Washington, Aug. 2.-Twelve for

ALLIES CRITICISED BY
PRESS OF PETROGRAD
Should Have Relieved Pressure
by Instigating Some Move
ment in the West.

London, Aug. 2-Austro-German
cavalry has entered I.ublin. Official an
nouncement to this effect from Wen
ma supplementing German assertions
that the Russian grip along the south
ern front had been broken, indicates
that the important Lublin-Chelm rail
way now is strongly held by the in
vaders, cutting off one line of retreat
for the Russian forces in Southern
Poland
Meantime General Won Buelow
continues his drive toward Wilma
seeking to cut the Northern railway
from Warsaw to Petrograd, and the
predicament of the Russian armies
seeking to withdraw intact from War
saw, unless the main forces already
perilous.
Warsaw's 100000 inha bitants, laden
with such household articles and sup
plies of food as they can carry, are
fleeing the city toward the east and
every dispatch from Russia makes
guarded references. though quite col
orlessly, to some phase of the evacua-
tion of the city.
Official announcement of its aban-
donment, which even now may be a
fact, has not been forthcoming, how
ever, although the slender hope of the
entente allied countries that the Ger
mans might be held on the Threshold
is dissipated and military writer's are
confining themselves to debating
Grand Duke Nicholas chances of eX-
trieating his armies from the hard
pinched triangle without disaster.
Germans Cross the vistula.
Besides the capture of Lublin and
the seizure of the railway the German
forces have crossed the Vistula river
between Warsaw and Ivangorod and
the problem for the Russians to hold
their wings north and south of War
saw while the center retires becomes
more acute.
this retreat without great loss would
entail the necessity of the Lublin-
Chelm front holding firm. Now that
ii is broken quick action on the part
of tho Russians becomes imperative,
as also does the stemming of the in
creasing German forces driving from
Koyno and Suwalki toward Wilma, the
capture Of which would cause the
northern line to retreat.
With these developments Great
Britain is greatly concerned Some
sections of the newspapers are seiz.
ing the opportunity TO emphasize Rus
sia's task and press for conscription
here as the best proof to give Russia
that the Western allies purpose to
stand by her in exerting all the pres
sure possible in the west.
The Russian press, according to
special dispatches reaching London
/ feel that the Western allies should
have initiated some movement in
France or Belgium to relieve the
strain on Russia, as Russia did by her
invasion of East Prussia.

MAIL CONDITIONS
IN IDAHO COUNTRY

The following R. T. D. conditions of

''the dog teams find it difficult to haul
the letter mail and the insured par
cells that needs must come when some
of us in the wilderness happen to be
short on sugar, coffee or other neces-
sary food. In the earl spring the
magazines, papers, books, and so
forth, are piled in the nearby office.
Gradually they come over each week,
but not until the trails open in June
t cayuses do all of US get everything
that lies stored at the other end of the
line. The Companion is rarely left,
for it is one that we of the wilderness
consider a necessity, along with the
sugar, coffee and other "grug". If the
dog team plays out, or there is fear of
it, someone crosses the summit to help
the carrier owe the divide. At times
men take the great sacks Of mail on
their backs and turn the dogs loose,

for there is snow so bad that, no mat
t,r how willing a dog may be, he can
not wallow thru it with :. load. Then
the dog sleds are discarded and the
mail tied in Ieer hides, this being
found en- easier way of hauling the
loads, especially later, Wien the spring
thaw is breaking up the winter snow.
By the middle of March the real diff
culties come, for many parts of the
trail then are bare, yet the SUBMITS
closed. That means that cayuscs must
come up to the snow line on each side
of the d;viSe, while dogs must be used
over the submits. This takes extra
men, for the cayuses from yer the
hills have to be brought up to meet the
carrier, who has to return to the cay
use he left Oh the other snow line,
otherwise the poor beast would starve
