AFTER THREE MONTHS' COSTLY
FIGHTING.
LONDON, August 7th, After the failure of the four previous attacks, the first of which began in October, the Germans have at length succeeded in capturing Warsaw; but a three months battle has been necessary to achieve this result, which not merely cost the enemy stupendous lossen, but left the situation in Poland still largely undecided; besides giving the western Allies further breathing space, which may prove to have a more definite effect on the result of the war than the costly triumph Waresw.

The evacuation of Warsaw has caused pain to Russian hearts, but the opinion is-unanimous that it only strengthens the determination of the Russians to pursue the war to a victorious end. The news paper Retch affirms that so long as the Army is intact we can confidently face the future. The Bourse Gazette says that Germany will exhaust her strength in vainly seeking to deal Russia & mortal blow. Another newspaper emphasises the fact that Russia cannot lose Poland and the Baltic. provinces without renouncing national problems and accepting the don dition of a semi-Asistio State.

AUSTRIAN COUNTER-
Messages from Warsaw prior to the evacuation declare that the police, with AUSTRO-ITALIAN FRONT. their chief, are remaining to the last day. German airmen are daily dropping bombs, and provisions are at famine prices. A party of Uhlans, who crossed the Vistula, were captured. The Germans advancing were meeting with innumerable fires and were preceded by detachments of military firemen. Jirardoff, Groetze, and Blonie were blazing when occupied by the enemy.
The loss of the city is undoubtedly blow, so it was the greatest military depot in Western Russia and a supply bass for the Bussian armies. It was generally. understood to be a first-class fortress, con- WAR ONLY NOW BEGINNING stitat.ng,

Besides an innor belt of fige fortresses within the city, there is an outer belt of ten forta on the left bank of the Vistula and seven. on the right bank, all of which however, were not more than five miles from the city, which was thus at the mercy of modern guns. This, probably, was the reason for the Russian evacuation. It is
believed that the whole fortress was equipped with 1,400 guns.

It is improbable that way of these or that much other booty has fallen into the hands of the Germana; indeed, tolegrams, via Amsterdam, show that the transports of joy into which the whole of Germany was thrown at the fall of WaraLW were mingled with disappointment owing to the absence of the details of the booty and the number of prisoners, From official bulleting recording the event there is every indication that the Russians re- treated in good order, leaving nothing of read military value. The Kaiser tele phoned the news to the Kateerin, who ordered General von Kessel, commanding Berlin, to send cyclists throughout the capital to announce the evacuation.

Prince Leopold of Bavaria has hitherto been scarcely mentioned in any of the onery communiqués. It is asserted that General von Mackensen should have enter ed Varsaw, but owing to the necessity of satisfying the Bavarians, whose losses in Poland have been very heavy, von Mackon sen was ordered to transfer his command to Prince Leopold.
