GRODNO CAPTURED
BATTLE IN STREETS
Fortress and City Fall to the
Germans.
STEP TOWARD PETROGAD
5000 Prisoners Taken BY Won Hinden.
burg-5aVarlan Army Emeroes
From Forest After Six
Days.

Berlin (by wireless to Tuckerton) =
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg's army
has captured Grodno, the last fort in
the Cars second line of defense held
by the Russians.
Official announcement of the capture
OF the great Russian fortress is made
in the report from the General Staff.
German troops, it states, rapidly
forced the passage of the Niemen
river after capturing the Russian
forts. There was nghting in the
streets Of Grodno. The city is now in
the hands of the Germans.
The city of Grodno is one of the
most important strongholds in West
ern Russia. 1t is only 80 miles south
west Of wilma, strategic point COM
manding the railways to Petrograd
and about so miles from the East
Prussian frontier. The railway con-
Meeting Warsaw and Petrograd passes
through Grodno and therefore the Ger
man victory is of importance in that
it may further open the way for a
great German drive on the Cars capi-
tai
Capital Of Important Province.
The town is the capital of the prov
ince of Grodno, in Lithuania, border
ing on Poland, one of the most import
ant districts of Russia. The popula-
ton is about $4,000. Grodno is on the
right bank of the Niemen and the
rivers Bug and Narev also flow
through the province, which has an
area of $4,000 square miles.
5000 Prisoners Taken.
"The army of Field Marshal Won
Hindenburg captured more than 5000
Russian prisoners and took one can
non and 18 machine guns.
Field Marshal Won Mackensen's
army, pursuing the Russians, reached
the Jasiolda near Silneka, Bereza and
Karaxieke, as we'll as the district of
Antopol, east of Kobrin. Austro-Hun-
garian troops advanced eastward
south of Boloto and Dubowoje.
I'm the southeastern theatre of war
the army of Count Won Bothmore ad-
vances. There is fighting in the
Sereth district.
5aVarians Cross Forest.
After being delayed six days in the
depths of Bialawieska forest <Ae
troops of Prince Leopold of Bavaria
have now emerged and are proceeding
eastward toward Wolkowysk, on the
road to Minsk 1t is expected that the
entire German front will now move
forward more rapidly.
Both wings were held up waiting for
the Princes army to accomplish it's
passage through the forest. AS his
forces occupy the centre of the Austro-
German lines, it was impossible for
the armies in the Baltic provinces and
in Galicia to advance far lest the front
be broken.

GERMAN PLEDGE
Officials Not Excited Over Sink
ing Of Hesperian.
ARE WAITING FOR FACTS
United States Did Not Ask For Nor
Did Germany Promise Aban-
donment Of Submarine
Warfare.

Washington. - ohicial Washington
failed to become excited when the
news Of the sinking of the Hesperian
by a German submarine reached this
city.
Everybody realized that any attempt
to send this great liner or any other to
the bottom in violation Of the rule, to
which Germany has SO lately given as
sent would be fraught with grave pos
sibilities, but all were confident that
when the full facts become known it
would be found that there had been no
deliberate violation Of the pledge given
recently through Ambassador Won
Bernstorff.
1t must be remembered that no
agreement has been exacted of Berlin
for an abandonment of Germany's sub
marine warfare. None has been asked
for. All the American Government
urged was an acceptance by the Ger
mans of the international law principle
that unarmed and unresisting mer-
chant ships be not sunk without warn
ing and without a reasonable oppor-
tunity for noncombatants to save
themselves.
Washington Waits For Facts.
This is what Germany agreed to
do and what she insists she decided
upon even before the Arabic was tor
pedoed. A thorough knowledge of the
facts in the Hesperian case must be
had before the Administration will be-
lieve that the latest U boat victim was
attacked in violation of Germany's
pledge.
Germany has given no pledge that
she will withdraw her submarines from
the war zone or that she will sink no
more passenger ships. She has given,
however, unqualified assurances that
she will respect the rights of neutrals
and noncombatants aboard ocean
liners. If she has done this in the case
OF the Hesperian the United States will
not make any move; If she has not,
and can show no good reason why she
has not, another crisis has been pre-
cipitated.
1t is simply unbelievable to the
Washington Government that Germany
would deliberately commit a breach of
faith at this time That conviction is
the basis for the confidence that exists
. in official circles. Any such breach
in the light Of the Bernstorff note, now
less than a week old, would utterly
outlaw Germany in the eyes of all
civilized peoples.

Conduct OF Ambassador To Be
Considered At Cabinet
Meeting.

WashingtOn.-Dr. Constantin Theo-
dor Dumba, the Austrian Ambassador
to the United States, told Secretary
Of State Lansing that he had acted
upon rigid orders from his Govern
ment in fomenting strikes among
Austro-Hungarians engaged in the
manufacture of war munitions for the
Entente Allies.
No apology was offered for the activ-
tiles of the diplomat in his efforts
to tie up large part of Americas in
dustrial system through labor trou-
bles, and no assurance was given DR..
Dumba that his explanation was salts
factory to this Government.
Action Deferred.
The Ambassador came to Washing
ton on hurried trip from his sum-
mer home at Lenox, Mass, for the pur-
pose of explaining his extraordinary
action as revealed by the report for
warded to the Austrian Foreign Office.
This report had been intrusted to
James F. Archibald, an American
newspaper man, but was seized by the
British Government and it's contents
made public.
Either the text of this report or the
substance of it has been received by
the State Department from London.
Secretary Lansing admitted that a
communication bearing upon it had
been submitted to President Wilson.
The Ambassador brought no copy with
him, saying to Mr.. Lansing that it was
written in New York by his own hand
and no copy preserved.
In view of the Ambassadors declara-
tion that all he did in interfering with
the manufacture of munitions in the
United States through strikes and
through "subsidizing" foreign language
newspapers was directed from Vienna,
the course of the Administration in
dealing with the situation has not been
determined upon. Mr.. Lansing inform
ed the diplomat that his statements
would be laid before the President,
and no decision would be arrived at
for a few days" In the meantime
the facts will become a matter OF
Cabinet discussion.

MEXICAN BANDITS
KILL AMERICANS
Two Victims of a Raid Across
the Border.
TROOPS PURSUE MExICANs
One Of the Mexicans Is Killed, But
the Balance Escape-Three Amerl-
cans Had Been Kidnapped Near
Brownsville BY the MexIcans..

Brownsville, Textile bullet-riddled
bodies of two Americans who were
kidnapped by Mexican bandits, about
IL miles north of here, were found in
the bed of dried lake.
They were Earl Donaldson, a farm
er, who came here from Fayette, Mo-,
two weeks ago, and an engineer named
Smith, engaged in concrete construc-
tion work on an irrigation canal.
In a fight between a platoon of
United States infantry and 16 out
laws, one of the Mexicans was killed
and the rest of the band put to rout.
The fight occurred IL miles north of
here. None of the Americans were
hurt.
The band to which was ascribed the
burning of trestle north of here was
held responsible for the kidnapping
of three Americans and the burning of
a pumping station. A contractor named
Stanley Dodds managed to make his
escape when the American troopers
appeared and fired on the Mexicans.
Dodds was said to have been un-
harmed by the outlaws because one
of the band told the others that Dodds
was German. His hat and shoes,
however, were taken.
Dodds, on escaping from the kid
nappers, went to a ranch house, where
he telephoned regarding his safety.
The other Americans were carried
away by the Mexicans and their fate
was not learned until their bodies were
found.
Lieutenant Faulkner, who COM
manded detachment searching for
outlaw Mexicans, reported that the
automobile trucks bearing the Ameri-
cans were travelling along the old Alice
stagecoach road, when a band was
seen. Called upon to halt, six of the
band showed fight, using an irrigation
canal as trench, while 10 fed down
the canal. The five, after a short
fight, also escaped, leaving their dead
comrade.
Following a fight Aviation Lieuten-
ant Joseph c. Morrow, pilot, with Lieu
tenant B. o. Jones, observer, reported
that United States cavalry and infantry
there were well-disposed throughout
the section in which there were be-
lieved to be from so to 60 Mexican
bandits. Further fighting was ex-
pected.
A Mexican who saw and talked to
members of the band, said they were
trying to force the Mexican population
Of this section to join them. All were
reported to be strangers in this sec
tion.

LOndon.-The Allan Line steamer
Hesperian, with $50 passengers and a
crew Of 800 aboard, bound from Liver
pool for Montreal, was attacked with
out warning by a German submarine
off the Irish coast just as darkness
was falling Saturday evening. Al
though the torpedo found its mark, the
vessel remained afioat and, according
to a statement issued by the company,
every soul aboard was saved.
No submarine was seen, and prob
ably 1t was too dark to observe the
wake of a torpedo, but all the pas
sengers and members of the crew who
arrived at Queenstown in the rescue
steamers agree that the attack was
made by a German undersea boat,
basing their opinion on the force Of
the shock and the great volume Of wa
ter thrown into the air. This dropped
back on the deck, drenching the pas
sengers who were taking an after
dinner promenade, feeling quite safe In
the belief that they had passed the
submarine danger zone.

There were no American passengers
aboard, so far as the American Consul
could learn, but two members of the
crew were American citizens, and they
were both saved.
About so Canadian soldiers, who
were wounded in battle in Flanders,
