Kovno commands the Warsaw-Petrograd railway and it must be taken if the Germans hope to continue their advance toward the Russian capital, which, it was announced several days ago, after Warsaw was taken, would be the object of the next big drive. In the upper part of the fighting zone, around Poniewesch and Dvinsk, the German cavalry commanded by General von Buelow, and from which much was expected, has been driven back from Toving and to the eastward of that point, where the Germans had overrun considerable territory last week.
