 "On July 19 an anti aircraft gun was located and hit with the second round from one of our guns. The fifth round blew it into the air.

LONDON VIEW OF IT
Not Hopeful Though That Warsaw
 Will Stand

LONDON, July 22.-The Austro- Germans continue to press the Rus sian forces defending Warsaw but while they have made progress at some points they have not made any serious breach in the well fortified inner lines The Russians have been pressed back to the bridge heads in the positions directly west of War saw and into the fortress of Ivan gorod further to the southeast on the Vistula. But at these points they are probably in better position to offer stubborn resistance to their oppon- ents.
 In the Warsaw district two attacks arc being made from the north along tho Narew river by Field Marshal won Hfndenburg. Field Marshal von Mackenser. from the southeast alorg the Vistula and Bug rivers. is ap- rarently held up or the Germans arc waiting for an opportune moment to move forward to catch the Russians should it De decided to evacuato War5aw.
 Berlin official statements do not claim any advance for von Macken- sen, while the report, although it states that the Russians have ceased tlleir counter attacks along the Ma rev. does not mention any success on the part of von Ilin1enpusg.
 However, should the Russians hold Warsaw, ii woHd surprise military critics in the allied countries who have discounted the loss of the city, attacked from, all sides by opponents possessed of a superiority in guns and munitions.

very uncertain whether the Italians

win very quickly. Whichever side

Client
Whether Germany will wait 20
the very end. in the hope OF peace
full settlement, or whether she will
make sudden effort TO cross the
Italian mountains before war is de-
clared. is a question which may
contain momentous consequences.
There is as yet no absolute GER
tainty that war must come. for
last-minute compromise is always
possible. What Germany ought to
do under these circumstances Is q
matter OF grave doubt either way.
But once the war breaks out, the
Germans are prepared 10 strike with
offensive intention, and IL they can
