Chance to Save Army.

There remained, however, the main
double track route to Minsk, and
equally good road from Ivangorod.
The Lukow and the northern line,
which runs south of the Bug river,
to say nothing of numerous wagon
roads which enter the Polish capitol
from the east. Therefore, so long as
Field Marshall Won Hindenberg is pre-.
vented from crossing the Bug from
the northeast, it was believed Grand
Duke Nicholas had an excellent
chanc of saving his whole army.
Faces New Danger.
When the Russians relieve the new
line of defense they will be faced by
another danger, arising from the ad-
vance of General Buelow, composed
largely of cavalry which is approach
ing the fortress OF Aovno and is with
in three days march OF the Vilna-Pet-
rograd railway.
The retirement of those described
by Petrograd as voluntary, was ac-
companied by hard fighting. It Ia re.
1liniscent of General KurOpatkin's re-.
treat from Liao-Yanz, when he in.
flicted on the pursuing Japanese great
losses. While the main army with
the field artillery was making its way
to the rear, infantry and cavalry pro-
tectcd the flank, and made repeated
attacks. In this way, few hours
were gained which were OF inesti-
mable value to the retreating forces
1t probably will be several days be.
fore the struggle is finally decided.
British Liner Sunk.
The British steamship Iberian, Of
1928 tons gross, and owned by the
Leyland Line, carrying large crew
and a number of muleteers back to
the United States, was tOrpedOed and

Eight more British fishing traWlers

undersca boats. All the crews were
saved. Germany's reply to the Anleri-
