GERMANS DRAW
NEAR TO WARSAW
PEOPLE OF POLISH CAPITAL ARE
FLEEING AS THE INVADERS
APPROACH.

London, July 4.-The approach of
the German armies toward Warsaw
has caused an exodus of civilians from
the Polish capital. This is admitted
in dispatch to Reuters Telegraph
company from Petrograd.
This message says the civilians are
leaving "in order not to hamper mill
tary operations"
German aeroplanes are dropping
messages into Warsaw" the message
continues, Stating that the city will
be in the possession of the Germans
within a month.
''The Germans, it is known, have
drawn up lists of prominent Poles
whom they plan to hang for their Rus
sian sympathies."
At rate estimated at five miles a
day General Won Mackensen's forces
are still swinging northward In
Galicia and Poland in an effort to drive
a wedge into the Russian center and
the Russians from the Vistula
river and force them back over the
Bug.
If the Austro-Germans can continue
their progress another week. even the
British press admits the Russians will
have to give up Warsaw. and with it
the whole line. Meanwhile the Ger
mans are massing more troops in the
Baltic provinces and the recent en-
counter in the Baltic seems to suggest
that they contemplate coordinate nav
al action, but it is possible that the
sea operations were only feint.

War Summary

In southern Poland the Russian
armies driven over the GalicIan
border are fighting determinediy
to check the TeutonIc thrust at
Warsaw. The most recent Aus
trlan official statement admits
that the Russians have been
strongly attacking In several
sectors.
Petroorad tells OF desperate en-
J gagements between the vistuIa
and the Bug rivers and claims to
have checked the Austro-Germans
at different points, but comedies
retirement In East Galicia from
the Gnila Lipa to the zIota Lipa.
Vienna declares that at what
seems to have been the chief
point Of the TeutonIc attack In
Poland, near krasniI, the heights
to the north were taken.
A Turkish statement declares
the entente allies lost heavily In
an attempt to land reinforcements
on the GaIIlpoIi peninsula and that
the effort was frustrated.
Petroorad reiterates the claim
that Russian submarine sank a
German battleship Of the Deutsch-
land class in the Baltic last FRI
day. This is semi-officiaIIy de.
nIed In Berlin.
The latest advIces from Berlin
confirm recent intImations that
the German reply to the Ameri-
can note may not be delivered for
several days, during which time
an agreement may be effected be-
tween the naval extremists and
those favoring a compromise as to
Germany's submarine policy, 1t is
hoped.
