London. Sept 20, 9.45 p. m.-Of the many big battles on the eastern front during the past five months few, if any, have been fraught with such inn portance for the opposing armies as that now in progress east and south of Vilnas where the German field marshal Won Hindenburg is attempt ing to cut off the retreat and destroy the Russian army which defended that city.
 The German official report issued today throws little light on the pro- gress of the operations, simply. stat ing that "the attack against the en- erny retreating from Wilma is proceed ing"

 Petrograd continues to express con- f1oence ill the ability of the Russians 60 extricate themselves from the net thrown around them.

 Relentless Cruelty.
 Soon after war broke out between Turkey and the allies" continues the viscount, the Turkish government formed and since has been carrying out with relentless cruelty. a plan for extirpating Christianity by killing off Christians of the Armenian race. Accounts from different sources agree that over the whole of eastern and northern Asia Minor and Armenia the Cristtan population is being delib- erately exterminated, the men of mil itary age being killed and the young CT women seized for Turkish harems, compelled to become Mohammedans and kept with children in virtual slavery.
 Old People Driven Into the Deserts
 The rest of the inhabitants old vi men, men and children have been driven under convoy of Turkish sol diers into unhealthy parts of Asia Minor, some to the deserts between Syria and the unhealthy parts of Asia Minor. some to the deserts between Syria and the Euphrates. Many die or are murdered en route ana all perish sooner or later.

 The state department has not yet received word from Vienpa as to what action will be taken regarding pr. Dumba, though it has been learned unofficiaIly that the ambassador plans to leave the United States Septem- Der 2S. It was indicated definitely again tonight that while officials were displeased with the letter of Dr. DumIp ba to Secretary Lansing complaining he had been treated unfairly. there was no intention of handing the ann bassador his passports. State de- partment officials have started an in- vestigation, however, to establish just how this letter became public in New York and if it develops that pr.

 Compulsory Military Service.

New York, Sept. 2o.-A statement by Representative ames Hay of Vir- ginia chairman of the house commit tee on military affairs, in which he ex- pressed the belief that congress would not favorably consider any legislation looking to compulsory military service was given out here tonight by the Ma tional Security league. The league an- nounced that MT. Hays views were obtained by a representative of that organization in Washington and made public for the first time since the ques- tion of adequate military preparedness had recently been agitated throughout the country.
 Chairman Hay is quoted By the league as saying he will be guided in large measure "by the president's S views, because I believe he is broad enough to consider the interests of the entire people and wise enough to sub init plans which will be efficient with out adding too largely to our burden of taxation.
 With a standing army of 91,000, as now enlisted,% Chairman Hay says, the present cost is S120,000, 900 a year while the full strength of the army of 120. .0G0. in addition to the pay of the national guard, would cost $40, ,000, 900 An army of 500.000, which some people l advocate he said, would mean an ex- pense to the government of $7o0,000,0 ,00O a year."

 German Move Against Serbs.
 Although presumably Germany has her hands full in driving the Russians back, she has found men and guns to go to her allies assistance against Serbia and the German official com nlunication announces that German guns have taken up the fight against the Serbian artillery across the Dan ube and claims to have silenced it. Heavy 5orbardment in the West.
 The bombardment with heavy guns has become mutual in the west, both sides maintaining an almost contin- uous fire, while the British fleet is making matters lively Cor the Ger mans on the Belgian coast. There are no signs as yet of a general offen- sive, however. and another winter in the trenches may be looked for as as- sured.
 Interest in Bulgarian Situation.
 Intense interest is taken Tn the bulgarian situation and the efforts of the opposition parties to induce the King and government to depart from the paths of neutrality and join the entente powers. It is believed. how ever,, that despite denials, the rail- way agreement with. Turkey binds Bulgaria to maintain a. benevolent neutrality. towards Turkey and the GerHanfc powers.

MUNITIONS NOT ALLOWED TO
 BLOCK BIG CREDIT LOAN
Consensus of Opinion. of Those in
 Close Touch with Negotiations.

New York, Sept 20.-Munitions of war will not be allowed to block the proposed big credit loan to Great Bri- tain and France; nor will the $600.- coo o0O or $500, ,OO0, 900 to be secured. be locked up at once in a New York treasury chest, according to con- sensus of opinion today of those in close touch with negotiations for rais- inC -he money.
 Tt would be absurd" said a banker who has been in almost daily confer ence with the commission, ito assume that the whole problem of stablizing exchange and thus providing for con- tinuance of all American exports will be halted over a discussion. as to whether a credit loan should be made available for munitions payments The big thing is to stabilize the exchange; then the matter of paying for muni- tions automatically takes care of it. %elf''
 Exports of munitions, it was esti- mated. constitute considerably loss than 25 per cent of the total value nf American shipments to Great Britain and France. Leaving them out of call c;Ilations. if provision be made for the shipment of soil products and the chief manufactured articles, exchange will, in the opinion of bankers, become sta bilized. It would not then be difficult to find a method of paying for muni- tions. if it were absolutely necessary to adop. different method. it is be- lieved Geld or American securities, CT both, or even some other method of rayment could be arranged.
