The National Geographic- society in its statement to day gives tho following description of the Dvina, which has taken on a chnraeter of great military interest as the immediate barrier to Get man advanco on 1'etrograd. Duma Drain Vn.st Hoglou "The Dunn rhcr is now filling the part that tho Vistula river filled throughout tho first part of the war, that tho Bug filled following tiie fall of Wnrsaw and Ivangorod, nm1 tho powerful fortress nt Uiieimlnirg is now of tho impoitanco of Novo Ocorgievsk on tho contested Vistula lino or Urcst Litovsk on a contested lino of the Hug. The Dana cuts across tho paths leading to the not Hi and 1'ctrograd and into tho north central interior, where nie the rich industrial cities, oscow, Tcr, Itjef. While the Coiirlund is rich, the real lesources of Itussia hegiii to the west of this thiid Ittihsiau line. "Tho Dmiii has its sourco in a Fiuall lake cluster, about 800 feet above sea level, in the government of Tver. It rises in tho same highland where two of tho mightiest risers of Hnssia begin their courses tho Dnie per, which flows to the south and empties at Kherson into the I Slack hca, and tho Volga, which flows southeast and empties into the Cas pian. Tho sources of tho Voted, the river around whoso course a Ittis sian folk evolved mnl a Itussiau power grew, Ho in tho Valdai bills, a Svw miles not Hi of tho lakes (hat gio rise to tho Hiver Dunn.

It lakes up the drainage of an area of UIMHIO sipiaio milos, and is a commercial way of i'irxt iiiiiortanco in western Hnssia. Itiga, situated ten miles from its mouth, is ono of Russia's groat us t pint cities, and a significant part of tho products that its merchants as semble are brought down the Dana. Tho Inrgo ocean-going steamers can ascend only to Kigu, but river boats ply as far as Vitebsk. Larger river boats naxigato between Duenaburg and Kigu, a distance of J33 miles. "The river is (ISO miles long. It upper course lies through a broken country, firing rixo to many irregu. Jnnfios in its bed. In its lower couio it has an auragu depth of about thirty feet and an average breadth of 1100 feet. During the time of the spring floods these iiiimih nriimcnts are largely ineieascd. Tho Dunn, then, often piles up fifteen feet abovu its usunl level and spieads out for u width of more than a mile. The rixer is free from ice on an average of 'J 10 days in the year. "It ii estimated that more than 2,000,000 Mon of freight nre tnuis poited over tho Duua each ycai. Among it tributaries, tho .Moulin, Vyat, Kaplya, Ulla, DUna and llohler-aa, aio aNo navigable. The Jlcromiia canal connects tho Dana with the Dnieper, thus giving a freight route by water from tho Hal tie sea, ncros Iluropo, to tho Hlaek sea. As is tho general ease with Itiissmn rivers, the Duua abounds in fish, a very delicate specie of sal mon being caught in iU water?." MEN 0F.54 CALLED TO ARMS BY KAISER roPKNIIAGKN. Denmark Sept. 1.
