London Aug. G. The German.-? are
In possession of Warsaw capital of
Poland and third largest dty in the
Russian empire. Pavarluii troops en-
tered the city Thursday nvining hav-
ing successfully taken the Klonle
lines and the outer and irner fort-
resses of the city itself the Russians
fighting only rear guard actions to
allow their main army to make good
its escape.
While to the Bavarians command-
ed by Prince Leopold has fallen the
honor of taking over Warsaw in the
name of the German emperor and
his consort who are expected to
make a state entry within a few days
the real connuerers are the troops
lighting under Field Marshal von 1 1 in- j
denburg along the Narew :icr to the
northeast; to the Auslro-Gei mans
who crossed the Vistula scuth or the
city and to the armies jf the Aus-
trian Archduke Joseph Ferdinand and
the German Field Marshal von Mack-
onsen which are advancing north-
ward between the Vistula and Hug
livers.
The Russians are fighting desper-
ately and stubbornly to check the
progress of these four armies and
have had several succefse inflicting
heavy losses on their pursuers: but
they are being steadily piessed back
which made the longer .vecupation of
the Warsaw Polish salient an ardu-
ous undertaking.
Even now although the steadiness
of the Russian troops and treir fierce
counter-attacks have gained much val-
uable time for them H is problem-
atical whether the whole Russian
army will succeed in Teaching the
new positions chosen for 't or wheth.

IRE PLANS
REV. J. W. BURNS WILL BEGIN A
SERIES OF EVANGELICAL
MEETINGS AUGUST 16 IN OIL
FIELD TOWN.
The Christian church in southern
Oklahoma will divide honors with the
Haptlsts and the Methodists from this
time on in evangelical work. The First
Christian church of thi city has un
dertaken to organize at least one new
church each year and a meeting will
be begun at Wilson on Monday Aug.
10 which will have as its object the
organization of a church in that city.
Rev. J. W. Hums pastor of the church
will do the preaching and the music
will be in charge of Prof. Fred Poul-
ter of this city. Wilson people of all
denominations will be favored with
some common sense practical ser-
mons that will be of interest and that
will be helpful to all and the music
will be a prominent feature of the
meeting. The meeting is to be con
tinued for two weeks.
Hewitt formerly had a Christian
church but it has been abandoned
and the workers who will go from
here will find a number of persons
there of their faith and the organiza-
tion of a church will be rendered much
easier because of that fact. Ardmore
people will take much interest in
the series of meetings and many
from here will be in attendance.
