Three hundred thousand Russians are retiring from t'ae Vilna region, under terrible attack on both flunks from German forces who ure making herculean efforts to sur round them. Their position is more critical than that of any Russian army since the (Treat Anstro-Uerman campaign began, (ierman. forces are crowding them hard in their desperate effort to escape iso lation. Confidence was expressed in mil itary circles today that they will either ?sca'pe the Teutons without a general battle or will be able to smash their way through the Austro-Gernian offen sive. Though Berlin" officially said that in tlie capture of Vilna, the Teutons ef forts had been crowned with success, this success was dearly bought, for the Austro-Oermans are now Buffering very heavy losses in their attempts to sur round the fleeing Slavs. Austro-Ger-man cavalry smashing at the right wing has been mowed down by artillery fire. At the same time, the Bavarian rorc e attempting to cut off the retreat from the south, within a few miles of the litila-harnanovith railway are meet .ing the strongest resistance. Successes for the Russians in Valhy ma and Galieia are officially reported. Taken as a whole, military author ilics here were nut. pessimistic over tin .situation. They felt confident that the . masterly retreats which have hitherto marked the Slav retirements will be du plicated. The iaws of the German trail, set for the Slavs, are now spread 00 miles mart. The Russians have been with drawing from this vise since Friday, when t Tie fall of Vilna was seen to be imminent. I The roads and fields in their path of flight are splendidly adapted for hasty id irement. Occupation of lllugst by the Germans was officially admitted. The Russian retirement in the Valy niau triangle consisted of a repulse of efforts to wnge.n new offensive. A drive for Dvinsk, key to the path to Petrograd and Riga, is expected soon. That a more desperate resistance would mark such a move was regarded likely, however. German Guns Kill Citizens. . Paris, Sept. 20. A large number of citizen's, including the assistant mayor were slaia last night when the Ger mans boniharded St. Menehould at long range. The city hall and other public buildings were damaged. The communique today reported that tiie J'reiicli cannonaded the enemy heav ily at all points of tiie battle line. These attacks succeeded iu preventing the enemy from gathering new supplies of ammunition. Germans were active in bombarding he suburbs of Arras, Foucaucourt, Mer eleville and Tracy-le-val but the French icplied with a sharp fire.

REC0GN1Z CARRANZA UNLESS CONSCRIPTION COMES ONL Y AS LAST RESORT SAYS LLOYD GEORGE By Ed L. Keen. , (United Piess staff correspondent.) London. Sept. 20. Great Britaiu will not force her sons into the army, ex cept as a last resort. But, if conscription is necessary, it is unlikely that a "civil war" or a "so cial revolt ' ' will result, despite the free use of these terms by its oppon ents. This is the judgment of neutral ob servers, who have had an opportunity te study the British mind. Iu this con nection, they remember the general Bri tish proneuess to threaten TclHlion hen confronted with a possibility of enactment of objectionable measures. They recall the time when David l.liyd Georgo's national insurance scheme witt: proposed, and whec hundreds of thou sands swore they .jird never "b'K btomps for them." Cut, they meekly submitted when it came to a show down. Neutrals are atisfied that con tcription would be accepted in the same "vny.
