CALL SHIP SEIZURE ILLEGAL / fwtitunt Oppression of American Commerce and Blockade of Neutral Ports Is Denounced in Latest Me»- sage as Unjustified by World Law. Washington, Sept. 20.--President Wilson and Secretary of State Lan­ sing conferred at length on Friday on the completed note of thiB 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 pattihg it into pres­ ent form, are: That aB the United States has re­ peatedly and consistently denied spe­ cifically every one of the Justifications 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 op­ pression of American commerce as un­ friendly. That Great Britain acted Illegally when she took cases of seizure and de­ tention out of the domain of diplomacy anc made them merely matters for the British prize courts. That the argument by Great Britain for such action is indefensible, because it is based on the order in council, iriiich is Itself in illegal policy. That the establishment of a block­ ade under the order in council which ipretends to include neutral porta. Is toot justified by international law on Ithe mere suspicion that neutral porta may be made,the basis for unneutral acts. 5 That the contention of Great Britaia that cargoes may be seized and de­ tained 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 wonld not tolerate acts such as in the packers' case, which were based on the illegal withdirwal of questions of seizure and detention from the cate­ gory of diplomatic questions. The United States has In fact filed Its caveat putting Oreat Britain on no­ tice. It is stated that there is in the note no suggestion of an ultimatum or a de­ mand for a definite answer from Oreat Britain within any specified STEFANSSON, EXPLORER, SAFE Discovers New Land Southwest of 8L .Patrick Island--Was on Ice for Seven Months. fe.: Nome, Alaska, Sept. 20.--The power schooner Ruby arrived from Herschel island, on the Arctic coarst west of t$e mouth of the Mackenzie river with news that Vilhjalmur Stefansson. the Canadian explorer, who with two companions, Storker Storkerson and Ole Anderson, set out from Martin Point, Alaska, March 22, 1914, over the frozen Polar ocean to search for supposed new lands in the Beaufort sea, is not only alive and well, but has accomplished every purpose for which the hazardous Journey was under­ taken. Capt 8. F. Cottle, master of the Ruby, says that StefanBson is on Banks land, east of the Mackenzie, outfitting for continuance of the ex­ plorations to the westward to ascer­ tain the full extent of the new land he discovered southwest of St. Pat­ rick island. Stefansson discovered a - csctisuance of the continental shelf several degrees west of Banks land 'and even determined Its southern lim- , its, but was unable to continue his -deflorations to the north and west BIG WAR FUND FOR BRITAIN M IS CAPTURED GREAT RAILWAY CENTER OF RUS> 8IA FALLS--SLAVS FLEE FROM V GERMANS. v . * • • ' - ' V , • •j-ycr v & > TERRIFIC BATTLE IS FOUGHT Field Marshal Von Hindenburg Now Controls Route to Petrograd and Moscow--Czar Loses Important Rail Lines--Defenders Are Routed. Berlin, Sept. 21.--Vilna, the (feat railroad and industrial center of north­ western Russia, has fallen before the German drive, which has taken 15 great cities and fortresses since the capture of Warsaw, capital of Poland. The goal upon which the eyes of General von Hindenburg and all Ger­ many has been set since Warsaw was entered, was captured Sunday by the forces of General von Eichhorn, which have been fighting stubbornly eastward since their capture of Kovno three w^eks ago. The most desperate Russian resistance encoun­ tered in the entire German offensive has been crushed, and Germany now holds the key to the vital railroad sys> tem of Russia. The coveted lateral railway from Rovno in the south to Riga in the north, with lines extending from Vilna to Petrograd, Moscow, Odessa and through the very heart of Rus sia is now controlled by German forces. The capture of Vilna, a town of 170,- 000 population, and one of the manu­ facturing centers of Russia, is the sev­ enteenth similar success attained since the German drive, which started on May 2 against Przemysl, has crossed into German soil near Warsaw and the Lublin-Cholm line in southern Poland. The actual capture of Vilna, though predicted as imminent since the fall of Brest-Litovsk several weeks ago. appears to have been accomplished at last by a desperate rush of General von Eichhorn's forces, aided by a simultaneous offensive by Generals von Scholz and von Gallwits 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 troDps was surrounded and captured.

New York, Sept. 21.--Doctor Dumba, Austro-Hungarian ambassador, has ad­ dressed to Secretary of State Lansing a letter protesting the request for his recall as unjust.

Products Owned by American Paekers Are Declared Forfeited to the Crown by TrlbunaL London, Sept. 18.--Chicago packers ware defeated in the British prize court when that tribunal handed down a de­ cision on Thursday confiscating to the crown large American cargoes taken from merchantmen. The prize court held that these cargoes were ultimate­ ly destined for Germany, to be used by that country for her army and navy. The firms whose contentions were overruled by the court were Armour ft Co.. Swift ft Co.. Nelson Morris ft Co. and the Schwartzschild-Sulzberger company.
