RUSSIANS FACE
HARD PROBLEM
Retreat from Warsaw Hindered
Gen. by Won Mackensen's
Success in South.
SLAV ARMIES STILL INTACT
London Critics Believe Grand Duke
Nicholas Has Provided for the
Safety of His Troops.

London, July 31-The Russians now
are facing the problem Of eYacuating
Warsaw and the surrounding country
without losing their armies, while the
Austro-German forces are making SUI
preme effort to get across their line
OF retreat The TeutOns are said to
have met with partial success in this
attempt, a Berlin official report this
evening stating that Field Marshal
Won Mackensen, resuming the often
sive, had reached the Chelm-Lublin
railway, about midway between those
two cities, and that southeast of this
as far as the Bug river the Russian
front had been shaken
Retreat Partially Cut Off.
The success of General Won Macken-
sen in getting across the railway, after
having been virtually stopped by the
Russian counter attack, denies at least
one line of retreat to the Russians,
who might still be between him and
Warsaw, and also places the Germans
in position to move against the Bug
river front should this be decided upon
British military critics refuse to be-
lieve that Grand Duke Nicholas, COM
mander-in-chief of the Russian forces,
has not provided for all contingencies,
or that he was not fairly sure OF the
safety of his troops before indicating
to the world that he had decided to
take up a new line.
Wait for Mackensen.
Indeed, the news contained in the
Berlin official statement that the Ger
mans have crossed the Vistula river,
southeast of Warsaw. between the
Pi1lica river and Kozienice, leads the
military writer's to the belief that the
Russians already have fallen back in
this region and that perhaps even the
fortress Of Ivangorod has been left to
its fate.
There is no news of the situation on
the Narew river, or of General Won
Buelow's wider outfanking movement
in Kovno province. However, the opin-
ion is expressed here that as the Ger
man plans contemplate a series OF at
tacks rather than simultaneous one,
it is likely that they are waiting for
Field MarshaI Won Mackensen to reach
some previously arranged position be-
fore they resume their attacks.
According to dispatches received
here the country around Warsaw,
which the Russians are leaving to the
invaders, has been put to the torch,
while the city itself has been denuded
of everything that might be of use to
the Germans when it falls into their
hands.

Thrilling Stories Told by Those
Rescued From Death Trap
in Steamer.
TRAGIC SCENES ARE ENACTED
Men Fight Madly for Their Lives,
Dragging Women From Tempo
rary Places of Safety-Eyewit-
nesses Tell Of Tragedy.

Chicago, July 26.-Stories Of Joy
a JOY which found expression In tears
were told by those rescued from the
river or from the death-trap hull Of
the steamer Eastland.
In the crisis the women were the
stronger. While men fought madly
for their lives the women and girls,
after the first panic, quickly recoT-
cred Either they chung patiently to
rails and bits of wreckage, or, if
trapped in the hull, they waited calm
ly for rescue or death. Rescued, their
thoughts for the most part were for
those not so fortunate.
With the men it was different They
dragged the women from places Of
temporary safety in order that they
might be saved. They struggled mad
" to save life, not for others, but for
themselves. And some, when rescued,
stood stunned and helpless, watching
others at work.
