HAMLET WAS THEME
 OF WARDE'S LECTURE
Large Audience Delighted With Popular Actors Comments
 and Recitation

Frederick Warde. the distinguished and popular actor and Shakespearean lec- turer appeared in the Lyceum course at the High school auditorium last night in what was delightful An Evening With
 Hamlet" Illuminating comments there
 were but the entertainment was made up
 for the most part of recitations from
 the great tragedy. given in histrionic
 style.
 MT. Warde made it plain at the outset
 that he took little stock in the commen-
 tators who tried to read into Shake speares plays meanings that the author never intended. He thought the best way to enjoy Hamlet, or any other of the tragedies, was to take the words in their ordinary meaning.
 After a brief introduction Mir. Warde began to recite, and in the course oi two hours gave not only the soliloquies and nearly all the speeches of Hamlet but such speeches of other characters as were essential to the unity of action. He was in excellent form and his declama. ton was really acting, which was faI
 more satisfying than any mere recital lecture would have been. It was a charm ing affair, and the large audience was eager in it's attention and generous witf 1 it's applause.

GERMANY

Berlin, February 10.-(Via London, February Il, 12:45 a. m.)-Berlin is looking for important developments in the east. Rumors say that the hour of big victory is at hand.
 There is reason to believe the Ger mans are in sufficient force to attempt a decisive stroke at chosen point. The Emperor and General Von Talk enhayn chief of staff, have returned to Berlin from a visit of inspection to the east fronts.
 Major Moraht, military critic of the Tageblatt, speaks of an impending de- cisive battle in the east. He expects that an attempt will be made to break the Russian lines and cross the Wis., tula, and discusses the possible length of time Warsaw will hold out after that, although it is not clear that the German commanders lay decisive weigth on the immediate possession of the city and fortress. In case of success the Austrian military repre- sentative here Is confident that Prze- ond time
 East Prussia and north of the Wis., tula, which for months have remained on a strategic defensive, have been strengthened, and that a fairly general engagement already is in progress.
