st. Petersburg, Aug. 28.-With
the Russian armies in close proxim-

Danzig, it is officially announced here
that after the bloody battle of Gum

decided to abandon practically the
entire region east of the river Oder,
concentrating their defenses on the
banks of this river in last effort
to save their capital. For this rea-
son it is believed that no pitched
battle will be fought until the in
vading armies are approaching Ber-
