RUSSIANS ARE CALCULATING CAPITAL IF
 POLAND
Proposition Now Is Not to Save Warsaw But to Save the Rus rian Armies Which Are Falling Back to Stronger Front.
AUSTRlANS HAVE CROSSED
 LUBLlN-CHOLM RAILWAY
Expected That Upon Completion of Warsaw Campaign Ger mans Win Turn Attention to Western Theatre of War.

LONDON. July 30.- The Russians are now facing the problem of the evacuation of Warsaw and surround ing country without losing their ar- mics. while the Ausro-Germanic allies are making a supreme effort Co get across their line of retreat The Teu- tons are said to have met partial sue cess in this attempt. the Berlin off cial report this evening stating that Field Marshal von NacKensen. in re- suming the offensive. had reached the Lublin-Cholm railway about midway between those cities and that south east of this. as far as the Bug river, the Russian front was shaken
 The success Of von Nackensen in getting across the railway after being virtually stopped by the Russian coun- ter attacks. denies at least one line of retreat to the Russians who might stil be between him and Warsaw and also places the Germans in a position to move against the Bug river front should this be decided upon.
 British military critics however. refuse Co believe that Grand Duke Nicholas has not provided for all com tingencies or he is not fairly sure ol the safety of his troops before in- dicauug to the world that he had de- cided to take up a new line Indeed the news contained in the Berlin of- ncial that the Germans had crossed the VistuIa river southeast Of War saw. between the Piliv river and Koz- ionice leads military writers to the belief that the Russians had already fallen back in this region and that perhaps even the fortress of Iyangor- cd had been left to its fate
 There is no news of the situation on the Narew river or Of General von Eue.ow's wider outhanking movement iu Kovno province. However, opin ion Is expressed here that as the Ger man plans contemplate a series of at tacks rather than a simultaneous one, it is likely they are waiting for von Nackenseu to reach some previously arranged position before they resume the attacks.
 According to dispatches the country around Warsaw which the Russians have been leaving has been put to Che torch, while the city itself was deuuded Of everything that might be of use to the Germans if it falls into their hands. lt may be some days before the Teutous occupy the Polish capital. if they finally do. for the Rus. sians are lighting more than rear guard actions
 The fact is that they are still deliv erins some heavy blows and gaining some local successes. principally in Narew and southeast of Cholm. where opposing forces Of the Austrians are across the Bug river However mili tary critics say these local successes do not effect the Russian plan of fall ing back Go a shorter and stronger front
 As soon as the present operations are concluded it is expected the Ger mans will turn west a movement which, however may take a couple Of months at the least It is there fore a race between the Teutonic for,
 es and the British and French as tC which side will take the offensive I France. where the situation remains at about the same as it has been fo weeks past.
