LIKE FLIGHT FROM WARSAW Deep Concérn is Felt in London for Safety of Retiring Russian Foroes, to ""‘;conm BLOW IS NECESSARY LONDON, Sept. 20.—The Russian army menaced since the fall of Vilna Ly the German encircling movement |is estimated variously at 260,000 to 500,000 men. The conditions under which the Russians are attempting to oxtricate themselves furnish a strik- ing parallel to those which followed the capture of Warsaw. They may P|r\‘r|nl(nlv one of the greatest, If not |the greatest, battle which has been fought on the eastern front. Although no officlal confirmation has been recelved in London from Petrograd of the fall of Vilna, the press has accepted the German readily in view of the situation had been developing. Concern s clatm Bo far as can be Judged Field Mafshal von Hindenburg's troops have flung a loop about the Russians over a front of some 200 miles, and are not only in their rear, but are menacing seriously the single rallway line and the few available wagon roads stretching to the south, As was the case at Warsaw, the num- ber of Russian prisoners left behind with the evacuation of Viina was not great. Apparently the only Way in which the retiring forces may amellorate the seem- inkly bad situation is by a counter blow. One Chance for Return Blow. It §s pointed out that Von Hindenburg's cavalry has penetrated so deeply into hos- tile country as to create a sallent open to sudden attack, If the Russians should be able to command reinforcements at the proper time and place, but it is not be- lleved here that his opponents are in a position to deal such a blow effectively. There 1s 4 great deal of speculation as to the German objective. Opinfon is di- ided whether Von Hindenburg will seek merely to close his loop, thus capturing the army within the net, or, not content with this, will press eastward toward Minsk, ang from the west through Slont In an effort to reproduce the encircling movement on a more gigantic scale and again try for a decisive victery, Similar taotics attempted after the fall of War- saw met with fallure. The Russians are employing their familiar rear guard tac: tios and the hope Is expressed in the British press that they will be able to fight, thelr way out without shattering lonses. Next to Warsaw, Vilna is the most im- portant town in Western Russla.
