BELLIGERENCY
IN BULGARIA

London. Sept. 10. $40 P. M.-The
Germans have occupied Wilma and by
a wide sweeping movement north of
that city have succeeded in almost if
not entirely surrounding a portion Of
the Russian army which is fighting in
the railway triangle between Wilma,
Ida and Vileika.
At any rate, the Russian forces in
this district either must fight their
way out eastward or retire to the
southeast, for the only railway left
entirely in their hands is that which
runs from Wilma to Ida and thence
to Baranovitchi.

The Duel in Triangle

the army of Field Marshal Won
Hindenpurg and under direct command
Of General Won Eickhorn. which took
Wilma and has reached Eileika, east
of Wilma. is working in close cooper
alton with that Of Prince Leopold Of
Bavaria in an effort to catch q part
of the Russian army, an operation
which has been so often tried without
success since the Austro-G Germans
commenced their drive in western Ga
hcia in early May.
Russians Confident
The Russians express confidence in
the outcome of the battle which must
be decided before complete success
falls to one side or the other, but with
their northern armies closely held
along the Dvina and the German flank
we'll protected by their cavalry which
recently occupied Widsy across the
Wilma. Petrograd railway, it seems i'm
possible that any aid can come to them
from that direction. The battle seem
ingly must be fought out between the
troops now in the district between VIII
ma, Ida and Slonin with the assist
ance of any reinforcements that can
be spared to hold the German force
which has reached Vileika.

Ivanoff is still keeping Field Marshal Won

Victory for U. S. Financiers
Elimination Of the reported differ

fnanciers and members of the Anglo
French commission over the manner
OF placing the loan apparently has
resulted in a victory for the American
financiers. Previous reports indicated
that the commission felt that the loan

that there should be no underwriting
syndicate.
The Plan Accepted
The American conferees were re-
ported 10 favor adoption of a plan
whereby syndicate would underwrite
the big issue and would receive at
least one-half of one per cent. for its
services. This, it is reported. has been
the plan tentatively agreed to.
Efforts to elicit an expression Of the
commissions views on this point to-
night were futile. The various mem
bers of the delegation have been spend

said at their hotel that some Of them
were not expected to return until tomor-
row. However. word that an agreemen:
had been tentatively reached on this de-
tail Of the negotiations. one Of the chief
considered, came from several sources
whose ability to speak with authority
cannot be questioned.
Investor Pays Par
So far as the plan has now developed,

reported, to open their books to virtually
all the banks if not all, who wish to par

for the payment for munitions Of war, as
we'll at wheat. cotton and other commodi-
ties Chief among other minor details yet
to be worked out is the matter of Rus

CONSUMPTION
the Topic Of
Lloyd=George
Appeals to British People to
Give Government Opportunity
to Make Embarrassed Decision
over Compulsory Service

London, Sept. 10, P. M.-David
yd-Georse. minister of munitions,
in a letter TO one of his constituents,
issued by the Official Press Bureau
this evening, appeals to the people to
give the government fair chance to
decide the question of compulsory SER
vice and reiterates his view that the
situation is a seroius one which de-
mands that the country. if victory is
to fall to the allies. must exert its
whole strength. Mr.. Lloyd-George
says:
You say. and say rightly, that the
government ought to give the nation
lead on the question whether the
moral obligation of every able-bodied
man to defend his country should be
converted during this war into legal
obligation.
Governments Problem
The government. l can assure you,
are fully alive to the necessity for Civ
ing a definite lead. They are engaged
in examining the subject with view
to coming to the right decision. In
due delay may be disastrous. but I'M
due precipitation might be equally dis
astrous. Let US avoid both. The issue
is one of fact not of principle.
If the figures demonstrate that we
can win through with the voluntary
system it would be folly to provoke a
controversy in the middle of a world
war by attempts to substitute a total
ly different method. On the other
every unprejudiced person that the
voluntary system has exhausted its
utility, and nothing bit legal pressure
can give us the armies necessary to
defend the honor Of Great Britain and
save Europe from the triumph of mil
itary despotism l have not yet heard
of the man who would resist compul-
sion. And under these circumstances
the men who say they would offer re-
sistance to this expedient, even if
proven to be necessary to save their
country and the freedom Of the world
have not yet appeared in the arena,
and if they do 1 predict that their
protectors will not be found amongst
the working classes.
Wasting Of Fervor
1T is all a question Of ascertainable
facts. Why, then. all this premature an
ger? The determining facts have not yet
been published. When they have been
sifted and made known the advocates OF
one view or the other will surely find
that whole cylinders Of fervor and feroc-
ity have been wasted in attacking posi-
tons which they will then discover they
ought to defend. Let the government
have a fair chance to decide.
The opinions have formed as to the
essential action are prompted by the sin
cere persuasion that nothing but the ex-
