According to a report from Berlin the Teutons are still crowding the Russians in Poland and in the Baltic provinces in Russia. It is stated that the Teutons have reached a point within 15 miles of Warsaw. and that they are closing in on that city from two directions. They have taken Radon, an important place 57 miles south of Warsaw, and have taken Bloni, which is 15 miles west of Warsaw
 In a dispatch from Amsterdam. it is stated that there is general opinion there that the Russian de- fense will collapse soon, and that this will enable the Teutons to turn their combined attention toward the allies in the west
 A London dispatch states that the allies in the west are preparing to withstand the expected aggressive campaign of the Germans, after the present Russian campaign is brought to an end

from London that Warsaw has been evacuated by the Russians. but the report is not verified. IL is prob ably not correct, however, for dis patches from Berlin announce that il will take about two weeks for the Germans to capture the city.
 As the Russians retire in the vi cinity of Warsaw and Riga, they are destroying all the property left behind them, so Berlin dispatches state. Villages are burned and crops laid waste. it is declared. for the purpose of preventing the Tcutons from profiting from them.
 One of the dispatches from Der lin states that there is a general belief in that city that as soon a. Warsaw falls. Russia will sue for peace.

sians from concentrating their troops at one place.
 Several places of importance are reported to have been taken by the Teutons. One of these is the city of Windau on the Baltic sea, west of the Gulf of Riga. Another is Takkum, short distance from Riga. The Teutons are reported to have taken Ostrolenika, an impor- tant city in Poland, on the Narew river. not far from Warsaw.
 South of Warsaw it is stated that there is much severe fighting, but that the Russians are holding their own there. It is reported from Lon don that the Russians in evacuating their positions north of Warsaw. which was reported yesterday, left behind a large amount of stores
 From Athens. Greece. comes the report that the Queen of Greece had received a letter from her bro lher, the Emperor or fefmany, Tn which it is stated that the Teutons have paralyzed the Russians in the east and that they would soon turn their attention to the allies in the west.
 The threatened general defeat of the Russians in the western war zone is reported in a dispatch from London to have filled the English people with diSmaY.

Monday

Reports received in London indi- cate that the Russians are about to eyacuate Warsaw, the Polish capital. which is the present objective point for the Teutons in Russia. It seems that the Germans are concentrating their efforts to defeat the Russians. and that they plan to then turn their entire attention upon the allies in France and Belgium.
 In a dispatch received today from London, it is stated that the Rus sians may retire from Russian Po- land. Indeed, in another dispatch, coming from Berlin. it is stated that the Russians have already begun to retreat northward and westward from the vicinity of Warsaw, in the direction of theNarew river. This is taken by the Germans tQ mean that the Russians will leave the field without much more warfare and the news is the cause of much optimism in Berlin.
 According to report from Lon don, the Germans have issued sort of ultimatum to Roumania, which is expected to make that little country determine soon what she will do in the matter of going to war.
 In a dispatch from Geneva, SwitZ- erland, it is stated that the diplo- matic relations between Italy and Serbia are strained, as a result of the latter's having sent troops into Albania. As both nations are fight ing the Teutons, it may be expected that they will not really come to war.
 That the Italian troops are mak ing important gains in the vicinity of Lana pass, in the Carnic region, is the report that comes from Rome. In another dispatch from the same place it is stated that the Austrians have assumed the offensive in the IsonZo district.
 The Swedish premier is quoted in a dispatch from London to have said that Sweden may enter the war, and it is supposed that if this is done it will be on the side of the Germans.

 In a dispatch from Copenhagen. Denmark, it is asserted that the Russians are desertiRg the city of Riga. and taking with them all the things of importance that they can. It is explained that the Slays are leaving the city because they do not want 10 draw the necessary troops from Warsaw to protect it.
 From Athens comes the report that the Italians are holding their own in almost all districts, and that in some of them they are making advances.
 The Turks are massine on the north side of the Dardanelles to protect their ammunition factories. it is explained in a dispatch from Constantinople It is asserted ig dispatch from the same place that the allies have failed to secure foot-hOld on the Gallipoli penin- sula, which forms one side of the western end of the Dardanelles.
 It seems that though Italy is at war with Germany and Austria. she is not at war with their ally. Fur key It is said in the dispatch from Rome. however, that the diplo- matic relations between Italy and Turkey are strained. ebeause the Turks have refused to allow the italians in their country to depart
