GERMANS MASSlN5 FORCES

Steady Progress is Being Made

LONDON, Aug. 14.-Steady progress
for the forces of Prince Leopold OF
Bavaria eastward from Warsaw ts
taken here to Indicate that the Ger
mans are now n1assing their main
movement on drive through the RUS
sian center. Both Petrograd and Ber-
lin agree that the Germans have occu-
pied the towns of Sokolow and Siedlce
and Lukow, forming German front
about sixty miles east of Warsaw
and fifty miles wide.
This is more than half way to the
Brest-Litovsk. which Grand Duke
Nicholas the commander in chief
hopes to make the new center of his
defense. 1t is now regarded as prob
able that this point will be aban-
doned owing to the speed OF the Ger
man advance since the fall OF Warsaw
and the continued pressure Of me
armies of General Ga11witz and Scholz
and Eichhorn and Flack forming a
semi-circle closing in towards the
North.
Petrograd claims that the Germans
have been checked between Bonte-
wesch and Dvinsk. Berlin. however,
does not concede this, but any event

moment, however. the intensity OF the
Aghting is giving way to q scramble
Of the retiring forces to avot dthe en-.
Yeloping net and the RAPID advance OF
the Germans to gather the full fruit OF
the fall of Warsaw.
The outcome of these movements
probably will be indicated within q
few days-whether Crank Duke
Nicholas will be able to resume the
offensive along the new front or Will

tirement.
