Russians yesterday occupied Larien-
burg in East Prussia, % miles south
east Of Danzig.
An Exchange Telegraph's 81. Pet
ersburg dispatch says the German
troops retreating in the direction of
Osterode. East Prussia, left behind 100
pieces of artillery
Russians Face Strong Fortresses.
The Incurslon of large bodies OF
Russian troops into the German pro-
the capture of important positions OF
Gumbinnen and Insterburg, bring
them in front OF a series OF more or
less strongly fortified German cities,
placed strategically 10 the east of the
river Vistula and between IL and the
frontier.
Among these fortresses one OF the
first in importance is Koenigsberg, on
the gulf OF Danzig, a fortress OF the
first class. The city contains about
200, 900 inhabitants and was formerly a
Polish possession.
Thorn is another first class fortress
guarded by large numbers OF OUTLYING
works. 1t is southwest OF Koenigsberg
on the Polish frontier.
Allenstein, is, IL anything, stronger
even than Thorn. II is regarded as a
place of concentration for a field
army. Allenstein was the scene OF u
victory in 1907. 1t lies equi- distant
between Thorn and Koenigsberg the
three cities forming the first fortified
line on the eastern German frontier.
Far to the north on the Vistula lies
Danzig, great naval station and
fortress. 1t has a population OF about
1906 and a considerable garrison.
To the south OF the Russian line OF
advance on the left wing OF the Rus
sian army lies Posen. a strongly for
titled city. formerly part OF Poland,
which is occupied by a garrison whose
whose composition is unknown, but
whose strength is believed to be very
great. Between Danzig and Posen on
an unknown line lie the two fortresses
OF Bromberg.
other small fortified places on the
line Of advance are Marienburg, with
a small garrison OF artillery, which
was formerly a fortress of the knights
Templar; Kulam, Dirschau, a small
place which was plundered and burned
by the French in 1907; Braunmsberg.
which is occupied by a fusillier bat
talon and was the scene OF victory
in 1907 by Bernadotte over the Rus
slams.
All these places were originally Pol
ish, most of them becoming Prussian
territory when Poland was divided in
1872 among Russia, Austria and Prus-
STA. Most OF the inhabitants still
speak the Polish language.

SPARKlERS WILL SOAR.
Belgium, Now Wruns by War, Cuts
Many Stones.

New York, Aug. 26.-Another COM
modify which is likely TO be affected
by the war prices" is diamonds. They
have not advanced in price yet. but
the futher Importation Of the precious
stones will be retarded for some time,
according TO the New York dealers.
Some importers say that no rise will
come for awhile because Of the fact
that large purchases were made
abroad FOR the American account be-
fore the new tariff went into effect.
Others declare that the stock now in
the United States has reached a very
low point.
That scarcity OF diamonds will
prevail here in the event OF long war
appears certain, however, because the
London syndicate, which is said TO con-
troll the worlds supply, will not take
rough stones from the African mines
during the European war. Belgium
cuts 30 per cent Of the worlds dia-
monds, and Holland ranks second. In
surance just at present makes ship
ments Improbable. Austria is the
source Of the largest supply of imita-
ton stones. American concerns may
profit by the stoppage Of this supply.

over the possible entry OF Turkey in

fetal advices 10 the American govern
ment from various sources.
Turkey has not yet given Great
Britain, France and Russia a salts

ers Goeben and Breslau. When II was
first reported that Turkey had pur-
chased the vessels, Great Britain,
