AUSTRIANS ADMIT
ITALIAN GAINS
Retire on Upper IsonzO Before
Superior FOrceS-Claim
RepulSes Elsewhere.

London, July 91.-Austrian official
reports tonight finally admit Italian
gains on the upper lsonZo at Nal
borghetto, although they claim their
repulse on the Carinthian and Tyrol
can frontiers. Attacks on Gorilla have
been suspended. though the artillery
is still engaged in intermittent duels.
The Vienna official report follows:
THE Italian infantry attacks in the
district Of Gorilla yesterday were COM
nletely suspended The enemys artil-
lery continues to fire large quantities
Of ammunition.
an the Carinthian frontier districts
several engagements occurred. Three
Italian battalions. after artillery prep

finally was completely repulsed after
hard fighting. An Italian attack near
Lodinut PAS, north of PoularO. also
was repulsed in hand grenade en-
gagemcnt.
"On the frontier ridge, south Of NAL

ments evacuated observation posts in
the face of superior enemy forces.

Monte Cristalla district was sangIi-
narily rcpulsed"

CITY OF BROKEN HEART,
POLAND CALLS WARSAW
Since 1865 the City, Which Was Once the Capital
of Europe's Warriors Has Been Prey
of MANY Nations

1864 Catherine Of Russia, the greatest
and vilest woman who ever sat on a
throne. gained through questionable di-
plomacy the throne of Poland for one
OF her paramours, Stanislaus Ponia-
towski.
First Partition Of Poland.
The love Of freedom ever burned
bright in the Polish heart. and the
threat of Russian domination caused an
uprising, which was in absolute accord
with GATHERINGS plans. Russian troops
were poured into Poland, Warsaw was
captured, Cracow was taken, the
patriots were absolutely dispersed and
the first partition Of Poland took place.
Outlying portions became the property
of the unholy trinity of Russia. Austria
and Prussia.
The Poles were disheartened. but not
crushed. in 1894 Kosciuszko. whose love
Of freedom had been famed into n
blaze by his service in the armies OF
the Thirteen Colonies, headed revolt
in Warsaw. The Russians were driven
out. They returned under General
Suvarof, met the patriots ill-trained
troops in a fierce battle, in which Kos
ciuszko was killed, and put down the
instruction with terrible cruelty.
Napoleon Captures Warsaw.
Swedes, Russians, Germans and Aus
trians had at one time or another at
tackled the unhappy country. In 1906
Napoleon closed brilliant campaign
with the capture Of Warsaw and tore
by force from Russi... Prussia and Aus
tra the land they had filched from Pc.
land. lie established the Duchy OF
Warsaw, which remained only while his
power was at its zenith and crumbled
after Waterloo.
With Napoleon ended Poland's last
hope of nationality. Her dominion was
once more divided among her ancient
enemies, and Russia gained control OF
Warsaw, which she has continued TO
hold until now. Even her cruel domino
ton could not wholly suppress the
spirit of Polish independence. lnsurrec-
tions broke out in 1890, and again in
1868, at Warsaw. They were put down
with great harshness and the leaders
were sent to Siberia. During and i'm
mediately after the Russo-Japanese
War riotings almost amounting to revo-
luton boiled in the streets of Warsaw
Many persisted under the lances Of the
C0ssacks and many more were trans
ported TO Siberia.
4 Great Commercial City.
The city to-day, despite its past
trials. is regarded as the greatest COM
mercial city of Eastern Europe. In
times of peace its population is close
to the million mark. 1t is strong in
manufactures of varied kinds, turning
out large quantities of boots, shoes,
silver-plated ware, hosiery, gloves and
millinery. 1t is the great clearing
house for iron. steel, wool and leather,
which are shipped over the railway
lines which connect it, in times OF
peace. with Vienna. Berlin, Kiev, Mos
COW, Danzg and Petrograd.
Warsaw is famed in Russia for its
splendid buildings and vast public gar
dens. 1t contains a Russian university
and a wonderful library. The centre OF
the town is the Sigismund Square,
oy erlooked by the ancient palace OF the
Polish kings, now the seat of the Rus
sian Governor.

81 hereby sOlemnly declare that we

coming months. maybe years, of
this terrible struggle.

Zurich, July 3l.-War between Ger

RETURNED RESERVISTS
LOSE CITIZEN RIGHTS
Aliens Must Begin Anew To
Be Naturalized Here.

Washington, July Would-be
American citizens who have gone back
TO fight for their fatherlands have lost
their standing so far as acquiring
American citizenship is concerned.
Should they return 20 America they
Will have the same status "a the i'm
migrant coming for the first time. This
was decided to-day by the Department
of Labor, which pointed cut that aliens
seeking naturalization must take the
oath of allegiance TO the United States
and forswear their allegiance to the
country from which they came. In en-
listing in a foreign army, however, an
oath is taken which makes null and
void all that part of the process Of
naturalizstiok through which they
may have gone.

BRITISH EFFORT
MUST Be GREATER
J. L. GarVin Sees No Sue
cess Without Conscript
Army of 100000.
LBy Gable 70 The Trihunel

London. Aug. il. l.. Garvin, writ
ing to-day in "The Observer" after
reviewing the year of war. saws with
regard to the future: Unit. the Ger
man man-power is still further reduced
upon the principle which he was among
the first to recognize and by methods
which the Allies can devise in COM
nor there can be no escape in the
west from conditions Of siege and
counter siege or from the logic of a
war of attrition. blu. this leaves far
prise than might appear at first sight.
There is only one thing that can be
trusted with certainty 10 turn the
balance in favor Of the Allies. We
have TO bring into play the biggest
fighting factor by far that yet remains
unmobilized in Europe. That factor is
the vet undeployed military strength
Of Great Britain. This is the thing
which has been hitherto wanting in
the war. 1t is the one thing needfui
TO win the war. Without it there can
be no victory. and with il success
is sure. The one master function
Of organization. government and
leadership IN this country is TO con-
ccntrate upon the swift DEVELOPMENT
Of our military man-power. Mr. Lloyd
George is concentrating upon the out
put Of munitions. The Allies have
much more than twice the male uopua-
tion Of the central empires. yet we are
still speculatlng upon where Germany
may strike next. instead of imposing
cur own initiative on the encmv
ITO make holder use of her military
means will be the same as though an
other great power could be added TO
the great alliance. This country will
not be equal to its duty to the Allies
until we have created the factor that
can alone insure the overwhelming of
the enemy east and west by adding the
military power Of 100000 Britons in
arms to that silent supremacy at sea
which is as complete as Nelson ever
won"

Embassy Admits Pending
Evacuation of Warsaw,
and Gives Reasons.
CITY'S STRATEGIC
VALUE NOT GREAT
Official Statement Hints Crucial
Battle Must Be on Middle
Reaches of Niemen.

Washington, July 31.-In response
to request for statement on the
present situation at Warsaw. the Rus
sian Embassy tonight gave out the
following:
"The reasons for the probable evac-
uation of Warsaw are these: A vast
number Of men with full equipment
and amply supplied has been directed
against the Russian forces in the Po-
lsh capital On the western front (in
Poland) there mas been concentrated
nearly the entire Austro- Hungarian
army, excepting the forces assigned to
duty on the Italian border, and in adj
ditiOn seventy divisions Of the German
army. supported bv nearly all the Cor
nan cavalry. Furthermore. the Turks
have diverted a portion of the Rus
sian army to the Caucasus.
GAS a result of the exceptional de-
velopment Of German and some Aus
trian industries. the enemies Of Rus
STA dispose Of enormous quantities OF
artillery, machine guns and rifles and
a most abundant supply OF ammum-
ton. Russia has encountered tenn
porary difficulty in supplying her
forces with sufficient arms and ammu-
milton TO fight against an enemy so
plentifully equipped as Germany and
Austria Hungary; nevertheless. the
most active measures are being taken
TO remedy this deficiency.
This lack Of arms and ammunition
is the reason why Russia has adopted
a defensive mode Of warfare. Although
not so plentifuly supplied with the

on this river. Consequently, as FAR
back as 1910 Russia withdrew a por-
ton of her forces from this territory
into interior provinces and established
her principal line Of defence along the
middle reaches Of the River Niemen
and thence in a southeri%-t1tfeetion as
far as Brest!itovsk."
