CLOSING IN TIGHT.

BERLIN, August 9.-ln the effort to bag the whole Russian garrison of Warsaw von GaIlowitz has now arriv- ed at a point only ten miles from the Warsaw-Peuograd railroad by which the Russians hope to escape from the Polish capital. The railroad runs east from Warsaw but takes slightly uOrtherly course. By the capture of Sierok the way has been opened for the march south on the road and as the last fortified position has been taken it is expected that the railroad will be in our hands tomorrow unless the Russians can bring greater forces to bear for its defense than is believ- ed possible.

GRAD BUT RUSSIANS REFUSE TO CONSIDER TI
C7AR WILL FIGHT ON AND
 KEEP HIS WORD OF HONOR

LONDON, August 9.-Ihrough the King of Denmark, Germany has offer ed Russia a separate peace 1u, Rus sia has turned down the offer and de- clarcd that it will fight on no matter what the consequences might be, aud so keep it's word with its allies. The Russians refused even to consider the offer when the Danish king approach ed the czar with the proposal. At the beginning of the war the three mem bers of the Triple Entente bound themselves not to make a separate peace under any circumstances and Russia is bound by honor to continue the war however prccarious her m..i- tary condition might seem to be al present. The news that she has re- fused to consider the offer has created a much better feeling amougatN the British people as it is plain the czm's government is determined Co renew its efforts. The newspapers almost without exception remind the people that the resources of the Russian cnl- pire are by no means exhausted and that great things may be expected from it in the future.

The Germans have already crossed the Vistula near the city, but have not entered the city itself The number of the garrison still remain ing in Warsaw is not known, but it is thought that if the Germans do sue cced in cutting it off it will be found that most of the troops have already succeeded in getting clear away. Mackcnscn is progressing slowly and the progress has not been by any means so quick as had been looked for The newspapers here have adopt ed more optimistic tone for the past couple of days. Russia is evidently determined to put forth every effort and Co exhaust every resource.

Prefeet of the Department of Meurthe and Moselle- in explanation of what some call the new spirit in France.
 Monsieur Mirma,n has become wide Iv known through the work he has done in a dangerous post during tie war. He was director of hygiene at the ministry of the interior when the war began and he could have retain ed that safe postN but he preferred to take an active bart in the great tragedy.
 s..send nae ttey Nancy he asked of Minister Malvy, when he learned that the prefect of Meurthe and Moselle had fallen i'll. ITO Nancy It is a question whether you can Bet there ahead of the Germans he was told at the ministry. He was given the chance and he arrived in the ancient day; August 4, ,81914.i while the "sa- cred unien' was being censecrated in the French parliament. He lived with his family through all the anxi- ous moments of the battles of Nor hange, of Nancy and of the Marne. During the critical hours from August 22 to August 24, when it was expected that the city might at any minute be occupied by the Germans, Monsieur NTirman and Madame Mirman were conspicuous in the rue Saint-Je Jean making what the sPrefect calls their diplomatic promenades.' The can non thundered ominously and unceas- ingly, yet the populations seeing Monsieur Ie Prefect'' and '.AfadaIne la Prefete' calmly examining the goods displayed in the principal shop windows, vent quietly and resigned1y about their various occupations. There was never the slightest panic and at the most critical ome ent on August 24, less than 5000 of the 12O,e0o in ha,bitants left the city for the inter for.
 The last shots of the battles of Nancy, or the battle of Metz as the Germans call it, and the battle of the Marne had scarcely been fired be- fore Monsieur ATirnan. in the wake of the retreating GermAus, set about
