took on Il new imppt0s, Sir John
French, commander of the British X
Deditionary force, reporting a fierce
artillery engagement in which British
and French forces captured trenches
at HODGE along a front OF i,2oo yards.
The occupation OF Pruga, reported
by Berlin, brings to a dramatic eli
mas the first phase OF the drive at
the Polish capital and the region OF
Eastern Poland of which Warsaw is
the dominating center. Praga is es-
sentially a part of the capital, with
great railroad stations on the roads
running to Petrograd and Moscow.
Few details have been received OF

the withdrawal of the Russians be-

Warsaw now is the apex of a vast

river Narew on the north and the
Vistula on the south.
German Lines CONTRACTING.
The German lines spread along
these rivers are contracting gradually
as the armies in the north and those
in the south approach each other. The
strip Of territory across which the
Russians may withdraw to safer DO
sitions now is hardly more than thir-
ty miles across.
Besides this enveloping movement
Immediately to the east of Warsaw,
Berlin reports a steady hammering
at the great Russian fortresses of
kovno and Lomza, the chief signifi-
canoe of which is their proximity to
the lines of railway communications
to P%etrograd. Novogeorgievsk is the
only place west of Warsaw at which
a Russian garrison remains and it's
fall seem imminent.
The attitude of the Poles towards
the new German regime is arousing
deep interest, as the occupation Of
Warsaw unites for the first time
three branches Of the Poles hereto
fore divided among Russia, Germany
and Austria. Under the Russian re-
gime Poland has been a hotbed Of
disorder and it remains to be seen
whether control of this occupied ter
ritory will be as difficult a problem
for Germany as it has been for Rus

Approves Outline Of Course To-
wards Mexico.
SECRETARY SEEMS OPTIMISTIC
Believes Good Results Win Follow
Joint Action of United States
and Pan-American Nations.

Washington, Aug. 10.-President
Wilson has given his approval to the
policy framed by Robert Lansing, sec
rotary of state, designed to establish
a constitutional government in the re
public of Mexico without the neces.
sity Of armed intervention by the
United States.
The new policy, which provides for
an adjustment of MeXico's troubles
through the medium of the conven.
ton plan outlined heretofore in dis.
patches, will be known to the world
following the adjournment of the Mex.
lean conference, which will meet at
the Biltmore hotel in New York Wed,
nesday.
To this plan for the r%e-establish-
ment Of constitutional government in
Mexico, Latin-America, as represent.
ed in the conference, has given its
hearty approval. Throughout the con-
ferences held here last week it wa
made plain that ii an e%xigency arises
that warrants the United States in
intervening with an armed force, the
South American republics will with
draw from participation in the en-.
deavor Of this government to restore
order south of the Texas border.
Briefly stated, the United States,
with the moral support of Latin-Amer,
lea, will proceed to restore Mexico to
her former status among the nations
of the world.
First-An appeal will be made to
the Mexican factions to compose their
differences in a convention or by such
other means as they may regard as
practicable.
Will Recognize Government.
Second-lf any faction fails to OBJ.
serve this injunction the other fac
tons will be expected to set up a gov
eminent which, in due season, will be
recognized by the United States, the
republics of South America and the
powers of Europe and the Far East.
Third-The faction that refuses to
ouppOll tuS pan Will U6 DdTTeQ ITOul
the privilege heretofore exercised of
obtaining support of any kind from
either the United States or South
America. This means that opposing
factions will be unable to get equip.
ment for military forces or funds to
further military operations.
Fourth-Through the good offices
of the secretary of the treasury a plan
will be devised to finance the new
government of Mexico.
The Mexican problem will be simpll.
fed should Carranza yield acquies,
to the convention plan.
Secretary Lansing talked optimisti.
cally about the situation.
when the conference adjourned
here last Friday" he said, ct had
reached the point where a very def.
mite policy with regard to the solu,
ton of the Mexican problem had been
agreed upon.
THE conference vas adjourned be-
cause l wished to consult President
Wilson regarding this agreement. l
have consulted him through CORE
%spondence and we are now ready to
resume deliberations and to proceed
with the working out of details based
upon the original agreement"
