GERMANS TAKE WARSAW THIRD LARGEST CITY OF RUSSI IS YIELDED TO THE TEUTONS. Leopold of Barvaria Smashes Last D fenses. Russians Flee, Burning All of Value Behind. Berlin, by wireless to Tuckertown, N. J. Warsaw was taken by German troops, according to official announce ment made at German army headquar ters. ' ';. Bavarian troops under the command of Princer Leopold broke through the torts of v the oternd inner Bnes oi the city's defenses where the reai guards of the Russian troops made "a tenacious resistance. Continuing the report from head quarters says: 4 "The German armies under Gener al von Scholz and General von Call witz advanced in the direction of th road between Lomza, Ostrov, and VI zkow and fought a number of violen engagements. The grave and despei ate resistance of the Russians on botl sides of the road between Ostrov ant Rozan was without success., t "Twenty-two Russian officers an 4,840 soldiers were taken prisoners The Germans also captured 17 ma chine guns. "German cavalary defeated In'Cour land detachments of Russian cavalr? at points near Genaize, Blrschl ant Oniskszahty. A total of 2,225 Russiai prisoners were taken. "The situation near and to the norti of Ivangorod remains unchanged. "The campaign is being continued between the upper Vistula River an the River Bug. German cavalry mei have entered Wladimirwolynsk, oi the Bug Rjver. "In the Vosges there has" been z new engagement near the Lingekopf .' With the Russian admission in las; official communication that the Rus slan forces defending the Blonie front had been withdrawn all hope thai Warsaw could be saved was abandon ed. V ;- The outer line of forts to whicr the Russians withdrew are only sii miles from the center of the capita and these defenses apparently were carried, the inner line of defenses be Ing captured in ' time to enable the victors to enter the city early in th morning. The statement from Petrograd that the Russian retirement . to the Blonie Nadzaryn front , had been carried out unhindered was taken here to indicate that Grand Duke Nicholas had eyery: thing in readiness for the evacuation of Warsaw itself and. the announce ment in Berlin's statement that only a stubborn rear guard blocked the ad vance of v the Germans seems to con firm that, the main army with its guns escaped. The occupation of Warsaw also will have the effect of releasing large Ger man forces, concentrated on the re duction of the city and permit them to turn westward for renewed opera- i A At .

Russian reinforcements from Galicia, were brought up and the Germans were wept buck to their borders. ''' ' OF POLK COUNTY SHOULD STUDY BIRDS AND TREESWITH AID OF TEACH ERS,' FEED THE BIRDS SCHOOLS TO SOLVEROBLEM Germany Has Taught Her Children To Use Their Hands as Well as Their Heads ' (By Mary Schwarburg) Chautauqua, N Y - ,Aug 5. The Bird and Tree Club adds much to the interest of life at Chautauqua. What this club does here can be dene by many teachers throughout the States. The" children can be interested by talks and pictures and by watching the birds themselves in all the birds life around them; In winter have a regular feeding place and put up a j iece of poultry netting around a tree tnd put in it pieces of suet and watc the birds that come. A good bath lng( place" for birds is made by plac ing the bottom part of a flower pot oi a pest T a foot or two above the yround and putting therein a few stones on the outside edge. This ele yatlon serves to protect , the birds from cats who often prowl around. Gourds put in trees, houses made of the barks of the trees often make good homes' for the birds. One educator he e emphasized that the school house must be used to 3olve air problems of American life. We must not only have the three Rs but every thing else. When Em !eror Frederick William asked . Von MJtke and Bismsrk now Germany itid better her place in the cammej cial world, she stood 'fourth? those Treat men,, said, call th teachers oi the country together, 'this was done and that great body said that Indus irial tra'nlng was the way.
