LONDON, July 3o.---The russians

try without losing their armies. while

al out midway between those two cities,
and that southeast Of this, rs far as
the Rug River, the Russian front had
been shaken"
The success of General Won Macken-
sen in getting across this railway, .af-
ter having been virtually stopped by
the Russian couutcrattack. denies at
least one line OF retreat to the Rus
slams who might still be between him
and Warsaw. and also places the Ger
mans in a position to move against the
lluS River front should this be decided
upon.
BritiSh military critics however, re-
fuse to believe that Grand Duke Nicho-
las commander-in-c in chief OF the Russian
forces. has not provided for all contin-
eencics. or that he was not fairly sure
of the safety OF his troops before indi-
eating to the world that he had de-
cided to take up a new line.
COUNTRY AROUND WARSAW

Dispatches received here say the
country around Warsaw has been put
to the torch. while the city itself has
been denudcd of everything that might
he of use to the Germans If it falls into
their hands. II may even he some
days before the Tcutons occupy the
Polish capital, for the Russians are
still delivering heavy blows at their
opponents. and are gaining some loc;,
successes. However. military critics
say these local successes will not af-
feet the Russian plan of falling back
TO Il shorter and stronger front.
As soon as the present operations
against Russia are concluded whether
or not they succeed in destroying any
large part OF the Russian army. 1t is
expected that the Germans will turn
ever. will take II couple OF months at
least
II will. therefore. be Il race between
the Teutonic forces and the British and

THE END
SUBMARINES NOT sEAWoRTHY.
Secretary Daniels Admits SubmersI-
 bles Are Faulty,

hington.-Secretary of the Navy Daniels surprised Washington by vir- tually corroborating the assertions made before the House Committee on Naval Affairs last winter by Comman- der Stirling that the submarines of the Atlantic fotilla were as whole faulty in type and workmanship and unfit for service in case of emergency.
 Mr Daniels statement also tends 10 support the charge made by Repre- sentative Gardner of Massachusetts that six of the twelve submarines assigned to the recent war games were unable to perform service and had to put in for repairs at various times in the course of manoeuvres.
 For the first time Secretary Daniels admitted publicly that the submarines in the Atlantic fotilla are defective in many respects, and he took occa- sion to announce that it is his purpose to make an inquiry with view to as- sisting in perfecting submarines for use by the American navy.
 The statement is in striking con trast to announcement made by Sec retary Daniels on May in which he pointed with pride to the fact that the second and fourth divisions of the At lantic fiotilla had arrived at New York from Pensacola, Fla, after "one of the longest steady runs ever accomp- lished by American submarines. Sec retary Daniels said then that this run was the answer to the charge made last fall that the submarines of the second division were in "unseaworthy condition"
 Tn his latest statement the Secre- tary of the Navy refers to the "too frequent breakdown of submarines" and says he is determined if possible to ascertain the cause and find rem edy to prevent accidents that have from time to time put American sub marines out of commission.
 Mr Daniels took occasion to an nounce that bids will be invited for the construction of twenty-five sub marines authorized by the Sixty-third Congress Of these two are to be sea going submarines, which, MT. Daniels said, i've are going to try and make the last word in such craft"
