London, July 19.-With the Ger.
man field marshal Won Hindenberg
on the north and Won Mackensen on
the south, whipping forward the two
ends of a great army around the city,
it is realized in England that Grand
Duke Nicholas, commander in chief
! OF the Russian army, IS in tight
place, the worst since the outbreak
of the European war.
Gigantic Operations.
Attention is now centered on the
gigantic operations in the eastern
field of war. where fighting is in full
swing on nearly every section Of the
Russian line, from the Baltic to the
| Dniester General Won Buelow, who
| was on the LETT of General con Kluck
| in the first invasion of France, now
commands the extreme left Of the
German advance toward Riga, which
is being conducted by cavalry on
scale exceeding anything heretofore
during the war.
Berlin claims steady advance. Pc

the Russians on the NareW river and
its tributaries.
On the famous Rawka BZpra line
there is comparative quiet, which is
also reflected on the south side OF
Warsaw. but to the southeast fight
ing is on in full swing. The Rus
slams must fight defensive battle for
possession of Warsaw or abandon all
of Poland. ...5.E.a
These tremendous activities by the
Germans in the east suggest that they
have little reserve left to devote to
the western campaign, which offers
the Entente Allies respite either for
the completion of munitions supplies
or a concerted attempt to recapture
Lille. = II,
Another view holds that the best
service her allies could give Russia
at this time, would be the forcing OF
the Dardanelles. It is possible that
the Allies may combine for both sug-
gested attempts. but it is unquestion-
able that for a time the center OF
gravity in the war shifts to eastern
Europe. 'r", a Ut
AS was the case Saturday. when
the Austro-Gcrman recorded the sue
cesses OF their offensive in the East.
no official communication from either
Berlin or Vienna reached the LOndcn
newspapers today. In the absence
of additional information from Petro-
grad, there is nothing to shed light
on the eastern front. but the Anstro-
German drive could have hardlY so
soon lost it's momentum.
Nearer Warsaw.
According to the lates. coMmunica-
tion, the Austro-German forces i'd
vancng from Przemysl were within
40 miles of Warsaw, while to the
south, Won Mackensen's center was at
a certain point within 10 miles IT
Lublin-C Choam railroad.
On the western front. rcpuses Of
German attack is claime,' by the
French war office, which also asserts
that slight gains have been made by 4
the Allies.
However, those g!.lS are inconse.
quential and have not affected the
genarel situation. .
