MAY HAVE TWO ARMIES
 ADVANCE ALONG vISTULA

The German plan seems to be to have two armies advance along the left bank of the Vistula river while two other armies swing around on the right bank to take the defenders of Warsaw on their flank. This. according to Russian accounts suits the Russian general staff. who are said purposely to have withdrawn to the Vistula so that they would have the railways at their back while the Austro-German forces would have to advance great distances on roads which at this time of the year are little more than quagmires
 Both sides claim to have gained ad- vantages in the preliminary fighting. but these victories and defeats can have little effect on the general result of the battle in which 1t Is estimated near ly 6,00O,000 men are engaged. The Rus sians, it is said, have two and half million men and the Austro-Gernian Soros b declared to total nearly two

million. The armies cover a front c nearly 300 miles.
 Prussian Frontier Rattle Caasos


 The battle on the East Prussian from tier has ceased. The two armies are racing each other across the border, both doubtless being satisfied to re- main where they are until the chief battle in Poland is decided. This may not be for months, although the Ger mans, it Is said, will attempt to gain quick victory to release their troops Tor the western campaign.
 One more keel has to be added to the British naval losses in the war. the cruiser Hawke having been sunk by German submarine in northern waters yesterday. As in the case of the ships which the Germans have destroyed by means of submarines only a few of her crew escaped. The Hawke. like the Aboukir Greasy and Hogue, three oth- CT cruisers which have met the same fate. was Chatham ship, so that town again is in mourning.
 The cruiser Thesus, which also was attacked by the same submarine that sunk the Hawke, obeyed the Spartan but necessary instructions issued by the admiralty when so many lives were lost through the Greasy and Hogue go- ing to the assistance of tho Aboukir when the latter was torpedoed. and turned away from the perishing crew of the Hawke
 Submarine Escapes
 Of the ill-fated vessels crew three petty officers and 49 men are reported to have been rescued by trawler while one officer and 20 men are said to have escaped on a raft. The Hawke Is believed to have had on board crew of 400 men. The submarine which sank her is supposed to have escaped.
 Nothing further has been heard of the movements of the Russian and Turkish fleets in the Black sea. Con- stantinople denies report, which never extended beyond that city, to the effect that the former German cruiser Breslau, which now flies the Turkish flag, has been sunk.
 The last of the Belgian wounded. who total 13,000 have reached England and the flow of refugees also has ceased except for some who are com ing from Holland and French ports. No satisfactory arrangement has been made for returnst ztheir homes of those Belgians who crossed the from tier into Holland although the Germans are striving to induce them to do so.

 wagon skidded on the Tidewater cal tracks at Fifth avenue and Eighteenth street at 12:07 o'clock this morning the body of the wagon, loaded with long circus poles swung directly in the path of a westbound Tidewater car and in the collision J.

 The circus wagon driven by J. w. Vim, aged 45 years, who lives in Raleigh, N C., and has been in the circus business for the last 20 years, was coming east on Fifth avenue and on the right hand side, but driving partly on the same track the car was on. Seeing the car headed at him Driver Vim snapped his whip and guided his six horses further to the right The wheels, of the heavy wagon skidded on the slippery rails and the rear of the wagon swung directly in the path of the street car and in a moment there was loud crash of breaking glass and screams of men and women. Vim was hurled from his seat to the street and was picked up badly bruised. He was inn mediately taken to St. Vincent's hospital in the police emergency car and 1t was stated after an examination of his i'm juries that he would recover.
 The front of the Tidewater car was damaged as was the circus wagon. The wagon was repaired by other employees of the circus who were quickly on the scene.

SOCIAL NOTES

According to the best authorities on
beauty-noted painters. sculptors and
great millinery and dressmaking es-
adjustments that employ women for
their beauty as models on which to
show off their fabrics and latest crea-
tions for the fashionable world-beau-
tiful women are becoming rarer every
year. 1t is claimed that only one wo-
man in a thousand can be called beau
tiful and only one in 100 can make any
claims to being really pretty.
The head of a noted millinery estab-
young women who had answered an
advertisement of his for a woman upon
whom to display new creations in hats,
only one had been found that he could
call beautiful. A London woman's
tailoring establishment offered some
pense, by the year twelve young wo-
men whom it's tart manager" would
style beautiful. Eight hundred young
women called at the establishment and
only two were retained.
What beautiful women yet remain to
Tighten the gloom of this prosaic ex-
istence are not confined to any country
In particular, yet out OF a thousand
handsome women from each of the Ave
European capitals-London, Paris, Ber-
lin, Rome and Madrid-whose photo
graphs and descriptions OF whose
charms were obtained at much expense
and trouble by a Partisan fashion plate
illustrating company, the ayerage
be nearer in face and form the perfect
woman than any of the others. The
English woman, however,, was found to
retain her youthful appearance longer
from the stylish point of view, was
considered pre-eminently the leader,
hut her complexion was not to be COM
pared with that of her German sister
