Petrograd, March 20.
Military critics consider that the German reconnoitring in the Sventziang region shows nervous tension and expectation of attack against vulnerable spots in their line. Repeating the programme of last autumn they endeavour by a serie of skirmishes to insure the Dvinsk Vilna Railway on their right flank and rear from our attack from the direction of Sventziany.
The enemy's advance at Lipsk shows attempts to cross the river Shara, thus enabling cooperation with their troops at Baranovitch from the south.
