Unknown City in Poland--possibly Warsaw?

Seeking information on Maz Zygmint and Walerya OURSIK (Owsik and variations). Zygmunt was born 01 May 1881 (per tombstone) and died 29 Dec 1943 in Baltimore, MD. He married Zona Walerya (Valaria) UNK, ca. 1904 in Poland. Zona Walerya (Valaria) was born ca. 1890 in Russia Poland and died 07 Nov 1947 in Baltimore, MD. Zona and Maz are buried at the Holy Rosery Cemetery in Dundalk, MD.

This couple emigrated to the US on 7/11/1907 from Bremen, GER aboard the SS Hanover. They entered the US at Baltimore, MD on 7/27/1907.

This is what I have gathered from the ship's manifest:

Zygmunt and Walerya OURSIK departed from Bremen, Germany on 7/11/1907. With them was a Zoloslaw (Boloslaw?) Oursik, age 20 and a farm laborer.

Under space 6 (Calling or Occupation), Zygumnt is a farm laborer. Under space 8 (Nationality-Country of which citizen or subject), is Russia.
Under space 9 (race), it lists Polish.
Under space 10 (Last Permanent Address), it lists Russia and what looks like LICLCE/LILLCE. Not sure what it says.
Under space 11 (The name or nearest friend or relative in country whence alien came from), it lists "Father: Kosos?u?y Oursik", Sillce? [some symbol and possibly the Russian for Warsaw--first letters War or Was], Russia.
Under space 12 (Final Destination), it states Md, Baltimore.

Does anyone know of what location they may have been born or located in before coming to the US? Since I can't read the handwriting of the person making out the ship's manifest, I'm unsure of what this man is writing. Does anyone have any ideas? And, if so, where would I now find this city?

Sincerely,
