Thereupon he answers the question in
this wise: What is almost the last
word that can be spoken on universal

fairs was once spoken by that most
gracious and polished author OF the

Samuel J. Andrews, apropos of this

SEND SCOTT TO MEXICO.
Soldiers Sent to Border to Enforce v
S. Demands.

Washington, Aug 5.-That interven'
ton by the United States in Mexico
will be ordered soon was the opinion
in Washington last night, when it be-
came known that at the conference
on the situation in the southern re-
public the representatives of Bolivia,
Uruguay and Guatemala would ap-
prove a plan to send Gen. Hugh l..
Scott, chief of staff, to Mexico with
plenary powers.
1t is felt that Villa is nearing the
end of his power and that Carranza's
own lieutenants will force him into &C
cepting the peaceful course outlined
by the United States. Gen. Scott, who
recently settled the Indian troubles In
Utah, is regarded as the one man su.
premely fitted to deal with the situa-
ton.
Villa troops were beaten by Car
rama forces in battle at Nogales on
United States border. Gen. Funston
has orders to fire on Mexican com
batants if American lives are i'm
periled.

Petrograd, Aug 5.-An official state
ment issued from general headquar-
tiers admits that the Russians have
on Warsaw.
London = After having tried for
three weeks to force the Russians to
eyacuate Warsaw and the Polish sail
ent by encircling movements from the
north and pressure from the west the
Austro- Germans have commenced at
tacks on the fortresses of the capital
and those OF Lomza and Ostrolenka to
the northeast and Ivangorod to the
southeast.
Berlin claims that the Russians
have been driven back to the ad-
vanced defenses of Lomza, that the
Narew has been crossed near Ostro-
lenka; that driven out of their Blonie
positions, the Russians have fallen
back into the outer lines of Warsaw
which the Bavarians are attacking and
that the Austrians have captured the
western part of the fortress of Ivan
gorod Thus, what should prove a de-
cisive battle for the Polish capital has
begun in earnest In the meantime
Field Marshal Won Mackensen is slow
ly advancing from the southeast, be-
tween the Vistula and the Bug, in an
effort to cut off the Russian armies
which apparently are making a leis-
urely exit from Warsaw and the west
ern lines, while General Won Buelow,
in his wider encircling movement
through Courland, has reached Kupi-
schki, some fifty miles west of Dvinsk,
on the Vina-Petrograd railway.
Although the operations of Won
Mackensen and Won Buelow appear to
offer the most dangerous threats to
the retiring Russians. the Russian
general staff is paying more attention
to Field Marshal Won Hindenburg, who
has been trying with more or less sue
cess to force the line of the Narew.
Here the Russians are offering the
most stubborn resistance and, accord
ing to an official dispatch from Petro-
grad, in two battles, of three days
each. succeeded in checking the Ger
mans and inflicting very heavy losses
en- them. The Russians also admit
severe casualties.
When the dispatch was sent, third
battle was in progress. Berlin claims
that in this battle the Germans have
been successful, and have forced a
crossing OF the Narew, near Ostro-
lenka.
