garia's Course
Petrograd, Sept. 20. 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

icplied with a sharp fire.

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.

Conscription advocates were encour
aged by the speech of J. H. Thomas,
niomber of parliament at Deptford, in
dicating that if conscription is shown
to be tho onlv means of saving tho om-
pire from an inglorious pence, working
men will not oppose it.
Lloyd-George's letter, addressed to
one of his constituent, said that the
government Is thoroughly examining the

that England is facing a grave crisis

that if the government stated a clear
