PfuAX IS TO DIVIDE RUSSIANS Teuton Hop) to Drive Mammoth Wedge Into Koes Line. AfSTRIA.V ARMT HEAIKJUAR TEKrf. via London. Aug. 4. News of the evacuatlop by tha Russians of the fortresses of Warsaw and ivangoroa is expected here from hour to hour. While general attention Is concen trated on the impending; Russian evac uation of Warsaw and tha Vistula .line, events of scarcely less Importance are taking place on the southeastern front. namely the Austrian-Hungarian pass age of the Bus; River line and tha ad vance aa-alnst ladlmir-Volynsk and KoveL In Yelhynla. This operation renders the position ef the Ruasian left wing In Kast Gall ria precarious and probably will be tha determining factor In forcing tne re tirement of the Russians from the Bug, Ziota Upa and Dniester line, and In freeing Galicia entirely from the In vading army. The destination of the Austrian wedge which crossed the Bug River between Fokal and Krylow is appar ently KoveL an Important railroad junction located on the southern edge cf the Grat Rokltno swam pa. The rffects'of this advance will be to cut communication between tha Russian artni's operating In Pols id and Foutbern Russia and accomplish what Field Marshal Baron Conrad von lloet sendorf and Field Marshal von llln- denburg hitherto have been unable to do. namely, drive a complete breach In the long Russian battle front and ) one set of. armies operating to the northwest of the Impassable swamps and the other to the south west of this region without the pos siblllty of transferring reinforcements from one to the other except by a long. circuitous railway Journey through Central Russia. The Russians may therefor be ex parted to offer tha strongest resistance to these operations. AUSTRALIANS PLAY HERE OTTDEST TOVRI5TS BtD APPEAR AT OAKS.

TWO OF FIVE APPROVE Women Members Say Board Sane tloned Engagement at Empress Theater Men Make Denial In Public Statement. The Rev. Frank W. Gorman, pastor of Atkinson Memorial Congregational Church, who is known as "the sing ing parson" and who last Monday be gan an engagement at the Empress Theater to make additional money to enable him to pay off soma financial obligations, may lose his pastorate as a result or the adventure. Three deacons of the church have Issued a signed statement saying the pastor's action was not sanctioned. Two other deacons, women, through on of them, say tha action waa sane tloned. The three deacons who frown on Rev. Mr. Gorman's vaudeville engage ment, are Charles W. Stubbs. W. B. Bethune and O. Holowell. The two other deacons who were not consulted when th statement by th other three was issued are Mrs. W. L Wheaton and Mrs. G. W. Reynolds. Rev. Mr. Gorman said he had the sanction of the prudential committee, which had been erroneously referred to as the superintending committee, of the church, which Includes tne Doara of deacons and tha advisory board, but the three who signed- the protest say they did not indorse the engagement. although they did not protest it st the time it came up. Th two women mem bers. of the board of deacons say. the sanction was quite complete. Sanetiea Given, Says Paator. Rev. Mr. Gorman vesterdar exDlalnod that his ''engagement on the Empress stage this week, singing Bacred and favorite seml-sacred songs, came al most providentially in answer to a prayer for some means of discharg ing obligations which had accrued while he has been taking ear ol bis aging parents. Tha statement signed by the three deacons is as follows: "Owing to the fact that there has been so much publicity given for ad vertlslnar purposes to the statement that Rev. Frank W. Gorman, pastor of tha Atkinson Memorial Congregational Church, has the sanction of th 'super Intending committee of the church (a committee which does not exist and of which we know nothing) to enter into a contract to appear in vaudeville In a local ' theater, and as there has been no approval given by the church or any committee, we, the deacons of the church, feel that injustice has been done to our church and to all othet churches of this city, and that this statement should b corrected." Indorsement la Denied. Charles W. Stubbs said yesterday "Mr. Gorman's engagsment has aroused a lot of criticism of our church We did not indorse the plan, and our object of making th statement was to put us right in the eyes of th public." Asked if a report that tne protest was a first step that might lead to the removal of Mr. Gorman from th pas torate, Mr. Stubbs answered. "It might." Rev. Mr. Gorman said yesterday: "I told the prudential committee that I had financial obligations to meet and that I would like to sing at th Em press to help pay these debts which I have accrued in helping-to care for mj mother. Mr. Stubbs said. That is all right, if we can tell them that.' " Mrs. Wheaton said yesterday: "There has been no criticism I have heard: ths congregation is not opposed to the engagement under ths circum stances. Mrs. Reynolds and I were not oonsulted when the three other dea cons wrote to tna newspapers, j. ao not think that he will be asked to re sign. I certainly consider that tull sanction was given Mr. Gorman." It Is possible th matter will com up at a church meeting tonight. Garrison's Itrport Nearly Ready. WASHINGTON. Aur. 4.
