RUSSIANS GENERALS DECIDE TO
BETBEAT FROM CITY OF WARSAW
London, July 30—Advices from
Warsaw state that that city Is in
tlie throes of abandonment ami tluvt
rvocuitirin is e.xjiected hourly, as
tho Germans are Mure the giUts
of the cJty in overwhelming niuii
tn-rs. German aviators are hover
ing ovor the city. Many important
places have bnn dynamited by tlio
ilelMiliTS in preparation for their
dejiarture, apparently determined
that this victor}, for which <«cr
maajr has sacrificed fully 000,000
men ami unlimited treasure, shall
l>© m.ule practically Iwirren of re
sult.
Tlie almost inconceivable magni
tude ot the movement against \Y ar
saw ami the llussiun railroad sys
tem may le partly comprehended
when it i-i stated that the Russians
liavo been holding a great line
from the Gulf of Kiga sweeping
southwestvard, around Wiirsiw,
thence «.ncircliug that city and
stretchir.s; away to the southward to
the tiaLician frontier near Sokal.
Along the this long line there have
Iwn morn than a half million men
lost since the offensive movement
was started. The fighting has
Ihj'b terrific in nearly every sof
ter of it.
The German attack has lieen
made with t-kill. with unlimited mil
itary equipment and a bravery that
reckoned not the cop-t in men and
niatrrial. The Russian resistance
lias becu equally al>le, and main
taii.ed with a stubbornness mover [
excelled.
| Correspondence and official • re
porta from the west agree that Ian- i
guage i3 inadequate to describe the j
ferocity of the fighting that ia in
progress and which has been un- J
der way for several days along the
Naraw riTer, north of Warsaw aad !
along the line of the Lubiin-Chelm j
J railroad, which the Germans are at- i
temoting to seize and against which
they renewed their attacks today. |
At both of those fronts the Rus
sian resistance is shewing the stub
bornness of a stone wall. The Ger-j
I mans have hUTled thousands against
their lines.
The fighting in "progress yester
day and today between Viprz und
Bug rivers ia continuing with all j
tho Btrergth of the two armies be
ing fcxerted.
Th» less of life everywhere is un- |
; paralleled.
Petrogrud, July 30—-The war de-1
partmtnt has determined that fur-1
! ther defense of Warsaw Is foolish,
! and thp Russian army will now re-j
treat to the line of fortresses pre
pared on the original Russian fron
tier, thus shortening their battle j
line bv probably 100 miles and plac
ing ft* forces in positions thorough
ly and "deliberately prepared to re
sist the luvadere.
In the jetrea* the country sur- i
rendered to the Germans will be de
nuded of all resources that would
be of any value to the enemy.

Juneau, July 29—In an interview
with W. P. Lass'this afternoon it
was learned tliat J. Pienpont
Morgan iuterests had bought into
tlie Speel River Project and that
tlia transfer of authority was made
dating his -recent visit to San
Francisco.
As announced by the Empire last
spilng it was the "intention of
Messrs. Kennedy and Lass *o in
stall an initial hydro-electric plant
at Sueel river this summer and to
this end a corporation was formed
in which all outstanding interests
wore offered their full share of tbo
stock.
The matter was then laid before
the department at Washington who
approved the plans as outlined and
granted the corporation a permit to
develop tho power. At the time liti
gation was begun against tho com
pany asking that the entire property
be sold Mr. Kennedy and Air. Lass
were completing final details for
the development of one of the larg
est installations on the Pacific
Cocst. They had already purchased
ten thousand horse'power electrical
machinery and were actively in
vestigating tho supply of iron and
aluminum ores for use in the elec
tric furnaces. *•
-Mr. Lass states that due to the
litigation and opposition of • the
outstanding one-quarter interest,
their plans have been abandoned
And that the machinery and large
generators that had been purchased
for the Speel River Development,
are now stored in San Francisco.
The plans of their associates, as
r presented by the new board of di
rectors, will not be made known un
til after tho arrival of their engi
neer.
Mr. Frank Drum, the newly elect
ed president of the Speel River
Project, is also president of the
Pacific Gas and Electric company,
which is the dominating power com
pany for a large portion of Cali
fornia. This company has a total
liability capitalization of j $77,

ANCHORAGE MAY
CHANGE ITS NAME
While at the new town of An
chorage recently Gov. J. .F A.
Strong said that he would like for
the people 'of that city to change
the name of their growing little city
to something that would have a
I
broat'er meaning than "Anchorage."
: The suggest'on has caused a great
den I of comment, and all classes of
! i>co;>lt> ire becoming interested in a
new iiitme for the newest city in Al
aaka. '
Among the names that have been
suggested are "Matanuska," "Alas
ka City," • "Terminal," "Wood
I row," and "Wilson City."
In a letter to the Cook Inlet Pio
neer, Lieut. Frederick Mears of the
; railroad engineering commission sug
! gested "Matanuska," saying that
! the town that will be established
| at the coal fields could then be
called "Chickaloon."
The letter follows:
I "Following the expressed wish of
| the Governor that a new'name be
given to the town o£ Anchorage,
j 'Matanuska' is suggested as being
appropriate beacause of the geo
' graphical position of the town in re
' latiou to the coal fields.
"This will doubtless be the ship
I ping point for Matanuska coal and
is a name well known throughout
the United States, identifying this
j section of Alaska.
"Th° town in the coal fields
j could be called 'Chlcaloon* and the
] junction could be designated 'Chick
' aloon Junction.'
"If this name meets with approv
j al of the residents, I would be
1 pleasod to suggest it to the pro
per fiuthorities.
"The Cook Inlet Pioneer has
kindly consented to recive votes on
this name and publish the result in
next week's issue.
