London, Aug. 5.--Warasw has fal len and the GerniAns already are in occupation of the Polish capital. The news first came by wireless frome the German general army headquarters and was quickly followed by cabled Conlrmation from berlin crediting the capture of the city to the forces / of Prince Leopard of Bavaria after, /a stubborn fight with the Russian fear guard. With tho Russian adm4(ision in last night's oflicial communication that the Russian forces deferiding the Blonic front had been witpdrawn all hope that Warsaw could b,6 saved was abandloned. The outer 1ine of fort~s to which the, Russians withdrew aro only six iles from the center of the capital and these defenses aplparently were car rici last night, the inner line of do fcnses being captured in time to on able the visi tors to enter the city ear ly this morning. The staktenient from Petrograd that the Russian retirement to the Blonie Nadzaryn front had been carried out unhindered was taken here to indicate that Grand Duke Nichols had every thing in readiness for the evacuation of Warsaw itself aind the announce ment in Berlin's statement that only a stubborn rear guard blocked the advance of the Germans seems to Conifrn that the main army vith its guns has escaped being caught in the citadel. The effect of the fall of WarsW ' now is absorbing the attention 6f tile Brit ish olicials and public. I. Is ex pected that the Germuall eiltorer 11and iiliress will make a royal entry in nevordance 'witi planis long 11111tiured. What part of the army of Grand DIuke Nicholas was able to extricate itself from the enfolding line of Field M.\arshal v on I l1eIlblrg coming from the north is increasingly probleiati ff cli. It Is helieved that this press o from the north was one of thef lef reasons fol Comll pellinlg thl final abandonment of Warsaw in rder to permit, the Grand Duke to send rein forvements to save his right wing. The occiipation of Warsaw also will have the effect of releasing large Ger Man forcos, coicentrated oil hile re duetionl of the city and permiiit them1 to 11ur,1 west ward for renewed opera tions against t he 'Anglo-French allies. 'ie lritish military authorities agree that the fall of the city will have far-reaching effeets on (lie east ern and wastern war theatres. ited! .ildress & ens, S.
