Nemesia Enemy's Big Tuning Movement Meets Effec- tive Resistance in North of Parallelo- gram--Heavy Losses Inflicted Upon Pursuing Armies. Petrograd, Sept: 20.--The main | question now ig whether the Vilna | troops will be able to make good] their retirement from a very difficult | position. Everything was fairly | simple until the Germans cut the | Vilna-Dvinsk railway at Svientsany | and flung a big force of cavalry into | the parallelogram north-east of Vilna bounded. by the railways connecting the junctions of Dvinsk, Polotsk, Molodutchno and Novo Vilask. This | xald heralded a big German turning movement, In the north of the par- allelogram the enemy's cavalry met with effective resistance, and after several fierce engagements with the Russian horsemen they were driver back beyond reach of the Polotsk an- | gle. The one result of their action here was that the Germans were able to capture Vidzy, thirty miles south of Dvinsk, and dig themselves in, | but for the present the Dvinsk oper- ation is of secondary importance for the Germans. Inflicting Heavy Losses. The Russian army of Vilna is now on the narrow outlet along the rail- way passing through Lida to Barano- vitch and upon the Lida the Ger- mans are advancing from Orapy, but the vigor of their advance is met by | the equally vigorous Russians' resis- tance. The Germans are progress- | ing slowly and with heavy losses, and though they have reached Radiun, | sixteen miles north-west of Lida, it | may be hoped that the main body of | the Russian Vilna troops will be able { to fight their way out of the danger | zone before the northern and south- | ern flanks of the enemy meet, Un- til the smoke of the terrible Vilna fighting clears away it is impossible to tell what further object the Ger- mans may have in view in their out- flanking movement, pesides the at- | THE SPORT REVIEW With the National League clocing on Oct. 7th, Philadelphia going strong with a 3 1.2 game lead, look like winners. - "Toronto was possibly the best team in the International Baseball League at the finish and the fans are justly proud of McCaffery, Clymer and the team.

Confidence is felt in the steadiness of the Russian retirement and their ability to escape from the sack in which the Germans had calculated on catrhing them: The chief groun* for this belief is supposed to be tne | inability of tke enemy to bring a) forces large enough to surround cnc Russians.

Watertown, N.Y, Sept. 2].-- A | week of high life in this city and evi- | dently more of it before reaching here, has caused one "Jack" Gervin, | of Gouverneur, to make 'his debut | into the criminal courts here. Gervin | is locked up at the City hall on the { charge of petit larcency, being ar- rested in a lower Court street saloon upon a warrant sworn out by Frank A. Empsall. The alleged theft amounts to $57, which Mr. Empsall charges he procured from him on worthless checks. Gervin is a resident of Gouverneur and. up until recently he had been identified with H. C. VanAllen of that place as a business partner in the clothing firm of Gervin & Van- Allen. According to all accounts Gervin drank heavily and partner- ship was dissolved. Gervin left Gouverneur for Chicago, while his wite and young daughter left for Brockville," Canada, to reside until Gervin secured employment. Gervin became quite well known about town as a 'secret service han for the Canadian Government. Ger- vin told nearly everyone he met that this was his mission. He displayed cards bearing names of Chicago cafes and said he generaly hung around the places in the questionable districts of cities in order to gain information. He says he can speak Dutch and can also understand German. His mission to Chicago, he says, was to. purchase supplies to be sent to Barriefield concentration camp, near Kingston, Ont. He also claims to have stopped at. Cleveland on his way back, where he purchased 12 aytomobile trucks to be sent there. Whenever talking about this to a stranger he would always say he was just about to start for Kingston to report. y Gervin is said to come from a pro- minent family in Ottawa. His fa- ther is in the real estate business and a brother is a clergyman in that city. It is anticipated that a settlement will be made and a suspended sen- tence given Gervin, who will leave for Kingston, Ont. HUN GOLD IN RUSSIA. Believed Td Be Responsible For < Many Strikes.

Rochester, N.Y., Sept. 21.--Eight New York Central detectives engag- ed in a battle with train robbers near Fairport at one o'clock Saturday morning, Joseph Radajczak, 27, of Buffalo, was shot through the abdo- men and is in a dying condition ata hospital here. The attempt was made on a through train from Al- bany to Buffalo, and consisted of 85 cars loaded with merchandise. A mile east of Fairport a torpedo was discharged. The train was stopped. Inasmuch as an effort" was made to hold up the same train two weeks, ago, eight detectives manned it when it left Albany Saturday night. officers started to inspect the train, and in the centre Raymond Rogan, of Syracuse, found a door broken open. As he stepped in front of it three stalwart Poles leaped out upon him. He was borne to the ground, while Radajezak fired J three times at his head. { biijlet made a flesh wound in his side. 'Rogan managed to get his gun and fire "point blank. The bullet struck Radajczak. The others ran. Fellow officers pursued, firing as they ran; and overtook Walter Dyczwinski, a Buffalo car burglar with a record. The others got away. Six care were found with broken seals. Daylight showed that the Lake- shore freight train, bound from New York to Chicago, had been boarded by robbers near Fairport. Boxes of merchandise had been thrown: from the cars and scattered beside the Cen- tral tracks for more than a mile. FRANCE'S CALL FOR GOLD. Much Rivalry In Rural Districts To Bring In the Metal. Paris, Sept. 21.--Through the stir- ring of the local and professional pride in overy part of the country to turn in the largest sums, the volun- tary exchange of gold for paper 'at the Bank of France and its branch- es, which has dropped to 50,000,000 francs ($10,000,000) weekly, has again risen to 6¢,000,000 francs. The railway men have thus far done the most toward swelling the total, and there is also considerable rivalry among parish priests and mayors of cities, who are issuing calls to the public, urging them to give up their gold for their country's sake. As an example, Mayor Ballamy of Nantes posted the following on the bill boards of the city to-day: "Our branch of the Bank of France has taken in fifteen millions in 'gold, but this is not enough. To keep your gold is to betray the hero- es who are giving their blood. Keep your gold and you delay victory. To bring in your gold is to be a good Frenchman. For France, for the honor of Nantes, depésit-your gold." Farmers who came to a Fair at a village in Touraine on Wednesday brought to .a representative of the bank 46,000 francs in two hours. SMALLEST IN THE WORLD. And Yet They Have Staffs and Are It is announced that H. W. Cooper has been appointed manager of the Thousand Islands and Oshawa Rail- way Company, and that J. H. Val- leau has been appointed Secretary- Treasurer of the Thousand Islands Railway, vice Mr. Cooper, assigned to other duties. These two railways says the Mont- real Gazette, are perhaps the small. est in the world. If that antique bit of a line at the Lake of Bays, where they carry the water to the en- gine in pails, be excepted; but, at the same time, they are full of life and abtivity. 'The Thousand Islands road which has a trackage of six miles, runs from the Grand Trunk main line at Gananoque Junction to Gananoque Bay, while the Oshawa road runs between Oshawa, and Osh- awa Junction, about one mile.

Rev. | W. A. Brown, returned on the Pre. | torian to-day for a well-earned rest | "The Dardanelles must and will be | forced," was the summing up of his| impressioff. "The Allies will never | retire, although they. now realize | that Achi{Baba may not be taken by | assault. "It is now heavily engaged | along its front. Kitchener's army, | 300,000 strong, are there, but on too | narrow a front to make such weight | felt, Meantime small French and | Australian forces are working their] way around and will soon cut Achi) Baba off from its base." Speaking of the British' losses, | Chaplain Brown said: "Our losses | some days were incredible, but I can tell you on the best authority that} 10 Turks have fallen for every one] of thé Allies. The Turks are brave fellows in defending trenches, but | are completely lost in the open: At] such times their losses have been ter-| rible, They are fair fighters. They! treated our wounded well and never | 'gassed' us. The reason the Turks] continue to fight in spite of whole-| sale casualties is because they fear| the Germans. Every time the Turks | charge from a trench there are ma-| chine guns behind to blaze into the| trench if it is not immediately eva- cuated. Turkish gunners are now chained to their guns. I have these facts directly from Turkish officers we have captured. The German offi- cers refuse to speak. Great Difficulties. "The difficulties the Allies are fighting under are tremendous. All the water must be brought from the ships in tanks; gullies and ravines have to be bridged to allow the guns and men to cross. There is-a re- gular plague of flies and there are no regular hospitals; just clearing points for the wounded. "But once Achi Baba is taken the Dardanelles are forced. As to pending developments, it is signifi- cant that within six weeks there will be weather conditions which will compel the Allies to advande or leave the peninsula. They will never leave. Just after the fleet had left the Aegean, the German amd Turk aviators pamphletted our lines with the information: that the torrential rains were soon due, making trench life on the 'peninsula impossible. mm A NAAN days of big mileage it has a queer sound to mention a railroad with a mile of trackage, and .which never- circularized, ment, precisely as Trunk and C.P.R. in respect of appoint- are the Grand Generous War Gift.

There was a brand new one, but we captured it. Their presence rendered the stay of the warships impossible, The Tri- umph was an instance of this. The warship was surrounded by about 30 smaller craft and completely shield- ed by netting. One day the captain wished to go ashore in the launch, and to permit of this the nets had to to be lifted. They were not up two minutes, when a torpedo crashed In- to the Triumph. "I also saw the Royal Edward tor- pedoed. She wis on her way from Alexandria, while we were going back on the Soudan. We had hardly passed her when she was hit. Our ship took up 150, of the survivors. The Canadian liner went down head- first very soon aftér she was hit. There were plenty of other vessels near at hand when she sank. "Althongh the difficulties met with have been huge, the soldiers, British and French/ are cheerfully determin-~ ed to see it through, and they know well that in hand-to-hand fighting they are superior to the Turks. "The Australians and New Zea- landers gre greatly liked, along with th inseperable brothers, the Ghur- kas, who love them. 'Po the Ghurkas the. Australians, who are all huge fellows, look like giants. To strangers the troops must look like wild men. They dis- pense with most of their clothing in the blazing sun. Trousers are cut off short, socks are thrown away, on~"# ly undershirts are worn, and in many cases boots are missing. They know big developments are due, and the rank and flle are only too eager to be In at the final spurt." Capt. Brown is going to Regina on leave and hopes to return to the 29th division in two months. Alexandria he says, is swarming with troops of three nationalities. There is no let. up in the work of pushing the attack on the key position. The effort of some weeks ago almost succeeded in cutting off the Turkish army, but failed through lack of transport faci- lities. ADVOCATE REPRISALS Prominent Men Discuss How To Tackle Zeps.
