Embassy Calls Grossly Exag-
gerated" Announcement of Cap
ture of Cars Troops.

The Russian embassy has given out an
official statement characterizing as
grossly exaggerated the recent an
nouncement by the German foreign office
that many THOUSAND Russian prisoners
had been captured in the fighting around
Ortelsburg. in east Prussia Denial is
made also of reported troubles in the
Caucasus. at Odessa and in Finland"

Discourages General Delivery.
With reference to the abandonment of
the Post Office building on Pennsylvania
avenue. it was explained at the new Of
flee today that in the opinion of the Of
ficials the mall facilities Of the business
section would not suffer. The department
has for some time been endeavoring to
discourage the delivery of mail at the
general delivery, one of the facilities
which it was said would suffer, as well
as that to boxholders.
But the carrier service, it was ex-
planned, will be the same, except that
mails arriving at a later hour could be
handled in each delivery, and when the
new motors cars are in operation car
riers can be put on their routes on time.
The big financial stations at station G.
which will be moved to the LIE Droit
building, at Sth and streets northwest,
October 1, and at station C, which will
go to 1919 New York avenue northwest
December 1, it was believed, will care for
the needs of the business section better
than ever before.

Consular dispatches from the Kongo

Reports from Bulgaria say no Amer

Reumania Announces Attitude.
Roumania has announced officially that
if she abandons her position of neu-
trality it will be to follow the course
taken by Italy.
Great Britain has informed the United
States that she would look with favor
on the sending of American warships
to Turkish ports to care for Christians
in case there was a Mohammendan up
rising against them.
German and Austrian consular off
GERS have been ordered by British au-
thorities to leave Egypt at once.
These developments in the highly
critical situation brought about by the
feeling of the triple entente that Tur-
key is certain to join the conflict on
the side of Germany and Austria were
conveyed in official dispatches to the
United States government.
Turkey has felt certain that Bulgaria
would fight with her, but the announce
ment of Roumania, it is thought, may
affect change. With Greece Servia,
Montenegro, Italy and Roumania Joined
solidly against the Ottoman empire.
Bulgaria's Slavic sympathies may cause
her to withhold from the conflict en-
tirely.
strict censorship on press dispatches
is maintained at Constantinople and mes
sages from diplomats are few.
The issue as to whether Turkey will
join the conflict may depend finally on
the attitude of the Balkan states and
Italy. The announcement by Roumania
of her intention to follow Italy was re-
garded as meaning that both countries
would side with Great Britain, France
and Russia. Roumania's position is some
what of a surprise. for it was believed
she might be swayed by her secret al
lance 18th Austria. Her opposition to the
porte, however, has determined her pol
icy.

Raids of Russian Cavalry.

"By means of raids made by our cav

stations Of Korschen and Rastenburg. At
the latter place a large amount of rolling

Of the River Vistula two German ar

goes through Koln, Seradz. Petrokow and

Increase in Galician Territory.

"In Galicia the scope of our victory at
Loow increases as detailed reports come
in and our advance proceeds; in the
pursuit following the rout of the I'd Aus
TRAN army on our way from Galicz on
ward we again found abandoned field
guns to the number of thirty-one.
"Our reverse August 80 and 81 near
Ortelsburg was of a local character,
having no bearing on the general situa-
ton. The news circulated from German
sources as to the number Of prisoners
and the significance of this German sue
cess are, as usual, grossly exaggerated.
Public opinion in Russia is absolutely
calm, intensely patriotic and full of I'M
shakable faith. Needless to say that the
rumors which found their way into some
foreign papers as to troubles in the Cau-
casus, at Odessa and in Finland are de-
liberate and preposterous lies. which IN
Russia are met with derision."

London. July 6.-Willie Ritchie expects to be hailed lightweight champion of the world July z. That is the date of his twenty round contest with Freddy Welsh, the British champion. Of course, Willie would probably insist that he is now champion of the world, and many persons who accept prize fighters estimates of themselves credit him with the title.
 Those persons who have watched him and Welsh have little doubt that Ritchie will return to the United States the. worlds champion. They think he can whip any lightweight liv- ing. Welsh beat him once in Los Angeles. At a moments notice, and, of course, without opportunity to train, Ritchie was called on to take the place of Ad Wolgast, who had been stricken with appendicitis He jumped into the ring and lost the de- c1sion. He was then a novice and Welsh was a finished professional
 Now Ritchie is a finished profes- sional and Welsh is getting older and stale.
 London will turn out an enormous crowd for the fight. The Olympia, where it is to be held, will be damned, it is said and estimates have been made that the receipts will amount to S100,00O. Ritchie will fight for 50 per cent of the gross with a guarantee
New Britain herald., 1914-07-06

of s15,000. If there is a record aud- fence he will get a record purse, and maybe he will retire
 However in the contract between the two men it was arranged that they should fight again in very short time, no matter what the decision in this contest. Perhaps Ritchie, fear ing that an English referee might take advantage of him, wanted to be sure he would have another chance to win back his title. This arrangement will not help the attendance at the first fight. -4 .. -.E-
