 HOLD BACK
 INVADERS

LONDON, Aug. 1e.-MllItary opera lions In the eastern theatre arc devel- oplns slowly. Both sides show the ef- fects of the intensity of the warsaw struggle, and the German advance now centers on the efforts of von Him denburg to force his troops across the Dvlna and eastward toward Petrograd, and the near-apprOach of the army of Prince Leopold Of Bavaria to RussIa's new defenoes at 8rest LItovsk, on the east bank of the river Bug.
 Notwithstanding the fearful pres- sure of the Germans, the Russlans have succeeded thus far In holding them west of the DvIna.
 An official announcement from Ser lin says that won Maekensen's army from the south, and Prince Leopold's troops from the west are "purouIng the hard-pressed Russian and have each taken several more towns."
 A Petrograd dispatch to The Times says the archduke Charles Stephen, of Austria, will shortly be crowned King Of conquered Poland, In Warsaw Cathedral.

 HITS THE
 TOBOGGAN

NEW YORK. Aug. 1e. - English pounds sterling fell today to the low est point in American values within the memory of man. Normally 1t is .S4S5 to S4.S6 in New York. It opened this morning at S4.67. nine points less than the lowest point before this year, and 2 cents lower than Saturdays low record. The demoralizaton shown in the foreign exchange market at to- days opening was greater than ever before recorded.
 The effect of the exchange demoral- ization caused a depression in the price of those industrial stocks that have been booming on account of the immense orders for munitions of war they have received from Europe.
 No particular cause is shown for the low price of sterling beyond the insistent demand of American banks and manufacturers for gold in settle ment of tremendous balances that are owing to the United States.
 Notwithstanding that gold shipments are being made from Great Britain and Canada. the demand is growing more insistent.
