WARSAW THIRD CITY OF RUSSIA,
IS IN THROES OF ABANDONMENT;
CARS ARMIES SEEK TO ESCAPE
nv Associated Press J

LONDON, July 30.-Warsaw, the
third city OF Russia and the goal for
which the German armies in the east
have been striving since october, IS at
last in the throes Of Abandonment.
Germans in overwhelming numbers
are at the gates OF the capital and dis
patches both from the city itself and
from Petrograd say that further resist.
ance would be unwise.
Discounted not molly through France
and Great Britain. but in Russia itself,
the fall OF the city is expected hourly.
and the problem now Is TO move the
Russian armies intact, threatened as
they are from the south by the Austro.
Germans and more seriously from the
north. where the German forces which
have swept through Poland are aiming
at the railway from Warsaw TO PetrO.
grad.
This latter menace. the British press
admits. is imminent and the hope OF the
allied countries now Is NOT for the
safety OF Warsaw. but for the contin.
ued cohesion Of the Russian army.
The Warsaw postoffiCe already has
ben shifted TO some point east. The
populace has been warned to remain
calm and presumably for days Russian
troops have been stripping the city Of
everything OF military value.
German aviators are lowering over
the city. and according to German ad.
vices. plans have been completed for
the triumphant entrance OF the Ger.
man Emperor, accompanied by his con.
sort.
With Warsaw captured. whether or
not 1t proves a conquest OF lasting
strategic advantage. a great wave OF
enthusiasm will sweep over Germany
and Austria, mad It is predicted here
that the armies OF the Central powers
will then seek to force a period OF
trench warfare in the east, meanwhile
throwing a great weight of men and
guns to the west. with the idea of re.
suming the battering toward Calais
and perhaps toward Paris.
In the west Just now there has been
little worthy OF note to break the mon,
otony OF bomb and mine warfare from
the North Sea TO the Swiss frontier.
The British public is so little impressed
with events in the east that David
Lloyd George, minister Of munitions.
in a speech yesterday apparently
thought it necessary to drive home the
gravity of the situation in the minds
OF those inclined to over optimism, re,
minding them that reverses in Russia
would mean increased pressure on the
western front.
