fly ÁKunclated Pre
London Aug. !. The anniversary of the
uibbk oi ine war was passed wttnom
Hermans occupylnir Warsaw which
understood to be Dart of their Dro-
fram. However news of this climax to
me Ausiro-uermon offensive in the east
lilrii was begun In the early days or May.
Is hourly expected for what little infor-
mation fa allowed io leak through Is to
the effect that the Russians for several
day have been withdrawing to the Brest
line leaving small forces to fight rear-
guard actions so that the main armies
niivht make good their retreat.
Ruslens Retire Fighting.
These rear-guard actions have developed
at many places Into ralrly large battles
as the Russians whose steadiness has
been phenomenal in the face of dereat are
offering stubborn resistance to the Ger-
man advances and delivering powerrul
counter attacks. For example they nave
prevented Field Marshal von Hlndenburg
from throwing more or bis troops across
the Narew; repulsed German attacks to
the northwest or Warsaw and driven back
io the river some of the Invading troops
who crossed the Vistula to lb south or
Warsaw.
Maekeapen's Advance Continues.
In toe southeast Field Marshal von Mack-
ensen continues bis victorious advance.
He has swept aside the resistance or the
Russians nd forced them to retreat along
both banks or the Bug. The Oermans have
already passed through Cbelm In pursuit.
Thus oh this rronl Ihe retirement or the
Warsaw armies Is seriously threatened.
During the month of July Berlin says
the ijermans captured more than 95.0011
Russian prisoners between the Pillea river
and the Baltic alone.
Von Buelow's Advance Hailed.
The Russians according to Petrograd
have stopped General von Buelow's ad-
vance In kovno province toward the Vilna-
Petrogrsd railway ir Grand Duke Nicho-
Jas is 10 hold the Brest Une after his re-
tirement rrom Warsaw it Is absolutely
necessaryNhat General von-Biielow's offen-
sive should- be arrested for should he
reaeh the railway he would seriously in-
let erer with the Russian communication.
It Is not yet certain whether the Russian
armies can make good their retirement
Mom Warsaw. Certainly the Austro-Ger-mans
are doing their best to prevent tt.
and have moved up very strong relnrorce-
iio'nts to hasten their encircling movement.
Ttie appearance or fresh troops also sug-
gests that the German staff" will not be
Miisiled with the rapture or the city or
even the destruction of part of the Russian
army but should this be accomplished will
ittackahe Brest line and endeavor finally'
to crush the entire Russian forces.
Hinting on Western Front
Meanwhile the Germans who appear to
Iia 0 an Inexhaustible supply of ammuni-
tion are fighting desperately to retain
ev-ry position which they held on the
W'i stern front. They have recaptured part
or ihe trenches which tbey lost to the
1 -n near Hooge and are making an
effort to regain what they lost to the
Frt-nch in the Muenster region -of Alsace.
n unconfirmed report comes rrom Rome
t --ht that the Austrian are preparing
tor the evacuation of Trieste and have al-
ready removed the majority or the mu-
nition factories.

Is understood the stlaus or the mining

By the terms or the decree In question
the mine ownurs were given lift days with-
in which they were to resume the operation
or their properties under ponolty or con-

owing to interrupted communications and

lu view of these circumstances the
mining companies propose to ask ror an
extension or time expressing themselves as
not only willing but anxious to resume
operations as soon as they are assured or
adequate transportation facilities and
enough men are released from the armies
to enable them to reorganize their working

While under Ibe terms or the decree the
