London, Aug. 1.-The anniversary '?<. u.qr's outbreak passed without the Cei'uwiMs ooeu\?vtur Warsaw paid to be part ol tb ii ?rogram. Ho . >ei nows of Mihi climas to th? * a tro German offendive lu '..he eis' is ex pected ho arly, i mat ion is allowed to leak '.brough declares the Russians for several days have been withdrawing to the Brest line, leaving small forces to tight rear guard actions so that the main armies may make good their retreat. These rear guard actions have de veloped into fairly large battles, as tho Russians, whose steadiness bas been phenomenal in face of defeat, are offering stubborn resistance and delivering powerful counter attacks. They have prevented Field Marshal von Hindenburg from t bro wing more of bis troops across the Narew, re pulsed German attacks northwest of Warsaw and driven back to tho river some of the invading troops who crossed the Vistula south of Warsaw. In the southeast Field Marshal von Mackensen continues his victorious advance. He has swept aside the resistance of the Russians and forced them to retreat along both banks of the Bug. The Germans already have passed Chel?n in pursuit. Thus on this front the retirement of tho War saw armies is seriously threatened. During the month of July Berlin says the Germans captured more than 9.r>,OOO Russians between the Pillea river and the Baltic Sea. The Russians, according to Petro grad, have stopped Gen. von Hue low's advance in Kovno province, to ward the Vilva-Petrograd railway. If Orand Duke Nicholas ls to hold the Brest line aftei bis retirement from Warsaw, it is necessary that Gen von Buelow's offensive be arrested, for should he roath Hie railway he would interfere seriously with the Russian commun i cat ions. It ls not yet certain whether thc Russian armies can make good their retirement from Warsaw. The Aus tro-Germans have moved up very strong reinforcenionts to hasten their encircling movement. The appear ance of fresh troops also suggests that the German staff will not bo sat isfied with the capture of the cjty or even the destruction of part of tho Russian army, but, should this be ac complished, will attack tho Brest line and endeavor finally to crush the entire Russian forces. iMeanwhilo the Germans, who ap pear to have an inexhaustible supply of munitions, aro fighting desperate ly to retain every position they hold in the west. They have re-captured part of tho trenches lost to the Brit Var Day by Day ish near Hooge, and are trying to re gain what they lost to the French In the Muenster region of Alsace. Teutons' Advance t^ostly. Geneva, Switzerland, Aug. 1. "Tho capture of Lublin cost Gen. VVoyrsch 70,000 men tn killed, wounded and prisoners. Four miles north of Lublin the Russians are ll hiing fiercely, disputing every foot of ground while covering their re treat," sa; s an Innsbruck dispatch. "In an advance of seven miles with seven army corps Field 'Marshal von Mackensen lost 35,000 men. "The army massed from Lowie/ to Ostrowiec has begun an advance upon Ivangorod and Novo Alexan dria, the evacuation of which was commenced by the Russians Friday night, according to tho Germans. "Tho Germans have dispatched more than 100 train loads of ammu nition from Radom and Lodz toward Warsaw since July 23. "The Russians who attacked south of Przsasnysz killed 5,000, wounded 8,000 and took prisoner 1,300 of the Fight h German army corps." Two Britishers Down. London, Aug. 2.-The H ri t ish steamships Clintonia and Fulgcns lia ve been sunk. Fifty-four of the persons aboard tho Clintonia were saved. 'I'he Clintonia was a vessel of 3, 838 tons gross. She was 350 feet long, wit li a beam of 50 feet. The Fulgens was built at Newcas tle in 10 12. and was owned by the Gas Light and Coko Company of London. Tho vessel was ?105 feet long, 12 feet beam, and 1 !? leo' d<>ep. British Sub. at Work. London, Aug. 2.-An admiralty s. ttement to-night says: "Tho vice admiral commanding in ?tho eastern Mediterranean reports that ono of tho British submarines operating in the Sea of Marmora has torpedoed a large steamer of 11,000 j tons off the Mudania pier which had '. several vessels secured alongside, j The explosion was heavy. A small steamer close to Karablgha Ray was torpedoed. "Tho railroad cut ono mile west of Kara Burnu was bombarded and the line blocked temporarily so that a troop train was unable to pass. lt was hoing tired on as it steamed back, three truck loads of ammuni ! t ?on being blown up. "Mudania, Kara Righa and Kara ' i Burnu aro all on the Asiatic shore of I the Sea of Marmora, the former, about 100 miles east of the northern entrance of the Dardanelles and , Kara Righa and Kara Burnu, about 1 f> miles east of it." Progress Very Slow. London, Aug. 3.-The stubborn Russian resistance and the slow pro- j gross of the Austro-German invaders n,0 fr.>v ri a vs bi?-1 'o'i f" thc bo I lief '.ti s me i|uart?;rs thal the 'Sur im?n ammuohlon supply .> reeling the effect of the protracted struggle j and '(tn Rio la ye' ma> save War ; i ii i ?m?o Gxporieui.fa Kiln German I tactics, however, has been that a : temporary slowing down was follow- , I ed soon by greater efforts, and when Field Marshal von Mackensen has concluded his present operations In Hie southeast Field Marshal von , Hindenburg, it is expected, will re I new Iii? heavy blows on the Narew I front. For the moment therefore the greatest interest attaches to the southeast, where, Berlin claims, the Germans have extended their bridge head posit ions south of Warsaw; the Austrians have gained a decisive suc cess wost of Ivangorod, and von Mackensen, after meeting with con siderable resistance, has broken the I Russian line east of Leczna and j north of Chehn. Similar successes have boon gained by the Germans in Courland and in the direction Lomza. Many mili tary mon believe the Courland opera- > lions, which Gen. von Buelow is di- ? reeling, are fraught with the great-; est danger to the Russians, as ?. big ? ger victory here would enable them j to move across the railways which! I feed the Russian armies. Farther west the Germans already are near j 1 Poniewesch, junction of two branch ! lines of the Vilna-Petrograd railway, j Active in Dardanelles. (Jen.

These colonial troops hold position.-- along the western side of the Gallipoli Pe ninsula and thus prevent tho Turks from sending all their forces against tho Anglo-French army, which holds tho peninsula tip.
