as a result of which some 90.000 ac
res of land were rendered subject to
settlement and disposal under the
public land laws.
This action was due largely to the
requirement that each Indian allottee
should present a certificate of the In
dian office to the effect that he is an
Indian entitled to an allotment under
the law.

WARSAW FALLS

United PrcsR. Warttow was captured hy the Hermans this
morning. After having tried for three wWks to force the Rus
sians to evacuate Warsaw and Ihe Polish salient hy encircling
movements from the north and pressure from the west, the
Austro-Germans have captured Warsaw. Attacks were Matt
ed yesterday on the fortresses of the capital and those of Loin
za and Ostrolenka, to the northeast, and Ivangorod 1o the
southeast. The Russian armies are believed to have made
their escape intact.
MAY INTERVENE IN MEXICO
Washington, August 5 Intervention in Mexico is expect
ed soon. It is the opinion here that the conference held today
between the representatives of -Bolivia, Uruguay and Guata
mala and the United States would result in the approval of a
plan to send General Hugh L. Scott, chief of staff, to Mexico"
with plenary powers. The first step will probably be the is
suance of a final appeal to the warring Mexican leaders to end
their troubles. The refusal of any loader will probably result
in an arms embargo against that leader. Unusual activity in
the war and navy departments was evident today and an order
was given for a battery of the Fifth field artillery to proceed to
El Paso.
