Penned In and Must
Fight Their Way Out

London Sept. 2O.-The Russian army menaced
since the fall of Wilma by German encircing move
ment is estimated varousy at from 250O00 to 100000
men, The conditions under which the Russians are
attempting to extricate themselves furnish striking
parallel to those which followed the capture of War
saw. They may precpitate of the greatest if not
the greatest battles which has yet been fought on the
eastern front.
Although no official confirmation had been receiv-
ed in London from Petrograd this morning of the fall
of Vilna the British press has accepted the German
claim readily in view of the situation that has been
developing.
Concern is expressed for retiring Russian forces
So far as be judged, Field Marshal Won Hinden-
burg's troops have flung loop about the Russians
front of some 200 miles and not only In their
rear, but are menacing seriously the single railway
line and the few available wagon roads stretching to
the south.
AS was the case at Warsaw, the number of Rus
sian prisoners left behind with the evacuation of Wilma
was not great. .. a5 as4..-aas #ya. #.... p

CLAIM HUGE FUND TO
WORK AGAINST ALLIES
Providence Journal Declares
Between 35 and 40 Mil
lion Dollars Spent.

PROVIDENCE, r. l., Nov. 1.-THE
Providence Journal said Monday:
"A vast fund of money amounting
to between $4,000 600 and $4,000. 600
has been spent in this country in the
past four months for propaganda work
against the allies under the immedi-
ate supervision of Count Won Bern
storff. the German ambassador, and
DR.. Heinrich Albert, priyy councillor,
who describes himself TO a Journal
representative as the fiscal agent Of
his government.
The Journal has a positive record
Of the receipt by Ambassador Won
BernstOrff and Or. Albert OF at least
S1O,O0O,OOO in the time mentioned. A
great deal of this money has come
through the Guaranty Trust company
of New York and most of il has been
Immediately transferred to the Chase
National bank and other banks in
which DR.. Albert and Ambassador Won
BernstOrff keep a joint account.
The Journal charges that not one
dollar OF this money has been spent
for Legitimate purposes, but that all of
1t is going for propaganda work of the
most visions description. One item
alone, the maintenance Of bureaus
for dragging men out of munition fac
tories amounts to many millions of
dollars. The cost of sustenance of the
consular service of Geramny and the
expenses of the embassy reach the va
rious officials through regular chan
nels which are in no way connected
with the funds referred to. 1t is be-
lieved that the entire cost Of propa-
ganda work conducted by Austrian
conSuls and cOnsuls-g general is fl
nanced from this German fund"

mules. was coming down.
There was not room enough to pass,
and, of course, the rnotorist felt that
it was up to him to back down and
give the mules the right Of way. But
there was an obstacle. In the back
seat Of the automobile sat a woman,
the wife of the driver.
)'YOu'u not back down." she said.
"But, my dear, the man can't back
his mules up the mountain
II don't care. Wen not back down. -
There was a pause. then the man
with the mules sighed, shook hands
with the motorist and. looking toward
the woman, said:

back the mules up the mountain. I've
