seems wo doubt the Russians are re

any expectations the allies may hast

made that the Rusalhas Rave Wei<" rflrlven
from their positions north, of
the Carpathian mountains from Kfoeno
to, ^Eakliesyn, which wonld
indicate that part of the southern
line of rallw In QaMd* sgsln is In ]
the handrf of the Austrian*, and that
Piotrkow and another central Poland
town hnve been stormed, but
silence! s maintained as to north PoK
land, whero the German victory is
said to have been acli'cred.

Amsterdam dispatches serve to c
heighten the confusion by quoting ,
Berlin papers received there today a? h
expressing dlsapointment as ''e Tart J
that no names of battlefields are t

of the fighting are disclosed and that !
no lists are given of the number c- 1
captured guns and prisoners. Soirc
dlsapointment la expressed hero n? j

though the aggregate gains clalmo* ,

t arable advanee in Flanders and lr
the vicinity of Arras, where the al'
liee seemingly are making their
greatest efforts in the belief that
penetration of the Germah lines
would compel a general German re- <
^ tlrement. It is still, however, a n^at- <

I nan of the old school. He was *exI
remely popular, and. beloved by hit
I ontemporarles, most of whom have
long since passed to their reward.
I Major Blount was educated at the
Kl 1st schools of the time, and at ar

The program of motion pictures at
the New Theatre last night was the
best that* Ibis playhouse has put on
for some time.
Tho ninth Installment of "Luclle
Love," the girl of mystery, was the
most exciting Installment of the
series so far. When the name of this
31m goes on the screen one would
think from the great applause that
goes up from the audience that some
great star on the theatrical stag*
had mode their appearance on the
stage. Never has there heen a picture
in this city that has created
such an interest as has the "Lucille

On next Tuesday, the New Theatre
announces that they will start another
grqpt aerial, which ia without

The namo of this new serial is "The
Trey of Hearts," and there will be
two reels every Tuesday night from
