German General Staff Says the
Situation Along West Front
Is Still Favorable En
courages the People.
INTEREST IN ADVANCE
OF SIBERIAN CORPS
Impatience of Public at Lack
of News Causes General
Staff to Change its Pub
licity Practice.
Berlin, Sept. 16. (Via Copenhagen
and London) The German general
staff announces that the situation on
the west front is still' "favorable." It
declared that the French and English
have at no place on the whole battle
front won a victory and that the
Germans can look with confidence to
the outcome.
Other than this no news is obtain
able regarding the progress of opera
tions. The public has been showing
Impatience because of absence of
news from the front and this has led
headquarters to depart from its prac
tice and issue reassuring statements
In general terms. The fact that the
Siberian corps is advancing is noted
here with interest because the ad
vance of this corps must have tieen
accomplished with extraordinary Ta
pidity to enable it to arrive in Eu
rope within six weeks after the Rus
sian mobilization order was issued.
No detailed account of the sinking
of the cruiser Hela was given out. It
was merely stated that 172 of 181
members of the crew were saved by1
German ships in the vicinity.
Among those lost in the previous
battle near Helgoland were Admiral
Maas, commander of the second
scouting division, and Baron von
Maltzohn, navigation officer of the
cruiser Koeln, who served a long
time on the cruiser Bremen while she
was on the American station.
Commander von Reitzmann, form
erly naval attache at Washington,
commanded the cruiser Strashurg.
Hundreds of British subjects, prin
cipally women and girls, gathered at
the American embassy yesterday to
arrange for their return to England
which is now permitted to women,
children and boys under 16. The em
bassy has arranged for special trains
for them on September 21.
In the play entitled "Today" by
George Broadhurst, which comes to
the Auditorium on next Tuesday ev
ening, the stage takes a hand In the
rapidly spreading arraignment of
American women because of their ex
travagant tastes In clothes.
The play Is the story of a woman,
Lily Wagner, whose husband has fail
ed hi business. From the luxuriously
appointed menage he has provided
for her she is forced to remove to a
modest flat In Harlem. For a year she
endures the change not without In
ward dissatisfaction, but at least
without any active opposition until
one afternoon, while In an unusually
bitter and morbid state of mind, she
receives a visit from a friend of for
mer days.
The latter (Mrs. Garland) Is richly
gowned, and exudes an air of plenty
and well being. She sympathises
openly with the wife's misfortune; but
naturally, her words of consolation
only serve to feed the fires of discon
tent smouldering within the wife,
who feels that her rights have been
taken away by a husband who "does
not understand." How the seeds of
temptation are planted In her mind Is
revealed by the conversation which
follows:
Mrs. Garland Lily, our men are
the cleverest and brainiest In the
world and yet their wives fool them
and lie to them, and get away with
it in a way that's simply incredible.
My dear. If the dressmakers and mil
liners in this town were to tell one
tenth of what they know, there would
he such a social earthquake that even
Liberty, being a woman would feel
it I know you don't understand, be
cause until recently your husband has
given you everything you wanted. So
long ns a husband can do that, and
does it, there's generally no trouble.
But If he does not! That Is where the
dressmakers and milliners come In.
Many a husband begrudges his wife
a five dollar bill to spend as she
pleases, who doesn't care what she
spends for gowns and things. It isn't
because he wants her to have them.
Oh, no! It's for the same reason that
he has expensive harness on his
horses; and because he thinks that
clothes and jewels show how liberal
and prosperous he is. Of course, the
man won't admit this, he'd rave if
you even suggested it to him. but, be
lieve me. it's the truth Just the same.
Lily: But if her husband won't
give her any money, how can she
get It?
Mrs. Garland: She buys a gown for
one hundred and fifty dollars; the
dressmaker puts it on the hill nt two
hundred, and when hubby pnys. the
dressmaker hands Madame Customer
fifty dollars in cash. Simple, Isn't It?
Xow, take the other kind of husband.
the one who won't give the wife what
she wants. She buys the one hundred
and fitfy dollar gown and has it put
on the bill at fifty.
Lily: But Marion, even if the wo
man makes her husband think her
gown cost only fifty dollars instead of
one hundred and fifty, she still has
to pay the other hundred. Where does
she get It?
Mrs. Garland: Ah! Th .t Is the
point of the entire story.
And r the point is that, by meeting
men at a maison de rendezvous Lily
can get "the other hundred." When
it is made clear to her she is horri
fied. She finds it impossible to be
lieve that women who would . do
such things really exist. Suddenly she
Inquires how Mrs. Garand knows all
this and to her astonishment learns
that her friend gets all her beautiful
clothes by this very means. Disgusted
beyond expression, she sends her
friend away. :
