POLES GAIN ADVANTAGE IN CRUCIAL BATTLE DECIDING FATE OF BESIEGED CAPITAL
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

WARSAW, Aug. 16.-Uninterrupted fighting is going on in the valley of the Bug from its source to its confluence with the Narew river. The great battle which has just begun along the river has been marked by appreciable ad- vantage for the Poles. They have in flicted heavy losses on the enemy and retaken important positions. In Galicla, the Poles, without pressure from the bolsheviki, have withdrawn to the Bug
 Forces defending Warsaw are now grouped as follows:
 The left wing, resting on the forts of Modlin (Novo Georgivalx), holds the line of the lower Narew and Bug; the cen ter. protected behind by the outer forts of Warsaw, occupies positions from IS to 30 miles from the capitol; the right wing commands the valley of the upper Bug. Both on the right and left wing it is the Poles who have taken the initiative.
 the Bug between Hruhiezow and Wlo- da,wa have been thrown back. On the left wing, the Poles, starting from Mod lin, made a successful attack toward MIawa. Thanks to tilis operation, the positions the Poles occupy in the fork of the Narew and Bug, which consti- tute the key defenses of Warsaw, are
 better protected from a, flank attack. In the center, on the lower Bug, all attacks delivered by the enemy to en- able him to approach nearer Warsaw forts. were repelled with heavy losses. Red cavalry continues to operate along the old Polish lrussian frontier
 without opposition from the Poles. This operation is not connected with the battle along the Bug and cannot in any way influence the issue there, even should the bolsheviki throw in stronger l sz l hot hn pnIf fGH | troops occupying Thorn and Graudenz

NEW YORK. Aug. 16.-"Too i'll to be interviewed.n this was the message delivered today to federal pro hibition enforcement agents who called at the home of John J. McGraw to ask the manager of the New York Giants if it was true he had bought WHISKY at the Lambs club.
 An admission to this effect. alleged to have been made to the district at torney's office in it's investigation or how John C. Slavin, actor, received fracture of the skull in front Of Mc- Graw's house about a week ago, today attracted the attention of J. $. Shevlin, enforcement officer. It was he who dispatched the dry agents to McGraw's home, with the threat that if McGraw did not present himself at the federal district attorneys office a subpoena would be sought.
 McGraw is recovering from blow on the head which he told the district at torney's office was received in a scuf- file in the Lambs club the night the actor also was injured.
 Slavin's condition today was reported worse and for this reason District At torney Swan announced he would rot present the case to the grand jury for a few days.
 John c. Slavin was found in an tn conscious condition near the home ot John McGraw early Sunday. August s. An examination at that time disclosed that Slavin was suffering from frac- tured skull the result of being struck with a blunt instrument. He was taken to St. Luke's hospital where he has been in a serious condition since that eventful morning.
 Winfield Liggitt, retired naval of ficer and Slavin had accompanied Me Craw home early in the morning from l the Lambs club Liggitt is said to have | told the police. Liggitt was unable t' l account for Slavin's injuries and ac' cording to the police said that he ane | Slavin had intervened in fight be tween McGraw and an actor at th' 1 Lambs club earlier in the evening.
 McGraw has refused to appear be

 gation and for several days the officeri l were unable to locate him. The dis
 trict attorneys office and the fedora 1 agents promise a complete investiga ton of the case to clear up rumors O
