JAMES, Fitzgerald, Ga. % Geneva, Sept., 18—The Lausanne Gazette says it has learned that the German government has decided to issue a declaration annexing to the German empire the occupied territoriesin France and Belgium. The Gazette says this measure has been determined upon for the near future, because it now appears impossible that the war will be ended, as had been hoped, before winter. , According to this newspaper the German government intends to organize the conquered territory from a political and administrational standpoint, which is expected to strengthen Germany’s moral position Civil administration had been slowly replacing military rule in the occupied regions and the Gazette continues, this progress will be ex tended methodically. : ‘ The German ambassador at Washington has been given full powers, according to Berlin dispatches, to arrange terms for com plete settlementiof the submarine dispute,’and Berlin afficials are confident an early agreement will result. Foreign Minister Von Jagow, in an interview, said that while Germany could not well repudiate the report of its submarine com mander, the evidence furnished by the United States regarding the sinking of the Arabic would be given careful consideration. There was room for a diflerence of opinion, he declared. The Foreign Minister said the whole government stood behind the policy that passenger steamers would not be attacked without warning if they respected the maritime code, and that -explicit in structions to that effect had been given submarine commanders, A joint note;has been delivered to Bulgaria by the entente allies asking in effect that Bulgaria define her position, making it clear whether she casts her lot with the allies or with the central powers, The note is not an ultimitum, but is said to be of such a nature that Bulgaria scarcely can avoid making known her determination. The Russian city of Vilna, which the Russians have held so studbornly, been nearly surrounded by German troops and its fald g2ems imminent. Von Hindenburg’s forces have broken through at several points west of Vilna and are driving the Russians before them, according to Germany army headquarters. Only one rail road outlet, that to Lida, remains to the Russians, In the fight for Dvinsk the Germans claim to have captured outlying positions during attacks on the Russian bridgehead. Von Mackensen, after capturing Pinsk and clearing the marshes nearby of the Russians, is driving further on and taking numerous prisoners. In the south, where the Russians still claim to be on the offen sive, gaining victories and making important captures, Berlin de-~ clares German troops have begun to drive the Russians back. On the western front, Paris reports a continuance of artillery engagements. Berlin says a French attempt to recapture a trench sector near Perthes was frustrated. Workmen on strike in Petrograd factories have been notified to return to work forthwith under penalty of court-martial, A Vienna official statement admits a retirement of the Austrian forces in the sector of the fortress tringle of Rovno, Dubno and Lutsk in Volhynia. In the face of superior numbers of Russian ltroops the Austrians have fallen back to prepare positions further west.
