;» THE RUSSIANS LOSE THE POLISH CAPITAL! move toward Constantinople I GERMANY MAKES AN OFFER OF PEACE Bavarian Troops Enter City of Warsaw in Name of the Kaiser A despatch from London says: The Germans are in possession of War- saw, capital of Poland, and the third largest city in the Russian Empire. Bavarian troops entered the city this morning, having taken successively the Blonie lines and the outer and Inner fortresses of the town ' itself, the Russians only fighting rear-guard actions to allow their main army to make good its escape. According to a despatch from Pet- rograd, the troops which were cover- ing Warsaw retired without being at- tacked towards the new front assign- ed to them on the east bank of the Vistula. They blew up behind them all the bridges over the river. This victory undoubtedly has cost the Teutonic allies an enormous price, hundreds of thousands of their finest troops having fallen in the last few weeks of the campaign of Poland. While to the Bavarians commanded by Prince Leopold has fallen the ho- nor 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 conquerors are the troops fight- ing under Field Marshal von Hinden- burg, along the Narew River to the north-east; the Austro-Germans who crossed the Vistula to the south of the city, and the armies of the Aus- trian Archduke Joseph Ferdinand and the German field marshal, von Mac- kensen, which are advancing north- ward betwean the Vistula and Bag Rivers. ' -. Even now, although the steadiness of the Russian troops and their fierce counter-attacks have gained much valuable time for them, it is proble- matical whether the whole Russian army will succeed in reaching the new positions chosen for it or whether, if it should get there, it will not find those positions turned by the Aua- trians, who have crossed the Bug south-east of Cholm, and by the Ger- mans, under General von Scholz and von Gallwitz, who have crossed the Narew. At the north-eastern end of the line the Russian cohununications are fur- ther threatened by Gen. von Buelow, who is advancing toward Dvinsk on the Vilna-Petrograd railway. Indeed, the Austro-Germans have set three traps to catch and destroy the Rus- sian army. None of them was sprung, but one was so near to clos- ing that the Grand Duke Nicholas was forced to evacuate Warsaw and now is fighting with all his might to prevent the others from cutting off his retreat. FRIGHTFUL LOSSES OF THE WAR A despatch from Paris says: The losses of Europe in the war up to May 31, as compiled by the French Ministry of War, are as follows: Nations. Killed. Wounded. Prisoners. Total. France 460,000 660,000 180,000 1,300,000 England 181,000 220.000 90,000 471,000 Belgium 49,000 49,000 15,000 113,000 Russia 1,250,000 1,680,000 850,000 3,780.000 Germany 1,630,000 1,880,000 490,000 4,000,000 Austria 1,610,000 1,865,000 910,000 4,385,000 Turkey 110,000 144,000 95,000 349,000 Totals 5,290,000 6,478,000 2,630,000 14,398,000 This table was prepared for publication early in June, but was withheld because the French authorities feared the enormity of the figures might have a bad moral effect on the p«ople. HEHsHTS m f •â- â€"a 56 f^OCHi •• •• ♦♦♦♦♦-♦•< Proposal Was Sent to Czar Nicholas Through the King of Denmark A despatch from Petrograd says: There is good rea:son to believe that within the past week the Kaiser has proposed peace to RnsTJa. The Bourse Gazette says that an overture has been made to the Czar through the King of Denmark. Needless to say, Russia emphatically declined to con- sider the offer. To the faUore of the German mili- tary power to envelop Russia's Vis- tula armies there has been added, therefore, the failure of her diplo- macy to detach Russia from the Russia every day is putting herself better into shape for beginning the war over again and carrying it this time to a successful conclusion. Thq Government has conceded the right of free speech to the members of the Dtuna, and has allowed the leaders at industry to take part in the reorgani- zation which is required to produce what the army needs. The Ministers are urged to go • step further by releasing workmen from certain restrictions heretofore in force and associating them with the great national task of regenera- . tion. 900 ENEMY VESSELS HAVE BEEN SUNK Among the Number Lost Have Been Seven L^rge Steamers and a Dozen Sailing Ships A despatch from Petrograd says: Russian destroyers in the Black Sea continue their devastating work upon the flotilla carrying supplies for Con- stantinople. Altogether over 900 en- emy vessels have been burnt or sunk since the begrinning of the war, among the number being several large steam- ers and a dozen sailing ships of a thousand tons each. Most of the ves- sels were, of course, small coasting ' craft, which counted on their insif- ' nificance to escape the vigilance of the Russian scout boats. Some were sunk at sea, but the majority were burnt at anchor or within easy reach of shore. Care has been taken also to destroy all boat building yards alons the coast so that this small vessel trade upon which Constantinople is largrely dependent for the necessariee of life may safely be regarded aa having been extinguished.

CANADA TO HAVE 40,000 IN FIELD Full Army Corps Soon Will Be Maintained on the Flanders Front. A despatch from Ottawa says: That Canada will have a full army corps in the field to be commanded by General .-Vlderson, with Generals Cur- rie and Turner in charge of the two divisions composing it, is the under- standing in British military circles, according to the statement of Hon. Col. McBain, who was in Ottawa after his return from the other side on offi- cial business. It is understood that the first divi- •ion, which is still in France in a depleted condition after the St. Julien and Festubert fighting, will be brought up to strength by reinforce- ments, and with the second division, which is still in England, will form an army corps which is to take the field during the coming autumn. The re- inforcements necessary to keep an army corps of 40,000 men up to strength will be heavy, and explain the urgent present call for more re- cruits. -•Vccording to Col. McBain, the allies are making thorough preparations to meet and repel another German offen- sive in the west, where it is expected very shortly. That the Zeppelin menace has been exploded and that the submarine peril was if anything less of a danger than when the paper blockade was inau- { gurated, was Col. McBain's state- j ment. The British navy was gener- , ally understooil to be making good | progress on the undersea boats, he \ said, and it was currently reported : that up to date fourteen of them had been damaged. 1^ Gen. Von Bissing Recalled. A despatch from .A.msterdam says: .\ccording to the Echo Beige, the re- call of Gen. von Bissing, the German Governor of Belgium, has been de- â-  cided on by Emperor William.
