RUSSIAN ARMIES
TWO MILLION GERMANS TAKE
PART IN GREAT MILITARY
CAMPAIGN.

OFFICIAL Dispatches From Berlin and
Pctrograd Reveal Extent of Oper-
atons-Von Hindenberg Con-
tinues to Advance

Berlin, July 21-(via London).-
Further progress in the great German
drive toward Warsaw from the north
ana south was announced officially
here. The German war office reports
the capture of Ostrolenka, on the Ma
rev river, north of Warsaw In the
south the Russians are In retreat.
London, July 21.-The most stupen
dous military campaign since the days
of Alexander the Great not only
threatens the capture Of Warsaw but
contemplates the development OF Rus
sia's chief field armies under the per
sonal command of Grand Duke Mich
olas.
Official dispatches from Berlin and
Petrograd for the first time revealed
the extent of the German operations.
Military men here did not conceal
their amazement at the kaiser's dar-
ing in attempting by simultaneous
drives to eXpel the Russians from
their naval base at Riga, to capture.
the capital of Poland and to force a
general Russian retreat eastward to-
ward Brest-Litovsk, lis miles away, a
coup that would release great German
armies for operations against the
French and English.
At least 100000 Germans ara be-
lieved to be engaged.
Berlin dispatches assert $4,000 Rus
slams have thus far been made pris-
oners.
Petrograd Makes Admission
Admission from Petrograd that the
Russians have suffered further re-
verses and triumphant claims of great
victories from Berlin, including the
capture of Windau, increased the feel
ing of pessimism here. The censor
permitted the Morning Post to print
dispatch from its Budapest CORE
spondent reporting that the gradual
evacuation Of Warsaw has been Or
dered, though military officials here
discredit the report
War Office officials since the begin
ming of the present German offensive.
have expressed doubt that the Teu
tons would attempt serious move
ments against the Polish capital both
from the north and the southwest.
They believed the thinning of the
German lines north of Warsaw to
support Mackensen's campaign around
Lublin would enable the Russians to
beat back Won Hindenburg.
Won Hindenburg Advances.
The Russian war Office, however. ad-
mitted that Won Hindenburg's center
continues to advance upon the Narew
front. The assumption here is that
Russian troops have been withdrawn
from this portion of the line to rein
force the armies blocking Macken
sens progress from the southwest
All Petrograd dispatches agree that
the Russian general staff considers
MaclSnSen's drive the main German
offensive.
The belief is expressed in Danish
military circles, according to a Co
penhagen dispatch to the Exchange
Telegraph company, that the Germans
intend to use Windau and Tukum as
bases for operations designed to re-
suit in the capture of Riga The chief
purpose in seeking the occupation OF
Riga, it is believed in Copenhagen, is
to use 1t as new naval base after
the gulf of Riga has been cleared of
mines.
