Presidents Inquiry Causes Pleased Surprise at
 Washington.
BOTH ARMS READY
 TO PRESENT REPORTS
Secretary Garrison Has Prepared Ar- engagements for General Increase in Army, While Secretary Daniels
 Wants Many New Vessels.

Washington. July 24. All of Wash ingtcn is puzzled, yet pleased, over the statement made in beha]f of tht president last night and today, that he would take up at once the question Of the miliaary prepare dness of the United States.
 There were opinions that the ap- parent fZ:lure of the presidents plan in Me xico, at leasa up to daie, de- manded that the navy be put in first class condition, and also opinions that the activity was due to some in definite European complication.
 Secretary of the Navy Daniels is sued 2 statement from Warrenhead. N C., announcing that on the presi- dents return to Washington he would present him with concerted con- structicn program made up by prob- ably the most expert naval officials. Several days ago President Wilson asked the secretary of war and the secretary of the navy by letter for their views on the general subject of the increase of the navy and the army. Some officials understand this request to have been made in order that the president could be able to go to work at once on his message Jt congress

Russians Defeated in Two Great Battles in Recent
 Days.
THEIR FIFTH ARMY
 IS VENTILATED
German Artillery Destroys Works of Defenders of Polish Capital, and German Cavalry Cuts Down SJavs
 in Great DrOves.

London, July 24-Two great bat ties have been won by the Germans, one in northern Poland and one due north of Warsaw, where von Hinden- berg has crossed the river
 While the Austro-German army to the immediate west of the Polish cap- ital and along the Lublin- Cholm rail- way so far appears to have been un- able to break the Russian resistance, the two disasters to the north lead military critics here and in Petro- grad to practically concede the early fall of Warsaw
 Field Marshal von Buelow, after siege of ten days, has practically wiped out the fifth Russian army, according to an official statement re- ceved here from Berlin.
 l The battles which took place in the region of Rossieny and Schakow, ended with the German artillery i blowing up the Russian defenses and the German cavalry rushing in among the panic-stricken Russians, who were cut down by the regiment and spread in a wild rout in all directions.
 Great numbers of prisoners and stores of booty have been taken, ac- cording to advices from Berlin.
 This army, which has been rein- forced by an entire army corps, is now sweeping southward. In what the German official report describes as an irresistible attack,"' the troops under von Hindenberg stormed the fortified city of Cultufld and the strong positions at Rocan, both being captured. The Teutons hold wide front between these two points, and are now prepared for an advance against the Bug, which is the last barrier to Warsaw.
 On the line directly in front of Warsaw there has been little fight ing. The Germans have attempted l no frontal assaults here, and it is believed that they either are merely engaged in waiting movement here while their main forces hit at War saw from other directions, or are ! awaiting endorsements before be- ginning serious operations.

 Those who could crowd upon thu upper decks were shouting and way ing farewell to the other thousands ol shore, when the big ship suddenl! listed slightly towards the dock. Tn passengers moved to the other side and the weight turned the ship over The happy shouts changed to tn united scream from 2,500 throats.
