Petrograd and London Pave
Way for Announcing the
Disaster to the Allies
PEOPLE LEAVING
POLISH CAPITAL
Germans in Great Numbers
Forcing Their Enemy
to Move Backward

London, July 3O.-Warsaw, the thlro
city of Russia and the goal for Whlcn
the German armies in the east nave
been striving since October, is at last
in the throes of abandonment.
Germans in overwhelming numbers
at the gates of the Polish capital and
dispatches both from the city itself
and from Petrograd say that further
resistance would be unwise.
Discounted not only through France
and Great Britain, but in Russia ITSELF
the fall of the city is expected hourly
and the problem now is to move the
Russian armies intact, threatened as
they are from the south by the Austro.
Germans, and more seriously, from the
north, where the German forces which
have swept through Poland are aiming
at the railway from Warsaw to Petro,
grad. This latter menace, the British
press admits, is imminent and the hope
In the allied countries now is not for
the safety of Warsaw, but for the con,
tinued cohesion of the Russian army.
The Warsaw postoff1ce already has
been shifted to some point to the east
ward, the populace has been warned to
remain calm and presumably for days
Russian troops have been stripping the
city Of everything of military value.
German aviators are lowering over
the city, and according to German ad-
vices, plans have been completed for
the triumphant entrance Of the Ger
man emperor accompanied by his con-
sort.
With Warsaw captured, whether or
not 1t proves conquest Of lasting stra-
tegic advantage, great wave OF en-
thusiasm will sweep over Germany and
Austria Hungary, and it is predicted
here that the armies of the central
powers will then seek to force period
Of trench warfare In the east, mean
while throwing a great weight Of men
and guns to the west, with the idea Of
resuming the battering towards Calais
and perhaps toward Paris.
In the west just now there has been
little worthy note to break the monot-
ony Of mining and bombing from the
North sea to the Swiss frontier.
The British public Is so little impress
sed with the events in the east that
David Lloyd George, the minister Of
munitions, In speech yesterday, ap-
parently thought it necessary to drive
home the gravity Of the situation in
the minds of those inclined to over op-
timism, reminding them that reverses
In Russia would mean increased pres
sure on the western allies. He sum-
med up his opinion with the admoni-
tion that ''the situation is serious, If
not perilous."

Washington, D. c., July 30.-With
the disarming of citizen soldiers and

day that this was the beginning of

"a PUBLIC DUTY
SECOND TO NONE"
Is the Way Governor Whitman Charac
terizes the Fight Against Tuberculo-
sis-New York Executive Delivered
Address at Albany Last Evening.

Albany. n. Y, Nov. 5.-Governol
Charles S. Whitman characterized the
fight against tuberculosis as "a public
duty second to nome" in an address last
night before the joint meeting of the
North Atlantic tuberculosis conference
and the New York State tuberculosis
conference. Important and telling blows
had been delivered in many fields in the
eight-year anti.tuberculosis campaign in
this state, said Governor Whitman and
he believed the white plague could be
completely stamped out ii the preventa-
tive work was pushed by all agencies as
hard as ii might be.
Governor Whitman said the movement
against tuberculosis had been more wide
spread in New York than in any other
state. but this work had been carried on
largely BY county and municipal organ
izstions, and now the state ought to give
far more assistance than il had in the
past. He quoted Surgeon-General Will
liam c. Gorgas, L. s. A., as stating chat
the biggest thing that needs TO be done
in public health work in the next FIVE
years is to concentrate our energies,
time and resources upon the prevention
OF tuberculosis
The Joint meeting viii pass upon a
survey Of the tuberculosis work accom-
plished by the state organization, as well
as by the North Atlantic conference, and
