokhod and the Styr Rivers.
