men of every part and every walk OF

and with equal zeal their duties in de-

London, Aug. 26.-The Austro-Ger-

resistance to the German advance, but

tress itself, evacuating it as they did
Ossowetz.
Petrograd dispatches had indicated
the Russians were planning to take
up defensive positions farther east.
The Germans now hold the entire
railway line from Cholm to Bialystok.
As the Russians already have evacu-
ated Bialystock, the lesser fortresses
of Grodno and Olita are the only
strongly defended positions remaining
in the hands of the Russians. The
Germans are nearing both of these
and they probably will be given up
when they Lave fulfilled their purpose
of facilitating the Russian retreat.
Big Forest in Rear.
The Russians have not yet entered
the vast Bieloviezh forest, which ex-
tends 80 miles north and south and
has width of from II to 80 miles.
South of it are the Pripet marshes,
which protect the Russian left.
With plenty of roads and three or
four railroad lines it is expected here
that Grand Duke Nicholas will make
good his retirement if Grodno and Viii
ma can hold out long enough. Even
if they should fall, military observers
say, the grand duke would be well on
his way to his new positions before
the Germans could reach his flank.
There is again talk of Russian prepa-
rations for a stand, but no indications
as to Whether this is to be mace.
