LONDON RESIGNED n EVACUATION BY RUSSIA
 OF CAPITAL OF POLAND
Special to The Times By Associated Press.

LONDON, July 2O-Among the military observers here the uppermost question now is when will Warsaw be evacuated. There does not seem to be any longer a doubt but that the Polish capital will be abandoned and all coniecturng is on the question of time. Considerable pessimsm is manifested over the apparent inability of the Russians to withstand the TeutOnic attacks although it is believed that lack of supplies and munitions is the real reason for the constant retiring movement, and it is earnestly hoped that the Dardanees can be forced so that supplies can be rushed into Russia via the Mediterranean General HnGenberg now virtually controls all of Courland, and the Austro- German armies have crossed the Bug river. The continued occupancy of Warsaw by the Slav win expose the Russian troops to the danger of tremendous dis aster. It is confidently expected that the Russians will retire before the city is completely invested and save their forces until supplies arrive when they can take the offensive again. The capture of Riga cannot now be long delayed, and the Germans will then have new naval base and be able to clear the Baltic Sea of mines

ORIGIN OF I HE V|TR|ERS IN
 FRANCE

PARIS, July 2O.-The Bulletin Des Armees gives the following explana- tion of the origin of the name ""Vitriers"-glass cutters - familiarity given to the Alpine Chasseurs.
 It was during the revolution of 1S4S when the shopkeepers of the rues du Cygne, du Cloitre Saint Jacques, Saint Denis and Saint Martin raised barri- cades in the streets that the Chas- seurs were brought from Versailles to charge them. They were received with fire from between the slats of window blinds as we'll as from the barricades. The officer in command summoned the inhabitants to open their blinds and windows.
 Every pane in the windows that were not promptly opened was in stantly smashed. Two days later. after the success of the revolution; the chasseurs marched back to Yer sailles and the people of Paris amused themselves in their usual way by jok- ing them with such quips as there are the 'vitriers passing by" The news papers took up the word and 1t has stuck.

ENGLAND SPENDING HUGE SUMS TO CARRY IN WAR
 FIFTEEN MILLION \ DAY
Special to The Times By Associated Press.

LONDON, July 20.-In response to an inter rogatory propounded by member of the House of Commons today, Premier Herbert Asquith, told the Commoners that the war expenditures of the empire for the first seventeen days of July amounted to two hundred and fifty million dollars or an average of almost fifteen million per day. The expenditures showed daily rising tendency and it was more than likely that they would continue to increase daily until winter set in, and activities on the firing line quieted down. Part of the expenditures was due to the fact that Great Britain was loaning money to its allies, and the premier said that this item of loans was likely to grow with the addition to the cause of the allies of certain states who were now neutral These states were not mentioned by name but Asquith intimated they were preparing for war

ELECTRIC CHRISTMAS GIFTS.
Still New Enough to Have Novelty
Element Dear to Americans.

Electric Christmas gifts still possess
that element of novelty dear to the
American heart and thus solve the
problem of giving Christmas gifts that
are different" Imagine how pleased
most men would be to receive an cleo
trio shaving cup or electric cigar light

kerchiefs las usual
teakettle for grandmother. q sam
ovar for mothers 5 o'clock teas, a
chafng dish for the college girl, disk
stove for the bachelor, fiatiron or
sewing machine motor for the prac-
tical housewife--all these novel and
useful gifts will be appreciated by the
recipients.
1t should not be forgotten that these
electric Christmas gifts are all useful
gifts. Each of these devices is de-
signed to do some one thing better
than it can be done any other way,
whether it is to percolate coffee. toast
bread or furnish the power for run
ming a sewing machine.
The presence of an electric perco-
Iator on any table adds a touch of
something different and something
better. The electric tea samovar is
rapidly becoming quite the thing for
