WAR MOVES OF TODAY
SEEN AT A GLANCE
KILLED RETREAT ON WARsAW "

German attainment Of the Bug
River after a week of fruitless at
tempts imperils Warsaw more
sharply on the north. Berlin adj
vices chronicle the advance Of
Gallwitz's right wing and state
that the Russians are being driven
back to their last line Of river de-
fenses. Apparently the German
onslaught on Warsaw from the
north has made gains after an ad-
mitted check for "a hours. Petro-
grad, announcing resumption of
the offensive along the entire
Poland front and estimating Ger
man casualties Of $4,000 in four
days desperate battle between the
Narew and Bug, maintains that the
foe has been definitely held in this
terrain. Although the drive has
come within 20 miles of Warsaw
on the north, Mackensen's GAM
paign in the south seems to have
spent its force.

critics assert the enemy will be unable to
bring up reinforcements.
The conflict on the Narew front is the
fiercest battle of the war. without ces-
sation either night or day, the combat is
raging. Both Russians and Germans have
their heaviest artillery in action. A dis
patch to the Bourse Gazette from War
saw states that more than 5000 guns are
in action along the circular front extend
ing from Ostrolenka on the Narew to
Sokal on the upper Bug.

President Grisham has called a
meeting of the Kansas City Tennis
Club 1.-TWO times champions of the
Missouri Valley for Monday night, 8
o'clock, at Y. NJ. G. A.. All members
and those DESTROYS of becoming mem
bers are invited. The club hopes to
make this it's banner year. At the
August tournament, when st. Louis
comes, it hopes to have representative
teams from Atlanta, Tuskegee, Nash
vile and Chicago present, also near
by cities. Capt. Carton predicts an
other all victorious team and had it
understood at the last meeting that no
Sinking from work goes this year.
The old members will have to hustle
to beat the youngsters for a place on
the team this year. For in Burns,
Fladger and Williams brothers, he has
the fastest youngsters in this section
of the country. He also, has great
hopes for Hardy, a new member, who
is a natural athlete.
