ALLIES ALARMED BY
TURNING MOVEMENT

London, Aug. 6.-Warsaw' fall was
considered in London to be so certain
that its fate had ceased to be mat
ter of speculation, while the vast turn
northward of the Polish capital is ex-
citing the concern of the entente al
lies.
1t is feared by observers here that
the evacuation of Warsaw may be too
late To save the armies of Grand Duke
Nicholas from the grave disaster
which will be inevitable If Field Mar
shall Won Hindenburg should get
astride the Warsaw-Petrograd rail
way.
In the north the Russians now are
defending the line of the River Ekau,
east of Mitau. This means that the
Germans are at a point forty miles
south of Riga.
The critical situation at Riga is In
creased by the evacuation of the city
by the nonmilitary elements of the
population, the banks being the latest
securing the country in such numbers
that the Warsaw Petrograd line al
ways is in danger of being cut

would mean the early loss of Dvinsk,

STOCK RISES 269 POINTS
Shares of Bethlehem Steel at 301 on

New York, Aug. Common stock
of the Bethlehem Steel corporation.
whose rise has seen few parallels in
the history of the New York Stock ex-
change. passed the 800 mark. 1t sold
during the morning at 301, a gain
since the beginning of the war of 269
points. The company was incorporat-
ed in 1904 and the stock has never
paid a dividend.
When the stock exchange closed on
July 80. 1914, Just before the outbreak
of the war, 1t was quoted at 80.
The advance of this stock has been
accompanied by unrestrained specula-
tion with little authentic information
ON which to base such a rise.

SEES PEACE AFTER
FALL OF WARSAW

Berlin, Aug. with Warsaw's s now
in the hands of the Germans official
circles here believe the world war
may come to an end before winter.
The kaiser is expected to return to
Berlin Sunday. An important confer
ence is to be held next week by gov.
ernment officials. 1t was reported
that the ministry will discuss with the
emperor the moves Germany is to
make following the successful ending
of the Warsaw campaign
The decision will be reached before
the reichstag reassembles on Aug IL
and it promises TO have a farreaching
effect on the outcome of the war
The belief that Germany's enemies,
despite their public announcements of
preparedness to fight to the end, are
in reality firing of the war and about
ready to talk peace, is based on the
growing conviction in official circles
here that the allies have about
reached the end of their string" so
far as offensive movements are con-
cerned. The German viewpoint is:
First-That Russia has been dealt
a blow that will nullify her offensive
power for a long time to come.
Second-That England and France
realize their inability to push the
Germans out of France and Belgium,
as evidenced by their inactivity while
Germany concentrates against the
Slav.
Third-That the Dardanelles can
never be forced.

NEED FALSE TEETH ON FARM
Farmers Wife Wants Two Cows and

Washington, Aug. 6.-Now that
the secretary Of the treasury has re-
ceiyed a letter from a farmers wife
in Oklahoma he knows more about
what is needed for life on farm than
he did
IF you will send me $1,000" the
letter said, II can purchase two cows,
an automobile and a set of false

to right itself from the effects of one
of the worst storms in years.

not be known accurately for a week.
At Erie. Pa, hardest hit of all, res

lost in accidents directly attributable
to the storm.

were torn loose from their moorings
