GERMANS HIT WARSAW.

Mt any minute Warsaw, the great metropolis OF 20
"A land may fall before the onrush Of the German
Austrian forces Should this happen It would be one
Of the most interesting events OF the entire war It might
even be the decisive battle Of the great carnage The
examination Of the city would give the German forces
renewed inspiration for greater deeds and would be
crushing blow to the Russians in particular and the Allies
in general.
Yesterday the German forces were within few miles
Of the coveted city the shells from the kaisers guns
were dropping on the outer Notifications Of the town. and
miracle will save the Russians from the impending
fate
Those who still cling to the hope that the German
army viii never be able capture the city OF warsaw
point out the that early in the war the Teutons were
practically at the gates OF Paris and we're forced 10 re-
treat There possibility that history viii repeat al
Warsaw but such event is unlocked for at this Time
The Russians have been routed and driven back miles
and miles to the very doors Of the wonderful CITY ana
there seems to be absolutely no hope for them
The siege Of Warsaw has been long one. and one Of
the most sangunary Of the Thousands upon thous
ands have been slaughtered on both sides during the
mighty conflict and the last great charge when II is
made viii NOV down thousands more. In the final rush
the German forces Will be fighting tooth and nail for the
city while the defenders will be fighting as only those
who are having their last chance can fight Death WILL
reap rich harvest in this awful struggle
Riga is also likely to fail before the attack Oh tne yer
mans This is one OF the most important basis OF supplies
for the Car and should it be captured together with
Warsaw, the Russians would truly 10 use slang e1
preston "be up against it right"
The Germans admit they are planning double killing
and they VIII not only be successful in their efforts against
warsaw but will likely capture Rige 1t the intention
Of the attacking army not only score great victory
the capture Of the desired city but also TO cut of
every avenue OF retreat open the unfortunate Russians
and thereby to score one OF the most sweeping victories
since the opening Of hostilties over year ago

LLOYD GEORGE NEEDED Al
BRIDGEPORT.

The success Of Lloyd George in set.
ting at its very inception the strike
of the welsh Golfers is a personal
triumph OF which any public man
might be proud. The integrity Of our
nation Is not menaced, but there is a
blow to the new national prosperity
which had Just begun to appear as the
result Of heavy orders from foreign
nations for goods which We alone can
supply. Anything which today shall
interfere with our active participation
IN such foreign trade as is still obtain.

INGS.

sumo SEHmAN "loOINS-NS'
INGS.
The text of the telegram which the
Kaiser is reported TO have sent TO his
sister n Athens is characteristic
enough TO be genuine. He informed
the Queen Of the Hellenes, according
TO the telegram imputed to him. that
he had paralyzed Russia for at least
six months to come and was on the
eve OF delivering a stroke on the west
ern front that will make all Europe
tremble." To make not only all Eu.
rope, but all mankind. tremhle by the
display Of German might or the threat
of its use has been the longtime policy
of the Hohenzollern dynasty. SO far
as the new move upon the western
front is concerned. however, the chron.
ology OF the Kaiser's telegram IS I'LL
strung. Brave men confront the Ger
man forces there, and If brave men
ever tremble it is before the fray, not
after the fighting has begun. II the
paralysis of Russia should last SIR
months and II the German drive
against the British and French in the
west should be entirely successful
then. indeed. there might be trembling.
Remote as We are from the scene CT
the present conflict we should have
reason for grave concern should the
coming campaign foreshadow the trt'
unph OF German arms. We might not
trsmble. that IS not our custom. but
we should prepare: most certainly we
should make serious preparation
against the time OF trouble that soon
er O. later would come for us.-N. y.
