pcTnoanAD, Aug. il
Tho evacuation of the Itusslan forttflad
city of Kovno has begun Olllclal an
nouncement of the abandonment of tho
city beforo the AustroGerman drlvo was
made this afternoon by tho War Omce.'
Tho Government archives ore being re
moved to Dobrulsk, 250 miles southeast
of Kovno m me Government of Minsk.
Kovno lies In the path -of tho great
cavalry army of General von Buolow,
which Is sweeping eastward against the
Warsaw-Pctrogrnd Railway.
Kovno Is tho capital of the government
of tho same name. It Is strongly forti
fied, and for two days the forts have
been under the flro of tho heavy German
guns.
Kovno lies on the Nlcmen River and
upon tho railway lino running from Vllna
to Koenlgsberg, In East Prussia. Tho
city Is ono of tho principal fortresses in
tho second line of defenses of tho Rus
sians. Its evacuation means that the
Russian army 'of Grand Duko Nicholas
will probably retire at least 100 miles
eastward of Warsaw. It had originally
been Intended to retreat bohlnd the
fortress of Kovno, Grodno and 13 res t
Lltovsk, but tho evacuation of Kovno
means that this lino Is untenable.
With the Germans In Kovno tho Rus
sians will probably havo to retiro far

eastward from Brest-Lltovsk for strateg
ical reasons.
Riga will also probably fall as well as
Vllna, evacuation of which was ordered
yesterday.
The German forces In Courland nnd
northern Poland proved stronger than
supposed and their seemingly inexhaust
ible supplies of guns and ammunition
have proved moro than a match for the
Russians, despite th brilliant fighting
qualities of the Muscovite troops.
Factories at Kovno have been disman
tled nnd their equipment removed to
other towns. Relics in tho old palace
havo oeen taken away.
Dispatches received here this afternoon
reported Increasing activity by tho air
wing of the German armies. A Zeppelin
flow over Ustdvlnsk fortress yesterday.
Taubes fly over Riga nearly every day.
