London, Auf. 7. ? The Russian
armies are fighting their way back
ward toward Ruaalan proper, in D lat
in* blows on the invaders wherever
possible, trying to fend them off the
railways running north and south/
la order that the ends of the der
ma* nippers may not meet and bring
disaster to 4tusalan arms.
Tha Russians are menaced by Gen.
Von Bnelow's columns beading south
ward and - By FVeld Marshal Von
Mackensen*s sou diem army bending
northward. The fall ef rvangorod
proper is oflU^ally reported today in
bulletins * b Jh from Berlin and
Vlrnoa.
Panj? of Winter Campaign.
What the Germans will do next ia
a military way after attempting to
complete thalr enveloping movement
la a matter of much speculation. If
the Campaign against the Russians
Is not energetically pushed there is
the ponthUity of the present vlcto
rjea being undone, and If an offejw
slvs In -the east Is oontlnued the Ger
mans face the dangers of a winter
campaign in Russia.
Conservative students here think
It will result in a compromise, in
which the Germans will withdraw'
part of their eastern army, leaving
enough men to maintain and secure
the defensive positions when they
have dug themselves in.

Today's news warrants the con

merely for rear guard actions. The

situated on both sides of the river
