TRAP AGAIN SET

GERMANS HAVE SUCCEEDED IN
ALMOST ENTIRELY SURROUND

Wilma is Taken by German Forces
and Russians Must Fight Their

succeeded in almost entirely surround
ing portion of the Russian army
which is fighting in the railway tri
angle between Wilma. Ida and Vileika
At any rate, the Russian forces in
this district either must fight their
way out eastward or retire in a south
easterly direction, for the only rail
way left entirely in their hands is
that which runs from Wilma to Ida
and thence to Baranovitchi.
The army of Field Marshal Won Hin
denburg. which took Wilma and has
reached Nileika, to the east of Wilma
is working in close cooperation with
that of Archduke Leopold Of Bavaria
in an effort to catch a part of the
Russian army, an operation which has
been so often tried without success
since the Austro-Germans commenced
heir drive in western Galicia in early
May
The Russians express confidence in
the outcome of the battle, but with
their northern armies held closely
along the Dvina and the German flank
well protected by their cavalry. which
recently occupied Widsy, across the
Wilma Petrograd railway, it seems i'm
