Warsaw Still Holds
Out Against Great
Drive Of the Germans

AT the hour of going to press the
Slavs were still holding out in War
saw and adjacent points, apparently
keeping rear guard in action pend
ing the retreat of the main body.
There does not seem to be any
doubt about the fall of Warsaw,
which, according to the best informa-
tion obtainable, could have been tax
en- by the Germans some days ago,
but the German objective is the cap
ture of the bulk of the Russian army,
or the Gripping it to such an ex-
tent as to render it impotent for
months to come.
Whether the Germans will be able
to accomplish their purpose is an ele-
ment of doubt for the present. There
are indications, however, that they
may fail, since the Russian commando
er seems to have been preparing for
driven out Of the Austrian province of
Galicia.
Il Serious Affect on Russia.
Back of Warsaw lies a strong Rus
sian manufacturii.s center, so far as
arms and ammr 1it.si is concerned,
and it is believed that the Russians
will redouble their efforts to prevent
the Germans from capturing or de-
stroying this stronghold
Nevertheless, the Germans are max
ing fearful drive, and, with the linn
tied ammunition at the command OF
the Russian forces, they may succeed
in driving back the Russian army, il
they do not capture it, far into the
Interior and thus rendering it incap
able of offensive operations for the
remainder of the year. if not perma
nently.
Arms and Ammunition.
The great drawback to the Russian
offensive, and even defensive. is said
to be the lack OF arms and ammuni
ton. There are millions of Russians
still ready for war, according to of
fetal and unofficial statements, but
who cannot get into action because
the Russians aave neither arms mol
ammunition.
That's ONE reason which prompts
the tremendous efforts to capture the
Dardanelles so that there may be ar
outlet for Russian foodstuffs and al
inlet for arms and ammunition from
s American manufacturers. At pres
ent, with no maans for getting equip
.ment inte Russia, te czar's forces mus
depend largely upon their own manu-
facturers for the army supply, an6
this is said to be wholly inadequate
to meet the demands.
