Their Center Seriously Threaten
ed by General Won Mackensen's
Rapid Advance.

London, Aug. 2.--While the Austro-
Germans continue to tighten tho
wings of their great eastern battle
front, with success at both extremi-
ties, including the occupation of Mis-.
tau, in the north, and further progress
Cholm in southeast Poland, the stu
alton before Warsaw proper remains
unchanges and obscured.
Few additional details have reach
ed London concerning the plans for
the abandonment of the city, but ap-
parently the time has not arrived for
the Russians to relinquish their hold
OF the capital for no word Of its evac-
uation has come to London.
Abandon Railway.
Ivangorod, southeast of Warsaw,
heretofore enormously reported in
vested, is now nearing that stage, in
fact, according to the Berlin an
n0uncement, but from lvangorod east
ward to Cholm and beyond, the Rus
slams, who lad to abandon the rail
way, are fighting most desperately in
an cndeavor to hold up Field Marshal
Won Mackensen's advance into Po-
land, a movement which seriously
threatens the Russians center retir-
ing from Warsaw.
Not Alarmed.
Announcements in the duma at Pc
trograd and by the Russian ambassa-
dor at London, indicate that Russia
and England are anxious to brand as
Cnfounded the recurrent report that
che Russian people are alarmed at
tle great advance the Germans have
made in the west. which might prove
situation unfavorable to the con-
tinued unity OF the Allies. ss
No Hint Of Peace.
no hint of a separate peace or dis
satisfaction over the English policy
comes from any authoritative source
and Count Benckendorff made it plain
that while there may have been some
sensational popular feeling in this
country for diversion in the west
to relieve the strain in Russia, there
had been no criticism emanating from
those who understood the military
situation. ..
