this element contributes n degree of
effectiveness to which the public at
once responds gratefully. When the
methods of the best masters of Sardou's

applied to material which is OF no in

And they should be applied not in the
manner which made them successful a

with the methods Of the time.

ent of the staff of the Lokal Anzeiger
has sent telegram to his paper from
the eastern theater of war. His mes
sage is dated August "a and says:
while from the west comes news of
a victorious advance something similar
has been prepared here. The Russians
were defeated at Stallupoehnen "a
town of East Prussia, 16 miles to the
east of Gambinnen) on August 21 and
%. The returning wounded of the cav
airy division, say the Russians, were
greatly superior numerically. They
had at least two divisions of cavalry
and their infantry was stronger. Cav
airy charges were frequent. The Rus
sian infantry shot badly. They sighted
their rifles for 1000 metres when they
were at close quarters which occurred
frequently
