tion of a great" Russian vlotory is
denied them. They take some consolation
la that the German attempt
to pierce the Russian lines has failed,
and that, - suffering from heavy
losses, the Germans are compelled to
weaken their armies elsewhere.
The Russian report last night says
the fighting has lost some of its violence
and Indicates some, progress
for Russian troops south of Lodz. It!
is unofficially reportod that the Russians
are nearly in Cracow."
While there is every* indication
that another big battle is Immlnen#
in the west there is no evidence that
it actually has begun. There has
been fighting in Flanders, but this
doubtless is,the result of the allies'
attempt to take advanced positions.
There also are reports that the Germans
have evacuated several villages
on the Tser canal and are concentrating
on new positions.
The British have taken over command
of the Yger region, and, like
the French, have heed strongly reinforced.
It is believed that on the
first sign of a German movement to
the east in considerable force, She
allies will take the offensive in the
west.

Love, romance, Intrigue, humor,

hat enter into tho beautiful story of
Neptune's Daughtor," in which Antetto
Kellermann. tho most perfectly
ormed woman in %the world, will be
een at thd New Theatro Friday and
taturday.
The impression made upon th^ relepwrs
when the massave production
ras on view for more tffan a yefcr
t the Globe Theatre, New York, 1?
est told by quoting from some of
he eulogists -who pronounced it unurpassed.
"Annette Kellermann
rorks film wonders. These picture;
re out of the prdlmrfy and are
poch making," the New Y-ork
;un critic wrote. "Something new
n film entertainment. Splendid erects
follow each other in a way that
8 dazrling," tho Tribune relates.
'Annette Kellermann in 'Neptune';
>aughter' appeals to every movie
an," said the World. "It is an
riginal and diverting fantasy of the
ca and Miss Kellermann is a real
r.ormald," the Herald said. "The
ictures are startlingly beautiful and
Use Kellermann is even more fascllatlng
than on tho stage," the Mall
eclted. "In a single feature Anlette
^Hermann wins greater popuarlty
as a dim artist than that which
vas hers as a vaudeville star," thf
Telegraph pronounced: "The most
>r!U!antly effective screen produclon
ever* projeted, whether in thi?
ountry or in Europe," was tho vcr
lict of the Star.
So great was the popular demand
