movers in the agitation.
This campaign according to reports
from sources regarded as reliable,
contemplated heavy Withdrawals,

RUSSIAN ARMY
BELIEVED TRAPPED
Capture of Wilma Causes Great
Rejoicing in Berlin.
GREAT BATTLE is RAGING
Decisive Engagement Is Now Being
Fought-Czars Third Line Of
Defense in Danger of Being
Shattered by Invaders.

Berlin, Sept 21.-While Berlin gave
itself up to rejoicing over the cap
ture of the Russian stronghold Of
Wilma, military experts predicted the
early capture of the Russian army Of
a quarter of million men that has
been trapped by the Teutonic forces
in the railway triangle whose points
are bounded by wilma, Ida and Mo-
lodetschno.
A complete German victory in that
region, together with the shattering
of the Russian third line of defense,
is declared to be only matter of
days.
Great Battle Raging.
A decisive engagement of the
greatest battles yet fought In the
eastern theater-is raging east Of WI
ma where the forces of General Won
Eichhorn, General Won Scholtz and
General Won Gallwitz are engaged.
These armies, part of the group of
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg, are CO.
operating with the army of Prince
Leopold of Bavaria.
Victory for Won Hindenburg east OF
Wilma means not only another retire.
ment for the Russians in Poland. but
also the separation of the Russian
northern armies from the southern
forces.
Although the Russians have
achieved some local successes in the
Volhynian triangle, on the Galician

other great German victory in Poland
would relieve the Russian pressure on
the Gafican frontier and already the
Russians on the Strypa river in Ga
licia, have been fought to a stand
still by the Austro-Hungarian forces.
Russ Get Fresh Supplies.
Although the Russian forces OF
General Ivanoff have received fresh
supplies of ammunition and the re-
formed ranks are delivering furious
counter-attacks from strongly pre-
pared positions, the German advance
continues successfully. North and

Petrograd. Sept. 20.-The war office
admits that Wilma has been occupied
by German troops. To prevent the
destruction OF the city the Russian
forces which had been operating to
the west, north and northwest of the
city withdrew through wilma toward
the southwark. From a military stand
point wilma was regarded as worthless
to the Russians after the Germans had
cut the railway line between that city
and Pinsk.
Russ Evacuate kiev.
A news agency dispatch from Pc
trograd confirms a report circulated
some time ago that Kiev is being
evacuated by the Russians. The
Bourse Gazette, a government organ
in Petrograd. announces officially that
the evacuation is proceeding. The au-
thorities declare there are ample rail-
way facilities to make the evacuation
without difficulty.

TO ASK BANKS TO
AID ALLIES LOAN
Every Institution in U. S. viii
Get Invitation.
MANY EXPECTED TO REFUSE
Latest Reports Say Credit Will Total
$650,0oo, ooo-6onds viii Be First
Mortgage Upon Britain and
Colonies.

New York. Sept. 21.-Practically
United States will be asked to sub
scribe to the Anglo-French war loan
by the underwriting syndicate which
will float the loan, which, according
to latest reports, will amount to
$650,000,000. Trust companies will
also be given an opportunity to par
ticipate.
1t is believed in Wall street that
many banks will refuse to share in
the loan, despite the fact that it has
been agreed the money snail be used
for the purchase of general commodi-
ties and not for munitions of war. This
agreement was reached in the hope
of enlisting the help of banks with
pro-German affiliations. but the Ameri-
can tinanciers who are comforting
with the allies commissioners are
not yet assured that this plan will
have the result sought.
First Mortgage Basis.
The American tinanciers were re-
sponsible for the agreement that the
bonds to be issued shall be a first
mortgage upon Great Britain and her
colonies. The foreign commission
ers opposed this strenuously, but are
said to have been told that under no
other circumstances could the bonds
be sold.
Having settled the chief details of
the arrangements under which a
great American syndicate will under
write loan of several hundred mil.
lion dollars in the country for the al
lies, members of the Anglo-French
financial commission undertook anoth-
er task with which they have been in
terested by their respective govern
ments, namely, the purchase Of ammu-
milton.
Representatives OF American arms
and ammunition makers called at the
hotel and were taken up to the COM
missioners' quarters as soon as they
appeared 1t is understood they dis
cussed with the chief members Of the
commission the renewal of the con
tracts they now have for the manu-.
facture OF munitions, which were
made through J. p. Morgan, and the
making of new contracts.
