the Belasco Theater tonight for the bene-
fit of the poor of Washington, by lead

used in the harem scene came from a

PETROGRAD, July 29.-Military
critics of Petrograd expect the events
OF the next forty eight hours to decide
the fate of Warsaw. They declare
that the battle now raging south of
the Narew river is the decisive con-
flict which will determine whether the
Russians will have to withdraw their
main forces from the Polish capital or
whether the Germans shall reterat to
their former positions on the north
bank of the river.
The Germans have redoubled their
tremendous attacks in this district. It
| Is reported that they have been rein
forced by three fresh corps from the
western front. Night and day they
Iassail the Russian lines without cessa-
|tion, while their artillery shells the
positions in which the Russian re-
serves are held.
The efforts Of Field Marshal Won Hin
|denburg to reach the railway lines
northeast of Warsaw have completely
failed thus far. These lines, rather
than Warsaw itself, are his goal. Their
capture would result in the fall Of
Warsaw.

Austrian and German forces have
been made for week to rout the Rus

Eft Tu butcher!

DuUc1ef.
A sad blow has befallen Topeka
and Topeka's baseball interests
A. B. c. butcher is about to shake
the dust of Kansas from his feet.
One of the best boosters Topeka
ever had, Mr.. butcher will be miss
ed in a hundred different ways.
But most of all will he be missed
by baseball. Through thick and
thin, through pennant prosperity
and cellar depression, butcher has
always been found leading the
ranks of the boosters; and his
loyalty, devotion and enthusiasm
have been among the few constant
gems that have frightened To-
peka's baseball crown of thorns
and cross of gold. His never firing
efforts have probably done more
towards keeping baseball interest
alive here than the efforts of any
other Topekan.
Mr.. butcher goes to Ashfork,
Arizona, in July to take charge of
Fred Harvey's Escalante hotel at
that place. With him will go the
best wishes of every loyal Topeka
fan, and every Topeka player. And
behind him, he will leave a vacant
seat along the first base line in
the grandstand at the ball park
that will never be filled unless see
ing his folly he should repent, and
repenting, return to the fold that
will always be waiting to receive
him with open arms.
