LARGEST CONFLICT
SINCE WAR BEGAN
Germans Capture 10000 PIIs-
oners and All Artillery.

Washington, Sept. 2.-The greatest
battle yet fought In the war in Eu-
rope is indicated In the official dis
patches from Berlin that tell of the
capture by the Germans of 10000
Russian prisoners at Allenstein.
American military experts declare.
The victory was announced by the
German embassy, which received q
wireless message from Berlin. The
capture was made near Allenstein
and included two commanding gener-
ais, 800 officers and the entire equip
ment of Russian artillery, the mes
sage said.
Observers pointed out that II the
number of Russians taken prisoners
has been estimated correctly at 10000
there must have been great casual
ties, Of which no mention is made.
Dispatches from Copenhagen also
reported the capture Of the prisoners,
quoting the German general STAFF as
locating the incident at Gilgenburg.
Gilgenburg is In East Prussia, south
west of Koenigsberg and not far from
Allenstein. ..~ .. -s
The official statement given out
conflicts 10 some extent with the one
issued by the French embassy which
speaks of the progress OF the Russian
offensive army. The official assertion
Of the Germans, however, that 10000
Russians were captured exceeds in
magnitude any operation thus far re-
corded.

PROMOTERS OF PLAYH0USES
FAVOR NATIONAL. CIRCUIT
Good Work Of Lester A. Walton at the
Lafayette Noted.

New York.-Active plans are afoot
to form circuit Of colored theaters
throughout the United States with the
Lafayette in this city as the keystone
OF the proposed chain. Beginning with
New York the circuit would embrace
playhouses in Philadelphia. Baltimore.
Washington. Richmond. Norfolk, Mem
phis, Nashville. Atlanta, New Orleans,
Jacksonville (Fia.), Pittsburgh, Colum.
bus. indianapolis. Chicago. st. Louis
and Kansas City.
At this time the plans are Of q ten
tative nature. although more tangible
developments are expected before the
inaugural of another season. For a
long time there has been talk Of q
colored circuit, but something always
bobbed up to keep 1t from becoming a
reality.
The interest Is at fever point now
and with the right kind Of influence
back Of the movement there should be
something doing before long. There
are plenty Of theaters available for the
cuimination OF the project and sufii-
cient colored population in the cities
mentioned to give the proper paying
patronage.
Just what the policy will be is a
matter for future development 1t
would probably be half week Of vau-
deville. with travelling combinations
booked in the remainder Of the week.
II the circuit materializes there will be
great rejoicing among the numerous
colored actors and players who are
forced to remain idle half Of the play
ing season.

Notable Victory.

Notable Victory.
Paris, via London, Sept "A Rome
dispatch to the Temps says the Rus
sian victory over the Austrians on
the Galician side was brilliant, the
right wing Of the Austrian army hav-
ing been decisively turned and cut to
pieces, leaving $4,000 prisoners in the
hands of the victors. ~a'
On the Vistula front, when the Rus
SLAMS encountered the left wing, the
result was somewhat uncertain, but
the arrival of important reinforce
ments enabled the Russians to take a
vigorous offensive and repulse the
enemy. They captured large num-
ber of pieces of artillery.
The Russians, the dispatch adds, ex-
ecuted many bayonet charges against
the Austrians, which had a large
share in deciding the issue of the bat
tie. Elsewhere the Germans. endeav-
oring to effect junction with the
Austrians, sought to meet the Russian
attack with counter offensive, but
were repulsed with losses.
