Though Germans Claim to Have Advanced Along the NareW River Only Minor Fights Are Recorded Near Warsaw.
GERMANS PROBABLY
 AWAIT IMPROVEMENTS
Success of German Arms in Northern Poland, in 0pinOn of Military Critics Brings TeutOn Band Around Capital.

LONDON. July 2l-The Austro- Germans seem unable to force the Russians from important positions northwest of Warsaw along the Lub- in-Cholm railway but the German vic toYies in northern Poland, north of the Polish capital frightened their grip on the city Critics say the abandon ment of Warsaw has again become probable There is no change on the western front. Turks attacked the British Gallipoli peninsula but the British claim to have lost no ground.
 After weeks of battering the Ger man forces, for the first time crossed the Narew River north of Warsaw. and now have a considerable foothoId on the south bend of that river. But the fortress of 3OzcH, which the Berlin official statement describes as being stomcd irresisubly holds The com munication. however does not state whether the fortresses capitulated.
 The fight in southern Courtland, ac- cordmg to German claims, resulted in something akin to a crushing vic tory such as was familiar in wars of former years, General von Beulow's forces having cut mp the retiring troops badly and dispensing those not killed, wounded or captured
 That the Russians are holding the immediate vicinity of the Warsaw front is plainly evidenced by the Ger man official statement which refers only 10 minor operations on this area, and tolls of a comparatively insig niicant number of prisoners taken. Military critics says this indicates there have been no serious attacks by either side, which probably means the Germans are waiting reinforce ments or some favorable circum- stances while the Russians, from their strougholds are risking nothing in counter attacks

HIGH MOUNTAIN FIGHTING
 IS DIFFICULT SAYS OFFICER

BUDAPEST, July 24-A Hungarian officer, describing the fighting on the
 Tyrolese mountain peaks, a mile above sea level states that the most difficult problem for the staff is to maintain the supply of food to the troops On account of the high alti- dude and the continuous phical strain, they need good supplies and plenty of them.
 The officer pays tribute to the work of the Red Cross "Our wounded have to be carried down in sheets tied 10 the ends of sticks, and it takes "a dozen men 10 carry one down." he remarks.
 Scout duty is particularly dangerous, except for skilled Aplinists, and many of these never return Touching on the remarkable echoes thrown back by the mountain peaks, the officer says: "The roar of the guns is heard twice, thrice, or perhaps a dozen times the echo of throwing the sounds back and forth, and transforming a single report into fusillade. Many of our men have been unconscious or even driven made by the fearful noise Of the guns in the rarifed atmosphere ,Df these high attitudes"
 The same officer in another letter described an attack by the Italians on the positions held by his troops "It was after nine o'clock in th eevening when the Italian infantry began to , climb the mountain and storm the
 positions We lay low behind the rocks and poured a fusillade of fire Iupon them as they came up in three lines That was easy But some ter rible and trying moments for our came after this The Italians, having | been reinforced by another brigade came in such force and with such de- termination that the hot barrels of our
 rifles could do n omore. A fourth
 brigade was then seen in reserve
 trotting up behind.
 They surprised the advanced posi- lions, a whole company fell into their

IMMENSE SHELL FIRE

BERLIN, July 24-The astonishing shell-consuming power of modern ar ulleV is discussed by General Hein- rich Rohne in an interview published by the Nossische Zeitung
 In the war of 1870" says General Rohne. no German battery fired more than 200 rounds in one battle from each of it's guns. A Russian battery fired 522 rounds for each of it's guns at the battle of Tuschitschao. The use of ammunition in the present war puts an these figures in the shade
 During the whole Franco-German war, the German artillery fired S1ZOOO rounds, a tenth part of which was used in the battle of St. Priyat. In the RussO-Japanese war one side used a total of 945,OOO shells.
 On March 10 German headquarters announc edthat the enemy during the preceding fortnight. had fired of an immense amount of heavy artillery of its own and of American manufac- ture, often using more than 100000 'AANlAn III w Nllle .ihhh hNNl or ll0 ID three times as much as was used in the battle of St. Privat on front al- most twice as long The number of shots that were fired at a yard of front was six times as large as in the year 1870 in the hottest battle of the war
 Nearly 3OO,OOO shells were fired at the north of Arras on June 17. This was almost as much as the whole fire of the German artillery in 1870 On the German side we used our ammuni- ton more sparingly, because the Am erican factories cannot add 10 our sup plies How costly the bombardment of Arras was for the English army may be gathered from the fact that the very smallest gun shoots a projec- tiles costing at least $6.

Americans Make
 Protest On Story
 of Naco Fighting
Newspaper Article That Any of MaytOrena Officers Ran on Day of Engagement RouSeS Ire of Witnesses of Affair.

Many of the Americans who re- sided in Naco, Sonora, at the time Of the occupation of the Mexican town by the Gales forces, and ma ny of those who reside, perma- nently on the Arizona side, have objected most strenuously to a re- cent article appearing in newspa- pers, to the effect that Enrique Acosta customs collector in Naco during the Maytorena regime, had made his way across the line when the street fighting started and failed to aid his brother off cers.
 Many witnesses of the actual fighting declare that Senor Acosta was one Of the last to leave the improvised breastworks that had been erected. It is also stated that 1t was only after his ammuni- tion had run out and after Coro- nado had been killed and many of his men injured, that he consent ed to come across the line into the United States.
 The concensus of opinion of Americans who witnessed the fighting. is that the Mexican offi- cers used poor judgement in offer ingresistance. That they did so is established by many who saw the engagement Acosta, with Coronado, Peniche, Hoyos and several others, held the position as long as it was possible and then retreated to the American side.
 One American, in speaking Of the affair, declared yesterday "The resistance offered by that handful of officers was wonderful. When any of them are accused Of anything but the most wonderful bravery, bravery which approxi- mated voluntary suicide, the facts are not known"
