LJOW VILNA HAS ESCAPED—So Far. The Germans in** their wonderful campaign in Poland have been using alltheir strength in an effort to capture Riga, the great portwhich is the key to Petrograd. Vilna, an important strong-hold on the Rovno-Petrograd railway, has so far escaped theGerman steam roller, as the map shows.< ADIUU.

After a year of such fighting asthe world has never seen, no onescemr to know definitely whattrifle influenced von Kluek to turnhack troin the very gates of Paris.Tht Germans' recent repulse onthe road to Petrograd was equallymysterious. A last letter fiom threat-ened Vilna offers this delightful ex-planation.

of Russia depended on that skilful,steady retirement, but It left poor
Vilna open to the enemy.
Behind Warsaw the Coasarks hadeluded the little nippers of local en-emy attacks; could whole Russianarmies escape the giant pincers withwhich Von Hindenburg was tryingto entrap the Grand Duke?
Failure meant a Russian debacle,
the surrender of 500,000 men. Oer-msn sur«ess depended on the speedwith which the German armies clos-ed In upon Vilna.
The goose girl*, realising thesethings, prepared to drive their thou-biuds of birds before the advancingarmy. To prevent the geese get-ting footsore and thin on the longJourney, they were made to goosestep through warm tar and after-wards in fine sand. Thus provides!with perfectly fitted l»oots. the 20-pound birds could comfortablymarch Into Russia without havingto cackle for a chiropodist. Whenall were shod the enormous flocks.-darted to east and north along the100-foot-widp rattle roads.
Moving with snail-like slowness,resting in devastated fields at night-fall. one great contingent was sud-denly surrounded by the vanguardof a German army. They werecruelly exhausted men. marchinginto n vacuum, anticipating a wick*ed winter campaign, and powerlessto shako themselves free of tirelessfoe. And the sight of 5,000 finelyfattened geese proved too great atomptntion.
The goose girls fled to spread thealarm, a goose massacre followed.In a Hire the wide plain was dottedfar and wide with tiny ramp (Ires.
Hours later the Invaders, fed upwith Vilna geese, goose-stepped to-ward Vllnn, But they advanced too
late Secrecy, suddenness and sur-prise were essential for their suc-cess. The Russian front, forewarn-ed. rushed forward by motor to thecounter attack. Artillery of all cali-bers flung hack the Hlndenburglordcs.
The nameless engagement, "a
mere meeting of covering com-panies.” may not live in militaryhistory. Rut In the opinion of Po-Jlsh refugees, a flock of roast geesesaved VUna.

ILubrication Without Oil or Grease. ;
What promises to be a most revo-lutionary discovery in the mechani-cal world was revealed today In astatement by the Dann Spring In-sert company, Chicago, that Itwould soon put on the market abearing that will lubricate withoutoil and a bushing that will lubri-cate without grease.
Though unconfirmed, the name ofthis substance or process is said tothe Amalgamlte, and Is described as '
the Velvet Bearing. Amalgamlte Is'said to he indestructible and ever- 1lasting, unaffected by heat, cold,;water, steam and shock, truly abearing and lubricant of universal *
