BAVIS IS AGAINST NAMING INSPECTOR Wisdom of appointing an inspector to examine ditches, trenches and excavations made in the streets by public utilities to see that they are placed in good condition is doubted by Alfred BaviB, president of the board of public works. Mr. Bavis said he believed it would be possible for a member of the board to handle the work with the asistance afforded by the record of permits which is kept at the city engineer's office. The corporations he said would only be required under their agreement to pay for the inspection and repair of excavations which gave way within a year from the time they were made. The city, he said, would have to meet the cost of inspecting and repairing all other holes. Cost of inspection would be saved if this work were done by a member of the works board. If other work could be arranged conveniently Mr. Bavis said he would willingly take charge of such inspection and repair work himself.

TEUTONIC ALLIES APPROACHING GOAL PETROGRAD, July 21. Emperor Nicholas has gone to the front in Poland, it was off icially announced today. The departure of the Czar at this time is believed to indicate that the Russian general staff regards the conflict now being waged as the climax of the campaign.

KAISER DIRECTS THREE GIGANTIC ARMIES. BERLIN, July 21. The mighty battle between the AustroGerman armies and the Russians for the possession of Warsaw Is now in its decisive stage. Emperor William is already upon the eastern front where he is assisting in the direction of the three gigantic armies under Field Marshal von Hindenberg, Field Marshal von Mackensen and General von Buelow. Surging forward with irresistible force, the three armies that are taking part in the Warsaw drive are breaking down, one by one, the barriers defending the Polish capital. The defenses at Ostrolenka, on the Nerow river, sixty miles northeast of Warsaw, have been shattered. Piercing the Russian lines that have held them in check since December, on the Rawka and Bzura rivers, the Germans have pushed on to Blonie, only fifteen miles west of Warsaw, and occupied the town. This puts them within easy artillery range of the city itself. The Blonie line has always been regarded by military authorities as the final line of defense for Warsaw.
