Warsaw are full of villagers from the
surroundlnp country, brlntrlnc their
horscH and cattle. The sound of distant
cannonading In dlsttnctly heard hern and
It Is believed that a general engagement
Is In progress. It Is expected Hint It
will last for several days, possibly
weeks.
The Germans have been allowed to
ndvanco to thp Polish Vistula for
strategic reasons. They have thus been
drawn from and are unable to use the
network of railways on the Herman nlde
of the frontier. It Is hoped by the llua
slans that the Germans will lie deci
mated by a severe attack nnd will be
compelled lo accept defeat.
The military tlnvernnr of Warsaw has
Informed the peoplo that there Is no
need of becoming nlnrmed, as the de
fence of Warsaw will be maintained to
tho highest degree of military wlence.

duct the Invasion of Poland.
There Is nn Intlmatiot. In the un
official newa thut the Russians em
ployed their customary tactics of luring
the Germans to attack on unfavorable
ground and of making the best possible
use of concealed artillery. If the vie
tory wus of the proportions repi evented
the German invasion of Poland has be.-n
effectually halted.
There Is unofficial news from German
sources that the Russian advane(. .n
Uast Prussia has lost none of Its force.
The news from Gallrla consists of
conflicting statements. Petreigr.id as
serts positively that the Husslans ar
maintaining the- siege of Pntemysl with
every probability of success. It Is us
serted that the Russians have tnken th'
main forts, that the garrison is v eak

by the) reports from Vienna and Merlin,
which state that tho Russians have been
forced out of the region of Przemysl
and have- fallen hack to fortified posi
tions on the lln' of Styr, Sambor and
