SLTCLY OF AMMUNITION
(By Associated Tresa.)
London Jul.' S9. The exact status
of operations on the eastern frontier
is a puzzlo to students of the Warsaw
campaign. Even Petrograd is uncer-
tain aa to whether the vast opera
tions between the Bug and the Vistula
rivers mark a crisis n the battle or
si only a pause to allow one side or
the other to draw breath or rearrange
their forces. The Kussians claim that
the Aust.rbins have bnen thrown back
across the Dniestr.
Germans Are Halted at Gate.
London July 29. That the Rus
sians have dealt the German allies a
severe blow in their drive on Warsaw
is now certain. Although the Ger
mans are rushing reinforcements it is
known that the Russians are doing
likewise. The long expected arrival
of a half billion dollars worth of war
munitions shells and bombs to the
Russian army has changed the situa-
tion materially. It. Is now possible
for the Russians' to put two million
more well armed men in-- the field.
Russia has never suffered for want
of men but has been handicapped for
want of ammunition. That has been
supplied now and the battle for
Warsaw is now assuming a different
aspect. i

allow the fish to work up stream. The
