London. July 30. The Rrltlsh Ambas
sador nt Petrogrnd, In the course of a
message on the anniversary nf the out
break of the war. refers to the assertion
of German newspaper that Germany's
original objective was the destruction of
the Russlnn army.
"That army Is still Intact." says the
Rrltlsh dlplumrit. "Like Charles the
Twelfth nt Poltava nnd Napoleon at
Mosoow, the German Ilinperor will learn
thnt Russln Is unconquerable. In time
or storm ami stress nntlons, like Individ-1

"Neer hns a nation displayed n morn'
heroic spirit In the hour of tilal than'
has Russia In the last few critical I
weeks. The same noble spirit of self-1
aacrince animates all the armies of the
Allies. The system nf organized ter
rorlam and calculated cruelty which
Germany hns employed ha steeled the
hearts of nil allied soldiers And they
will never sheath the sword until Ger
man militarism with It power for evil
haa been crushed.
"I offer to the brave soldiers nf Rus

heaitfelt admiration."
ANSWERS RUSSIAN SLUR.
Special Cable lie'palcli tn Tnr. 8rv.
London, July 31 (Saturday). Col.
Heplngton, the military critic of the
TIiiim, In dlncusslng the retirement of
the Russians from the Vistula to the
Rug says that although t hns the ap
pearance of aligning the central and
southern armies It will In iffeut place
the latter In some dirtlrulty owing to thn
marshes whlih will Intervene between
the two armies.
"This district," lie continues, "Is not
Impassable. i s spanned by some roads
and rnllways, but It certainly Interfeies
very much with the Intercommunication
and Joint operation. The manner In
which this situation will be exploited
n mains to 1m seen.
"It's natural," he goes on. "that our
Russlnn friends should nsk what the
w'stnrn Allies are doing at this crltlcil
moment. The answer Is we ure holding
up 2,000,000 Genn.i'N on our front, l
(ildes hammering the TuiK.-t, t ti nt. keep.
Ing the strain off Itiit.nl i In the Cau
casus, It would not ny Russia were we
to seek inUentures and tmnilt Indls.
cretloiiM,
"The worst thing for Russln th.it could
happen In the west would be that the
J'rtnch, Rrltlah and Relglnns should be
unable to continue the pressure which
still keeps the bulk of the best Herman
troops off the back of Russia. (Jcrmany
has lately drawn forward all her new
troops and staked her maximum, our
duty Is to fight on resolutely and coolly.
We count on Russia nnd Russia can
count on us. We look confidently to the
end."
The Time says editorially:
"It would bo foolish to belittle the
gravity of the threatened loss of War
saw and the Vistula. It Is full of warn
ing to the western Allies and means that
for a long time to come Russia may be
unable to resume a vigorous offensive;
that when Russia mflves forward again
she tnuit first reconquer her own lost
province, and that she la further off than
ever from nn Invasion of Germany. Vet
we may well draw fresh courage, con
templating the calm and spirited resolu
tion of the Russian people. They are
unmoved by the menace to Warsaw, Just
as a century ngo their ancestors were
unmoved by the toss of Moscow, They
know, ns we know, that the Allies can
hold out longer than their adversaries.
The withdrawal to them Is only a post
ponement. They yield to conquer.
".Meanwhile It Is plain that henceforth
the hurden of destroying the Oerman
menace will rest upon our shoulders to
a far greater degree. There la nothing
to be done now but to strain every nerve
and prepare for further battle ns It has
never yet been prepared. There Is one
step Immediately open to us which would
counteract In advance the moral effect
of the threatened fall of Warsaw nnd
deprive the Kaiser of half the glory of
the public" entry he to eagerly awalta
and hearten our allies as they have
never yet been heartened.
"If the Rrltlsh Oovernment would nt
once adopt the declaration making every
man of military age on these Island
llabte to military service, ns the Gov
ernment might direct, the moral effect of
the Herman successes In Russia would
he gone. Such a step would resolve the
Inst lingering d ubls In the minds of
our allies and would strike alike a knell
UHn tho mind and heart Of Germany.
It would cheer our gallant troops nt
the front and make them feel that the
period of hesitation Is at an end."

Lonpon, July 21 (Bnturday). Ths
Warsaw correspondent of the Standard
telegraphing under date of July 28, when
tho decision to evacuate the capital was
not nnnounced, reports that the Czar Is
holding n war council somewhere to the
eastward of the city.
He pictures the conditions In the city,
saying:
"Warsaw was never so crowded as In
these last few dsya. It Is nil wild com
motion. The peasantry, fleeing before
tho enemy, have come to town In their
picturesque Polish costumes, giving to
the streets touches of brightness. The
charitable have established public kltch
ens to supply them with food.
"Under ordinary circumstances ths
most arlstoerntle Roles nt this time of
the year would go to their country
estates, but now they are remaining In
the capital. There Is a tremendous
throng of officers, their wives nnd chil
dren and people who are assisting In
attending to the sick. It Is difficult to
get a room In a hotel.
"The otllcers get a leave of abisnce
from the tlgMltig Hue and come to Wat
nw, which Is gay In spite of the can
non booming. Though the prohibition
of the sate of alcohol throughout the
empire extends to I'oland there has been
plenty of champagne obtainable at the
rounds of soirees.
"The young Russian otllcers are very
hllthe as they ride through the streets
with women In the costumes of nurse',
who are licre to quicken ths convate.
cence of young gentlemen In the uni
form of the Czar. The Grand t)uki
Nicholas dliected a considerable num.
btr of there nurses being cleared out
of Wirsw and also ordered all women
who were not In Warsaw last July to
leave.
"The plnce Is honeycombed with
spies. Mnny captures have been mads
among the Roles. The Jews are quiet,
although some of them are under sum.
plclnn,
"There Is a curious under feeling
among the l'Jles that Knglnnd Is not
doing all that was expected of her. This
Is carefully fanned by the quiet, cease,
less German propaganda. Ths ma
jority cannot understand the slow prog
ress In Flanders.
RUZSKY AGAIN IN POWER.
Pkthoiiiiad, July 30. Gen. nuisky,
the most brilliant and magnetic General
of the day, has been restored to com
mand. Ills wonderful Influence over the
troops is responsible for ths check ad
ministered to Kleld Marshal von Hln
denburg north of Wnrsaw. Gen. Ruxiky
held the German General with his great
nnny and countless guns for four full
day, inflicting terrible losses.
Ho was the conqueror of Gallcla and
beat the Germans before Warsnw In
October nnd November. Although
modest, he Is aggressively active men
tally and physically.
Many persons here consider It a great
pity that his services were temporarily
withdrawn from the army.

Washington, July 80. The State De
partment haa Instructed Ambassador
Gerard at Berlin to ask the German
Government to furnish the United States
with certified copies of the papers of the
American Steamship Leelannw, torpe
doed by a German submarine off the
Scotch coast last Sunday.
Though the State Department haa
fairly complete Information about the
Leelanaw case, It la considered that ex
amination Into ship's papers la necessary
before- any bill for damages can be ren
dered to Germany, It la probable that
all representations in the case will be
delayed until the Department Is tn n posi
tion to draft a not covering nil details
nnd facts Involved. This will Include .t
statement from the owners of the Lee
Innaw, which haa not yet been forth
coming. It Is required by International law that
a commander of a warship when taking
a prlss or sinking a vessel shall take
charge cf the ahlp's papers. This waa
done by the German submarine com
mander In ths case of the Leelanaw and
the papers constitute the evidence to
establish many of the fact on which
may rest a determination as to whether
ths naval commander's action waa Justi
fied by law or not.
The United States la prepared to con
tend In the Leelanaw ense that It was a
violation of both International law and
the treaty of 1S2I between the United

RAID THE 'CLUB' OF
BECKER INFORMER
Cosfipan and His Gambling
Squad Descend on Jacob
Lillian's Place.
THREE PMSOXEHS TAKEN
Less than twelve hour after Charles
Becker paid with hla life for the Rosen
thal murder Lieut. Honest Dan Cost!
gnn nnd his gambling sqund the so
railed successor to Becker' strong arm
men raided the Flower nnd Feather f o
clal Benefit Club, Inc.. at 1T4 Sixth nve
r.u. nnd arrested, among others. Jacob
Luban, the president, whose brother.
Morris, was an Important wltnes for the
State against Becker.
The "club" was raided with axes, lad
der and crowbar yesterday afternoon
a a gambling house. Dollar John
Lnnger, once the close friend of Rosen
thal In the Tenderloin gambling fra
ternity, was said to be the club'
financial backer.
More than the ordinary significance of
a spectacular daylight raid attache to
the Incident, because only on Thursday
Luban complained to District Attorney
Perkins of police "persecution" nnd
sought protection for his place as a
straight social club.
Furthermore, It Is believed that the
police refrained from raiding the place
so long, although It character was
known to every policeman on post, be
cause of Luban' alleged protection from
the State a a Becker figure and the
fear that If the "club" wn attneked
before Hecker' death the raid would be
latd to the pollco "stem." That fear
was removed yesterday. The order to
raid th place came direct from acting
Police Commissioner Godley.
Apparently Luban and his associate
felt entirely secure fiom attack, for
when Costlgan and hla men forced their
way through the Ice box doors and front
and rear windows sixty-five persona
were enjoying the club' privileges.
No warrants were Issued before the
raid. Costigun said he went In merely
on general Information. Am soon a he
got Inside, however, the lieutenant sin
gled out Luban In the crowd that bncked
against the wall and arrested him.
"So you're the man who saya tho po
lice are protecting him, eh?" said Cos
tlgan to Lubnn.
"No. No. It's a lie. I didn't." pro
testrd Luban. "I swear before nil these
men here, I didn't,"
The sixty-five members of the Flower
and Feathr Social Benefit Club. Inc.,
were lined up. Thre of them, Lub.'n,
whose home Is nt 131 Fas'. Slxt..'nth
