Berlh Aug. 5. (I. N. S.) (By
jWlrelesa to Sayvllle.) Smashing away
'the last bit of Russian opposition in
a series of brilliant assaults. Bavarian
.troops, led by Prince Leopold, today
occupied Warsaw, the capital of Po
land. The city's capture means the
possession of a network of strategic
railways on which the Russians had
depended to shift troops and munitions
of war.
Official announcement of Warsaw's
capture was made this afternoon. The
5 streets were lined with war mad
J throngs, and announcement was fol
lowed by a demonstration unparalleled
, In the history of the German capital.
Bat raw Prisoners Taken.
. , The main armies of Grand Duke
Nicholas, commander In chief of all
the Russian forces, escaped. This was
indicated in the official announce
"ment, which said that only 22 officers,
4840 men and 17 machine guns were
captured.
- Today's successful smash was the
third German drive on Warsaw. The
first was inaugurated early in May when
General von Mackensen Btarted his
drive against he Russians in the Car
pathians. A second drive was Btarted
following the recapture of Przemsyl
"and Leoiberg. Then the Germanic al

after advancing to within 15 miles of
Warsaw's defenses, halted, giving Gen

Bcholtz time to smash their way to the
Narew rier from the north, and Gen

time to reach Ivangorod from the
south, thereby completing a mammoth
enveloping operation. Still farther
south. Archduke Ferdinand and General
von Mackensen were directing offensive
movements for the purpose of prevent

mans. From a decisive engagement for he
possession of Warsaw, the operations
about the Polish capital grew into a

Mrs, 'Elizabeth Streif Says
; Attempt Was Made by
Man to Drown Hen
. . Telling a story, which resembles In
many details two other cases of auto
mobile kidnaping recently reported in
the city, Mrs. Elizabeth Streif, aged
45 years, of 468 Market street, is at
the Good Samaritan hospital, suffering
from exposure and the effects of an
attack, she says was made by an un
known man last evening.
Mrs. Streif was found unconscious,
her clothing' watersoaked and torn,
shortly before 4 o'clock this morning
by a chauffeur for J. P. Finley &
Bon, funeral directors. She was : ly
ing alongside the Macadam road, 60
yarfls north of the west approach to
the Sellwood ferry.
r Attorney Gt-orge R. McCoy, formerly
with offices in the Yeon building, was
blamed today by Mrs. Streif for her
troubles. She even said that he was
her assailant, but this is obviously
untrue as McCoy was in Jail at Van-
fcpuver. last night, charged with ob
taining money by false pretenses, and
today is in the Portland city jail.
. Recites Story to Officials.
Reciting her story to officials at the
Good Samaritan hospital this morning
and City Detective Tom Swennes, after
'she had rested and- partaken of food,
Mrs. Streif said that her assailant,
after riding her about the tity and on
tbe country roads south of the city at
a breakneck pace for several hours
last night, tried to drown, her by tying
' her hands and throwing her in the
'river.
Her troubles began, she said, nine
months ago, when she was, granted a
divorce from her husband. Attorney
McCoy, in the municipal court room
' this morning, said he had represented
the woman, in this action. Her hus
band and, jS.-hlldren. are , now living- at

main Russian array at stake. But
Grand Doke Nicholas appears to have
escaped the German trap and Berlin
authorities are open in their admira
tion of his cleverness and skill.
Xioss Is Blow to Bnssia.
Warsaw fall is a most severe'blow
to the Russians; It was the strongest
link in a chain of fortresses protecting
interior Russia. Its political and moral
effect will be far reaching.
Hampered tnroughout the campaign
by a lack of munitions. Grand Duke,
Nicholas fought bravely and well, but
he must have known from the start
that his was a losing battle. The very
flower of German armies was pitted
against him. Time after time he
stemmed the German tide, but the per
fection of the German aries, with their
perfect equipment and an endless supply
of ammunition, was not to be denied.
The Bavarian forces were the first
to enter Warsaw. The official an
nouncement said that Prince Leopold's
forces, in the face of a murderous
fire, broke through the forts of both
the outer and inner lines and swept
everything before them. '
Assault Termed Brilliant.
"It was the most brilliant assault
of the war," said General von Hin
denburg in reporting the vkstory to
Berlin headquarters.
Kaiser ' Wilhelm . was,, expected to
return to Berlin not later than Sun
day. He will assemble his military
advisers at the palace and plans tor
a new campaign against tha .British,
and French in the west will b made.
The wapiti re" of Warsaw will release
hundreds of thousands of the eastern
campaigners and these will be hurled
against tne allies In the west.
Kaiser Wilhelm believes that tho,'
Russians are beaten and now that?
Warsaw is captured he expects to be
p.ble to clean up the French and the
British in a comparatively short time.
30 ports Encircled City.
There were more than 30 forts en
circling Warsaw, but those on. the
western side were the strongest. The
outer ring was made up of six forts
and these were located just seven
miles from the city. The inner ring
was one and one half miles nearer the
city, the - chief forts being Rakow,
Powazkl, Szczcaliwice, Rakowiec,
Sluziwice, Gorce, Grochow, Sluzew,
Aleksandrow, Bielany. . Gac, Jelonki
and Odalany. The : citadel lies in a
northern suburb and the infantry bar
racks in the northern part of the city.
Warsaw proper lies on the westerY1
bank of the Vistula river. The ca
airy barracks are in a southern subuijb.
The palace, town hall and cathedrbl
are near the banks of the Vistula.'
Was Russian Base.
" Warsaw was the greatest weste
concentrating point of the railway sjfc
terns of Russia. The greatest of the
bridges across the Vistula also are
located there.
Ever since the war, Warsaw has been
the base of Russian operations. Grand
Duke Nicholas made the city his head
quarters. German officials believe that coun
tries now neutral, but on the brink of
war, will pause as a result of War
saw's falL
General von Kindenburg was jus
five days late with his promise to ac
complish the fall of Warsaw by Au

OfflciAl Statement of Capture.
The official announcement said:
"Reports from eastern headauarters
this morning say that Warsaw was
taken yesterday.
"Prince Leopold's Bavarians broke
through the forts of the outer and
inner lines where the Russian rear
guards have been making a tenacious
resistance.
"The armies of General von Scholtz
and General Van Gallwltz have occu
pied Lomza. Ostrow and Wyszkow,
affter terrific engagements."
The official statement said that 22
Russian officers, 4S40 men and 17 ma
chine guns were captured.
Success In Courland Claimed.
"Russian cavalry in Courland," con
tinued the statement, "met decisive de
feat, our forces capturing 2225 men.
"The situation about Ivangorod in
unchanged.
"Our forces are pursuing the enemy

CHANCE TO END WAR
If Trouble Continues Confer

Washington. 'Aug. 5.- (U, P.) One
of the most Important pan-American
conferences in history was held here
today when Secretary Lansing met
with the envoys of the South
American republics. Mexico was
the subject under discussion and
how to end the anarchy existing there
the particular question to be consid
ered. -
The conference was secret .In
addition to Secretary Lansing, it was
expected Paul Fuller, President .Wil
son's special Mexican investigator,
would represent the United States.
From South America there .were the
ambassadors from Argentine, Brazil
and the ministers from Bolivia, Uru
guay and Guatemala.
Ambassador Suarez of Chile was un
able to be present, so the conference
proceeded without him.
Peace Flan Outlined.
The plan of the United States for
the restoration of peace . in Mexico was
to be outlined to the South' American
envoys, it was ' understood, and their
approval and co-operation were to be
sought.
It is accepted that under the pro
gram expected to be agreed upon the
warring ' Mexican factions - will be
given a. last chance to settle their own
difficulties. ' It is certain, however,
that: a time limit will be fixed - in
which this may be accomplished. If,
at the expiration, of this time limit
chaos still exlets, then the pan&Ameri-
caa confereea will greei upon . jsprae
candidate' for . the presidency, .of Mex
ico, and support him.
May Vante 'Tagle. .
If the Mexican factions should come
to an agreement and name General
Carranza as their choice for provis
ional president, the conferees will ac
cept him, but if the Mexicans cannot
agree, then the United States and the
South American republics will prob
ably join i supporting Vasquez Tagle,
minister of Justice in the Madero cab
inet. Carranza is known to be opposed to
Tagle, but If he should resist his as
sumption of power as head of the gov
ernment once Tagle is chosen by. the
Pan-American conferees, then the for
mer minister will be supported by
force. :

At the Carranzista headquarters it
was claimed this afternoon that Am

vor of recognizing General Carranza
as provisional president. Ambassa

sition of Secretary Lansing is not
known. With this array, the Carran

for a deflnte decision comes those In
sympathy with the "first chief" will
be in control. They hope' to induce
one of the conferees to present a brief
claiming that ninety"- per cent Of the
Mexicans recognize Carranza as the
head of the government.
Scott May Se Sent. .
It was denied ' today that General
Scott has been definitely chosen to
act as an envoy tcfthe Mexican fac
tions to present to them the necessity
of reaching an agreement. It was ad
mitted, however, that he would prob
ably be selected. He Is recognized as
the best man that could be chosen for
such a mission, having had wide ex
perience and great success in such
work in the Philippines and among the
Indians. ,
Battery A of the Fifth Artillery was
ordered from Fort Sill, Okla., to El
