Towns of Dvinsk and wilma
Seriously Threatened by
Austro-Gerrnans.
GERMAN CENTER is
ADVANCING SLIGHTLY
Russians Are Continuing
Their Strong Offensive
in Galacia.
az AssocIATED PREsg.

London, Sept. 17.--Von linden
burg's army is astride of the Dvinsk-
Wilma railway and both the towns are
seriously threatened. While the Rus
slams doubtless will make an effort to
held Dvinsk, which can offer strong
resistance because of the swift Dvina
river, Wilma was defended only by the
army today. The German center has
made a slight advance east Of Pinsk
and the Russians continue the often
sive in Galicia.
Greece apparently has decided to
remain neutral and Roumania appears
definitely on the side of the allies
alone. Troops on GalIipoli are taking
rest while only artillery engage
ments mark the fighting in the east.
Petrograd admits the Russians are
falling back in the direction OF Pinsk,
the capture of which was announced
yesterday by the Germans. Occupa-
ton Of this town may be expected to
facilitate greatly the progress of Won
Mackensen's forces through the Prip-
ct marshes.
Owing to the propagation of the
Duma, domestic affairs are occupying
she attention of the authorities. The
EFFECT Of this incident on the military
situation is feared as indicated By
the proclamation of General Ruzzky
Russian commander IN the north, cal
ling upon worIunen not to Stacker
their efforts to keep the army sup
piled with munitions.
Although no official reports hav,
been received recently from French O
British sources, severe fighting seem
to be under way again on the Cali
poll front. The Turks, according t
their reports, have made several sue
cessful attacks in the region of An
afarta. Athens and Rome continue t
send out reports that the defensive
power of the Turks is weakening
but no official news has been receives
in confirmation.

the FL Class
By ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, Sept 17.-Secretary
Daniels today ordered all submarines
of the F4 type out of commission for
a thorough examination. His action
was taken upon the report of board
of inquiry which ascribes the F-4
disaster to battery explosion.
This statement was issued at the
department:
Secretary Daniels announced that
careful examination of the F-4 by
the board of inspectors appointed for
that purpose, showed that in the bat
teries, the lead plates were corroded
through in places and that the corro-
sion existed in the steel plates in
several places.
Secretary Daniels had ordered UNI
der examination the FL, F-2, and F-3.
They will probably be sent to the
Mare Island navy yard for thorough
overhauling with a view to correct
this inherent fault in batteries and
in the meanwhile has issued instruc-
tions suspending all exercises of the
submerged regions of these boats"

Understood That Proceed
ings VIII Be Instituted
in Courts Today.
CLAIM CALL FOR
ELECTION ILLEGAL
Papers Drawn and Ready
for Signatures of Parties
Whose Names Used.

1t was learned yesterday afternoon
from what is considered an authori-
tative source that the liquor interests
of the city have determined to test
the validity. OF the call for a local
option election on October as recent
W issued by the board of county
commissioners. The papers have all
been drawn and await only the sigma
lures of the men whose names are
to be used in the court proceedings.
1t was intimated late in the after
noon that the proceedings would be
instituted in the court of record to-
day, provided, of course the names of
the parties who are expected to APP
pear in the suit can be secured. The
-prohibitionists claim that the
call for the election was illegal and
that the commissioners and super
visor of registration exceeded their
authority. They allege that hundreds
of nameA were stricken from the reg
istration books, not with the view of
revising the books, but only to bring
down the total number of registered
voters TO point where the petitions
of the prohibition league would be
within the twenty-five per cent re-
quirement.
The document prepared for filing
in the courts is long one and recites
various allegations and alleged irreg-
ularities in connection with the call
for the election.
The travelling representative Of
one of the foreign liquor houses, who
apparently is much interested in the
outcome of the election, charged yes
terday afternoon that many of the
cards requesting the election were
forgeries and that there were also
many duplicates among the cards
filed with the commissioners.

the soldiers to direct fire. The Mexi-
cans finally ran and escaped in the
darkness.
In another encounter with Mexi-
cans near Los Fresnos it is believed
that at least one of the Mexicans was
injured.
Army patrols kept close watch to-
day, fearing outbreaks in the way OF
morning after" effects of the cele,
bration of Mexican independence.
The town of San Jose, 25 miles VI
the Rio Grande from here, a settle,
ment composed exclusively of Mexi
cans appealed for soldiers today tt

HUMANITY WILSON'S IDEA.
Blessing of Peace Stressed in Adj
dress to NeutraliZed Citizens.

Philadelphia. May 1l.-President
Wilson gave to a gathering OF 1000
naturaliZed Americans last night the
first intimation of the course the
United States probably will pursue in
the situation resulting from the loss
of more than a hundred American
lives on the British liner Lusltanla.
He spoke by implication. but his
hearers interpreted his remarks as
meaning that while the United States
would remain at peace it would seek
to convince Germany of the injustice
to mankind of the tragedy.
America, said the president,
must have the consciousness that on
all sides it touches elbows and
touches heart with all the nations Of
mankind. The example of America
must be a special example. And it
must be an example not merely of
peace because it would not fight, but
because peace is a healing and ele-
waiting influence Of the world and
strife is not.
There is such a thing as man
being too proud. to fight. There is
such a thing as being so right that
it does not need to convince others
H.. &c riobf -
These remarks precipitated a tu-
multi of applause and patriotic en-
thusiasm attended by waving OF
thousands of small American flags.
The president made no direct refer
ence to the Lusitania tragedy, but
the audience did not hesitate to read
the application of his statement.
The sentiment expressed in the
presidents speech was epitomlzed
later by one of his closest advisers as
humanity first" While it had not
yet been determined, he said, exact
ly what steps would be taken by the
United States in the present Crisis
the idea uppermost in the presidents
mind was to show that whatever
course is adopted-no matter how
will have as its objec-
tive the good of humanity.
The president was constantly IN
terrupted by spontaneous outbursts
of applause. He spoke clearly and
so quiet was his audience of $4,000
that he could be heard distinctly in
all parts of the hall. Everywhere
red, white and blue flags and bunt-
ing were displayed and band during
the evening played patriotic airs.

editors. Hempfeld is small town
and the Star is country weekly.
One of the editors is Norton Carr,
youth from the city, who conceived
the idea of printing the naked truth
about things in the paper. Following
is paragraph he wrote about the vii
lage church service. 1t was the
truth but it did not get into the
paper:
The usual forenoon service was
held in>the Congregational church on
Sunday. Being a hot day. the Rev.
Mr.. Sargent wore his black alpaca
coat. and preached earnestly for 80
minutes, his text being John x, 3.
Miss Daisy Miller played a selection
from Mozart, though the piano was
unfortunately out of tune. There
were in attendance fifteen women,
mostly old, seven men and four chill
dren. besides the choir. During the
sermon Mr.. Johnson went to sleep
and Mrs. Johnson ate four pepper
mints. Deacon Mitchell took up
collection of Sc cents, besides what
was in the envelopes.
