II has been said that it is almost impos-
sIble for a newspaperman to put across
a play in New York and not have his
brain-child numerically panned by the
critics. Louis Sherwin. dramatic editor OF
the Globe. asked Bayard WELLER who
was the author Of a current play in the
lobby on opening night Veiier said
Why he's a newspaper man. Now go to
1.-THE whole pack Of you just roast him
to a brown"
There is. unfortunately, a good deal of
truth in the accusation. It may not be
done deliberately, but it is done just the
same. Newspaper men. and the critics,
too. are charter members of the I-Knew-
HimWhen Club. They remember such
and-such a person when he chased the
festive item on The Podunk Clarion. In
fact there was a city editor in San Fran
cisco who boasted for years that he re-
fused to give Kipling a job. 1t is his only
distinction.
On the other hand, the American play
is being produced mostly by ex-journal-
lists, as for instance. Thompson Buchan-
an. Bayard WELLER, Eugene Walter.
George Broadhurst, A. Z. Thomas. Au-
Gustus Thomas, Chaning Pollock, Rem
mold Wolf. and George Bronson Howard.
Henry c. Frick's new 100000 home
in Fifth avenue near Seventy-first street
is now occupied Frick erected the home
on the old site Of the Lennox Library,
for which he paid s., 10000 in 1906. Only
three members of the Frick family will
occupy the huge house-Mr and Mrs.
Frick and their daughter, Miss Helen
Clay Frick
The new house rises only three stories
above the street and followed out Frick's
ideas. based upon his purpose Of giving
the structure upon his death to the city
as museum.
Thirteen horse chestnut trees were
transplanted a year ago from German
town, Pa. to the Fifth avenue side Of the
Frick home. All of the trees were more
than thirty years old.
Dancing for the kiddies is to be revived!

Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney, Mrs. w.

 LONDON, Dec. 7.-After long battle fought with the greatest of stubborness the Germans have sue ceeded occupying Lodz in Poland which is an unfortifed city Accord. ing to Berlin the Russians suffered Severe losses In retreat
 Germans success is considered remarkable feat by military experts. Less than fortnight ago the victor ious German army was surrounded by the Russians and forced to cut it's way out only at the last moment los ing great numbers of men and numer. ous guns. Vet it was able within a few days to reoreanize, take the of- fensive and defeat the Russians de. lending Lodz. This was made possible by a net work of strategic railways on the German side of the frontier over which endorsements will be sent where needed.
 The Russians on the other hand vigorously attacked on both wings were unable to send fresh men to stiffen their center to meet the Ger man wedge and were compelled to pu tl ' There wiu undont lly be muclI u..e lighting before the cam. paign in this district is concluded Lodz was won only after hand to hand fighting in citv's suburbs and the whole Russian line from north to south is now straighteued out and will contest every foot of ground with the invaders.
 Meantime taking advantage of the pre-occupation Of the Germans in the east the Allied French, Belgian and British forces have begun an offensive movement in the west They are now virtually in possession of the left bank of the Ypres canal and in north ern France, particularly in the neigh borhood Of Labasse. where the Ger mans hold a very strong position the Allies are beginning 10 feel their way eastward with a heavy cannouade.
