WILL WARSAW FALL?

PETROGJIAD PREPARED FOR THE WORST. THE GRAND DUKE'S ADVANTAGE. (Received July 23rd. 1.30 a.m.) PETROGRAD, July 22. Military critics point out that tho Grand Duke Nicholas occupies a position similar to that which Napoleon used on divers occasions with tremendous effect against stronger foes. Yesterday's bulletin suggests that the Duke is holding the southern attack until he has dealt with the northern advance. Having tho inner lines and ample railroads, he is able to throw his strength against tho Germans as he pleaees. The Germans continue massing '-". solid wedge of troops and a vaet assemblage of guns in .the Vieprz Valley. The capture of Krasnostav has given them a useful starting point for Gonera! yon Mackensen's drive forward, with the object of cutting the Lubin-Cholm railway. . ' Public opinion in Petrograd is prepared for any neWs. Twenty-four hour services for victory U?gan on Tuesday evening. INTENSE INTEREST IN ENGLAND. HINDENBURG AGAIN A POPULAR HERO IN GERMANY. (Received July 23rd, 1.30 a.m.) LONDON, July 22. There is intense interest in tho latest tidings from tho Russian front. The newspapers have prepared the public for tho ;v>ssible fall of Warsaw. All accounts indicate that a stern strugglo v/ith desperate fighting is imminent. It is noteworthy that the German newspapers are restoring the Hind-su-burg legend. Pictures of his conference with the Kaiser at the Royal Castle at; Posen are being circulated everywhere. General yon Mackensen is mentioned occasionally, but apparently instructions have-boon givon that all credit shall bo given to "Father" Hindenburg.
