SITUATION OF PETROGRAD.

REASSURING RUSSIAN OFFICIAL STATEMENT.

Losos. August 12.

A Petrograd telegram states: The General Staff Ras issuge u reassur ing notes pointing out that there is no likelihood of an cheny movement -towards Petrograd. which is strongly défoided, iftarily and naturally.

LATER.

The reassuring Cavernment porked that Potrognal is not endangered is due to u disenssion in the newspapers arising out of a brush enemy - offensive towards the interior of Russit, enutrary to the assumption that would promptly throw his forerete the Westem front. The enemy. Apparently supported by huge now lovies, is not waiting to sccomplish the enveloptions of the Russians retiring from the Vistula, but is enden souring to storm Rovno, sinodtaneously advancing on an extended front between the Niemen and the Dwina northward towards Riga, eastward towards Drinsk, and southward towards Vilms. The official reassurance points out that the Pskov Province is honeycombed with lakes and marches, affording a powerful tactical and strategien) line.
