Coming events" etc., you all know the remainder of the well known adage, was perhaps the req son for the premonltory thrill of ex- pectancy which assailed Daily AL askan reporter few weeks ago when he saw Billy Bunting, grip In hand, steal silently aboard 8 southbound boat without apprisins anyone of either his destination or intentions. At the time, in noting his departure, we mentioned thai he would probably not be alone when he returned to Skagway, and the following paragraph taken from the Portland Telegram of Dec. 18th, proves our prognosticatloh was correct: g.. r~

HINDENBURG TAKES WILMA.

London.-Vilna captured by the
Austro-Germans and the Russian army
which had defended the strongly for
tilted city was officially reported by
Berlin to be in full flight.
By a wide sweeping movement to
the north of the city the Austro-Ger-
mans succeeded in almost, if not en-
tirely, surrounding the part of the Rus
sian forces which is fighting in the
railway triangle between Wilma, Ida
and Vileika.
The Russians in the district either
must cut their way through to the
eastward or retire in a southeasterly
direction, for the only railroad now
entirely in their control is the one
running from Wilma to Ida and thence
to Baranovitchi.
The fall of Wilma was another tri-
umph for the army of Field Marshal
Won Hindenburg, which, after taking
the city has reached Vileika, to the
east, and is working in close co-opera-
ton with that of Archduke Leopold
of Bavaria in the effort to entrap a
large part of the Cars army.
The operations are Of a character
which makes the battle rank as one
of the most sanguinary of the entire

GREATEST WAR TAX IN HISTORY FOR BRITAIN

Paris.-A victory of the Germans
over the Serbians raj announced, and
German guns were said to have sill
enced Serbian artillery situated across
the Danube. German artillery also
took part in a b~ombardment of the
fortress of Belgrade.
With the capture of Wilma, which,
next to Warsaw, is the most impor-
tant town in western Russia and a
railway junction of vital consequence,
Berlin discloses that a new campaign
in the Balkans with the object of
going to the assistance of the Turks
is more than a rumor.
The attack on the Serbian artillery
is interpreted by military observers
of the Entente allies as the first move
in an attempt to force a passage
through Serbia to the Bulgarian bord-
al concessions to Bulgaria, it has been
reported that Bulgaria will not op-
pose the movement of German and
Austrian troops to the relief of the
Turks at the Dardanelles or to the
defense of Constantinople.
The European chancelleries have
predicted that this move would force
Rumania and Greece into the war.
These nations, as well as Bulgaria,
have called out additional troops re-
Gently in preparation for EVENTUAL
ties.
The conditions under which the Rus
sian army in the Wilma sector is try
ing to extricate itself furnish a strik-
ing parallel to those following the
evacuation of Warsaw.
In the opinion of the military ex-
perts, the Cars forces are in a dan
gerous position. The Russians prob
ably took their guns away before the
Germans cut the railways, as the
evacuation of the city was decided
upon several weeks ago.
Petrograd continues to express con-
fidence in the ability of the army to
withdraw with an unbroken front and
to inflict as heavy losses as it sus-
tains.
The Russians are employing rear
guard tactics similar to those in their
former retreats. They are fighting
with determination and with evident
intention of inficting the heaviest
possible loses. They continue to de-
vastate all territory they are com
PEELED to abandon.
