LONDON. July 20.-The German ad-
vance on Warsaw continues and the
Russians seem unable to check the
onrushing Teutons. It is just mat
ter of few hours before Warsaw will
be in the hands of the Kaiser accord
ing to expert critics at the front.
With virtually all of Courland in the
hands of the Germans, the Russians
are sorely pressed. The army of the
Kaiser has crossed the Bug river and
the entire Russian army is exposed
to the onslaughts Of the German ar
tillery.
Copenhagen reports the capture OF
Windau by the Germans. This menace
from the north parallels the lTeutonic
advance on Lublin. The Germans are
sweeping on towards Riga from VIM
dau.
The Russian generals are confront
ed with the choice of abandoning
Warsaw and Strengthening the Russian
lines Or holding that fortress and run
ming the risk of annhilation. It is
believed the Russians will abandon
Warsaw and attempt to check the ad-
vancing enemy.

 Larger and Better Quarters
AND WILL PREPARE PETITION

Will Endeavor to Enlist Aid of Con-
 gressman P. Davis Oalzey-Funeral
 Sof Walter Brown Held This After
 noon-Church News-Other News.
 Now that winter is coming on the agitation for a new post office build ing in Kensington is revived. Those who have the memories of the past few winters and who have tramped to they present building daily in search of their daily mail, feel the government and post office department ought to provide better office than the one now in use. They claim the room is not large enough to carry on the work of a third-class office. The space is cramped during the Christmas rush and many citizens complain they are forced to wait longer than necessary for their mail on account of the small spaSe allotted to the packages which arrive in the holiday season. Another thing which is receiving considerable criticism is the approach of the present building. When the storms of 3 old King Frost come along they leave &slush and mud in their wake before the office. The agitators for some thing better in this line will prepare petition in few days which will be sent to Representative P. Davis ! Oakley asking his assistance in the se- curing of better accommodations. Two years ago the question was first agitated and the aid of Congress rnan Augustine Lonergan, who was just starting in on his term, was en- listed. He took the matter up with the -postal department and through khiS Efforts, an inspector was sent to examine the present location. There was some opposition at the time to moving the post office from it's site, and the matter was dropped. At that 3 time the saloon now occupied by Mug s & White was vacant and those who favored a change thought that build tng,s being of brick, would be an Ideal place. Of course, the agitators claim the present site is admirable being near the depot and convenient to the townspeople, but they feel 8 kthird class post office should be Of brick and that more adequate space should be supplied.
 According to Inspector Hurley, who Examined the building two years ago, the postal department was and would be willing to pay a reasonable rent |. Those who favored change then and still do now say the town is bound to become larger, new dwell
 ngs are being erected and when the auestion of water for the town is set lied, the population will increase in bounds and better facilities must be provided They believe there is no
