London.-The great Russian ar.
mics, sweeping to new defensive DO
sitions on the Brest-Litovsk line. thus
far have escaped the traps set for
them by the Austro-Germans
Novogeorgievsk. the great in
trenched camp nineteen miles north
west of Warsaw, although closely in
vested, is still held by the Cars
forces, and Immediately south OF Riga
the Russians have beaten back the
Germans.
The exodus of civilians from Riga
continued and the stripping of the
city OF everything of military value
has been practically completed.
With the exception of Novogeor.
gievsk the Russians have evacuated
the whole line of the Vistula River.
and in retiring they destroyed all
the bridges.
Heavy rains are impeding the flight
OF the retreating armies in the dis
trict between the Vistula and Bug
rivers, but it is hindering the move
ments OF the pursuers even more, for
the passage of the Russians is cut
ting up the roads and turning them
into quagmires.
The Russians are said to be attack
ing with great dash and vigor the
advancing Germans and Austrians
whenever they get near enough to
harass their rear guards.
Petrograd's decision to leave the
garrison in Novogeorgievsk was an
nounced. The object is to deprive
the Germans of the use of railway
communication and of the Vistula
River for bringing up supplies for
their armies.
The fortress is situated at the june.
ton of the Vistula, Narew and Wkra
rivers. 1t has two powerful bridge
heads. eight citadels and twenty-four
redoubts containing eleven and
twelve inch batteries. 1t is asserted
by Russian military experts that an
army corps can hold out there for
many months, as the camp is pro.
tected by massive earthworks. which
nave been enlarged and improved
since the Russians were compelled tc
begin their retirement
The laying of siege to Novogeor
gievsk may prove one of the most in
/ -eresting operations of the war. as II
VIII show whether earthworks are
less susceptible to the fire of higf
explosives than are cupola forts.

WARSAW FALLS TO GERMANS
BAVARIANS LEAD THE ENTRY
RUSSIANS REACH SECOND LINE
MucOvite Army Reported to Have Reiterated in Safety
Teutons Checked at Riga
NovoGEoRGIEvSK WILL BE DEFENDED BY CAR

Petrograd, via London.-An official
communication issued here says:
"In view of conditions and the gen.
eral situation our troops west of War
saw have received orders TO fall back
on the right bank of the Vistula.
According to reports received the
order was carried out and the troops
which were covering Warsaw retired
without being attacked. toward the
new front assigned to them.
They blew up behind them all the
bridges over the Vistula."
Berlin.-The capture of Warsaw by
the Bavarian forces under Prince
Leopold of Bavaria was announced
here and was followed by the widest
outburst of popular enthusiasm seen
since the beginning of the war.
The news spread quickly through
out the empire, and from one end of
the country to the other flags were
flying and crowds were cheering. The
people gave themselves over to the
greatest demonstration OF universal
rejoicing in the whole reign OF the
present Kaiser, and at late hour
the streets were still filled with sing
ing crowds.
Although the honor OF occupying
the Polish capital fell to Prince
Leopold, the victory really was won
by the troops under Field Marshals
Won 'Hindenburg and Won Mackensen
who made untenable the Russian pc
sitions and made the actual capture OF
the city only an incident.
The German people, as whole, eX
press pleasure at tribute paid to
the bravery of the Russian defenders
of Warsaw by the German Army
Headquarters and it enhances their
feeling of pride in the victory.
So sure had the German authorities
been OF the fall of Warsaw that prepa
rations for the appointment of civil
governor and the installation of a
civil administration centred there are
complete.
The Governor will, it is understood
be a prominent German fnancier
Some difficulties over questions o!
precedence may arise, as the civil
Governor necessarily must act under
the military commander, but cannot
outrank him. These questions, how
ever, may perhaps be settled by the
selection of a member OF the royal
house for military commander.

ITALIANS DEFEAT FOE.

London. - The German campaign
against Warsaw continued to develop
but the advantages gained were so
slight and the Russian resistance was
so strong that the situation gave rise
to the belief that the Kaiser's forces
are hampered by lack of ammunition.
The German attack assumed the
greatest intensity in the advance on
the Bug River. In this region the
attacking forces lost 10000 men
many of them falling before violent
Cossack charges At Orr the Ger
mans are retreatng and are in dan
ger of being surrounded and annihilat
ed by the enemy
The Austrians are reported every
where falling back before the Italian
onslaught They are preparing to
evacuate their first line of defense in
the Isonzo region from Travilnolo to
Avisia. In the Tyrol the Italians are
forcing the Austrians across the rail
way
Though the assault on Warsaw has
been moving slowly, previous expert
ence with German tactics has been
that a temporary slowing down usual
ly is followed soon by greater efforts
So when Field Marshal Won Macken
sen has completed his present opera
tons in the southeast, Field Marshal
Won Hindenburg, it is expected. will
renew his assault on the Narew front
General Sir Ian Hamilton, comman
der of the allied forces in the Oar
danenes, records a successful attack
by the Australians and New ealanders

London.-Reuter's correspondent al
Petrograd transmits the following:
THE Bourse Gazette learns from
an unimpeachable source that the
German Emperor made an offer of
peace to Russia through the King OF
Denmark
The answer sent to the king stat
ed that the question of peace nego-
uatlons could not be raised at the
present time"
a dispatch from Petrograd quotes
the newspaper Nechernee Vremya, as
saying:
We learn on good authority. that
Germany through Denmark proposed
to Russia a separate peace. Russia
to receive Galicia while Germany
would retain the western district of
Poland. representative of the for
elgn office categorically denied that
there was the remotest possibility of
any peace negotiations. In the lob
bies OF the Duma the proposal was
dismissed as unworthy of Serious con-
sideration."
The Daily Nails correspondent in
Petrograd in dispatch to his paper
says:
TO the failure of the German mill
tary power to envelope Russia's Wis
lula armies. there has been added.
therefore, the failure of her diplo-.
macy to detach Russia from the al
lies.
Russia every day is putting her
self better into shape for beginning
the war over again and carrying it
this time TO q successful conclusion.
The government has conceded the
right of free speech to the members
of the Duma and has allowed the
leaders of industry TO take part in
the reorganization which is required
to produce what the army needs.
The ministers are urged to go
step further by releasing workYlen
from certain restrictions heetofore in
force and associating them with the
great national task of regeneration. ;"

In military circles it is predicted
that the Russians will exacuate the
whole district of the Bug-Vistula an

Greece Refuses Bulgaria.
London.-Efforts of the allies to
buy Bulgarias neutrality have been
baked by Greece. A delegation of
Macedonian deputies called upon Pre-

and asked that compensation be
pledged to Bulgaria to prevent her
from joining on the side of Germany.
! Greece will not cede one inch of
territory to Bulgaria" was the sub
stance of the premier's reply.
