Berlin makes the positive announce

while Petro2rad admits that the sit

If the fail of the city is fact, 1t
indicates that communication with
Warsaw again is seriously menaced,

trograd declares that the Russians
are strong enough to hold the invad-
ers in northern Poland and will con-
tent themselves with doing this while
devoting their main energies to the
reduction of Cracow and the invasion
of Hungary.
Hungary, according to reports from
the Russian capital, is the weak point
in the armor of the Teuton allies.
These messages from Petrograd say
that even as early as at the time OF
the fall of Lemberg Austria asked
Russia for terms of peace.

and placing 1t on top of the five 81
bills, which the clerk had not yet
taken from the counter, he requested

the province Of Shima, on the south

employed as divers. Stripped to the
waist, they enter the water at all sea-
