PetrJgrad RusSid.-The German ad-
vance on Warsaw was achieved as a
result .; that most difficult operation
known as a change of front performed
with marvellous speed and efficiency.
The transfer of one-fOurtb of the Ger.
man army from Belgium to Poland
was the least of the difficulties that
were overcome. Far greater was the
establishment of etrapes (shelteTs)
and lines of communication in hostile
territory. The Germans not only over
came these difficulties, but conceived
a mastery Plan of attacking War
saw and very nearly carried it to sue
cess.
Grand Duke Nicholas expected a
German ADVANCE from East Prussia
eastward c. Grodno or southwark on
Warsaw arA had prepared for these
movements with General Rennen-
kampff's arzy west Of Grodno and an
other army 1t Kevno. Warsaw was
defended on the north by the for
tress of Nov5geOrgeievsk and power

Attack Cores Through swamps,
The grand duke did not expect an
attack from the south where there
are swamps, the worst wagon roads
in Europe ana few railways. But it
was from the south that General Won
Morgen came.
In all there were four German
groups One, from Thorn, lombard
ed Plotsk, but retreated, this being
only a demonstration. Two groups ad-
vanced from Kalsz and Chenstokhov
and. uniting at Skiernevitzy, moved
on warsaw with binding rapidity. The
fourth group from Cracow, attacked
Radon and ther Ivangorod, where the
object was to cross the Vistula, thus
outfanking the Russian army at War
saw and compelling it's retreat.
The whole A-stro-German battle
front was 462 p~ile5 in length, ez-
tending from the .aitic to the Carpa-
thians and theref--e the battle of the
yistula in the mi%5l2 of October was

ton of what | saw with my own eyes.
Had Only to Walk In.
Warsaw was absolutely lost on the
a7ening of October II. The Germans
had only to walk in and take it, But
they delayed, probably waiting for
the fourth German force to cross at
IFangoTod
Next day the Russians had more
troops, and within a week they had
ten corps, or 100000 men, south of
Warsaw, and as General Won Nor
GEMS force was threatened from both
fanks, he fell back October 20, with
amazing skill and rapidity

Black First Worn for Mourning, 1898

Black First Worn for Mourning, 1893,
Anne, queen of Charles VIII of
France, was the originator of black
as a token of mourning, wearing it
upon the death of her husband in l498.
Contrary to that, the accepted mourn
ing of Europe was white. Black, how
ever, gained great popularity, and was
quickly adopted; so marked was any
deviation from the unwritten law that
Mary Queen of Scots was termed the
White Queen because she held by the
ancient custom when mourning for
Lord parnley.
