From Warsaw itself little information

rison was being hotly pursued.
This was taken to mean either that
the Russians had not succeeded In de-
stroying all the Vistula bridges in thor

VIENNA tvia Berlin). Aug. s.-The
Russian fortress of Ivangorod. fifty
miles southeast Of Warsaw. has been
captured by the Austro-Germans. It was
officially announced here today.
The allied troops began entering the
fortress on Tuesday.
An Official statement given out at
Petrograd early today indicated that
the Russians were about to surrender
1vangorod to the enemy. The Russian
war office said all food supplies had
been withdrawn from the fortress be-
cause 1t was realized the brick walls
could not withstand the battering or
modern sieSe howitzers.
The Petrograd statement however
contradicts the Vienna claim that the
fortress was captured by the Austro-
Germans on Tuesday. Petrograd declar-
ed that on Wednesday the Russians re-
tired from the Ivangorod forts on the
left bank Of the Vistula. after blowing
up the bridges. and esta blished them
selves on the right bank. The city and
the main fortress OF Ivangorod lie on
