TRIBUTE
Is Paid by the Russians to Ger
man ArtilIerymen in Ac-
count of Incident.

4 Correspondence Of Associated Press.)
PETROGRAD. Feb. Tribute Is
paid to the German artillerymen in
en- account OF minor incident dur
ing the fighting west Of Warsaw.
, ,rhe Russians were on the defen-
sIve, with the Germans opening up q
wide attack on their positions. A Ger
man battery Of six guns was moved
out into the open field to she'll the
Russian trenches.
Very coolly the German artillery
men went about their work, although
they must have known that we would
soon make it hot for them. Our OBJ
servers soon got their range and the
third shell fred from our batteries on
the left destroyed three of the Ger
man guns, killing fully half OF the
entire German force of artillerymen.
The others sought shelter, but quick
ly returned and brought the remain
ing three guns into action against
our trenches again.
They had only time to fire two
rounds when another shell from our
battery smashed two more guns, de-
stroying their crews.
But those artillerymen had been
given their orders, and their bravery
was dauntless. The survivors, after
a short interval, returned to their
single remaining gun, and kept 1t go-
ing until another Russian she'll laid 1t
low

= LONDON; Feb. 5-Notwithstand-
ing that financial traisactions invoiv-
ing about twenty million sterling
were recently arranged between the
British and Russian governments in
order TO assist trade and loosen the
Perograd exchange On London. the
latter still stands at the high rate Of

roubles per ten pounds. and is caus-
ing much embarrassment and some
anxiety in business circles.
The two great outlets for Russian
trade, the Baltic and Black sea.
being closed at the same time are
mainly responsible for this. British
trade with Russia Is thereby brought
to a standstill and exporters are un-
able to obtain remittance for goods
sold before the war. The Association

Newcastle chamber Is making rep
resentation inrthe same direction in
order to get the government to do

THE 0RPHEUM
Representative of Film Com.
pany SaysSlt is One of the
Country's Best.

1t is seldom that Clarksburg is vis-
tied by any of the special represents
tives from the Aim manufacturing
concerns. Jack Marks, OF the Orphe-,
UNI theater. however, has Just been
visited by A. Dresner, special repre-
sentative for the Universal Film
Manufacturing Company. who after
giving the orpheum the s.once over.
declared that It was. In his estima-
tion, one of the finest theaters in the
country.
Mr.. Dresner's trip takes him
through all the large cities and when
he openly makes a statement Of tn 81
kind 1t generally has some founda-
lion. When asked in what way he
considered 1t of the best theaters he
had. seen, he started by saying that
the average moving picture patron
can use his own opinion as to the
front and interior Of any theater, In
which case the Orpheum theater is
very attractive, but the movies fans
of Clarksburg must appreciate the
elegant arrangements that Mr.. Marks
boasts of.
In the first place 1t would require a
full page to mention the wonderful.
yentilating system installed at an
enormous expense. Secondly, the
pictures are projected by two Of the
very latest moving picture machines
on a specially prepared curtain or
screen, and the latter is to undergo
some changes. Third, Mr.. Marks rs
to be highly complimented on the
care exercised in the. seating Of his
patrons. Ladies unaccompanied are
treated with the utmost courtesy and
are cared for in such a way that to
witness performance makes it al
pleasure at all times. The same APP
plies to men.
All in all. Mr.. Dresner was not
backward in making II plain that the
people Of Clarksburg should consider
themselves fortunate to have such a.
beautiful place Of amusement where
they can be entertained with the
finest kind of pictures properly pro
Jected. Mr.. sDresner leaves Clarks-
burg for Washington; where he will
look over the theaters in the capital

"A perusal of the evidence in its
