Moscow, it mas been learned that
Warsaw, even at that early date, had
been denuded of virtually everything
that might be useful to the Teutons.
Factories had been stripped of their
machinery and all war stores moved
into the interior of Russia, and the
government of the city left to the Pol
ish population.
Tie Russians also are preparing to
evacuate Riga in the north. The ar
rival of the Germans ten miles south
of that city already has been the cause
of the civilian population departing.
While expressing the fullest conf
dence in tie future, the British mill
tary critics make no attempt to be-
little the achievements of the Teutons
or the effect their success is likely to
have in the near East and the West.
Since early in Nav, when they
started their great counteroffensive in
western Galicia against TIE Russians,
who were debouching through the
Carpathians on to the plains of Hun
gary, the troops of the Germanlc
powers nave cleared the Russians out
of Galicia with the exception OF a
narrow strip of territory in the
Southwest, have recaptured Przemysl
and Lemberg, taken Lublin, Cholm
and Warsaw and are in military oc-
cupation of virtually the whole OF
Poland. What their next move will
be is a matter of conjecture. Some
military observers believe they will
continue to attack the Russians in the
hope of finally crushing them, a task
considered difficult by the fact that
the Russians in their retreat lay the
country waste.
Others of G1e observers think Servia
will be attacked to impress the Bal
kan states, while still others look for
a big offensive in the West. All OF
the observers are Of the opinion that
wherever the new operation is begun
it will be on a big scale.
The Germans also Lave had local
successes in the West, recapturing on
the crest of the line in the Vosges
a portion of the trenches which the
French took from item some time
ago.

GERMANS GET WARSAW.
leopold Takes Polish Cnpital in Name
s. eof Emperor-Hindenburg's Men
Real COnQuerOrS.

London, Aug. 5.-T2e Germans hold
Warsaw, capital of Poland and the
third largest city in the Russian en-
pire. Bavarian troops entered the city
this morning, having taken successive
ly the Blonie lines and the outer and
inner fortresses of the city itself, the
! Russians only fighting in rearguard
actions to allow t,eir main army to
escape
While to the Bavar1ans under Prince
Leopold has fallen the honor of taking
over Warsaw in the name of the Ger

expected to make state entry within
a few days, the real conquerors are

the Vistula to the south Of the city;
and the armies of the Austrian Arch
duke Joseph Ferdinand, and the Ger
man Field Marshal Won Machensen,
advancing norb-ward between the Wis
tula and Bug rivers.
The Russians are fighting desperate
w and stubbornly to check the prog
ress of these four armies and have had
several successes, inficting heavy
losses on their pursuers; but they are
being steadily pressed back, which
made the longer occupation of the
Warsaw Polish salient a hazardous
undertaking.

of the Russian troops and their fierce
counterattacks have gained much val.

At the northeastern end of the line

CITIZENS BRAND COUNCIL
MEN AS "F0UR.FLUSHERS''

With the name of "four-fush-

of a protest from a council room
filed with property owners, the
city commission again today de-
layed action of the regrade of
East 26th street.
A month"; ago the regrade was
taken up and continued over, de-
spite the protest of SO property
owners. Today the same citi-
zens appeared to protest, and the
council, announcing that City At

the matter over until March IL.

HIGH TAXES?
HERE'S WHY!

Watch the Metropolitan Park board!
If you would learn one of the chief causes of ever
increasing taxes look into the way the Tacoma park
commission is spending its money.
Because the park board has irregular meetings
and spends its money with All air of mystery, the
public learns little of the Jastefil methods of this
board. The commission calmly continues from year
to year spending all the money it get hold of and
answering to no one for its extravaganza.
For instances:
Last year the park board spent $1,000 for lava
tory in Wright park 1t is little brick building, not
more than % feet long 1t has marble fittings and
the latest type Of plumbing
Six thousand eight hundred dollars for diminu-
tive rest room The public could have been equally
well served with structure costing not more than
$500 OF 1000.
The park board has just completed residence at
Point Defiance park, costing $500, where the park
foreman will live The superintendent already had
an elaborate residence there but the foreman had to
have one too.
And the park board has gone into the landlord
business, by charging that foreman $25 month rent
The commissions excuse is that it wants it's fore
man handy, in of fire. He couldn't have rented
residence just outside the park? No, the taxpay7
had to dig up $500 for his home. The fore
man lives in swell residence.
And the public pays the bill.
