GERMANS DELAYED
ATTACK ON WARSAW

Petrograd, Oct. 81. -(via Lon
don)-Failure by the Germans to
utilize an opportune moment for
an attack on Warsaw, after they
had approached within eight
miles without being discovered,
turned the tide of the German
invasion of Russian Poland, &C.
cording to reliable advices re-
ceived from the front today.
Russian generals are absolute
ly at a loss to explain the Ger
man strategy in delaying a night
attack until the opportunity was
lost. They express admiration
Of Gen. Won Morger's lightning
advance of five German army
corps over the difficult swampy
region approaching Warsaw from
the southwest. Almost within
sight of the city, however. the
enemy suddenly decided to delay
the attack, and that allowed the
Siberian and other Russian rein
forcements to give adequate pro-
lection.
The Russian generals also have
expressed admiration of the Ger
mans abrupt eXtrication when
they found themselves outfank-
ed, their retreat being so COM
plete and precipitate that the
Russians were unable to over
take and engage the rear guard
in action for several miles.
Inhabitants of Warsaw say the
dropping of German bombs,
which never were very damag-
ing, has ceased.
