dred thousand Germans. under Gem
eral Won Gallwitz. have begun ter
rifle drive southwark In an attenpt
to cut the Warsaw Petrograd rail-
way by crossing the river Bug at
Vyskof. thirty miles northeast Of
Warsaw.
Their aim is to seize the railway at
Tlusez, twenty miles northeast OF
Warsaw, and surround a part of the
Russian armies still holding the sal
lent around Warsaw. Won Gallwitz
Is equipped with heavy guns of all
caliber, and has been supplied with
fresh troops. presumably from the
western battle front. He evidentlv
has been ordered to batter in by
quick, smashing blows the northern
defenses to the capital and force the
eity's fail without further delay.
The official dispatches today placed
the advance guards of this German
force southeast of Olsaki, on the rail-
way leading to Vysl1of, and thence
over the Bug, but did not Indicate
their exact distance from the river.

near Vyskof, are good, and that
there is no ground for the belief that
the Germans can crush their way
through to the Warsaw Petrogrsd
railway by a short campaign. ON
the contrary. ii was declared pos
sible that Russian tenacity and
stamina may yet prove a match TO
the enemy's superiority in weight Of
guns and metal.
Official dispa tches today dealing

persons were killed and fourteen

destroy the river bridges connecting
Warsaw with it's suburb of Prags, on
the right back of the Vistula, move
that might have hindered the retreat
of the last of the Russian defend

harmlessly into the river.
Military men today turned their at
tention almost exclusively to the
movement on Warsaw from the north
along the Narew and through Vys-

been definitely checked in their at

4ANT[DALS" OF
THE NINTH WARD
FORM FOR WAR


Swearing allegiance to Mayor Ray
mond, and declaring war against
County Counsel Dalrymple and the
organization led by him, the Anti
Dals" in the Ninth ward formally
launched a campaign last night to
secure control of the ward organlza-
tion, which is now i'm the hands of
the regulars.
Candidates for county committee
men in every district of the ward will
be selected to run against the "Dals,"
and from the expression voiced at
last nights meeting it is all over
but the shouting.
The meeting was neid in an empty
store at the corner of Brunswick
and Murray streets which will be
fixed up as a club room and will be
used hereafter as the permanent
headquarters of the "antis." A club
is to be formed which all of the
voters of the ward will be invited to
join, and as an auxiliary organiza-
tion it is the intention to organize
a Young mems club for the purpose
of holding debates and teaching the
young fellows of the ward the prin-
ciples of good government. The per-
manent organization name and
amount of dues to be paid will be
settled at a meeting which will be
held on Wednesday, August IL, at
the club rooms.
Sixteen voters put in an appear
ance at the meeting and this was
considered a good showing by those
who are in charge of the organization.
They pointed out that the weather
were unfavorable for a
larger gathering and that when six
teen men would turn out to a politi-
cal meeting on a night such as last
night was, it was sufficient evidence
that the people of the Ninth ward
were opposed to men who controlled
the ward organization.
Thomas Goldingay was selected
as temporary chairman of the meet
ing. with Alderman Frank w. Cam
as secretary. In opening the meet
