LONDON. August 1.- Unable to advance in the west, the plan to eliminate France from the conflict completely overturned. Germany has turned to Russia, in an effort to do to Russia what she failed to do against France This latest effort is on a much more extensive scale than that of year ago against France; Il is the most tremendous military effort the world ever has seen. But it's success or failure will be meas ured. from a military viewpoint, not by whether Warsaw is or is not cap tured. but by whethcr the Russian army does or does not escape the jaws of the German crusher.
 The principal section of attack may be divided into three sectors: (a) The Narew sector. northwest of Warsaw. between the Wkra and the Narew through Ciechanow and Ostro lenka ;e (h) the Vistula sector west of Warsaw. along the Groiec-Blonie- Ciechanow line. and co the Lublin sector. southeast of Warsaw along the line of the railroad from Ivan gorod to Cholm.
 Ii is along these sectors that the ATUnl Ol lnt NItIDidl dtldtk IS DtlHS delivered. and success in any sector will probably mean the retirement of the Russians from Warsaw to the line of the Bug. The objective of the army attacking in the first sector (a) is. as it has been since the early days of the war. the Warsaw Petro- grad railway, one of the three great railroad systems centering in and supplying the city. The progress of the Teutons in this sector has not been particularly marked and in it. self therefore, constitutes no great element of danger. Przasnyz. which was evacuated by the Russians last month. is the center of this sector but it's fall does not seem to have opened to any extent the German way through.
 Along the second sector, however. he sector of the Vistula, von Hin denburg has made notable progress, and it is his operations more than those of the armies supporting his

abilities will the new situation pre- sent?
 Before Q suggestion can be attemp ted, it must be realized that the least the fall of Warsaw can mean, aside from the capture of an impor- tant railroad center and manufactur- ing city. is the retirement of the whole western front of the Russian behind the line of the Vistula and the Bug. The Russian line will then be strengthened out and materially shortened by the flattening out of the Warsaw salient. A further German could probably therefore be checked. provided the Russians am impoverished
 But to this preSuppoSeS q German intention to advance, and there seems to be no logical reason why she should wish to go beyond the line of these rivers. If the Russians make good their retreat it will be perfect ly evident that the destruction of the Russian army and it's consequent elimination as a fighting force will be an impossibility The best Ger
 
 ize it at least for a while, and no where else on the eastern front can this be done so effectively as along the line of the Vistula.
 The defensive possibilities of the Vistula have been already pointed cut In addition. it is crossed on 2 large scale by railways only in the vicinity of Warsaw. As modern ar mics can advance only along railway lines. it is obvious that if the Ger mans hold the railway bridges cross ing the Vistula around Warsaw they hold also the crossing of that river. Therefore, Germany, having seized these bridges. could render q Russian offensive impossible for at least some time.
 And not only that. Germany could and would dig herself in, and. just as she has done in the west, in order to make possible her gigantic move ment against Russia. hold the Rus sians in check behind the Vistula with comparatively small forces. while the remainder of her forces could be withdrawn for use against France. against Italy. and against the forces in the Dardanelles.

APPROPRIATIONS MIDDLE UP
 FOR ARGUMENT THIS MORNING

a writ oc mandamus against State Au- ditor J. C. Callaghan comes up for hearing.
 At the beginning of the fiscal year a month ago, Auditor Callaghan an nounced that he would not issue any warrants for claims presented under the new appropriations, until their le- gality had been passed upon by the courts Some twenty state depart ments are affected by the auditors de- cision. and claims from these depart ments were assigned to Boyce, who as secretary of the tax commission had already tried to get some postage stamps and failed.
 Attorney G. P. Bullard, who repre- sents the state auditor has already filed motion to quash the writ and dis miss the complaint, and it is this mo tion that will be argued this morning Attorney George J. Stoneman repre- sents Poyce. The attorney general s office will also be represented. It is expected that the court will hand down a decision in the case early next week. The case has attracted wide attention among the members of the legal pro- fession and the court room will prob ably be crowded with attorneys who are divided in their opinions on the matter.

LONDON, Aug. 1.-The Navy League, through it's executive com mittee. today published an appeal to the government to seize all German Austrian and Turkish merchant ships detained in the ports of the British Empire 'as a set off, in some meas ure, against the destruction of British merchant vessels without warning by German submarines.
 The appeal states that 119 German, 20 Austrian and II Turkish ships were detained in British ports at the outbreak of war; and these were also IS German and 3 Austrian ships de- tained in Egyptian ports, making a total of I'll ships detained in all. In addition 119 German ships, Austria n and Turkish have been seized on entering British and Colonial ports or upon the high seas. making a total of BOP enemy vessels in the posses sion of the British government. The captured vessels are, of course, sub ject to Prize Court decisions. but the detained vessels are apparently being held up pending the conclusion of the war.
 Surely it is the obvious duty of the government to turn to practical account very vessel in their hands for the benefit of British interest. says the appeal. The destruction of

 ATHENS, Aug. Tributes to the cleverness of Turkish snipers in Galli- pCIi in concealing themselves from the British sharpshooters are paid in series of letters received here from British officer.
 ''The Turks" he says are brave and clever Their snipers frequently place small trees on their backs and so crawl up almost to the trenches. Yesterday l watched a bush which appeared to be shaking a lot. despite the fact that there was no wind. I fired into it a couple of times with my rifle. It moved quickly enough then.
 Some of the Turks paint themselves and their rifles with a splitch of green and are then practically invisible among the herbage Snipers operating in sandy or muddy soil daub them selves from head to foot with mud Among the bare rocks they are like chamelcons half green and half dull brown, like a piece of sun dried moss''

Hanks that constitute the greatest menace to the Polish capital. His forces have been battling the Rus sians at the confluence of the Vistula and the Bug. facing the fortress of Novy Dvor in the eastern angle of the Eistula and the Bug, and the Russian forces south of the Vistula.
 In the third sector, that of Lublin, entire military interest must center in the railroad from Ivangorod to Cholm Along this line the pressure is as great as along the Vistula sec tion.
 Although the particular section of this road between LupIin and Cholm is the most difficult for both Aus trians and Germans to attack, due to the character of the country across which their artillery must be transported and the absence of roads which would facilitate this traispor- tatiOn, the reasons why the attack is being made along his sector are simple.
 In the first place, the object of the combined German drive from the three directions is not only to cap ture Warsaw. but to cut off and compel the surrender of the Russian troops occupying the huge salient which has Warsaw as a center. Were the Teuton attack to be made against Kovel further to the east, where the attacking troops would have behind them the excellent sys- tenn of Galician railways radiating from Lemberg, they would be too far from Warsaw to close in upon it in time to reap the benefits of his sue cess. Moreover. to attack Kovel would mean that the supply columns would have to skirt around the Bug on an arc. as the banks of that river are lined with marsh belts which make it's crossing a matter of grave difficulty. The Germans are. there fore, taking the shortest and most di- rect route. and the route which, if they succeed. will be most prolific of results.
 Military critics of Eorope are al most unanimously of the opinion that Warsaw must fall, and that within a very short time. If it does fall and the Russian army makes good its retreat before it is overwhelmed by the victorious Teutons. what pos

Taking for his theme Faith and Obedience the Essentials of Efficient
 Living" Bishop W. R. Lambuth of the Methodist Episcopal church.
 South. delivered a masterly sermon at the Central church yesterday nor ming The bishop selected for the morning lesson the story of Abraham. who by faith, went out, not knowing Whither he went looking for a city whose builder and maker is God and from it drew a lesson for every person in the large audience.
 The measure of man is his idea of God" declared Bishop Lambuth It is the measure of all that he is, the measure of his civilization and citizenship A man isn't worthy Of the name of man who doesn't reali9se the privileges of citizenship in this world and the next. The God idea is fundamental. If you haven't taken God into your life one of these days he'll take you into His life and con- front you.'
 Comparing the Christian idea of God with the heather conception.
 Bishop L.ambuth declared that one of the first differences was the idea of personality To the Buddhist he said. God is a vanishing quantity, a being without personality or indiV- duality, and for that reason the
 Buddhist is a pessimist, lost in the fog of generalities. Christianity on the other hand deals with a personal God It is optimistic, for it deals with a constructive personality, il- Iuminated and interpreted to us by Christ in the terms of fatherhood.
 Another attribute of God is holi- ness. and another sovereignty" said Bishop Lambuth. This is an age of irreverence. There is no canker that eats at the heart of religious life in the United States like irreverence. In the recognition of Gods sovereignty there is too much of the passive spirit that says Thy will be done and rests there. We are too apt to say that in time of affliction or suf- fering instead of saying I put my will with Gods will. The man who says that, positively surcharges his life with God It is the duty of ev- cry man to say this, to live up to the highest measure of efficiency. and he can only do this by recog- nizing the sovereignty of God ana aligning himself with it.
 Obedience makes strong men. not weddings. Look at military life. | do not defend militarism. There is curse on it, and there ought to be. But it is obedience that makes men efficient soldiers. and fits them for service Abraham obeyed God. and sor. He asked God to spare Sodom be the builder of a city. A visionary is not always a man of vision. Abra- ham was a man of vision.
 Faith is the far look the look ahead" said the bishop. Abraham had great power with God, more than any other man in his age, all most any age, because he had faith. He did not know where he was go- ing. but went out looking for the city whose builder and maker was God. He was the pioneer interces- sor He asked God to spare Sodom if there were forty righteous people
