GREAT BATTLE
IS PENDING TO
SOUTH OF WILMA
Large Russian Army that Evacuated
the City is Now Menaced by
the Great German
Loop.
LIKE FLIGHT FROM WARSAW
Deep Concern is Felt in London for
Safety of Retiring Russian
Forces.
COUNTER BLOW IS NECESSARY

LONDON, Sept. 20.-The Russian
army menaced since the fall of wilma
by the German encircling movement
Is estimated variously at 100000 to
100000 men. The conditions under
which the Russians are attempting to
extricate themselves furnish a strik-
ing parallel TO those which followed
the capture OF Warsaw They may
precipitate one of the greatest, IL not
the greatest, battle which has been
fought on the eastern front.
Although no official confirmation has
been received In London from Petrograd
this morning OF the fall OF Wilma the
British press has accepted the German
claim readily in view OF the situation
that had been developing. Concern is
expressed for the retiring Russian forces

Won Hindenburgs troops have flung a
loop about the Russians over front Of
some 200 miles, and are 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 num-
Der of Russian prisoners left behind with
the evacuation OF wilma was not great
Apparently the only way in which the
retiring forces may ameliorate the seem
ingly bad situation is by counter blow.
One Chance for Return blow,

cavalry has penetrated so deeply into hos
tile country as to create a salient open
to sudden attack. II the Russians should
be able TO command reinforcements at the
proper time and place, but II ia not be-
lieved here that his opponents are in
position to deal such a blow effectively.
There IL 4 great deal OF speculation as TO
the German objective. Opinion is di-
vided whether Won Hlndenburg win seek
merely to close his loop. thus capturing
the army within the net, or, not content
with this, will press eastward toward
Minsk, and from the west through sloni
In an effort to reproduce the encirclins
movement on a more gigantic scale and
again try for a decisive victory. Similar
tactics attempted after the fall OF War
saw met with failure. The Russians are
employing their familiar rear guard tao
ties ana the hope is expressed in the
British press that they will be able TO
fight, their way out without shattcrins
losses.
