Having been 'called', the last time we ventured opinion on the Frank case, by a friend who conversed with a party who claimed AEROPLANE FLIGHTS 4 4 considerable unpublished know-1 German! in the region of Riga and that in the vicinity of Kovno the Teutons have temporarily abandoned their attacks.

It is admitted by Petrograd the towns of Sokolow, Sielie and Lukow. strategic railway points to the east of Warsaw, have' been evacuated and that between the Narew and the Bug rivers the Russians, through their counter attacks, have been helped further their retreat toward the newly chosen positions. Of the fighting in the region of Riga the Russians are admitted by Berlin to have made repeated attacks against Field Marshal von Hinden-hurg's forces, but it is claimed thene were without success. Concerning the Kovno battle, where the Germans are trying to break through toward Vilna, Berlin asserts that the Germans have made further progress, thus controverting Petrograd's statement. Aside from this discrepancy, the official communications show that the Russians are gradually being pushed back, but not without giving battle to the Teutons.

The Germans say they have occupied Lukow, forty miles northwest of Ivangorod, and Zambrowa, and that the Russians are in retreat along the entire front between the Bug and the Parazew, with Field Marshal von Mackenzen following them. Vienna also adds its claim to con. tinued victories In the Vleprz and Bug districts. Of the situation near Riga, Berlin asserts that it remains unchanged. On the western front there has been little fighting except artillery engagements, although In the region of Nieuport a German infantry attack was put down, according to Parla.
