more and more surely to the east of
Warsaw, and the question now agitating
Russian official circles is whether the
Grand Duke will be able to effect a re-
treat; at all events, he is bound to lose
his rear guard. Should he save the
greater part of his army, the defense of
Warsaw, in the face of overwhelming
odds, will pass into history as one Of
the most masterful achievements in
military annals.
WESTERN ALLIES REMAIN INACTIVE
The Russian war office has significant
ly remarked in bulletin that the with
drawal of German troops from the west
opens an opportunity to the western
allies. The same has been observed by,
perhaps, every military critic in Amer
lea. A satirist has said that it would
seem that the English and French have
stopped to watch the fascinating spec
tacle of the eastern campaign in forget
fulness that they, too, were supposed to
be fighting. It may be, however, that
they have some we'll defined plan of ac-
tion which they expect to spring at the
proper moment. Be that as it may,
they are making no reply to the criti-
cisms everywhere directed against them
According to latest reports, the Ger
mans had taken the offensive in the
Argonne, the Vosges mountains, and
Belgium, and desperate fighting was in
progress.
A bombardment near Ypres this week
was followed by an attack with flame
projectors, whereby liquid fire is thrown
with great velocity for considerable
distance"

WARSAW FALLEN, ACCORDING TO
LATEST REPORTS

Just as we go to press, word is re-
ceived that Warsaw has fallen. Few
details are given, except that Bavarian
troops have broken through the outer
and inner lines of defense guarding the
city, and that Russian resistance was
no longer possible. The fall of the city

Lemberg is the capital OF Galicia, and
the Poles, both because OF their
shrewd political ability and their nu-
