29 SEPTEMBER 1917, Page 1
The Russian Army that retreated from Riga and then took
the offensive has had some further successes on a small scale along the Pakoff road. But the enemy is now seen to have been transferring the bulk of his troops further to the south-cast, for last Saturday he attacked in force near Jaeobstadt and, apparently without encountering much resistance, drove the Russians across the Drina and occupied the town. The whole Drina valley below Jacobstadt is now in German hands. The important town of Dvinsk, further up the river, is now threatened. In Bukowina and Moldavia the Rumanians continue to maintain their positions.
