ATHLETICS SPLIT WITH NAPS; RED SOX DEFEAT GERMANS, BIG VICTORY IN DVINSKSECTOR Continue Encircling Move ment Aimed at Slavs Re treating From Vilna ISOLATING FOE IN SOUTH HEREIN, Sept. 20. German troops have Inflicted another severe defeat upon the Russians south west of Dvlnsk, while the encircling move ment around Vllna continues. The Blavs have been driven back through the Novo Alexandrovsk region toward the bridgehead at Dvlnsk, the War Office announced this afternoon. Co-operating In their efforts to sur round and capture a great Russian army near Vllna, Field Marshal von Hlnden fcurg and Prince Lcopod .of Bavaria have won further marked successes,, the German Gereral Staff reported today. The armies of -both the .German leaders are ;'4drlvlng forward, von IHndenburg on the .''.'Russians' north flank, where he has ': "reached the DJedntki-HolJane line, and s Prince Leopold on the south, where he Is approaching the Myschanka district after reaching Dworzec. While Berlin gave Itself up to rejoicing today, over the capture of the Russian stronghold of Vilna, military experts pre dicted the early capture of the Russian army of a quarter of million men that his been trapped by tho Teutonic forces In. the railway triangle, ""whose points are bounded by Vilna,, LIda and Molo- detschno. k complete German victory in that, region, together with the shattering of the, Russians' third line of defense, Is declared to be. only a matter of days. Victory for von HIndenbUrg east of Vllna means not only another retirement for the Russians, but also the separation - ef'the Russian, northern armies-from the. southern forces. Although the .Russians have achieved . some local successes in the"Volhynlan triangle, on the Galtclan frontier, opera tions, there are regarded of secondary 1m " portance. Another great German victory In the northern field would relieve the Russian pressure on the Gallclan fron tier, and already the Russians on the Btrlpa River have been fought to a. stand still by the Austro-Hungarlan forces.' With the capture of Dvlnsk two possi . bllHIes are opened and the General Staff may choose either one: "first A campaign to take Petrograd. Second. The establishing of a German front on the Dvlna (Duna) River for the winter. WHBUR DAVIS, WILD AS MARCH HARE, GIVES AWAY GAME TO NAPS Erratic Hurling Responsible for Loss of Second Athletics t.

They will hold their blggesf. rally of the campaign In the 46th Ward. A lively fight Is promised at the polls tomorrow, The flght will center chiefly on councllmanlc contests In most of the wards, and a bitter contest on the non partisan ballot for the nominations for two places in Court of Common Pleaa No. 2. The men in chargi of the independent campaign spent too.y perfecting their organization in every ward, and in tak ing steps to get out the largest' possible vote tomorrow. Tor their final wind-up of the primary campaign, the Republican Organization leadens will hold the 46th Ward meeting. The candidates on the Organization slate, from Thomas B. Smith down to the candidates for County Commissioner, will be the speakers at this rally. The rally has been planned as a last hour effort to prevent the 46th Ward, which has always gone strongly inde pendent whenever tho Organization has thought It nad clear sailing there, from going against Smith and the other Or ganization candidates tomorrow. In the contest for the places in Com mon Pleas No. 2, four candidates will, probably be nominated, out of a field of 17. The- Organization Is backing Joseph P. Rogers and Henry N. Wessel for the two vacancies, 'although the spirit of the non partisan law Is that no politics enter Into the Judiciary fights. Judge D, Webster Dougherty, against whom the Organization leaders are fighting,- is rapidly developing strength of Ma awn. He is backed by a great many of the leading members of the Phllddel-1 phla bar ami may mna a nomination. City Solicitor Michael J, Ryan is also running high in the race. ' v The iawyers' Committee, which is con ducting the campaign for the re-election of Judge Dougherty, has appealed to ltftOW voters to cast their ballots for Judge' Dougherty, because of 'his frecord as a Judge and as a protest against the participation of political rtnga hi non partisan 'ftghts.

Sept 20.-Havlng settled the chief details of the arrangements un der which a great American syndicate will underwrite a loan of several hundred mil lion dollars In this country for the Allies, members of the Anglo-French Financial Commission today undertook another task with .which they have been intrusted by 4 thIf -respective OoverhhiqitsVnantely, jtho I nttrnhniiii Anmmiit'ltlnn 1 lui viiaoo ui ttiiiiiiuiiitjuiifi Fronl Information, believed- to have been inspired by members of the Allies' commission or tho American financiers negotiating with them, It had been de duced that the great loan' to be obtained in the United States would be used to purchase only the necessities of life, wheat, corn, meat, clothing, etc., and that the funds so derived should not be used to pay for munitions Of war. But conferences, held by the commissioners at the Blltmore Hotel today, Indicated that this Impression' was erroneous. Representatives of American arms and ammunition makers called at the hotel and were taken up, to tho commissioners' quarters as soon as they appeared. It Is understood they discussed with the chief members of the commission the renewal of the contracts they now have for tho manufacture of munitions, which were made through J. P. Morgan, arid the mak ing of new contracts. The munition1 and arms men were asked to furnish new figures as to how great a quantity of war supplies they could fur nish Immediately and how much witnln two years. They were given to under stand that fresh contracts would be Signed before the commissioners left New York. Up to the present time payments for war munitions have been made In cash upon delivery of the contract goods, but payments are now to be delayed for 60 days, or even longer. Today's callers were asked to communi cate with their companies and ascertain what their attitude on the changed sys tem would be. Two of the callers stopped to discuss the matter after leaving the conference, but they fled when the news paper men asked for further details, say ing, that It anything were printed It would be denied.

CwUettateJ M Twe, aft $1.20 TAX RATE MAY BE NEEDED FOR EXPENSES Members of Councils Point to Increased Expendi tures as Cause LOANS WILL BE COSTLY A tax rate of $1.20 may be authorized by City Councils to meet the Increased financial -needs of the city for the next year, according to members not on the Finance Committee. Members of that committee Insist that the present rate of H will stand next year, despite Increases In estimates for next year's needs, com piled by departmental heads and bureau chiefs. A meeting of the Finance Committee of Councils likely will bo held before the close of Uie week for the threefold purpose of discussing a permanent loan, the start of preliminary work on the Convention Hall and looking over the estimates submitted for next year's municipal activities. De partmental heads have been asked tb sub mit their estimates In duplicate so that one set can be sent to Comptroller John M. wauon and another to the Finance Committee for the usual process of paring down. These estimates will be In the hands of -the financiers before the end of tho week. Mombfirs of Councils no on ihe Flnanc Committee freely predict liie necessity for an increase of the tax fate to JtM or thereabouts. In defence of this view, they point to the fact that not only will money have to' be found by taxation to meet the Increased needs of departments, but also to provide for tho cost of the new loans that have been floated and that are now being proposed. It Is virtually certain that Mayor Blankenburg's request for a loan of tt.2J0.000 for tlfo Frankford elevated will be used as the basis for a permanent loan of a much greater sum so as to Include provision tor a number of permanent mu nicipal Improvements now under " way. City Solicitor Ryan Is of the opinion that no permanent loan can be authorized and voted on by the people for a sum In ex. Cf so of 'the present borrowing 9qpacltyQf1 nip cuy. uui xncmuers oi me finance Committee do not stiaro his views and assert that-n lolttrtfan be aUthorlied in excess of its! borrowing capacity and in anticipation of the Increase In that figure next year. This point will have to be set tled In the near future. A city official who, for obvious reasons, would not permit his name to be used, today stated that an increase In the tax rite would almost certainly follow the election. From the same source It was learned that the' tax-rate squpstlon will be ignored until after the ballots are counted. Most of the present mem bers of City Council were elected on "no tax-rate Increase" platform. ACCUSED OF ELECTION FRAUD V Democratic Registrar in Senator Pen rose's Division Is Held One' arrest for Illegal registration In Senator Penroso's division, in the Sth Ward, and an announcement by Director Porter that the police would combat at tempts" of the "gang" to Intimidate Jew ish voters were recorded today on the eve of the primary elections.
