( las permission to cable the news was denied by the censor in Warsaw and I Petrograd. , "For some days the Russians have ! been fighting a tenacious rear guard I action aout Warsaw while the evacu ation of that city was in'progress. The general stafT is persuaded that the Warsaw triangle is no longer tenable, although the Germans are battling with a great ileal less determination than they did during the long advance from ! Lemberg. I "This relative relaxation In the j fierceness of the German attacks leads Ime to believe It was not wholly lm- I possible that the Germans, after all, j might have found their undertaking ; just beyond their ebbing powers. This : undoubtedly would have been the case but for the Insupportable demand for munitions In vast quantities entailed upon the Russians by the long line they have been holding. The people accept the situation with absolute calm. "The Grand Duke Nicholas' armies will save themselves, whatever hap pens. Just as the French and British intended, if necessary, to retire beyond Paris. "Personally I can see nothing but ultimate disaster for the Germans In their colossal operations against the ever yielding but ever pressing hosts »of the Czar. WHY HE dl'IT PROGRESSIVES T.
