LONDON LOOKS FOR
NEW GERMAN DRIVE
Critics Uncertain Whether It Will
Be at Paris, Calais, or
Northern Italy.

LONDON. Aug. S.-Brttish critics con-
cede today that the fall Of Warsaw will
have a tremendous influence on the next
six months fighting in Europe. and pos
sibly upon the political fortunes Of the
allies.
Capture Of Warsaw will release -
least 1000. 900 Austro- Germans for oper-
ations elsewhere. 1t make It possible
for the Austro-G Germans to hold the
Vistula line with a minimum Of men
against any offensive blow the Russians
months. The military critics. therefore.
turned their attention today to speculat-
Ing on Germany's next move.
Expect Drive At Paris.
A popular guess was that the Ger
mans would renew the offensive against
Paris at once, or hurl all available
forces against the Anglo-French lines In
an effort to reach Calais. Other critics
suggested that the Kaiser viii now Join
Austria In a determined attempt to
march down the Alps INTO northern
Italy, or completely to crush Serbia.

trap is accepted as true in military
circles here. where 1t is assumed that
the German campaign In Poland is now
about to close. In some quarters. how
ever. It is believed that Won Hindenburg
may attempt an advance against Petro-
grad or along the Odessa railway.

Accordingly, a wager wasS made, and the bout was pulled off privately in Mendoza's rooms he for ca. company of noble sports. They fought with bare fists, and for a time the Hebrew acted purely on the de= fensiWe. This angered the Irishnlan; who called his opponent "a dom tricky, Jew" Immediately things 5e- battered Irishman cried Enough l,s The Squire shook Nfendosa warmly by the hand, saying, You licked me fadr- 1y,and you are the only man who ever did so.

RAGE SEASON
 AT SARATOGA
 BEGINS TODAY

New York, Aug. 2.-The meeting of the Saratoga Racing association, which Is scheduled to open today, and. which will continue for 24 days, will in many respects be the most notable of the year. Racing at the Springs has always been characterized by the pres ence of a large number of patrons who by their presence gave encouragement to a sport which has held sway over the populace to a greater degree and for- longer period than any other outdoor pastirne.
 Many of the leisure-loving class which had found the charms of New port, Narragansett, and the other re- sorts more attractive during the past few years have once more turned to racing, and the town, with almost all it's available accommodations takens promises to be gayer than since the days when the late William e. Whit ney controlled the destinies of the sport at this point
 There are more and better horses at the track than have been seen on any course within the confines of the Elm pire State in years, and it is a happy omen that the heetest horses of East and West should meet on common ground dedicated to the cause of ''the improvement of the breed of horses,'' that being a portion of the title Of the Saratoga association.
