Russian Authorities
 Withdraw from Poland

New York, Aug. 24.--Count Johann Won Bernstorff, German ambassador to the United States, announced upon his arrival here today from Rotter- dam that his government had been informed that Russian civil and mill tary authorities had withdrawn from Poland and that the Poles had set up an independent government with Warsaw as it's capital
 Count Won Bernstorff left Berlin on August II. At that time, he said. the German government had reports that not a Russian soldier had been left in Poland. This report. Count Won Bernstorff added, was general throughout Berlin.
 ''1 do not know what sort of gov- ernment the Poles set up" he said, nor do l vouch for the aeuLracy of the report. We were infors1xR. how. ever, that the Russian army pro- ceeding against Germany was to- strike through Russia north or Po- land and invade East Prussia. This appears to have been borne out by subsequent reports of the Russian in- vasion.''
 Cable despatches from St. Peters burg two weeks ago stated that the czar had promised autonomy to Po- land in return for its support of tho Russian arms.
