NO IMPORTANT
G?iNSREPORTED
It is Believed, However, Germans
Are Awaiting Opportune
Time to Advance.
London, July 22.-Too Austro
Germane continue to press tho rus
sian forces dofcudlng Warsaw and
while . they have made progress at
some points they have made no ser
ious breach in the well fortified lines
defending the city.
The Russians have drawn back to
Bridgehead directly west of Warsaw
uni into the fortress of Ivangorod
further southeast on the Vistula. At
these points they probably can of
fer moro stubborn resistance.
The two attacks being made from
the north along the Narew river by
Von lllindenberg and that which Von
Mackensen is directing from the
southeast, between the Vistula and
TOug* rivers, apparently have been
/held up, or Germans arc awaiting the
opportune moment to move forward
and catch the Russians armies if they
evacuate Warsaw. . The Berlin offt
cial statement does not record an ad
vance fox .Mackensen, and although
it stales tho Russian* havo ceased
their counter attacks along Warsaw,
it doesn't mention any success by
Hmdenberg.
Grand D?ke Nicholas, although' de
livering stinging counter attacks'and
inflicting heavy losses on the Anstro
Germans, must consider thu safety
of -his anny more than the possession
of Warsaw.
Near Bhavll, on the Dubissa river
and on the Narlampol Kovno road the
Germans claim successes, but noth
ing ls said about tho fighting nearer
Riga, for which another German army
is beading.
Argonne and Vosges still are
scenes of fighting in the wost. Ac
counts from opposing sides are con
tradictory' as ever, but lt would ap
pear that the French are the aggres
sors in Vosges and' have made some
progress, and that the Germans made
a partially success offensive in Ar
gonne. ?
The Italians continue attacks along
the Isonzo where the battle for Gcr
siza and Carso plateau Is assuming
large proportions and more men are
engaged than in any previous. battle
on ? the AuBtro-Itallan front. The
Italians-claim .progress, while the
Austrians consistently report their
attacks rfcpMsed. *
A short official account Issued here
tonight of recent ighting on the Gal
lipoli pettihnula -indicates that minor
engagements, have favbred the allies.
London, July 22.-Desperate fight
ing continuos between thc Teutonic ar
mies pressing on toward Warsaw anr
the Russian defenders. Tie issue is
In tho balance. Vienna and Berlin
claim new advances along the entire
' front. Petrograd, while not denying
. Teutonic gain? in nome sections, as
Berts lines aro being held, or else hurl
ed buck at vital paints.
South of Lublin, where a serious
breach would mean the cutting of. the
Lublin-Chelm. railroad line and a di
vision of the Russian armies to the
north end soutfi, Russian resistance
seems the ?irongei. A Potrogrtid
Internent claims the Teutons have
tbeda<"heM there. Counter attachs
have dWlv?n the' Germane back along
. tho Hne:of tho river Narew, north of
. Warsaw, the Russians assert. They
also claim that their linea on the left
hank of the V?stala, southeast of War
saw, are holding. In thc Baltic.prov
inces the advancing German outposts
are barely 20 miles from Riga.
Along the Austro-Italinn front
Rome claims the gafin of part of the
heights commanding Goriza and the
Isonxo bridge (rom tho right hank of
bhe ritler, ??ut the latest Vienna re
port declares all attacks on Gorlzln
bave been checked and that the height
capturei by th? Italians was retaken.

perfected a wireless apparatus by
which he can control tho movements

that army officers who have made an

San Francisco, July 22.-The social
and moral conditions in China were
reported upon today at fie ninth In
ternational Purity Congress by Kee
Owyang, of Tientsin, China, former
ly consul general at San Francisco,
who deplored the fact that in adopt
ing western ideas, China was also ac
quiring many vices that exist in the
west. Among other things ho slid:
"The habit of nmokf.ng cigarettes is
becoming prevalent among many of
our boys and girls in China. Millions
of dollars worth ofvcigarettes are im
ported annually, and to check t e
growing habit, an anti-cigarette so
ciety bas been formed, consisting of
Influential mon of China, Buch as Dr.
Wu Ting Fang, and much is being
achieved through their efforts."
Referring to the onium evil, the
speaker charged that this vice, .-v.'-Jch
was "forced on us by England, and
encouraged by her" was still being
perpetuated by British exports o*
opium to China, although China her
self \ad awakened to such a point of
determination to stamp out the plum
evil, that she even imposed Capital
punishment for opium crimes.
