ATTACK is MADE BY
THE GERMANS.
WARSAW CITY ENDANGERED
West of vistula River in Central
PoIand-Berlin Only Capt.
tai That Celebrates.

London, July 18.-The Russian front,
running from the Baltic in the north
to Bessarabia in the south, a distance
of 1000 miles, is being subjected to vio-
lent attacks by the Germans and Aus
TRANS, and in places has, according
to the German official report, been
pierced.
In the Baltic province General Won
Buelow, who is using large forces of
cavalry, has crossed the Windau river
and is moving toward Riga. In the
Przasnysz district Field Marshal Won
Hindenburg, who is making his fourth
attempt to reach Warsaw, has twice
broken the Russian lines and compelled
the defenders to retire toward the
Narew river.
Capture Advanced Positions.
In southern Poland, after period of
inactivity, Field Marshal Won Macken-
sen is again on the move and claims
to have captured some Russian ad-
vanced positions which stood between
him and his objective the Lublin-C holm
railway.
simultaneously with these attacks,
which are the main ones, the Austro-
German armies are on the offensive
west of the Vistula river in central
Poland and along the Dniester river in
Galicia. AS was the case in the drive
through western Galicia, the Russians
are fighting stubbornly and on oc
casions are turning and delivering
vicious blows at their opponents.
The probability of the Russians hav.
ing to evacuate Warsaw, which is
threatened by Won Hindenburg in the
north and Won Mackensen in the south
is being seriously discussed. The pos.
sibility of further retreat, however
is being calmly considered in Russia
where the old theory that the further
the enemy is drawn into the country
the worse it is for him, buoys up their
hopes of final victory.

WOMEN

DESIRE TO ENLIST IN
coUNTRY's SERVICE.
MRS. PANKHURST IS LEADER
She Said 1t Was a Shame for Men to
Do Work Which Could Be Done
BY Women-Lloyd George
Makes Speech.

London.-Fifty thousand women of
England gathered Saturday on Vic
oria embankment and paraded through
the streets, with banners flying, to
to be enlisted in the services of the
country. There was remarkable
scene when the minister of munitions,
accompanied by Mrs. Emmeline Pank-
hurst, the suffragist leader, appeared
on platform overlooking the embank-
ment, along which the procession made
it's way.
Mr.. Lloyd-George had previously re.
ceived a deputation headed by Mrs
Pankhurst, who said it was a crime
for men to be doing work which could
be performed by women.
In response to loud cries for speech
the minister said the government pro-
posed to utilize the strvices of every
one prepared to assist, and declared
that victory would eventually be won
There were dark clouds looming in the
east, but he looked to the indomitable
courage of Russia to meet this hurri-
cane, declaring Russia would emerge
once more, formidable and deadly to
help the great democratic countries in
the west to achieve victory for the
freedom of Europe"
The conclusion of the minister's
speech was the signal for great
patriotic demonstration; hats and flags
were waved enthusiastically, while the
bands played the national anthem
The main body was made up Of
groups representing France, Russia,
Japan, Serbia and Poland in national
costumes. Thousands of banners were
borne in the procession and 100 bands
played stirring music. Some of the in
scriptions on the banners read
"Shells made by a wife may save a
husband British women will beat the
German women" "Women will save
