|spondent, Stanley Washburn, who was
in Warsaw up to the moment of the
evacuation by the Russians, sends q
dispatch describing the hours that
preceded the fall of the city. The
dispatch. which is dated Warsaw
August /, p. NJ, says
The fall of the city is a matter of
Il few hours. Standing on the new
bridge, one can see great German
shells and volcanic fumes, while
heavy reverberations shake the city.
Across the Vistula hangs our obser-
walton balloon, while the sky is dotted
with German aeroplanes, soaring hith-
er and thither amid smoke puffs of
bursting Shrapncl from our guns. I
counted IA shells aimed at one aero
plane.
From the roof of the Hotel Bristol
is visible the smoke of burning build
ings in the suburbs which have been
lired by the shells from the German
artillery. The city is deserted by all
but the Poles, who intend to remain.
and the evacuation, save for the last
of the infantry and guns, seems to be
practically completed The last train
departed for Petrograd yesterday. and
the last to BrestLitovsk goes tonight.
Meanwhile the German aeroplanes
continue their senseless destruction of
lives and property. On Monday MANY
bombs were dropped, and 1t is report
ed that 25 people were killed. One
bomb fell between the Hotel de TEu-
rope and the new church, and others
in all quarters of the city.
