GRODNO IS TAKEN.
AusTRo-GERMAN FORCES CAP
TURE 5000 RUSSIANS WHEN
BIG FORTRESS FALLS.
SLAvS ARE IN FULL RETREAT
Germans Engage in Street Fighting
After Capturing Stronghold From
Observation-Disclosures Near Riga oe-
cupIed and Fall of Port is Near.

Vienna, Sept. 6.-The fleeing Rus
SLAMS have everywhere retreated on
the Sereth line in eastern Galicia. &C
cording to an official statement issued
by the war Office. Austrian troops are
now before Doubno, second fortress
on the Volhynian triangle. Here the
Russians have lined up to make
stand and the Austrians are preparing
for an attack.
London, Sept. 6.-interest in devel-
opments on the eastern front centers
on two extremities of the great 800
mile battle line, along the full extent
of which the Russian field army is
in full retreat before the advancing
Austro-Germen forces.
In the north the fortress and city
of Grodno have fallen before the
Germans. Evacuation of all the po-
sitions on the west bank of the Me
men by the Slavs, officially announced
by the Petrograd Office. was followed
by the occupation of Grodno fortress
by the Teutons, who crossed the Me
men almost Immediately and captured
the city after desperate street fight
ing. Three thousand Russians were
captured, as well as one cannon and
eighteen machine guns.
At the southern extremity of the
line the Austrians have virtually
cleared Galicia of the Russian invad-
ers. The Muscovites hold only a
small strip of Galician territory be-
tween the River Sereth and Bessara-
bia, and the Austrians are relentless
ly advancing to purge their soil of
hostile troops.
With Grodno under the German flag,
the last fortress in Poland held by
the Russians no longer constitutes
menace to the German hosts advanc-
ing east and north, driving at the
great Baltic naval base of Riga, and
possibly at Petrograd itself. Coinci-
dentally with the news of Grodno's
fall comes the news of the capture by
German troops of the strongly forti-
fed bridgehead at Lennwade, north
east of Friedrichstadt, only forty
miles from Riga. 1t is believed here
the Germans will make short shrift
of the seaport with this obstacle over
come.
Meanwhile. in the south, there are
indications that the Austrians are con-
templating great invasion of south
ern Russia from East Galicia. Dis
patches from Berlin state the Austrian
general staff plans to launch drive
having for it, object the Black sea
ports of Odessa and Sebastopol,
whence the Teutons can rush aid to
the Turks and beat back the allies on
Gallipoli who are attempting to cap
ture Constantinople.

POPE IN PEACE MOVE
CARDINAL GIBBONS PRESENTS
PoNTIFF's NOTE TO PRESIDENT.
Message Not Made Public, but the
Prelate Says Peace Prospects
Are Bright.

Washington, Sept. cardinal Glib
bons, dean of the College of Cardinals.
on Thursday presented to President
Wilson a confidential communication
from Pope Benedict inviting and urg-
ing this government to cooperate with
the Vatican and neutral nations to
bring about peace in Europe.
A conference on the same subject
was held later at the state department
between Cardinal Gibbons and Secre-
tary of State Lansing.
After his visits and confidential taik
to and with the president. Cardinal
Gibbons said:
Il think the prospects of peace are
Frightening"
Cardinal Gibbons, the secretary of
state and the president declined to re-
veal the details of the pope's sugges-
ton. 1t was stated at the White
House, in fact. that the president
would not discuss the subject at all.
Cardinal Gibbons said:
Il only can tell you that l conveyed
to the president a message from the
holy father and that the message re-
lated to the subject of peace. The
message cannot be made public yet; If
| receive authority / shall be glad to
make it public. The authority must
come from Rome and we will have to
confer about that.
Il regard the settlement of the con-
troversy between the United States
and Germany as affording an excep.
tional opportunity for peace proposals
and as having placed the United
States in a most advantageous posi-
ton to act in this direction
MY interview with the president
was most gratifying. 1t would, OF
! course, be improper for me to speak
in detail regarding the conference
with the president, but l may say the
conference was of a very genial and
happy character. In general way
| Mexico was also discussed"
The cardinal said the peace pro
posals he conveyed to the president
have been submitted only to the Unit
ed States. Whether the message from
the Vatican will be submitted to other
neutral governments the cardinal
would not say.
