Secretary Lansing unexpectedly went
to the White House for a conference with
President Wilson this afternoon. The gem
eral opinion was that Lensing's visit re-
lated to the recent Orduna note and pos
sibly to questions OF general policy to-
ward Germany.
The evidence gathered by the United

Lansing admitted this afternoon. He said
this was done at the request OF AmbaS-
sador Won Bernstorf.
II had been generally believed that Won
Bernstorn cabled the information direct
TO his Government. Secretary Lansing
refused to answer a question whether this
Government expected another note from
Germany on the Arabic case II was
generally known, however, that the Ad-
ministration expects Germany to send a
supplemental note disavowing the sink

Secretary Lansing declines to comment
on the request Of Ambassador Dumba to

The department was making an earnest

Coaches Must Give Men Hard
Work as Game Is Scheduled
September 25

PORT DEPOSIT, Md. Sept. 15.-The
hot weather here still exists. but scrim-
mage is sure to take place tomorrow, as
the coaches have a very short time to
have the team in shape for the first
game. on September 25.
The team is developing very fast al
though most of the men are under
weight. One thing very gratifying to the
coaches is the great find they have made
In NELL. He sure looks the best lineman
on the heid. He can run as fast as any
man on the field. and he has already had
two years football experience at Wash
ington University. Witherow reported
for practice this morning. and is in good
condition.
The morning work consisted in hand
ling of punts. Captain Harris had the
linemen and ends, except Urouhart and
Stack, for a long run across the coun-
try, while the coaches were working with
the backheld.
Coach Carl williams and Manager
Ered Adams left here this morning for

TEUTON RIGHT WING SAID TO
BE FLUNG BACK BY RUSSIANS

PETROGRAD, Sept. Is
Two sudden hankins movements by the
Russian troops have put the entire Aus
tro-German right wing in a dangerous
predicament which threatens with dis
aster the great Teutonic invasion of
Russia. according to latest reports re-
ceived by the War ONCE. The Austro-
German salient extending into Russian
territory from northern Galicia immedi-
ately found itself in great difi1culties Re-
treat is now in progress. Only part OF
the Teuton army has been able TO ex-
tricate itself.
South OF the Pripet marshes largo Ger
man forces are hurriedly retreating. pur-
sued by the Russians. who have crossed
the Goryn River and are pressing for
ward. Still farther south the Austro-
German troops, forced TO withdraw to
the Strypa River. are finding It difficult
TO hold their positions.
In the hghting of the last three days
more than 1900 prisoners have been
taken by the Russians. The Austro-c3er-
man armies are believed to have lost
thrice that number in killed and wounded.
Permitting the Austrian and German
forces to advance to the Lutsk-Dubno
line, he suddenly launched an offensive
against the Teutons' left flank from the
Pripet marshes, at the same time making
a similar attack on the enemy's right
from the Sereth river positions
A German cavalry force that reached
the Wilma Petrograd Railway has been
driven back and the railway line from
Dunsk to wilma is again In the hands
OF the Car, according TO dispatches
reaching here today.
Air scouts. however. report that the
Germans under General Won Buelow have
received reinforcemsnts and that large
bodies OF infantry are again approaching
the railway The Russians are concen-
trated in the region west OF Sventziany
and a big battle is believed imminent
along the Dyinsk- Wilma line.
