WARSAW'S PERIL
FEEBLE DEFENCES OF THE CITY
MANY PORTS USELESS.
(Received August 11, 9.30 a.m.)
LONDON, 10th August. A German correspondent on the Polish front states that the Reds advancing on Warsaw on the south-east have circumvented the defences, and have jeopardised either flank. They are now directing the main attack at Raszymin. The outer forts of the defences of the city are entirely inadequate. Many of the works were blown up by the Germans. The eastern fortresses cannot be used at all. A strong line of field fortifications, ten miles from the city, of German construction, is well suited for defence.
