DEEM RUSSIAN
CAMP A|CN RACE
AGAINST Time

Petrograd, Aug 4. P. NJ, Via Lon
for the line Of Kovno, Grodno and
Brest- Litovsk, in whic hthe Germans
are trying to forestall the Russians and
ecure a foothold there while the sum-
mer still favors military operations, is
the view held by local military author
tiles
Direct operations against Warsaw
concern to the Germans than the BUSH
ness Of advancing their wings through
a country which, with the approach of
autumn. will become impossible.
1t is even suggested that the Ger
mans do not desire to force IN evacu-
alton of Warsaw but are bent instead
on OBTAINING the army there, while
of an orderly retirement eastward and
subsequent fertilization along the
mentioned line.
Observers seen in the German oper-
atoms to the east of the Vistula riv-
er. in the vicinity Of Matzievieze, a de-
sign to cut the railroad from Ivangor-
cd, compel the evacuation Of that fort
ress. and open the way for Field Mar
shall Won Mackensen to the Warsaw
Brest- Litovsk railway. The Matzie-
vitze-Ivangorod operation is regarded
here as the most important at the pres
ent time.
A relatively early evacuation of w.
angorod is foreshadowed by the Rus
sian press.
The situation at Mitau, 25 miles
of Riga. is not clearly I'M
derstood here. The Rech says that,
judging by the disposition of the ar
mics of both sides, it may be assumed
that the city has been abandoned by
the Russians.

BRITISH AT PUBLIC MEETINGS
DECLA THEIR FAITH IN THE
JUSTICE OF CAUSE IN THE war

That on the anniversary Of the
war this meeting of the people OF
London records its infief1xihle determ
ination to continue to a victorious end
the struggle in the maintenance of
those ideals of liberty and justice
which are the common and sacred
cause Of all our allies"
Mr.. Balfour said there was no need
to impress upon the meeting the re-
solve of the nation to pursue the great
controversy to the end. England. he
continued. had never professed to a
great army and at the start only Of
fered to send out 10000 men. The
OF the British army already
were three times that number. What
England had done far exceeded what
was originally expected, but it was
only part of what she was going to do.
He was confident that historians
would say that as this country had
played it's part in maritime matters.
so it had in no sense fallen short Of
what it could do in military matters.
ssThe Canadian premier, after eulo-
giving the British army. said he was
assured Of the triumph OF the cause.
Canada, he declared. was inspired by
an inflexible determination to do her
part.

charge of having committed an assault
on an unnamed infant
The municipal court room was
crowded to its capac city at the open
ing of the session this morning in
anticipation OF hearing on these
two cases, but the spectators were
doomed to disappointment, for as the
session drew along toward noon with
the regular docket still Uttered up
with small criminal cases, Attorney
William H. Murray. counsel for DR..
Turner, relinquished his original inten-
ton of having the case heard. Short,
before noon Recorder Nixon declared
recess and went to his chambers,
where the principals and attorneys in
both cases waived hearing and fur
nished bail for their clients when
probable cause was found. The Ogle
girl was represented by Attorney Guy
NJ. Sturgis.
This case arose from the arrest of
Elizabeth A. Ogle at the Union Station
on July "a with a suit case in her
possession in which was found the
nude body of a baby girl. Oder Of
chloroform coming from the suit case
aroused the suspicious of Officer
O'Neill and Special Officer Chase and
they placed the girl under arrest.
The baby. which was readily reviv-
ed following the arrest of the mother.
was placed in the Holy Innocents'
Home on Mellen street and at the
present time is apparently healthy and

GERMAN PAPERS
EXPLANATION OF
CAMPAIGNS DELAY

Amsterdam. Via aLondon. Aug. 4.
3.45 A. M-The apparent pause in the
Austro- German advance against Rus
STA is explained by :he Cologne Ca
Zette as follows:
Unity of action can very we'll re-
quire a standstill of shorter or longer
duration in order that an even and
compact course Of operations may be
assured and prepared. The longer the
lines of communication become, the
more carefully must the mechanism
by which reinforcements Of every
kind are supplied be worked out.
There must be no lack of reserve
supplies Of men. food and ammunition.
The condition of roads and railways
often puts a temporary check on an
advance. The activity of the enemy
also must be taken into account. His
counter strokes create situations that
must be cleared up before we resume
the main object Of our attack"
