"While our president and oar eon-

Is bu.sy entrenching himself In new po
sitions. "On the Dvlna front and southwest
of Lake Narocs, the enemy artillery at
some points opened a violent fire, fol
lowed by attempts of the Germans to
debouch from their trenches. These
were all repulsed.
In the region of Baranovlhl a local

There was no loss or damage to our
