ADVANCE ON RIGA SLOYER
A Synopsis of the Last Few Days In the European War.

That the armies of Grand Duke Nich- olas after evacuating Warsaw in aA orderly manner are not yet out of the mesh spread by the Germans to cut on their escape eastward, is indicated in Russian official reports in which it is said large part of the Russian army remained close to the Polish capital to contest any effort of the Germans to cross the Vistula. The Russians, it Is announced, stationed artillery on the right bank of the Vistula and tried to prevent the rebuilding of the Vistula bridges by the Germans and this is borne out by the Berlin official declar- ation, which declares that the Rus sians continue to lombard Warsaw from Pragra, on the eastern bank Of the river. The Germans, north of the Polish capital, who are investing the Russian fortress of Novogeorgievsk,, which has been left to it's own resour- ces, have penetrated as far as the Ma rew river, while to the southeast of Warsaw, between the Bug and the vis- tula, the Teutons assert they have forced the Russians to evacuate posit- ion near Ruskowola.
