to the city Monday after an absence Of
over two months and opened a two
weeks engagement at the City Opera
house. With an entire new repertoire Of
songs, sketches and Jokes the show is
sven better than when it first appeared
in the late fall A complete renovation
has added many new and novel feat
ures to the program. The comedians are
as funny as ever before and have new
line Of jokes and talk, amusing and
laughable. The vocal solos are all well
rendered and those who remember the
chorus work cannot help but recalling
it as some Of the best seen on the local
stage for a long time. The selection Of
photo plays is unusually good. Mary

in all the show is a nightly good one

Petrograd, via London, Feb. 1-(5.40 A.
MA Russian general who is an aide
de-camp to Emperor Nicholas and is
necessarily nameless. gave an Associat-
ed Press correspondent today the Rus
sian viewpoint Of the military situation.
The aide-de-camp had just returned from
inspecting the Russian forces at all the
fronts except in the Caucasus. He said:
Troops Stronger
''Today's exactly a half year since the
beginning of the war. our second line
OF troops Is greater and our entire ar
mics are much stronger. The men are
more hardened and physically and NOR
ally more ready.
1.-THE enemy's territory has been occu-
pied in east Prussian and Galicia to
greater extent than our most optimistic
expectations, while the Germans are &C.
cupying practically the SAME lines as at
the outset of the war. The distance be-
tween the Bzura river and the German
frontier, though greater in miles than
between Sochaczew and Warsaw, is
strategically much less important for the
reason that there are no fortified posi-
tons between the Bzura and Germany.
while the last three months, during which
the Germans have been occupied in vain
attempts to advance, have been probably
used by us to fortify the line from Nowo
Georgiewsk to Warsaw and 1vangorod,
which line is now practically impreg-
nable.
In East Galicia
1.-THE territory occupied by us in east
Galicia is now part and parcel of the
empire. Lemberg and vicinity are we'll
fortified and the population is we'll sat
isfied with the new state of things. In
the Carpathians the Austrians have been
weakened by recent defeats and the Ger
