London, Aug, 2. NO direct news
from Warsaw has been received here
today. While there are increasing in
dications that Grand Duke Nicholas Is
Withdrawing his army from the Polish
salient, there is evidence that the cap
ital Is still In possession Of the Rus
SLAMS, since Petrograd correspondents
of Warsaw papers were directed to
send accounts Of the dumas opening
for the issues Of Monday morning.
That Russia has not entirely aban-
doned hope of diversion in the west
which may relieve the tremendous
pressure exerted on her by the Austro-
German armies, is shown by the an
'nouncement from Petrograd that the
German forces before Warsaw have
been heavily reinforced from the west
thereby creating favorable conditions
for active operations by our allies
There has been heavy fighting on
the Narew front, where the Germans
have made some progress in the des-
perate battle which is raging between
the Narew and the Ole rivers.
Latest reports from Vienna are that
the Russians are retreattng further
east, pursued by German regiments
that passed through Chelin.

ministers, in their speeches, did not at
tempt to minimize the gravity of the
situation, but all agreed that Russia

pressed by number of delegates that
the National German-American ALI
ance, which convened today, would
make no formal declaration OF its at
titude toward the controversy in which
the United States and Germany is now
engaged, has diminished, 1t was said
today, as result Of the vigorous at
tack made on the American govern
ment in an address yesterday by the
organizations president, DR.. Q. j..
Hexamer Of Philadelphia. Delegates
in favor of strong stand by the con-
vention asserted that Dr.. Hexamers
denunciation Of the United States for
permitting the shipment Of war sup
plies to England paved the way for
resolutions covering the same ground.
Members of the opposition, how
ever, declared they would make every
effort to prevent such resolutions be-
ing acted on.
President Hexamer's report was to
be read today and other routine busl-
ness transacted.
