THEIR WITHDRAWAL COMPLETE Muscovite Ar myNow Believed Ex- tricated from Perilous Posi- tion it Was In. IBEBESI](A CROSSING PLANNED PETROGRAD, Sept. 23.—(Via London.) — The Russian military authorities regard the withdrawal from the very difficult position near Vilna, which for a time seriously menaced a large army, as virtally completed. They assert the Ger- mans have lost 250,000 men in their recent operations in this region. According to jatest Information received here the line now runs from Osmiana to Smorgon, which is on the left bank of the Viliya, west of Vilelka. From Smor- gon the line extends to Lebedevo, protect- ing the Molodechno rallway junction. Thence it paraliels the Vilna-Lida rail- way, crossing the Lida-Molodechno rail- {way, and extenuing across the Gasda {river at a point elghteen miles east of {Lida. The line then runs to Noviny, | Molchad, Milovidy, to the east of Lake Vygonovski and eastward along the Og- inski canal to Lyscha and the junction of the Jasiolda river, with the Wina east of Pinsk. The remainder of the line is unchanged. Russlan officers admit that the new front In the Viina region is interrupted in places. The region to the east of Lida and solth of Molodechne is intersected by a multitude of rivulets. These are embarrassing the German advance, neces- #itgting a detour northward, and oconse- quently co-operation between the German group in the vielnity of Vilna and that near Lida will be difficult. The Russians believe that the Germans contemplate a race for crossings of the Beresina river, particularly at Boriasov, thirty-elght miles northest of Minak, where Napoleon came to grief in 1818 The Red Cross hospitals evacuated Viina in good order. Two local hospitals, with %0 wounded, remained in the eity, it being impossible to move them. Kuropatkin Shares Command of Armies BERLIN, Sept.

Mitchell is a negro. In the course of the conference, which was in the open air under & sizzling sun, somebody asked Mitchell whether mem- bers of the United Mune Workers came to him with thelr griavances against the company. “I don't remember that any unfon men have complained since I was elected representative,” said Mitchell. “I don't belleve Mitchell knows whether they are unmlon men or not,' broke in Rockefellers “I am quite sure the offi- oers of the company don't, and, let me tall you, the Colorado KFuel and Iron eempany doesn't care whether its men belong to the union or mot. “Look here,' he flashed, turning to Griffiths, “do you make any distinotion between union and nonunion men in met. tling the grievances appeal to you by the miners?" *T certainly don't,” repled Griffiths, “Are mot all the men treated allke as long ws they are willlng to work and T persisted The party made the thirty: mile drive trom Trinidad, arriving shortly before 10 o'clock.
