LOVES MODEL" AT LYRIC THEATRE IS
 MOST INTERESTING
Deserves Better Name Is Really Attractive Melo
 dramatic Comedy.

The melotlj naatic comedy, Love g Model,' which Cecil Spooner and her popular company are presenting at the Lyric this week is one of the most they have yet appeared.3 The play is 8 splendid fnelodrama filled with thrills and a well carried out mystery envelopes the character of Peggy Moore, portrayed by Miss 5poonef, which is not divulged until the last few moments of the last aot-
 The play itself deals with the ser cret service of France and the spy system during the present var Each character is developed we'll and the interest is maintained at a high pitch until the fall of the curtain. There is plenty of comedy throughout all the scenes. The play is really de- crying of a much stronger name than it bears at present, as Loves Model dces not give a correct interpretation on of the clever and entertaining play which Is behind it.
 Miss Spooner was never more charming or better fitted to the part than Peggy Moore the American girl about whom there is much mystery Pell Trenton as Kirk Fields. the American artist has another clever part in which he has an opportunity to display hero qualities. As Fanchette, a German spy, Miss Monroe, a new member or the cOHlPahy, uCcS e exceptionally clever dramatic work. Robert Lawrence is Mons. Ettiene, tho head of the secret service of Paris, whose mysterious appearance and dis appearances at times frightens the audience.
 Frederick Clayton gives some more of his good work as Alphonse, agent of the secret service and Muriel Val entine makes the most of the part of Clarette in which she appears in the first act Reta Vi11ers produces much laughter in the comedy part of Madame Gastone. Darrell Vinton has the part of Captain Marx, Leo Whalen of the second officer, while George Kelly essays two parts, that of the luggage man and of the first officer.

GORDON PRESENTS
 SERIOUS CHARGES
 CAN'T BACK FEM UP
Superintendent in Frenzied Effort to Land Job For
 Friend, Falls Down.

An unsuccessful attempt upon the part of the administration through Spencer R. Gordon. superintendent Of charities to foist another out-of- town person into. a charities depart ment office, is seen by some astute poHticiano in Gorden's failure to sas- tain charges against pr. John H. Fin negan, emergency hospital surgeon, before the board yesterday.
 During the course of the meeting, greatly to the surprise Of some of the board members, Gordon arose to say tf1ait he believed the time had come when radical action should be taken against physicians who violate the new rive day absence rule of the emergency hospital
 He cited Dr.. Finnegan as having been very derelict since the last meeting of the board, but immediate investigation tended to show that the only time pr. Finnegan had been absent during the period in which the rule has been in effect was yes terday afternoon, and that he still had four and one-half days privilege during the present month.
 y Upon the show down, superinten- dent Gordon took refuge from the rneht that he though the rule had been in effect since the last meet ing, rather than October 1. which. was the concensus of opinion Of the board, was the intention. Ample apologies were made to pr. F'innegan today.
 The matter of the appointment sought for Dr. Daniel J. Griffin, not a resident Of this city. has created much bitter feeling in the depart tneht during the last six months. It recently broke out publicly when pr. resignation as night surgeon unless assured that a local surgeon would procure the job.
 Every effort has been made to get the appointment of pr. Griffin and it Is rumored that the unsubstantiated charge made yesterday against Dr. Finnegan may have been a sequel to the other incident.

THE RUMOR IS In LONDON
THAT WARSAW HAS FALLEN
Story is Unconfrmed-Latest News
Indicates Slowing Down of
German Advance.

London reports Wednesday: Ru-
mors that Warsaw has fallen are in
circulation, but the latest communl-
cations from both sides indicate the
Austro-German rush towards the Pol
ish capital has slowed down. The
Russians continue to lose ground, but
apparently the campaign has not yet
reached decisive issue.
The latest important success re-
ported by the Germans has been won
by General Won Woyrish, south OF
Ivangorod. The Russians later de-
livered vigorous counter-attacks there
but failed to recover the last ground.
Wadau. on the Baltis. is in the
hands of the Germans, who are now
within thirty-fve miles of the impor-
tant Russian seaport of Riga. Pos
session of Riga by the Germans
would force the Russian armies near
Shawl and Mitau to retreat, as the
Baltic port is their chief supply
point.
The ambitious advance of the Ger
mans in the Baltic provinces indi-
Gates they hope not only to capture
Warsaw, but to cut off the retreat OF
the Russians. Grand Duke Nicholas,
armies undoubtedly are in danger
Gus position, for to risk obstinate re-
sistance might imperil his retreat.
1t is pointed out in London, how
ever, that such an extended Austro-
German line may contain weak
points. Military writers declare the
use of landwehr and lanstrum indi-
Gates the central powers are exertirg
every resource to crush the Russians.

NICHOLAS GREAT In DEFEAT;
GRAND DUKE GREAT GENERAL
Russian Commander is Military
Chieftain of Highest Order,
Say The Critics.

Satisfactory estimates of the gen.
eralship in the European war can
hardly be made till the great strug-
gle is over and all the facts are OBJ
tainable, but it seems unlikely that
any reputation will emerge higher
than that of the Grand Duke Nichol-
as, uncle of the Car and commander
in-cfief Of the Russian army.
Joffre, Won Hindenberg, Won Mack
ensen-they are great names al
ready, made illustrious by the battle
of the Marne, the great coup at the
Mazurian lakes, by the spring cam
paign in Calicia-but not one OF
them has faced so tremendous a task
as the man who has alone manipu-
lated his forces over so vast a terri
tory that even now it requires three
great armies, advancing from as
many directions. to force him at bay.
The Grand Duke has been sorely
handicapped throughout the war BY
inferior officers. stupid soldiery, pid-
fully Inadequate equipment, especial
" in artillery. and most Of all by
primitive railway communications.
But his generalship on attack has
been brilliant in conception-accord-
| ing to military critics, hardly less so
than that of Lee. who fought three
years so superbly against odds no
| more Overwhelming.
A retreat is the test Of military
greatness, said old Won Moltke And
| in his retreats the Grand Duke Mich
olas has shown himself so far tho
| master figure of the war, and that
with a losing army.

Why She Wants 1t.

In speaking of the territory which
Italy is seeking to get frim Austria
many papers have made the mistake
of saying Since 1866 Austria has
held coveted territory that once be-
longed to Italy" Such a statement
implies that before 1866 Austria did
not POSSESS that territory.
That is where the mistake comes
in for the territory in question has
been held by Austria for centuries.
Trieste, the great seaport and the
largest city in that district, has been
held by Austria for over five hun
dred years with the exception of the
brief time Napoleon carved up the
countries to suit himself. After his
downfall the territory went back to
Austria. AS a matter of fact Austria
cid not acquire single foot Of ter
ritory in 1866. but on the contrary
she had to relinquish Venetia to
Italy.
The reason Italy wants what is
now known as the 'Irredenta" is that
in spite of the many centuries Aus
tria has held firm grip upon it the
people have remained Italian in
speech. customs. tradition and sym
pathy. 1t is a remarkable instance
of the tenacity Of racial distinctions,
and incidentally recalls Emmet's ia
nous dictum that "the spirit of a ma
ton never dieth.'
