FATE C FORCE HAM RUSSIANS OFFICIALLY AD MIT EVACUATION OF LUBLIN STRUGGLE MAY LAST FOR DAYS Believed Fall of Warsaw Will Release Million of Men for Drive in West. ? ai London, July 31.- The fate ot the Russian armlet In tho Polish salient still hangs in the balance, while in thc western zono there continues to bo sharn fighting at various points, which seems lo bo initiated by one side or the other simply to secure thc best starting point for a big offensive w h fen seems certain to come. Russia tonight admitted the evae.ua tiou of Lublin and announced that Thursday; night the Russians between the Bug and Vistula rivers retired un molested to new positions. At other points around Warsaw the German an'i Austrian statements* describe vigorous Russian counter attacks. An Austrian unofficial dispatch today de clared the Russians are already eva cuating Warsaw but there was no confirmation late tonight. It will probably be days before the struggle around Warsaw ia conclud ed, and even should the Fjussians manage to savo their entire armies and place them in new positions, the capture of Warsaw would greatly hearten tho civilian population of Austro-Gcrinans and and it is believed also would mean that the Teutonic forces begin trench warfare that sec tion and release a million or more mon for a drive in the west. - Paris tonight officially, announced that there wero po infantry antlona today, but mentions unusual artillery activity in Artois, at Angers and at Arras in Argonne, in the forest of Lepetre and alr.o activity in Vosges. Berlin declares officially that . a French atiacjfa near Souchez was re pulsed, and that severe fighting in Vosges on the Lingekopf Barrenkopf lino ls coming to a standstill. The French still hold a part of tho Lingo kopf positions but the. Germans claim they recovered the others.

It also tells of re pulses of Italian attacks on the Carin thian^frontier and In Tyrol. London, July 31.-Tho Austro-Ger man cavalry entored Lublin, ninety five miles southeast of Warsaw, Vien na announces officially, supplement ing tho norman claims of last night. The Russians grip on this part of thc southeastern front has been broken. It is indicated that tho important ave nue of Ivatigorod. tho Lublln-Chelm railroad is strongly held by the lo in vUders. which, cut's off ono line ot retreat for the ' Russian forc?s to southeastern Poland. Meanwhile Von Buelow continues seeking to cut the Northern railway from Warsaw to Petj-ograd. . The pred learner t of the Russian armies at Warsaw is even more peri lous unies the main forces are al ready withdrawn. . Warsaw's eight hundred thousand population If fleeing and every dis patch makes guarded reference to some phase of the evacuation and though' no official announcement of abandonment ls not forthcoming. The hopcB of the entente, allies, however, the Germans might bc bold to have dissipated. Military writers are debating tho chances of extricating the Russian armies w'thout disaster. Besides the capture of LybHn and the seizure of the railway 'ti*?e {?jermei'.s crossed the Vistula between*,.Warst?'* and Ivan gorod. The problem of tho Pwsslans is tb hold th'e.l(vings north ard south of Warsaw . . (While Ihe . center retreats at a more acuto and quick action is imperative to .save the armies. Greet Britain is ^reaUy con cerned over these developments.. Belle newspaper emphasis of the Kassian tak and ?ress for conscrip tion here a the best proof tb Russia that the we to rn allies pnrpoe Mo stand b yher in exerting pressure, in the west. The Russian press according to a special, feel that tho western'allies should have slartf.il some movement in France or Belgium to relieve the strain for Russia. It is bow realized that Russia has lost the Initiative for the remander of the summer which will enable the central powers to strike hard at either France, Belgium, Serbia or Italy.
