GERMANS WANT DVINSK
A RECENT ORDER. "THOUSANDS OF YOUR COMRADES ARE ENDANGERED." (Received September 28, 8.40 a.m.)' LONDON, September 27. A French official wireless message states that a recent order, addressed to Germans operating in the Dvinsk district, stated:— "Tens of thousands of your comrades, who have courageously pierced the Russian front at Seventziany, and are moving eastward, are endangered while Dvinsk remains Russian. It is absolutely necessary to take the town." . The wireless message adds:—"These wishes seem unlikely to be realised." Dvinsk, or Dunaburg, is a strongly fortified-town of Russia, on the right bank of the Duna, where it is crossed by the' railway from Petrograd to Warsaw, 110 miles south-east of Riga. It has railway workshops, tobacco factories, distilleries, breweries, etc., and is a great depot for Russian artillery.
