w 1ARsAW is ready for the eyacua-
| w ton which was intimated by
| the Russian war minister in his ad-
dress in the Duma For days there
has been an exodus of the population.
| Factories, government institutions and
hospitals have been moved and the
city has been stripped Of everything
| that might be of military value to the
Teutons.
That the German empress will not
accompany Emperor William should
he make a state entry into Warsaw
| if the Polish capital is occupied by
| the Austro- Germans is indicated by
report from Berlin that the empress
! has returned to Berlin from east
! Prussia where she has been visiting
the battlefields.
The Gemans have captured Mitau,
| the capital of Courland, and are now
| within striking distance of Riga, the
seat of the governor general of the
Baltic provinces and Russia's greatest
port on the Baltic.
With the taking of Mitau and the
favorable progress of the fighting east
of Poniewesch, according to the Berlin
statement, it would seem that COM
muncation by rail from Courland
and Kovno eastward has been severed
by the Germans.

before Ivangorod and in numerous
sectors in the southeast between the
Vistula and the Bug.
In the west in the Argonne region
the Germans near Hill No. 213 and
near MarieTherese occupied French
trenches after fierce infantry attacks
in the matter in which they preceded
their forward movement with the use
of burning oil, Paris admits the Teu-
tons gained a footing i'm these
trenches, but asserts that in counter
attacks in both sectors the French
were successful in regaining portions
Of their lost terrain.
ReDulsC Germans.
In addition, Paris says that in the
Nosges German attempts to recapture
lost positions were put down and that
the French took several additional
trenches from them and in doing so
inflicted heavy casualties. Elsewhere
