CAUSE MARCHES ON
Berlin Papers Comment Soberly on
Great Military Victory.

Berlin, Aug. 6.-The Berlin morning
newspapers today publish no addition
al details whatever concerning the
fighting which preceded the fall of the
Russian fortresses of Warsaw and
Ivangorod. Warsaw's fall had been dis
counted in advance and the news
evoked no demonstration in the capt.
tai When the report of the capitu-
lation of Ivangorod came, impromptu
professions were formed in the Inter
den Linden. One considerable body
marched before the palace of Crown
Prince Frederick William last evening
and the crowds were addressed by
extemporaneous speakers. The morn
ing newspapers comment on the news
rejoicingly, but on the whole, soberly.
The LOkan Anzeiger says:
This unfortunately is not the end
of the conflict but it is new promise
that our cause marches on

FRANCE NOT DOWNCAST.
Press Sees Russ Army Intact; Calls
Victory Not Decisive.

Paris, Aug. 6.-Whi1e the fall of
Warsaw had been discounted here
some time ago, the delay in the cap
ture of the city had given rise to the
hope that the Polish capital might
still be saved, and its occupation by
the Germans is something of disap-
pointment to the French public.
The military necessities debating
the abandonment of the city are fully
ecCgnized, but it also is realized that
the Germans will proclaim a great
victory from which the people of that
country will derive considerable en-
coura cement. The press points out,
however, the victory is in no way de-
cisive, because the Russian army re-
mains intact and the news generally
has been received stoically.
