Germans in fighting near the : river Bzura, says: " "Three German regiments "were caught with their backs to the river and suflered heavily from the Russian artillery, while the Russian infantry was creeping ever nearer. Their only way to escape was across tbe river, but this attempt was frustrated by the Russian cavalry. Seeing thftr position was hopeless, the whole force, amount ing to two and one-half -. regiments, surrendered." "The Germa attempt to turn the Russian flank at Wielun Pass was expected and checked," says the Times Petrograd correspondent. "The diffi culties of the Russian operations in Poland were enormously aggravated by the havoc the Germans wrought during their retreat from Warsaw. Scene Suggests Earthquake. "A Ruzsky Slovo correspondent, who visited the scene, says it is difficult to find a solitary foot of undamaged rail way roadbed for miles. The. scene, he declares, suggests the visitation of a tremendous . typhoon or earthquake. The devastation of. the country runs from Warsaw to near Kutno, where the destruction becomes less complete. "The commencement of the bombard ment of the Cracow fort bears out tht official Russian reports that the Rus. sians are approaching the fortress front three directions, namely: Miechow; Woiniez and New Sandeo." A third battle front south of the River Warthe, in Russian Poland, is "being developed by the German forces. following their recent reverses in the vicinity of Lodz, which have been con firmed by dependable news, according to a late dispatch from Petrograd. An official report issued at Petro grad tonight says there have been con tinued Russian successes on the Cra cow front, wherein November 32-the Russians took 6000 prisoners. Strength Unknown to Russians. The Germans are reported advancing along this new line from Valioun, and the Petrograd report admits that the strength of the column is unknown there, as the Teutons are being con tinually shifted along the German frontier behind these forces. Battles-on the fronts north of "the Vistula and between the Vistula and Warthe are progressing- violently. In the earlier dispatches no mention regarding the reported surrounding of the Galician stronglsold of Cracow was credited by the general war headquar ters In Petrograd. The last official an nouncement said the Russians were Within 20 miles of that city. Decision Postponed, Says Berlin. Berlin dispatches give the official German report regarding the cam paigns against the Russians, which say that no decision has resulted In the battles in Poland. It is asserted that the Teuton offensive east of Cracow is progressing and that the Germans are holding their own against the Rus sian invasion of East Prussia, but that Russian reinforcements have delayed a decision south of Warsaw. ' General Liebert is declared to be in Berlin and General Tannewitz at the head of his command. An. official re port from Petrograd recently said these officers were prisoners of the Russians. A dispatch from Berlin admits that the Austrians have abandoned some of the Carpathian passes to superior forces of Russians. - Anstrians Give Up Passes. A dispatch from Berlin admits that the Ausrians have abandoned some of the Carpathian passes to superior forces of Russians. The , report says a sortie from Przemysl resulted in the Russians be ing driven out of range of the city. A Reuter official dispatch from Vi enna, coming by way of Amsterdam. says: "The battle in Russian-Poland. In spite of the bitter cold, is belnrr ener getically continued. Our troops have captured several bases of operation ana are progressing, especially toward Woldrom and on both sides of Pilica. Numerous prisoners have been taken. At other places the situation is unchanged." 'The prisoners in the interior of the monarchy number 110,000 men.

It is just after the, good, old doctor has brought neglected, lovable little Gwendolyn back into the realm of dearest fact and she has whispered. "Weil, you pulled me through all right," that we clear our throats, wipe our eyes a bit, rustle from tense posi tions into more comfort and listen amusedly to the precriptlon that is to make the poor little rich girl no long er poor. The play is a thoroughly delightful aiming of satire shafts and a kind ly rebuking and a pointing of the way to .parents who leave their chil dren too much to others. . t Flay Appealing to AIL You might think that it strikes only at the rich, who deliver their Gwendo lyns to the mercies of nurses, tutors, governesses, butlers and maids, but it hits also a lot of parents who havins neither maids nor butlers nor private teachers for their children and. leave them with the neighbors, or let them roam the streets.

And the lesson it teaches is as sweet and wholesome as the bread pills the doctor gives Gwendolyn. The play has all the - qualities of homely realities blended with the gleam and glitter of romantic allegory. Only it is not alle gorical. These dreams of the fever- tossed poor little rich girl seem real child dreams, with none of the uplifted mental writhings of a philosopher. There i3 no pretense at tremendous wit, but they are delightfully humor ous and quaint. Child's Dreams) Staged. . And they are pathetic The story has been reprinted often as the stories of successful plays Invariably are. The poor little rich girl, a child of luxury, overdosed by a sleeping potion at the hands of the "two-faced" nurse, falls Into a delirum, which brings her close into the shadows. The author has brilliantly visualized the fancies of the sick child's mind with the actualities of the sick room and has conjoined the two with imag inative genius. She personifies and makes flesh the human attributes of the father, who is made of money and makes ducks and drakes of his wealth, the mother with a social bee buzzlDg in her bonnet, the governess who Is a snake in the grass, the two-faced nurse, the doctor who rides hobbies, the little bird who is always telling things, the big ears of the butler, who hears everything, and they actually exude life. The doctor as the child sees him is in his riding clothes and rides his hobby, while he snaps his whip and measures her height. The doctor as we see him shakes his thermometer and takes her temperature. And when he pulled her through the window of the Robin Hood barn she has heard of so often, the audience actually sighed its relief, for it was symbolical of the truth that the real doctor was telling her parents that their poor little rich girl would "pull through." We knew, because we had seen that it was des tined to end happily, that father would rid himself of his harness and load of money-making, that mother's social bee would fly away but none of us was prepared for the exquisite satire in having the mimble plumber pick up the bonnet and follow wildly in the trail of society. " Actress Is Brilliant. It is truly a most remarkable play, but a very great deal f its beauty of presentation depends upon Leonie Dana, a brilliant young actress who is l the poor little rich girl.
