DVINSK AND WILMA
ARE HOLDING OUT
Both Cities Are Flanked and Are Be
ing Hard Pressed by the German
Forces.

PER0GRAD, Sept 17.-Although both
Dvinsk and Wilma have been flanked and
arc being hard pressed by the Germans,
the Russians are still holding these posi-
tions, and, according to war office advices
there is no immediate need for their aban-
donment
Dyinsk is regarded as the stronger posi-
ton because OF its protection by the
Dvina river. Neither point has further
strategic Importance except as a section
of the general front, each having been emp
tied of stores and abandoned by govern
ment and private institutions
russian successes in the vicinity of
Tanopol in Galicia, are causing elation in
army circles and among the people gen
orally; but it is pointed out that they will
not operate to betray the army into push
ing lncautiously into the Teutonic lines.
As an example of the tactics being fol-
lowed IN this respect there is cited the
Russian action northeast of Dubno, where.
after raldng Austrian positions and cap
turing 1900 prisoners the Russians volun-
tarily retired to their former position.
The line in the southwest is regarded as
the more secure since it is guaranteed
against turning movement one flank
resting on the Rumanian frontier and the
other on extensive marshes along the Pri-
pet river.

TO RECALL DUMBA
ON LEAVE OF ABSENCE
This Plan Said to Be Satisfactory to
Our Government-Wo Not Re
turn Here.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 17-The Aus
trian government intends to recall Am
bassador Dumha for consultation, ac-
eording to intimatipns given to Ambas-
sador Penfield when he delivered the
note from the United States asking for
the return of the ambassador to Aus
tria.
Such an arrangement, which is in ae-
cord with Ambassador Dumba 5 own
request for a recall on a leave of alb
sence, is satisfactory to the American
government.
1t is understood that Ambassador
Dumba would not return to the United
States at the termination of his leave
The purpose of these arrangements
it Is understood, is to cause no inter
ruption in the diplomatic relations OF
the two governments, the change being
looked upon as a personal affair.

Objection to Placing Burden
of Proof on Owners or
Shippers of Cargoes
CONFERENCE UPON
MEXICAN AFFAIRS
President and Secretary Lansing Have
III Mind Tentative Course-Recog-
milton of Carranza Regarded More
Favorably.

WASHINGTON, Sept 17.-President
Wilson and Secretary Lansing had a gem
eral conference on international affairs to-
day just before the secretary left for a 10
days vacation
No pressing developments in any of the
situations confronting the United States
are expected before Mr. Lansing's return
Mr.. Lansing announced that the new
note to Great Britain on the interference
with American trade had been completed.
The note is very long and has been in prep
aratlon for some time Its despatch has
been delayed not only on account of a de
sire TO gather complete information, but
because the United States was unwilling,
while negotiations with Germany were at
critical point, to be placed in the posi-
tlon of being forced to protest to Great
Britain in order to obtain an acquie.ence
by Germany in the viewpoint Of the Unit
ed States on submarine questions
1t is not believed that the new note
will go until some definite word is received
from Berlin on the German position in the
submarine cases
One of the most interesting features of
the note Is said to be the American gov
ernment's vigorous objection to the Brit
lsh governments attitude that the burden
OF proof rests upon the owners or shippers
tof cargoes, the United States holding that
it is the duty Of the British government to
prove the guilt Of the shipper
The President conferred at length with
the secretary on Mexican affairs Al
| though both have in mind a tentative
course of action the view of all the Pan
American eonferees VIII be sought tomor-
row at the meeting in New York before a
decision IS made rs to future steps. Pros
poets for the recognition of Carranza are
lat present more favorable.

OTTAWA, Ontario, sept. II. - An
nouncement was made in government
quarters today that Vilhjalmur Ste
fausson, the Arctic explorer, had been
heard from and was safe.
Stefansson had not been heard from
since April, 1914, and it had generally
been believed that he and his com
panions had been lost
The message from Stefansson was to
the naval department and was dated
from Eaillie island, Aug. 81, by way of
Nome, Alaska.
This was the first direct tiding of
the explorer in year and a half. No
news from him or his companions had
been received since their supporting
party turned back April II, 1914, from
Camp Separation on the north coast of
Alaska.
At that time he expected to reach
Banksland on the drifting ice, but the
strong current from the Mackenzie riv-
er and unfavorable winds drove the
ice to the eastward. This drift, if was
hoped by Stefansson S friends, would
carry the explorer and his companions
toward the Siberian coast. In this be
lief trading schooners and whalers ply
ing the Arctic this summer were asked
TO keep a sharp lookout for the explor-
eFs -... .
Last month trading vessels arriving
at Nome after trading along the Alas
kan and Siberian shores Of the Arctic
reported no trace of Stefansson.
