LONDON. July 81. 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

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

Novo Alexandrl and RUoveU."

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. Owners of prop
erty and growing crops which are de
stroyed will be ' Indemnified, by the
Russian government.

Specific routes have been designated
for the use of the inhabitants of War-

I herrbv solemnly declare that

These words of Emperor Nicholas, of
(Russia, uttered at the Winter Palace

press of Fetrograd on the anniversary
of the war.

HARBOR SPRINGS. Mich.. July I.
(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

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.

BAKER, Or., July 81. (Special.)
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

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

the brakes the flooring of the bridge
was lifted and swept away.

BRYAN VISIT ENDS

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.
This meeting was anenucu ujr
