RUSSIAN MILITARY EXPERT OPINION.

August 6, 10.40 p.m. Owing to the destruction of the three bridges at Warsaw the Ger- mans were confronted by the task of orossing the Vistula which here is 350 yardawide. The Russians still occupy the suburb of Praga on the right bank. Surpriss was expressed at Petrograd at the German dolay in oocopying Wares. Some attributed this to the weakeningstrength of the German armies, but now it is also believed that the Germans did not desire to drive the Russians from the capital, but would have von Hindenberg had hoped to drive the Russian Narow army south- ward, on top of the army opposing General von Mackensen, but now the Germans may be planning a larger envelopment from the extreme north. Developments are awaited with the keenest interest, as the Germans have 350,000 men marching towards the Dwina.

August 8, 1.20 p.m. Reuter's correspondent at Romo reports that on Italion dirigible which was attacking Pola, where recently there have been many successful raids, was brought down by gun fire and the crow of six was captured.

PROBABLY ANOTHER ULTIMATUM.

Russian military experts to-day emphasise that the war is now only beginning in earnest for Russia. They say their Allies in the weet have had eight months' comparativo oalm and have greatly reinforced themselves.

The Russian army understands and highly appreciates the assistance of the Allies, who are providing the supplies and sustain- GERMANY THREATENS VENGEANCE AGAINST ROUMANIA. ing an anexampled blockade of the German coast.

Anguel 7, 5.00 p.m. A Paris communique eays that grenade fighting is taking place in Bouchez, Artillery combata at Trucy le Val and Berry au Bao are very lively in Argonne. A strong German reconnaissance in Lorraine was dispersed.

GERMAN ACTIVITY IN FRANCE..

August 6, 5.45 p.m. Renter's correspondent at Paris sage the Germans are showing considerable activity and are evidently desirous of keeping the French busy in the different section. All the German movements have been easily repulsed,

The Crown Prince's army in the Argonne has developed most intense hand grenade sotions, supported by the artillery, especially Inat night around Hill 213,

The communique adds that the Germans oven attempted to debouch but were immediately checked by the French fire. Twico the enemy at acked the heights of the Mouse but were defeated by grenades and artillery,

IMPORTANT NEGOTIATIONS,

Angust 6, 7.20 p.m. Reater's correspondent at Nish saya that the Allies are conduct ing most important negotiations in the Balkans with a view to an agreement of the Balkan States, then an entente between the Balkans and the Allies. The latter sent a collective "demarche" to the Servian premier, yesterday, entirely friendly, hoping that the Balkan settle- ment would assist in bringing the final success of the Allies nearer.

GERMAN PRESS ANGRY.

August 7, 10.00 a.m.

The Italian papers are very interested in the "demarche" of the Allies.

In Athens it is said there is a wish for the opening of the re- vision of the treaty of Bukharest, as it is absolutely necessary.

The Tribuna learns that Servis is disposed to oede to Bulgaria the region around Ltb in the debatable Trin, south east of Dekab. It is also convinced that it is essential there should be a Ramano-Bulgarian entente with the Allies.

Tremendous battles however are still raging to the north and the south of the capital, the Russian rearguarda evidently attacking gallantly and fiercely,

The Germans only make the vaguest olaims, not mentioning any captures. The communique laconioally records cavalry battles in Courland and hinte at the investment of Novogeorgiever. It admite Russian, siticks on the Narew front and also in the south eastern theatre.

STUBBORN FIGHTING.

Augul 7, 2.55 a.m.

A Petrogral communique rejo:ts that the Germans were repulsed on the 5th between the Daina and the Niemen, where the situation is unchanged,

There was desperate fighting all Wedresday night and Thurs- day on the left bank of the Narew and on the roads to Rozin, Oa'rolenka and to Ostrow. A aories of vigorous Russian counter- attacks held up the enemy on an extensive front at a distance of six miles from the river. The tassians captured a few hundred pri- Boners, Violent fighting hore continues.

All is quiet on the middle of the Vistula since the Russians retreated to the right bank. Warsaw was evacuated in order to save the city a bombardment. The fruitless attempts of the enemy to extend their zone of occupation only continued in the Matzeevitzs district between Warsaw and Ivangorod.

The battles on the 5th in the region between the Vistula and the Bug were contested most stubbornly. The enemy concentrated bis fira by maesed artillery, and the Russians were obliged to retire

a little to the north.

Aa Aastita communique simply mentions the continuance of pursuit and the battles taking place in the region between the Vitals and Bag.

GERMANY'S OLD MEN TO FIGHT.

August 6, 9.20 p.m. Router's correspondent at Ameterdem states that the German Government is negotiating, with the political leaders, for the passage of a Bill calling to the colours men up to 50 years of age. Such a denision will produce a most profound effect throughout Germany, but there is little doubt but that it will be adopted by the Reichstag
