Fortresses are Falling Before the Teutonic

Made by the Germans Who are Delivering

BERLIN, Aug. 6. In full retreat over a vast front from the
Baltic sea to Galicia, the. great Russian field armies are now
threatened, with destruction.
With Warsaw in the hands of the Germans and other for
tresses and cities falling or about to fall before the Teutons,
the greatest campaign in history is rapidly drawing to a close.
Ivangorod, the fortress guarding Warsaw on the southeast, is
in Teuton hands, according to a Vienna dispatch and the occu
pation of Riga is only a matter of hours. Novo-Georgievsk, a
fortress 20 miles west of Warsaw, is being evacuated by the.
Russians.
The world never witnessed such a retreat as the Slavs are
making over a 300 mile front with the Germans hacking and
driving at their flanks in an effort to envelop and destroy the
Russian hosts.
With rare courage and desperation, the Slavs are trying to
save the railway from Warsaw to Petrograd, toward which
General Won Buelow is battering his way from the Baltic regi
on. The rush of Von Mackenzen northward toward Brest
Litovsk from the Lublin-Cholm line spells disaster to the Russi
an left wing if it succeeds. The flower of the Russian army is
opposing the Austro-Germans in this region.
Between widely separated wings of the Slav field forces, a
steady retreat is in progress. Grand Duke Nicholas is endeav
oring to wheel his million men into a strategic front in an ef
fort to block the German steamroller which has ground its way
through Galicia and across the plains of Poland, has taken
Warsaw and is now threatening to sweep on eastward.
BERLIN, Aug. 6 The German
have pierced the Novo Georgievsk no

mans have now snet away entirely

Novo-Georgievsk are moving east

Slav Hank around Serock. This makes

official statement gave no details of
the oeratinns east of Warsaw where
the Bavarians are continuing pursuit
of the Slavs driven out of Warsaw.
PARIS. Aug. 6. Beginning attacks
