WILMA IS CAPTURED BY
AlJSTR0- GERMAN FORCES
Great Russian Railway Center Taken
by TIE Tsutons-SlaVs in
Wild Flight.

Berlin, Sept 21.-Vilna, the great
railroad and industrial center of north
western Russia. has fallen before the
German drive. which has taken is
great cities and fortresses since the
capture of Warsaw. capital OF Poland.
The goal upon which the eyes of
General Won Hindenburg and all Ger
many has been set since Warsaw was
entered. was captured Sunday by the
forces of General Won Eichhorn, which
have been fighting stubbornly east
ward since their capture of Kovno
three weeks ago. The most desperate
Russian resistance encountered in the
entire German offensive has been
crushed. and Germany now holds the
key to the vital railroad system of
Russia
The coveted lateral railway from
Rovno in the south to Riga in the
north, with lines extending from Wilma
to Petrograd. Moscow. Odessa and
through the very heart of Russia is
now controlled by German forces.
The capture of Wilma. town of 17O.-
coo population. and one of the manu-
featuring centers of Russia. is the sew
enteenth similar success attained
since the German drive. which started
on May against Przemysl, has
crossed into Russian soil near Warsaw
and the Lublin-Cholm line in southern
Poland
The actual capture Of Wilma, though
predicted as imminent since the fall
Of BrestLitovsk several weeks ago,
appears to have been accomplished at
last by a desperate rush of General
Won Eichhorn's forces. aided by
simultaneous offensive by Generals
Won Seholz and Won Gallwitz and
Prince Leopold of Bavaria, conqueror
Of Warsaw.
The official announcement that the
Russians were routed completely at
the fall of the city leads to the as
sumption that though their losses in
men killed and wounded were great,
no body Of troops was surrounded and
captured.

U. S. HOLDS BRITISH
POLICY IS UNFRIENDLY
Wilson and Lansing Complete New
Note TO England-calls Ship
Seizure Illegal.

Washington, Sept 20.-Presfdent
Wilson and Secretary Of State Lam
sing conferred at length on Friday
on the completed note OF this govern
ment TO Great Britain. and on the
phases OF the controversy with Ger.
many over the sinking OF the Arabic.
The points of the new note TO Great
Britain, as obtained from officials who
have had part in putting it into pres
ent form. are:
That as the United States has re-
peatedly and consistently denied spe-
cifically every one Of the Qualifications
set up by Sir Edward Grey. the British
minister for foreign affairs, and Lord
Crewe, his assistant, this government
cannot fail to regard the persistent OPP
preston Of American commerce as UNI
friendly.
That Great Britain acted illegally
when she took cases of seizure and de-
tention out of the domain Of diplomacy
and made them merely matters for the
British prize courts
nat lAAE al IAuEhk W LAEdk RAAAaAu
for such actions is indefeusible, because
1t is based on the order in council.
which is itself an Illegal policy.
That the establishment of a block
ade under the order in council which
pretends TO include neutral ports. is
not justified by international law on
the mere suspicion that neutral ports
may be made the basis for unneutral
acts.
That the contention of Great Britain
that cargoes may be seized and de-
tanned on suspicion alone. without any
assertion of reasonable proof, is abso-
lutely untenable under any form Of
recognized law of nations.
That the United States has hereto
fore given Great Britain notice that it
would not tolerate acts such as IN the
packers case, which we're based on
the Illegal withdrawal of questions of
seizure and detention fro mthe cate
CORY Of diplomatic questions. The
United States has in fact filed its
caveat, putting Great Britain on no
tice

YOUNG BANDIT SENTENCED
Willie WiIbert, Who Kept Racine
Police Busy, Is Taken to
Industrial School.

Racine.-Wjllie Wilbert, years old,
bank robber. pickpocket and gang
leader, has been placed where he can
no longer startle the authorities with
his crimes. On a charge of incorrig-
Utility he has been sentenced to the
Waukesha Industrial school, where he
will be the youngest offender.
Willie's record reads like a page
from the register of the most hardened
criminal. Here 1t is in part:
Robbed Racine bank of $40 by sneak
ing in the hack door, the loot being
divided with the gang.
Robbed stores on two occasions, tap
ping the till.
Shoplifter, working in and 10 cent
stores.
Picked the pocket of workman en-
ployed in railroad construction work.
Ran away from home times without
number.
Young Wilbert has been up to his
neck in crime during the last two
years and his case was one of the
most perplexing problems Racine au-
thorities have had to solve. He was
too young to be sent to the Green Bay
reformatory, but something had to be
done with him because ne was teach
ing many other lads from good fami-
lies evil ways.

consin a fair of interest to rural and
city jewellers alike. A further pur-
pose was to make the people feel that
they have received their moneys
worth. The fair is past and the peo-
pie are the judges as to how well these
objects have been accomplished. Few
adverse criticisms and many favorable
expressions have come to this office.
We have appreciated the kindly dis
position shown. Secretary RemaV has
shown marked ability in planning and
conducting this fair Our superintend-
ents, in most instances, succeeded in
putting in departments that would do
credit to a national exposition. The
fair was planned so as not to exceed
the average expenditure for the last
ten years. Hence the average re-
ceipts should cover the expenditures.
In spite of unfavorable weather, our
attendance of 1856 was larger than
last year. The heads of the depart
ments made every effort to make the
fair success"
