LONDON. July 22.-Though the Aus
tro-German armies pressing the Rus
sian forces defending Warsaw have
made progress at some points they
have not as yet made any serious
breech In the well-fortifed inner lines
defending that city.
The Russians, it is true have been
pressed back to the bridgehead posi-
tions directly west of Warsaw and into
the fortress of Ivangorod. further to
the southeast on the Vistula, but at
these points they probably are in a
better position to offer stubborn resis-
tance to their opponents.
The two attacks from the north
along the Narew River by Field Mar
shall Won Hindenburg and that which
Field Marshal Won Mackensen is d.
recttng from the southeast between the
Vistula and Bug Rivers, either have
been held up or the Germans are wait
ing for an opportune moment to move
forward and catch the Russian armies
should they evacuate Warsaw. At any
rate. the Berlin official statement does
not claim any advance for Won Mac
kensen. and, although 1t states that the
Russians have ceased their counter
attacks along the Narew, it does not
mention any success for Won Hinden-
burg.
MILITARY CRITICS DISCOUNT
Loss OF POLISH CAPITAL
Should the Russians hold Warsaw.
however, 1t would surprise the military
critics In the allied countries, who have
discounted the loss of the city attacked
from all sides by opponents possessed
of superiority in guns and munitions.
Grand Duke Nicholas, although able
to inflict heavy losses on the Austro-
Germans. must consider the safety Of
his armies. the loss OF which would he
much more serious than retirement
from the Polish capital and surround
ing territory.
In the region of Shawl, on the
Dubissa River. and on the Mariampol-
kovno road the Germans claim a Sc
ries of successes, but nothing Is said
Of the nghting nearer Riga, for which
city another German army is heading.
The Argonne and the vosges still
are the scenes OF severe hghting in the
west. The accounts from the opposing
sides still are contradictory, but 1t
would appear that the French have
made some progress in the Vosges. and
that the Germans have Offset this by
a partially successful offensive In the
Argonne.

This is the ''Thornhill'' Wagon
the Wagon that Must Make Good

The best known materials-the labor
of master workmen-the aid of the most
ingenious modern machinery have been
employed to make the Thornhill wagon.
The wheels are made with excessive
care. For the spokes the manufacturers
use the finest hickory-machine driven
to insure the right dish. The hubs are
of oak, thoroughly seasoned and banded
with double refined sable iron.
The holsters are of the best white oak.
They have an iron plate at top and bot
tom, riveted through and through-mul-
Etiplying their strength.
