Lublin has been occupied by the Austro-German forces and. according to reports of Austrian aviators, tha Russians bav begun the evacuation of Warsaw, capital of Po land Simultaneously with these dispatches an official order was printed today In the Bourse Gazette. Petrograd. Inter preted to mean that the Russian gov ernment ts resigned to the mammoth reverse now under way, but In no way discouraged. On the other hand. It sptaks of continuance of war on Ger many, "maybe for years." To the north of Warsaw the Germans are making a determined effort to reach Vllna with the object of severing tha Warsaw-Petrograd railway and of maklnr more hazardous the retirement of the Russian forces in the region of the Polish capital. Owe Liu Retreat Cat. Lublin Is an Important city on the railroad southeast of Warsaw, and which military experts thought would b defended at all costs by the Russians as a Una of retreat from the TVillah eaDltal. Entrance Into Lublin by Austrian cavalry followed closely on one of the imtm-Gtmu armies forcing cross ings of the Vistula River at several points between Warsaw and Ivangorod. Latest reports indicate that the on- i f to reutons continues. Official admission of the evacuation of Lublin was made in the statement of the Russian general staff at Petrograd, which said: Tha Russian forces on Thursday night between the Vistula and the Bug r.tir unmolested to new positions. We evacuated the town of Lublin and .-. nv kdirnii the stations of Novo Alexandrl and RUoveU." Km Heae Held fer Warsaw. Tha most optimistic military ob nnw holds oat no hope for War saw, while most of them are trying to Amr out some means by which tne Russian armies may safely retreat to a new line of defense along the eastern Ksmlr of Poland. Grand Duke Nicholas, commander-in-chief of the Russian forces, has de creed, according to a Reuter's Petro grad dispatch, that no property in Warsaw shall be destroyed unless such a step Is imperative from a viewpoint of military necessity.

(SaeclaL) Miss Catherine Barker, the 130,000.000 heiress, was married today to Howard Spauldlng, Jr. There was a gap In the bridal pro cession as it moved from the dining room to the rose-covered altar in a cor- ,.f th a aun norch. overlooking Jjlt- n Tr.v,r Bav. The gap should have been filled by Miss E.uzaDei.i Goodrich, maid of honor. What was characterized by the Gooa- .i.h., m "ullirht misunderstanding between Miss Goodrich and Howard Snauldlna: was responsible for the ab- ftnee of the maid of honor. The cause will not be told by members or either r.miiv Tt la aatd to have been Drew lng for some time, however, and must have been serious, as Spauldlng ana Miss Goodrich have been ciosa irienas. Dress and Hat Returned. It was understood Miss Goodrich sent back her dress and hat earlier in the day. The break in friendly relations be tween Miss Goodrich and young Mr. Spauldlng has' not affected the other members of the families. Mr. and Mrs. Albert TV. Goodrich attended the wed ding, and their other daughter. Miss Rosamond Goodrich, acted as, one of the bridesmaids. A rumor of the misunderstanding went through the Harbor Point Sum mer colony late Friday night, but the fact that Miss Elizabeth Goodrich at tended the dance given by her mother to the young members of the bridal party tended to discredit It. Mrs. Good rich was not present, however, at that affair. ' Girls Still Are Friends. "Elizabeth and Katherlne are still good friends," said Mrs. Goodrich to aay it is Just a misunderstanding between Elizabeth and Mr. Spaulding. concluded on Page 6. Column 3.)

Bridges- were torn out, roads gullied and part of the O.-W. R. & N. track near Durkee wasv swept away last night by the first cloudburst of the ...inn in this vicinity. Standing grain in the Burnt River country worth thousands of dollars was destroyed. The eastbound train was delayed four hours while a wrecking crew hurried to the spot from La Grande and re paired the" damage to the roadbed. Streams which a few minutes peiore had carried a few inches of water rushed down the canyons six feet deep, and auto parties were forced to wait In the drenching rain until they couia cross ii safety. One machine, carry ing Mr inH Mrs. W. G. Ayre and Miss Gertrude Lee, prominent people of this city, arrived at the bridge across Dry Creek just as the flood gained its height, and as the driver threw on the brakes the flooring of the bridge was lifted and swept away.

IN WARSAW DISTRICT. BRYAN VISIT ENDS WITH PLANS VEILED Commoner in Politics Still, He Shows.. OLD AMBITIONS NOT DENIED Democratic Victory in 1916 Confidently Predicted. PRAISE GIVEN MR. WILSON Nothing Said or Done to Eliminate Nebraskan From Presidential Kace Mrs. Bryan Shares Honors and Speaks. Brvan came and went and his future political status Is Just as much of a mystery to the Bryanites as ever. But to others than the devout Bryan ites his probable future is less of a mystery. Th.w infl!r Brvan largely by his past performance record, and that record reveals an ammtion 10 do s-io...- During his brief 30-hour stay in fori-,-. nrvnn nlt nothlna- and said nothing to indicate that he has altered that ambition. .rip of formal declarations yesterday he reiterated the assertions of the day before, that he does noi ex pect" to be a candidate tor any pou- cal office. Even Plans Denied. "I have no political expectations whatever." he said, "and no plans look ing to the holding of any office In the future." . That Is the substance of what he saia Friday evening, when he arrived. In response to the report that he may deny himself all future personal po litical ambitions and devote his time largely to the academic discussion of the principles for which he stands, he made the following noncommital comment: "There is one class in this country that has Insisted that I should prom ise never under any circumstances to be a candidate for anything. I have never felt that ltaa necessary to gratify this cl.sS by making a prom ise of that kind, and I do not think it necessary to make that kind of a prom ise now.", Declaration Gives Comfort. The "Bryan-at-any-prlce" Democrats are taking a lot of comfort from this declaration. They believe that it leaves their idol in a position where he can accept gracefully any future Presiden tial nominations that may come bis way. Those Democrats who have been displeased with the time and the man ner of Mr. Bryan's recent resignation from the Cabinet fear it means the same thing. Mr. Bryan is confident of Democratic victory next year. He expresses con fidence in a tart of matter-of-fact way that leaves no room for argument so far as he is concerned. His carefully dictated expressions on the political situation yesterday carried respectful praise for President Wilson and the President's manner of dealing with domestic and International prob lems, and were enthusiastic in predict ing victories for the Democratic party. "The party has earned the confidence of the people, and a Democrat has rea son, therefore, to expect a Democratic victory in 1916," he said. Republican Dlaaater Seen. While he was full of confidence In discussing the future hopes of Democ racy, he could see nothing but gloom ..j rfi.,cir jihead for the Republican I As far as the Republican party is con 1 i u f a much oeDends unon the certirii, no - - - - future attitude of a certain Colonel liv ing at Oyster Bay. N. Y. rf mr Roosevelt eoes back to the Republican party," he asserted, "he will carry with him those progressive Re publicans who left the party out of personal attachment to him. while th Democratic party can nope ro Baiu -support of those progressives who really are opposed to Republicanism as represented by the leadersnip oi mo regular Republican party." He can see no progressive tendencies In what he calls the "Taft branch" of the Republican party. "Its leaders are not only unrepentant but are boastful of standpatism," he said. "They desire success so that they may undo what has been done. Mr. Brynn Still In Politics. Th.t nfr Rrvan still is in politics, and very much in Democratic politics, was amply demonstrated. He was in re peated conferences with various Demo cratic leaders and near-leaders, and ad mittedly discussed the local political situation. His several public addresses con tained more or less of political expres- eion the speech before the Jackson Club, at the ehamber of Commerce, more, and the one before the women at the Portland Hotel less. At the Jackson Club luncheon he took occasion to deny that there is any split or threatened split between him and the President or In the Democratlo party. He gave that party credit for all the "progressive" legislation enact ed in the several states and in the Nation at large. His address before the women was largely In - support of woman suf frage, but he had to divide honors with Mrs. Bryan. In fact. Mrs. Bryan re ceived a major portion of the honors.
