The text of tho communique follows:
"Last night saw a bombardment con

from trench to trench with grenades and
bombs.
"On the canal between tho Alsne and

"On both a des of the post of Saptgneil

with a vry heavy downpour of rain.
Fortunately, however, it cleared off be
fore yery many of the contestants had
started on their Journay,
However, the course'was rendered very
heavy and there was practically no run
to the ball. Mrs. Clarence H. Vander
beek. the national champion, again proved
that she is playing better golf this sea
son than at any time during her career
by securing low score with a 92.
This Fas a decidedly good score con
sidering the conditions prevailing, and
but for a poor llnlah she would have
been considerably under DO. Going out
the champion took 48 strokes and coming
in she played magnificent golf to the ltth
hole. Here st)e took a 7, but on the next
hole she found lots of trouble and blew In
an 8. Finishing up wfth a 6, she took U

PETROGRAD, Sept. 21,
The Vllna army, under command of
General Evert, has escaped from the en
veloping movement of the German armies,
a dispatch received from army headquar
ters this afternoon states that the re
treat of the Russhlan troops Is now proceeding-
under normal and favorable con
ditions. "The situation of the Vllna forces Is
good, thanks to the heroism of the rear
guard, which obstinately defended the
Vllna-Llda railway," sMa the dlrpatch.
'This railway was ke.pt perfectly free of
the enemS and the retreat Is going on

"The Russians repulsed the Germans
trying to cross the Vllna-Mlnsk and 811-letoe-Llda,;
-railways, steadfastly holding
their ground despite hey 'losses and
withstanding terrific assaults.
"The Germans seem convinced that the
effort to encircle the Russians has failed
and are hastening their efforts south
ward, trying to cut the Baranovltscho
Minsk railway. This effort was up3et by
a defeat administered to Prince LeopclJ'i
troops south pf Slonlm, part of his forces
being captilrcd. fc
Great German siege guns are now bat
tering away at tho fortifications of
Dvinsk, the great Russian fortress on
the Dvlna River.
After desperate resistance by the Rus
sians west of the Dvina, the troops of
Field Marshal von Illndenburg have suc
ceeded In bringing up their 18-lnch can
non. A terrflc bombardment Is now In
progress.
German aeroplanes are flying over
Dvinsk, dropping bombs upon the Rus
sian batteries and directing the siege of
the Teuton guns According to the latest
reports, several (Ires have been started in
Dvinsk.
Before the bombardment opened the
great mass of the civil population had
left the city In response to warnings by

LIKELY WINNERS
All Indications Favor Their
Nominations for Mayor
in Primary Fight
BIG VOTE COMING LATE
Judging by ,he vote cast during the
morning and the early hours of the after
noon, there Is every Indication that the
mayoralty nominees will be:
nepubllcnn Thomas II. Smith.
Washington George D. Porter.
Democratic B. Gordon B rentier.
Keystone James E. Gorman,
Director Porter Is polling a much heavier
vote than his opponent for the Washing-!
ton party nomination. Colonel Sheldon
Potter, in all parts of the city. Both Por
ter and Potter are receiving an unexpect
edly heavy vote on the Republican ticket
DECI8IVB VOTE LATE.
The Republican Organization leaders are
anxiously waiting to see the size of the
ote cast between 1 and 1 o'clock this
evening. Upon that vote, they figure, will
depend Smith's chances for election in
November. They expect a large part of
jthe Independent vote to be cast between
those hours, and should Porter receive
one-third of the total vote cast for the
Republican ticket, they will fear for
Smith's chances at the general election.
Chief Interest in the primary election
today centres around the nomination of
party candidates for Mayor, regardless
of the many ward contests that are di
verting attention In all parts of the city.
The vast amount of contracts for publlo
Improvements that are to be awarded
during the (enure of the next administra
tion makes the selection of the next
Mayor of Philadelphia of paramount im
portance to the citizens, and every party
is bending every effort today to bring out
an enormous vote for Its candidates.
Colonel Sheldon Potter, who is opposing
Director of Publlo Safety George p. Por
ter for the Independent' nomination, and
Thomas II. rlmlth, thw Organization
"harmony" candidate, closed their prim
ary campaigns last night with last hour
appeals to the1 voters.
