biles or teams. although the railroad
trains carried hundreds AT II O'Clock
there were more than 300 automo-
biles parked on the State Farm and
over 500 horse-drawn vehicles were
corraled there.
The greater portion of the morning
was devoted to the visitors inspecting
the various departments Of the State
Farm, members of the college faculty
acting as guides. While all depart
ments were examined by hundreds

Bv The United Press.


LONDON, July 29.-Tor the fret time
since the great German drive on Warsaw
began Grand Duke Nicholas forces have
established an ascendaney over the in
vaders This is Iondon's Interpretation
of the official statement today from the
war Office at Petrograd. The point Of
ascendancy is along the battle front
that General Won. Mackensen has been
constantly pushing forward southeast OF
Warsaw as part of the Austro-German
plan to entrap the army defending War
saw when-as German generals saw it
the inevitable retreat of the Russians to-
ward Petrograd began. Even if this re-
treat becomes necessary, london today
believes the grand dukes army will have
a clear path. In other words. the gigan-
tic enveloping movement is defeated by
the ability of the Russians to hold Won
Mackensen.
The Petroerad statement also throws
Iiqht Il is considered, on the failure OF
the Germans 10 take Ivangorod, already
surrounded. according TO their own re-
ports and ready to capitulate. II is evi-
dent Field Marshal Won Hindenburg has
withdrawn part of the attacking force
at Ivangorod and sent aid to Won Mac
kensen.
London views the situation in Po-
land with equaninity. There is a
growing belief that Warsaw itself
may not fall into the hands Of the
Germans, but in any event the sur
| rounding of the Russian army is re-
f, garded as out of the question. The
Grand Duke is now in a position,
provided he continues TO hold his own
against Mackensen to retreat in good
order to Brest-Litovsk. The latter Is
more strongly fortified than Warsaw
and is the center Of supplies for the
Russian campaign in Poland.
A dispatch to the Morning Post
from Copenhagen telling that Sven
Hedin received yesterday tele-
graphic invitation from Field Mar
shal Won Hindenburg to be present
