LONDON, Sept. 20.-Advices from Petrograd states that the German army has encircled the city of Wilma and that Russian troops numbering nearly a half million men have been surrounded and cut off from the main army. Fears are expressed that the Russians, who are attempting to cut their way through the German cir cle, will be captured as their muni- tions must soon become exhausted in the terrific battle which is raging. The Germans annihilated whole de- tachments of the Russians when the Czar's generals attempted to repeat the tactics successfully employed in saving the Russian army at Warsaw.
 The disaster which has overtaken the Russian forces has created a feel ing of gloom throughout the empire as it is feared that General Hinden' burg has destroyed the usefulness of Russia's field force, which will re- uuire months to build up as an ag- gressive opposition to the advance of the Teutons. The details of the bat tie which is now raging is anxiously awaited in England, as it is realized that if General Hindenburg succeeds

Founder of American Anti-Saloon League States That Vigorous
 Campaign Being Organized

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 20.-Dr Howard Russells, founder of the American Anti-Saloon League, is in the city and states that the league will make a determined effort to put Alaska and the Hawaiian islands in the dry column at the next electio He announces that the league now has a fund of $2,OO0,000 which will be used in the campaigns.
 Dr. Russells believes that Alaska is sure to enter the list of prohibition countries, but is not so positive or the Hawaiian islands, owing to t"c large foreign population there. F.' states that reports from all parts oi Alaska indicate that prohibition will sweep the territory and that in the Second division the federal authcrl- ties have refused to grant licenses for saloons extending beyond May next year, believing that the peep! , will favor prohibition.
 The prohibition campaign in the north is soon to begin and Dr. Rus sells states that several temperance speakers of national reputation have offered their services in Alaska dur ing the campaign. He also stated that the league anticipated opposi- tion from the wholesale liquor deal- era and manufacturers association. He believed that the liquor men of the Pacific Coast states had created fund to fight prohibition in Alaska, but expressed the belief that the cam paign would result in the territory going dry owing to the general apathy of the saloon men.

MEX|CANS AND
 CAVALRY FIGHT
Ton United States Patrols Engage Five Hundred Mexicans in
 Fight Across the River.

BROWNSVILLE, Sept. 2O.-A party of ten United States cavalry men, while partolling the banks oE the Rio Grande near here were fired upon by Mexican soldiers across the river. Although the Mexicans num- hered more than 500 the Americans replied to their fire, and report that they hit many of the Mexicans, who were carried away by their compan~ ions. None of the Americans were hit.
 The lpng-range battle lasted until the arrival of endorsements from this city, when the Mexicans with drew from the banks of the river and went into camp just beyond range of ths' American rifles. The situation along the border is fast becoming in- tolerable to Texans and the governor is being urged to call out the militia. The governor has been requested by the federal authorities not to call the militia to patrol the border as it is feared they will cross the border into Mexico in retaliation for the Mexican raids upon isolated Texas ranches.

HUGE LOAN |S
 BEING ARRANGED
Now York Bankers Will Take Britt ish and French Government
 Bonds for Huge Sum.

NEW YORK, Sept 20.-It is re- ported in financial circles here that the New York bankers have practi- cally determined to finance the loan of three-quarters of billion which is being offered to American bankers through the financial house of J. P. Morgan & Co.,, for the British and French governments. A syndicate of American bankers has offered to un- derwrite the loan for commission of one-half of one per cent.
 The bonds which are being offered by the British and French govern ments will mature in from five to seven years and will be redeemable at the rate of one hundred millions annually.
 The strong opposition which ap- peared in banking circles to making the huge loan to the European gov. ernments without securities other than the promises of the governments to meet their obligations has been quietly suppressed. Bankers are de- clared to have feared that should the Germans eventually triumph that the loans to the British and French gov ernmepts without tangible securities would be worthless and would result in disastrous financial panic in this country.
 Report is current in Wall Street that the Rockefeller, Carnegie, Gould and Hartman interests are active in seeing that the loan is made and are subscribing literally for the bonds. The opposition on the part of bank CTS who are willing to subscribe to the loan but who are opposed to the money being used for the payment of munitions of war to be used against the Germans is understood to be con- fined to banking institutions in which an-Americans are interested. The purchases of the British and French governments in America since the beginning of the European war are said to have reached the grand total of $75O,0O0,000.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2O.-1t is rumored in official circles here that President Wilson is considering call- ing a session of the Senate to advise with him regarding the Mexican sit uation. It is known that the Mexi- can situation has been the subject under discussion at several confer ences of the cabinet at the White House during the past few days.
 That the United States will be compelled to intervene in Mexico, and that President Wilson will have the support of the South American couu- tries is the prevailing opinion of prominent army and navy officials. The action of President Carranza in refusing to send delegates to confer with the Pan-American conferees has complicated matters as only Vil- la representatives have appeared with suggestions as to methods of re- storing peace in the war-torn repub- lie.
 The Pan-American representatives, now in session in New York, have announced that they are prepared to select a leader for Mexico, who will be extended the support of the United States and Latin-American countries
