RUSSIANS CERTAIN
OF FINAL VICTORY
High Military Experts Remain Confident That Germans
Will Not Greatly Profit From Their Advance Into
Cars Territory; Morale of Army Excellent

London, Sept. 90 Undiminished
confidence in high military circles that
the Russians will make successful
retreat from Wilma is reported by the
Petrograd correspondent of the Times,
The Germans, he says, are making
desperate efforts to bag some Of the
remaining Russian armies before the
withdrawal Is completed, but the
heaviest transport trains and impedi-
ment are already beyond the danger
zone and there Is hope that the Rus
sian forces will extricate themselves.
1t is important to bear in mind, the
correspondent wires, that many meshes
in the German net are composed, not
Of infantry, but OF comparatively weak
cavalry units which will be swamped
unless quickly withdrawn.
Viewing the situation in the north
ern sector of operations as whole,
the correspondent says:
''It Is noteworthy that German cav
airy seized and cut the Vila-Dvinsk
line on the twelfth but, though a
whole week elapsed, we are still await
ing a decision, and though communica-
tions are cut to the Wilma group Of
forces the latter are able to conduct
operations without any appreciable
lack of munitions, thanks to the
enormous reserves carried by the Rus
sian army"
Heavy Battles Raging.
The Times today publishes the fol-
lowing dispatch from correspondent
with the Russian forces, sent on Sat
urday from Dvinsk:
'I spent three days on this front
where a terrific battle is raging al
most increasingly. When attacks die
away at once place they begin in
stantly at another. The nearest front
Is only twelve miles from Dvinsk
whose deserted streets resound with
the detonations of heavy gunfire.
"The Russians are holding the
Dvinsk front in an excellent line Of
trenches three deep and despite con-
slant fierce attacks supported by con-
centrations OF heavy artillery, they
have held the enemy off thus far. Many
times the first line has been taken by

the enemy, then retaken by our counter
attacks. The Germans are twice OF
thrice our strength and have enormous
superiority in guns, as always, but
hitherto they have gained no decisive
advantage, each of their attempts be-
ing paid for with heavy loss of life.
Russians Not Alarmed.
Il find the morale of the Russians
unimpaired. They are fighting in the
same stubborn, determined manner,
while the situation as regards the sup.
ply of ammunition and rifles Is ma
terially improved, and the fate of
Dvinsk and the whole line along the
Dwina river is undecided.
"The capture of the city will be ef-
fected only by heavy sacrifices. In
the meantime the town has been
evacuated in the same orderly manner
seen at Warsaw and If the Russians
ultimately leave, the Germans will oc-
cupy the same empty she'll as in their
former victories.
"The nature of the country here Is
ideal for defense and undoubtedly the
Germans are paying two to one in loss.
IL IS uOI apparent WHY luc IoTAdIIs az
tach so much Importance to this Sec
tor, but II they are willing to pay the
price, they possibly can take 1t.
, "A large proportion of the popula-
ton Of Dvinsk has fed The evacu-
alton was started by the German hab-
It of dropping bombs, which killed
many civilians.
Germans Losing Heavily.
:.The character of the Russian de-
tense is improving every week and
If the outside world thinks the Ger
mans are driving their army before
them, It makes q gross mistake. II
the Riga and Dvinsk sectors are typi-
cal of Russian rear guard operations,
their nature Is such as should cause
more depression among the Germans
than among the Russians, and with
winter approaching and no important
objective attaintable before the sea-
son changes, believe the German
commanders must now recognize q
growing anxiety"

Uncensored Descriptions OF
Recent Attack Given BY
Yankee Spectators
THEATER CROWDS
PANIC-STRICKEN
Wave of Fear Sweeps Over
Populace as Bombs Are
Hurled From Skies

New York, Sept 2O.-A handful of
persons, from the millions who saw
the first Zeppelin raid over the heart
of London on the night of September 8,
reached New York today aboard the
steamship Orduna with thrilling
stories of the fight in the sky between
the invaders and British aircraft, and
other details of the damage inflicted
which had hitherto been suppressed by
the British censor.
There were said to be three Zeppe-
Inns in the feet, although those who
told the story today had seen but one:
They circled over the theater and
hotel district of London, dropping ex-
plosive and incendiary bombs One
of the latter, it was said, DESTROYED by
fire an entire block of warehouses
within Ave minutes walk OF Saint
Pauls church. An explosive bomb
ripped through six story tenement
in the center of the city, shattering
the building from top to bottom and
killing dozen or more men, women
and children as they slept.
Several bombs, according to the eye
witnesses, fell near three hospitals in
a cluster, the central one of which was
the Opthalmic hospital, full of wound
ed soldiers. All three buildings were
rocked to their foundations and not
pane of glass was left intact. The
patients had to be moved into the
street, where they lay for hours on
their cots while the damage was re-
paired.
Pieced together from accounts given
by the Orduna's passengers, the story
of the air raid was as follows:
Panic sways Crowds.
The raid occurred between 10:45 and
11:15 o'clock on the night of Septem-
Der 8, raid the previous night having
reached the eastern section of the city
but not the heart. Persons asleep in
the Metropole, the Victoria and other
hotels in the center of the city were
awakened by the incessant whirr OF
aeroplane engines as the British air
feet took wing to repel the invaders.
Just as the Zeppelins appeared over
the Strand, most of the theaters were
pouring their crowds into the street.
There, according to some passen-
gers, panic impended when the first
word of the approaching aircraft was
passed from mouth to mouth In
whispers. The lights were turned of
and men and women in evening
clothes fought for taxicabs and
other vehicles to take them home.
Other passengers said there was no
panic, but that great wave OF fear
seemed to engulf this section of the
darkened city before the anti-aircraft
guns began to pop away.

BIC SENSATION IN
THE BLACkMA|L CASE

ATLANTA, Ga, Oct. 26.-The Stella
Griffin blackmail case is creating the
biggest courtroom sensation Atlanta
has had in year, and the effort of the
state to convict Justice r. r. jack
son by letting the girl turn states
evidence is the center of bitter legal
fight today.
The point of Miss Griffin's sanity has
been raised, and it is possible that she
may escape criminal conviction only to
face the possibility of facing lunacy
commission and spending the rest of
her days in an insane asylum.
Yesterday afternoon after she had
testified against Judge Jackson and
C. c. Garrett, she was turned over by
the prosecution to the defense for
cross examination land was severely
drilled for several hours. Over the
protests of her attorneys, the young
trained nurse was forced to tell the
entire story of her life, and of her
relations with George B, Rauch, the
Atlanta business man whom she was
subsequently accused of trying to hold
up for $4,000 as 'love balm"
Today, the defense will continue to
cross examine her on the stand. The
defense is now seeking to prove that
the whole blackmail scheme originated
in the mind of the girl and not Of the
two men on trial, and that they were
simply employed by her as attorneys.
