News Is Hourly Expected As Russians Have Been Withdrawing for Several Days to Brest Line o
ESCAPE OF GRAND DUKES FORCES IS
 NOT YET ASSURED
AustrO-German Forces De- termined to Crush the Bear for All Time Fight ing In West

London, August 1-(10:45 D. m.)-The anniversary of wars outbreak passed with out the Germans occupying Warsaw, said to be part of their programme. How ever, news of this climax to the Austro-German offen- sive in the east is expected hourly, for what little infor- nation is allowed to leak through declares the Rus sians for several days have been withdrawing to the Brest line, leaving small forces to fight rear guard actions so that the main ar mics may make good their retreat.
 The rear guard actions have de- Seloped into fairly large battles, as the Russians, whose steadiness has been phenomenal in the face of de- feat, are offering stubborn resistance and delivering powerful counter at Jacks. They have prevented Field Marshal Von Hindenburg from throw ing more of his troops across the Narew, repulsed German attacks northwest of Warsaw and driven back to the river some of the invading troops who crossed the Vistula south of Warsaw.
 MackenZen Unchecked
 "In the southeast Field Marshal Won Mackenzen continues his victorious ao- vance. He has swept aside the resist ance of tho Russians and forced them to retreat along both banks of the Bug. The Germans already have passed through Chelm in pursuit. Thus on this front the retirement of the Warsaw armies is seriously threatened.
 Through the month of July Berlin says the Germans captured more than 900 Russians between the Pilicia river and the Baltic alone.
 The Russians, according to Petro- grad, have stopped General Won Bue- how's advance in Kovno province, to- ward the Vilna-Petrograd railway. If Grand Duke Nicholas is to hold the Brest line after his retirement from Warsaw it Is necessary that General Won Buelow's offensive be arrested for should he reach the railway he would interfere seriously with the Rus kksian communications.
 Safety Not Yet Assured
 It Is not certain whether the Russian Rarmies can make good their retirement hrom Warsaw The Austro- Germans have moved up very strong reinforce sments to hasten their encircling move nient The appearance of fresh troops Ealso suggests that the German staff Twill not be satisfied with the capture ,pl the city or even the destruction or hart of the Russian army, but should hnis be accomplished, will attack the yBrest line and endeavor finally to hrush the entire Russian forces
 Meanwhile the Germans, who appear to have an inexhaustible supply of mu- nitions, are fighting desperately to re- kain every position they hold in the Iwest. They have recaptured part of
 
 h4ooge and are trying to regain what hey lost to the French in the center region of Alsace.
 An unconfirmed report tonight says hhe Austrians are preparing to evacu- hte Triest and already have moved the machinery of the munitions factories.

MOST PREcEDENTs WITH WILSON

The circumstance that President Wilson is conced- ed renominaton for President makes it interesting to know that nine Presidents who have run for reelection have been successful and six unsueeessfuf we do not count Arthur who was defeated for renominaton- One Of those defeated for -Cleveland-was elect ed four years aferward, defeating the man who pre- vented his reelection after his first Washington Jefferson Madison Monroe. Jackson, Lincoln Grant Mckinley and Roosevelt were reelected. The two Adamses von Bruen. Cleveland. Benjamin Harrison and Taft were defeated for reelection. Cleveland served two terms. but there was intervening term
 There has been only one instance however. where President that was conceded to be popular as is the case with President Wilson, defeated for re- election-that of Cleveland who four years later dem onstrated his popularity.
 Therefore the weight of precedents is on the side of victory next year for Wilson.

In a recent issue of Golfers good advice of fered to the peculiar desirabnity of saving money or course, it is wise to money at any time, but 1t is much wiser now. One reason given in the article is called the purely selfish one that "a dol lar saved will yield larger returns that S1 saved three years In the future" That is because the legitimate interest rates today in the financial cen- higher than they will be when the world re- turns to normal.
 Further, the article says when this war is over the world is going to be very poor persons who have any money all going to be relatively rich; those who will possess the world late, on." That is undeniably true
 The thrifty will as Golfers points out enable the ravages of the to be repaired; they will finance the undertakings of civilizations they will permit the warstricken lands again to taste of the comforts of peace, will upbud the earth and in the doing will be performing great patriotic service for their labor of construction will make theirs the foremost of earths nations

WHERE WAS JACK UNDERwooDs

During the last session of Congress, which 1t may be remembered was Q somewhat lengthy one, Congressman Frank O. Smith. of Maryland, introduced in the House a resolution embody- ing rather novel proposal says American ln- dustries. He proposes to arrange with Canada an exchange. whereby that country will re- ceive the Alaska Panhandle in return for some other tract of land.
 The object of this proposal is to remove potential cause of war between the United States and Canada and Go further the feeling of amity between the two peoples The propo- sition is not altogether without merit but these imperial deals in real estate should be approached with some caution.
 It is true that the Panhandle of Alaska ef- fectively bars Canada from the Pacific for a distance Of several hundred miles. but it is not quite as much certainty that the Terri tory is without value to the United States. In the first place. Congressman Smiths scheme is based upon military considerations of some moment. and it should be borne in mind that Sitka, the capital of Alaska, is a naval base of importance.
 It is one of the points in the strategic tri- angle completed by Honolulu and Unalaska. It Is therefore. in view of the existing Anglo Nipponese alliance. unwise Co surrender to the ally of possible enemy an important naval station Seattle Times)
