London Aug. 4.-While reporting progress on both the wings which for the last three weeks have been en- deavoring to encircle Warsaw, the Germans have commenced frontal at lacks and have begun direct thrust at the fortrcsses which guard the Polish capital from the west.
 Berlin tonight, following the is- stance of a statement reported to have been made by the Russian am- bassador at The Hague, to the effect that the evacuation of Warsaw is complete, reports successes for the armies attacking Warsaw and the Vistula fortresses of Lonza, Ostro- lenka and Ivangorod.
 While for weeks the efforts of the Germans have been directed toward enveloping the Russian armies, with the capture of Warsaw as corol- lary they now appear to be engaged in a serious endeavor with the sole view of taking the capital itself un- less they expect by vigorous front al offensive to prevent the Russians from removing the greater portion of the big guns in their fortresses by keeping them busy while the encfr- cling forces close in from behind.
 Slays Retire Again.
 The German war office tonight re- ports that the Russians north of Lonza have been forced to retire to their advance positions around the fortress, while near Ostrolenka the Narew crossings have been taken aft CT violent resistance. West and southwest of Warsaw, it is claimed the Russians have been thrown back from their strong Blonie positions and have retreated to the outermost line of forts, which Bavarian troops are attacking under the leadership of Prince Leopold.
 The western forts of IvangOrod as far as the Vstula are reported by both Berlin and Vienna to be in Teuton hands, with General Weyrsch directing attacks against their inner Notifications.
 Bulk of Russians Safe.
 Meanwhile, both von Mackenzen's encircling movement and von Hln- denberg's drive on the Narew and the Bug are meeting violent resistance By freuuent counter attacks With large forces, the Russians are hin- dering Mackenzen's advance upon the armies retreating to the Brest-L@ tovsk line. and owing to their sue cess in these maneuvers, military critics here are of the opinion that the bulk of the Russian forces all ready have been safely withdrawn from the threatened district.
 Large forces of Russians are still employed along the various menaced fronts. but Petrograd is confident that the effort to entrap millions in stead of thousands has failed.
 The Russians are now retreatlng from a line which stretches from Novo Alexandra to Leczna and from Dubienka to the north of Cholm, on both sides of the Bug.
