PETROGRAD. Aug. 5.-Less than
six miles from the town hall, the
Russian garrison was making its
last stand In furious battle at the
oity limits of Warsaw when the last
dispatches were filed to the war Of.
nee today.
Falling back from Blonie In ac-
cordance with previously arranged
plans. the Slav forces retired behind
the outer forts at the western bor-

pressed slowly forward. taking up
positions on the Golabki-M Mocsydlo
line, about nine miles from the heart
OF the Polish capital. From these
now positions they opened q bonn
bardment OF the forts defending
Warsaw from the west and south.
Shells were screaming across the
four miles of open plain intervening
between the two armies when the
last reports were sent from the War

possible today that the Russian gar.
rison already has fallen back across
the vistula, leaving Warsaw to the
Germans. but the war ONCE did not
share this opinion. Military men
said that from the outer forts the
Slav garrison could sweep the west
ern approaches with a fire that
would hold OF the Germans indefin.
itely unless they chose to sacrifice
thousands of lives by massed as-
sault. They predicted that Warsaw
would not be surrendered to the en-
emy until the evacuation OF the mil

completed and the Russians had TAX
en- up their new lines to the east.
Though Il IL admitted here that
Riga. too. may be evacuated by the

services in a special building two
weeks ago. The prospect was NOT
very encouraging at first, but event

There was a great desire that the
meetings continue another week, but
the minister has already made ar
rangements for another series Of
meetings in Auten Chapel.
A committee was appointed to make
arrangements for an organization of
a Union church. Next Sunday will see
the commencing of Sunday school

will be present at this service.
