MAKING THE MOST OF THEIR SUCCESS.

j HIGHLY-COLORED GEL MAN YEW SEA FEE STORIES. | —— HOW THE DEFENCES WERE “CARRIED.” GERMAN PRESS SURE OF VICTORY. (Received August 9, 10.20 p.m.) AMSTERDAM, August 0. The “Kolnische Zeitung,” a German newspaper, says: ‘‘We are so sure of victory that we shrug- our shoulders at the enemy’s fantastic lies. The Allies can neither succeed in taking the Dardanelles nor in forcing back the Germans on the east.or west , fronts. _ The Germans will not retire until the conclusion of . diplomatic negotiations upon the fate of Belgium and Poland i and the German colonies. German merchants shall emerge asf?; triumphantly as our soldiers and our mercantile fleet shall again sail proudly. There shall be miserly lamentation in the enemy's countries.” " Correspondents of Berlin papers, describing tiro fall of Warsaw, state: For two days our guns bombarded the "fortifications and the bombardment grew more intense on Wednesday night, the whole of the Army’s field artillery participating. The Russians failed to stem the advance and at midninht evacuated the outermost fortress. The Wurtemburgers, Saxons and Prussians attacked eight other fortresses, rushing across the soaked trenches. There was a violent struggle on the entire front and the Russians gradually fell back on Prana. Warsaw suffered little from the bombardment. The first general entering was immediately appointed Governor. The “Berliner Tageblatt” says : “ When the main, flight from Warsaw ended, a ghastly silence reigned, broken only lv the thunder of cannon. Many of the streets are barricaded and only the Red Cross sisters and members of ihe Civil Guard can be seen. Above there is the hum of German aeroplanes. The lire brigade is hurrying to every quarter extinguishing* fires. Executions are daily conducted at the citadel and death sentences are placarded wholesale. A mob plundered empty houses and factories. The secret police are busy in every* corner. Thousands of waggons piled with wounded.* whose groans were awful, have quitted the city. The terror of ihe night was heightened by the bursting of star shells.
