I ONDON, July 3l.-The Rus .
IL slams. are now facing the
problem Of the evacuation of
Warsaw and the surrounding
country without losing any inn
.portant part OF their armies
stretched along a several hundred
mile front and, while the military
critics here believe that the Rus
sian commander in chief, the
Grand Duke Nicholas, is prepar-
I'd to provide for all contingent
cies, the tremendous difficulties OF
MS task are recognized.
Russian Lines Wavering
The Austro-Germans are striv-
ng with every ounce Of energy
they possess to break through and
throw themselves across the Rus
ian line Of retreat, and the des-
patches from Berlin state that in
this they have met with a partial
success. o.. .. ~. -. .ssh
The Berlin official bulletins an
1ounce that Won Mackensen has
resumed the offensive and has
reached the Cholm- Lublin rail-
road, thus cutting off one line Of
retreat for whatever Russians are
still between him and Warsaw.

The news originating in Berlin
hat the Germans have also cross.
I'd the Nistula southeast of War
! saw, between the Pilica River
and Kozienice, some forty-fve
miles distant from the Polish
:apital and twenty miles north
west of the fortress of Ivangorod.
indicates that the Russians who
have been holding this line in
force have already been with
lrawn and that perhaps the for
tress OF Ivangorod, one of the
trongest in the Polish defensive
line, has been abandoned to its
fate.
Warsaw Being Evacuated
The evacuation Of the city of
Warsaw itself is now in process
If accomplishment. The Russian
garrison is being withdrawn and
he city is being emptied OF its
inhabitants. The Russians are
stripping the city of everything
which might be found of military
value to the Germans when they
occupy it. The vanguard Of the
German forces is now, approach
ng from the North, while many
German taubes are lowering over
the outer Notifications with OBJ
servers.
Kaiser Plans State Entry
With the German army is the
Kaiser, who is preparing to make
a state entry into Warsaw as soon
as his troops are in undisturbed
possession. In the meantime,
forth and west. the Russian lines
are holding back the Germans,
tenaciously maintaining their
positions to give the Russian
commanders ample opportunity
of withdrawing in good order and

From a Tax Payer.

Why is it that parties persits in filing railroad damage suits here from other counties which are not even in the judicial dis trict? There are three on the civil docket to be tried at this term of court. one from lndepen- dence and the other two from Johnson counties. This is an imposition on Franklin county, because these counties from which these damage cases occur don't pay one cent of the cost and the railroads only pay S3 for each case, therefore the county pays $33 daily to the jurors for the railroad case. and many take up as much as three days, besides the expense of running the court while trying such suits. There is a bill now pending in our Legislature if passed will prevent this unjust proceedings. We trust many of our citizens will write to the county representatives and state senator urging them to use their best efforts to have the bill passed. It will save this coun- ty and all others that are burden ed with such suits, hundreds of dollars. Every county and judi cial district should care for their own business.
