London Aug 9.-The Germans re- port two gains today in their pursuit of the Russians retreating from War saw.
 Praga, the Warsaw suburb, held by the Russians for three days after the fall of the city itself has been occu- pied by the Germans, who are press ing for ward to the eastward.
 The Russians finally were forced to give up their last foothold in the en- virons of Warsaw, it is believed, be- cause the German line was steadily being pushed to junction in the rear. Few details have been receiv- ed of the grand dukes stand here or in Warsaw.
 That the Germans found little in Warsaw when they got there is indi- cated by an official statement in Berlin, which states "a few thousand prisoners were taken in Warsaw
 yhe Germans claim continuous suc- cesses in their sieges of the three Russian fortresses, Kovno, Lomza Novo Georgievsk. Their lines have been pressed closer to Kovno. they assert, several hundred Russian pris-- oners being taken in the operations there.
 NcyO GeOrg;evsk Isolated.
 At Lomza they have progressed against the northern and western fronts, taking 1,4O0 prisoners. and have pressed their advance across the Ostrov-Wy szkow road, menacing the railway line to Petrograd. Novo Georgievsk has been entirely cut off and it's fall is reported immi- nent. Fully an army corps is believ- ed to be inside the lines of NOvO Georgievsk, the only Russian fortress vest of Warsaw at which Russian garrison remains.
 The German troops advancing from the Narew and the Vistula are stead .ly drawing together and the Rus sians retiring from the Warsaw dis trict now are believed to have only neck of about thirty miles through which to make good their retirement. Heavy operations are proceeding along the Vieprz river, the army of the Austrian archduke taking 5000 prisoners in which is described in Vii enna as Russian rout on the left bank of the stream. This side of the Vieprz is now declared to be entire ly cleared of the Russians. the Aus tlians forcing passage and advanc- ing in northeasterly direction. Von Mackenzen is pressing his ad- vance between the Vieprz and the Bug, and has approached the Ostrov- Gans-Kurchrsusk front. . 1 There is little news of the situation around Riga today. although semi-of- ficial sources in Petrograd claim the Germans have suffered serious set. back in this direction which may off. set most of their gains in the Baltic provinces. 4.sa3

British Regain Trenches.

London. Aug 9.-The British have recaptured all the trenches they lost to the Germans in the region of Hogge on July 30, and have further extended their front a distance of 1900 yards, making a net gain for Sir John Frenchs troops of fully a mile of front.
 The English, after a protracted lull, in which they were husbanding their ammunition against the possi- bility of new German drive on the Yser front, resumed their artillery action about three days ago. and, in cooperation with the French batter ies, opened a terrific bombardment of the lost trenches. By reckless ex- penditure of ammunition and accur- ate gunnery. number of the trenches were levelled, and the British follow ed through with the bayonet and hand grenade, and carried the trenches by storm.
 Repulse of furious German night attacks north of the railway station at Souchez, in which the invaders lost heavily, was reported from Paris.
 The afternoon French report chron- icled a terrific night bombardment by the batteries of the crown princes army against the French lines pro- tecting Verdun. but the night report fails to mention any action in this section.
