The same dispatch adds:

St. Petersburg. Aug. T.-The general
stan issued this official announcement
today:
The Russian advance into Prussia is
Irresistible"
A large force of German troops that
was cut off from Koenigsberg by the
rapid advance Of the Wilma army has con-
centrated at Osterode on Lake Drewenz.
There II has thrown up Notifications,
which the Russians are moving to attack.
An unofficial report here today said
the city Of TiIsit. northeast Of Roenigs-
berg, had been captured by the Russians
and that the German forces in the EIb-
ing district were retreating to Danzig.
This city is at the mouth Of the Vistula
River and only thirty-five miles from
Elbing-
Danzig is strongly fortified and II is
probable that no attempt will be made
TO take II by storm, but that II will be
thoroughly invested.
These rapid movements seal the fate
of the central Qualifications Of Germany

the general staff.

This is what you should do to shed a
spoiled complexion: Spread evenly over

Let this stay on over night: wash it on
next morning. Repeat daily until your
complexion Is as clear, soft. and beauti-
full as a young girls. This result Is in

Pre- DROP EXPECTED

Chicago, Aug. N.-The question as to
whether the longs In wheat would be
enabled to sell out without taking severe
losses was the topic OF conversation in
all parts OF the Board OF Trade after
the close today. Eastern spectators as
well as the public at large are carrying
big loads Of May wheat. and some OF
them have lines of the nearer futures.
While foreigners are still long on good
sized lines OF wheat in this market, they
reduced their holdings the past few days
by taking profits 1t will take new and
persistent buying to hold wheat where
1t now stands. With increased offerings
the buying power is likely TO show a fall
ing OF which would mean sharp price
recessions along the whole line.
One fact that was clearly demon
strated today was that the market was
in an overbought condition, and that
the average professional or room
trader was waiting for chance to
take profits. Resting spots for the day
showed net losses of 1-Sc to 5-Sc. and
while there were good reactions from
the bottom prices the surrounding cir
cumstances were against the price for
the moment. The big upturn seen in
the Chicago pit during the earlier days
OF this week completely cut on the ex-
and dry, without an outlet for the cash
article. There were only 10000 bushels
of wheat sold at Chicago today TO
mi1lers, and the export business was
fat, with the bids generally out Of
line.
Grain Rid Up Scientifically.
The early sensational upturn in wheat
was accountable for only in one way
and that was those who were enabled
to secure that grain today competed in
the market early and bid II up in a most
sensational manner. This buying was
probably on outside account and the
foreigner filled up all those wanting
wheat and secured handsome profits A
great deal OF capital was made of the
probability OF higher prices later on, hut
the more conservative men figure that
the advance has been too sharp, that the
general speculative world Is long on
wheat, and that a price setback must
be looked for.
Corn was carried sharply higher by
the early excitement in wheat, but when
the latter broke the market for the
yellow cereal likewise COLLAPSED. Resting
spots for the day were 1-2 cent lower
for the September delivery and IA to SIS
cents higher for deferred months. 1t

LuII in Exporting Oats.
There was a lull in the export business
in oats today, partly because OF a sharp
advance in prices early. but chiefly be-
cause of the inability OF cash men to
supply oats for immediate forwarding.
Recent sales have taxed the capacity
of sellers facilities for the present and
