Whilo retiring from Warsaw and abandoning their en tire line in 1'oland, the Russians are fighting one of the moat magnificent rear guard notions the world has ever ween. Small forces along the Narew river and west ctf Warsaw are holding the German in cheek while the main arm ies of Grand Duke Nicholas continue o withdraw toward the new line from Kovno to Brest-Litovsk. Only the progress made by Fiold Marshal Von Muckensen to the south fast in seizing the Lubliu-Cholm rail way has made the capture of the Polish 'apilul possible. The Narew line is Mill holding firmly, though heavy with drawals have been made. And it was here that Field Marshal Von Hiuden burg expected to break through to the .Hug. Troops Drawn From West Front. When it was evident that the Rus aians were about to escape from the trap which hail been planned, owing to the iuabilitv of Von Hi nilenhurir tn liiLjk the northern front, the field mar- .niui asR.M lor reinforcements from the westorn battle line. The troops re quested were withdrawn from the Krench front, aeeojding to an official .statement here, which significantly stated: "This fact creates favorablo condi tions for active operations on the part of the allies in the west." Thore was no general offensive at tempted by the Hritish and Trench, however, and this fact has resulted in intimations of some dissatisfaction on the part of the Russian war office. Russia Is Determined. In nddressing the dutna today Min ister of War Polivanoff declared that having the crops of this yenr, Russia is prepared to continue tho war for sev eral years insofar as her economic, eon- lition is concerned. Attention is also iieing turned to the munitions problem and tne production is expected to be greatly increased. "Germany must be beaten at all osts, else all Kurope will fall under the Teuton yoke," the war minister de clared. Germans Pay Heavy Toll.

(Written for the United Press.) -New York, Aug. 2. Russia is onunilv appealing to the allies to assist her uy developing a nia.jor ortensive on the western front. Hitherto the pressure being brought for help has been secret. There were unofficial intimations of a plea for a western offensive telegraph ed from Petrcyrnd Inst week, but the government was silent. In today s communique the govern mcnt declares the Germans are moving j troops from the west to tho east, and adds, this "f rentes favorablo conditions for active operations on the part erf tho allies in tho west. By this the C7.ar openly demands that, the allies; no longer remain idle whilo the Rus- sians are being forced to abandon Po- j land. It is not probable that tho allies are announcing an offensive is about to be-! gin. ireumstances suggest that the Slavs have been unablo to persuade them to strike.

The situation is uu pleasant for France nnd England. Not only are they made uncoinfortablo by Russia officially and openly advising them what to do, but there exists the possibility of a rupture from the allies' persistent refusal to tnke the offensive. That they are unable to assume the offensive because of a shortage of mu nitions, Petrogrnd apparently does not believe. The necessity of husbanding ammunition to withstand a possible German effort to reach Calais does not impress Petrngrad as much as London and Paris. If the allies remain innc- tive despite Russin's nppeal thero is certain to bo resentment in PotTograd Tho evacuation of Poland will be asso ciated in tho Russian mind with the absence or an ettort ly tno nines on tho west.
