GERMANS TAKE CITY OF WARSAW Bavarian Troops First to Enter Capital After Capturing the Last Lines of Defense. RUSSIANS TRYING TO SAVE ARMY Fighting Rear Guard ActionsWarsaw Stripped of Everything Useful to Teutons. Constantinople Rejoices.

Constantinople, August (via London, -August 6, 2:29 a. The announcement of the capture of Warsaw this morning caused profound impression here, The news spread over the city like and within a few minutes every building was Berlin Awaits Details. Berlin, August -(via London, August 6, 2:21 a. Details of the fall of Warsaw have not reached The newspaper correspondents before Warsaw have as yet had no opportunity send dispatches; and the German generat staff- has no detatisyond the brief phrase in the middie of the day's official report. Russians Admit Retreat.

Petrograd, August London, August 6, 8:00 a. official communication just issued here says: "In view, of conditions and the general situation, our troops west of Warsaw have received orders to -fall back on the right bank of the Vistula." -London; August p. m. -The Germans are in possession of Warsaw, the capital of Poland and the third largest city in the Russian empire. Bavarian troops entered the city this morning haying taken successively the Blonie lines and the outer and inner fortresses of the city itself, the Russians only fighting rear guard actions to allow their main army to make its escape.

While to the Bavarians, commanded by Prince Leopold, has fallen the honor of taking over Warsaw in the name of the German emperor and his consorts who are expected to make a state.entry within a few days, the real conquerors are the troops fighting under Field Marshal won Hindenburg along the Narew river to the northeast; to the Austro-Germans who crossed the Vistula to the south of the city, and to the armies of the Austrian Joseph Ferdinand and the German Field Marshal von Mackenzen, which are advancing northward between the Vistula and Bug rivers. Russ Being Pressed Back, The Russians are fighting desperately, and stubbornly to. check. that progress of. these four armies: and have had several successes, inflicting heavy losses on their pursuers, but they are being steadily back, which made the longer occupation of the salient a trazardous undertaking.

Even now, although the steadiness of the Russian troops and their fierce counter-attacks have gained much valuable time for them, it is problematical whether the whole Russian army. will succeed in reaching the new position chosen for it or whether it it should get there it will not find those positions burned by the Austrians who have. crossed the Bug river southeast of Chelm and the Germans under Generals von Scholz and von Gallwitz who have crossed the Narew. Three Traps Set for Russians. At the northeastern end of the town the Rusisan communications are threatened further by General von Buelow, who is advancing towards Dylask on the Vilna-Petrograd railwax.

The county supervisors at their regular meeting next week will make the annual levy and this item must be included if the projeet goes through this year. Encounter Some Obstacles. The work of circulating the petitions for the signatures of the voters has been a rather arduous task as some obstacles have been encountered.

The roads have been in bad shape for the greater. part of the time, hindering the committees from getting in their work. There is, however, little opposition as from all parts of the county come reports of men who are boosting, this much needed imI provement. The greatest difficulty to be met is that of getting the petitions eirculated among the farmers, most of whom are heartily in favor of the new jail and sheriff's The committees will be kept pretty busy for the few daya, left getting the required number of signers. Now Have Less Than 2,000.

As nearly as can be ascertained, the total number of signers to the petitions is less than two thousand. This means that little over one-half of the required number have as yet signed. The number required is 3,852, being sixty per cent of the number of voters within the county as computed from an average of the last two general elections. Commercial Club Has No Corner. This project not the move of the commercial club alone.

Thus far he seemingly has been suecessful: for, although the Germans claim the capture of a large number of prisoners, the aggregate is small when compared with the Immense forces engaged, In addition the Russian guns apparently are well on their way to the rear. Warsaw Demantled From refugees who left Warsaw some days ago and arrived at Moscow, it has been learned that Warsaw, even at that early date, had been dismantled of virtually everything that might be useful to the Teutons.

Factories shad been stripped of their machinery and all war stores moved into the Interior of -Rusela and the government of the city left to the Polish The Russians also are preparing evacuate Riga, a port on the gulf of that name in the north. The arrival of the Germans ten miles south of that city already has been the cause of the civilian population's departure. -Concede Great Victory, While expressing the fullest confidence in the future, the British milltary critics make no attempt to belittle the achievement of the Teutons or the effect their success is likely to have in the east and west. Since early in May when they started their great counter offensive in western Galicia against the Russians, who were debouching to the Carpathians or on to the plains of Hungary, the troops of the Germanic powers had cleared the Ruseians out of Galicia with the exception of a narrow strip of territory in the southwest, have recaptured Przemysl and Lemberg, taken Lublin, Chelm and Warsaw and are in military occupation of practically the whole of Poland. What their next move will be is matter, of conjecture.

Some, military observers believe they, will continue to attack the Russians in the hope of tinaNy crushing them, a task which it is -considered is rendered difficult by the fact that the Russians in their retreat lay the country waste, making it necessary for the invaders to bring up every ounce required for their army. Serbia May Be Attacked. Cther observers think Serbia will be attacked so as to oppress the Balkan states which remain neutral, while still another group look for a big offensive against the Franco Britishline. in the west. All of the.

observers are of the opinion that wherever the new operation is begun it will be.on a big scale. The Germans also have had local successes in the west, recapturing on the crest. of the line. in the Vosges portion of the trenches which the French took from them some time ago. PLAN FOR PROGRAM FOR.
