MAD MONK, Of
RUSSIA Biz
+ SCREEN HIT

The true, story OF RusSia-tAe
events leading up TO the revolution
and the death of Rasputin, the black
force behind the sCzar-are now for
the first time told in "Rasputin, The
Black Monk" "a remarkable feature
issued by World-Pictures Brady-Made.
The facts connected with the fall of
the ROmanoffs are now told for the
first time and are told in way that
will enthrall every movie fan, every
student of history and every person
who is interested in keeping up with
the biggest events of the times. This
most remarkable attraction will be
shown at the Auditorium theatre on
Thursday and Friday with magnifi-
cent cast headed by Montague Love,
June Elvidge, Arthur Ashley, Julia
Dean, Irving Cummings, and Hubert
Wilke. Money has been spent on this
picture with lavish hand. The con-
struction of a single street used in
few Of the scenes cost $4,000 and
the other settings are proporti0nately
expensive. But the result justifies
the expenditures "Rasputin, tho
Black Monk" is a gripping master
piece. 1t tells the inside history of
the biggest event Of the worlds big
gest war and reveals a charming ro-
nance connected with the great revo.
luton. 1t moves swiftly. 1t is an un-
fOrgetable masterpiece.

Russell, in swords that glowed with

No address delivered in Bismarck

made so profound an impression upon
everyone who heard it. Russell was
interrupted again and again by vol

on his every word, with an intense
interest which at times was painful.

anything more than little strokes here
and there
Italy Drew Teutonics' Attention
1t has been apparent, however, that
German attention was largely center
ed on the italian front where the mil
itary move in force, intended to crush
Italy, is now in full swing 4 Admitted
ly numbers of German troops had been
sent to the Italian front, but the as
sumption has been these had been
drawn from the Russian front where
the collapse OF the Russian military
machine had made it unnecessary for
the Germans to maintain much more
than trench garrison. 1t is consider
ed possible, however, that the British
secret service had knowledge of a
weakening OF the German front in the
west by the withdrawal of highly
trained experienced troops to give
backbone to the push in Northern
Italy, and opportunity thus being az
forded to catch the Germans unaware
and hit them a crushing blow while
their strategic reserves in the France
Belgian war area was depleted.
The element of surprise the re-
ports. reveal was a large factor in the
initial British success as contrary to
the almost invariable rule in this war
there was no advance preparation by
the British artillery, the troops going
cover the top and falling upon an
enemy apparently without any expecta-
ton that he was about to be attacked.

OF the Arras battlefront, south of Ar
ras. The British center in this thrust
is nearly opposite Cambria the i'm
portant German base and railway cen

BapaumeCambrai road was about !
miles distant as it had stood for sew

push launched is apparently aimed al

Established Last Spring
What is known as the ,Hindenburg
line was established last spring when
the famous strategic retreat" on the
SOmme front was carried out. 1t was
supposed to be an impregnable barrier
which had been in careful preparation
The British and French, however
showed in the Arras battle last spring
and in the French drive on the Aisne
front, that the line was by no means
a bar to their progress and serious in
roads were made in it on as various
attacks on both fronts. No definite
break, however, had ever been Ell
fected.
The attack came almost without
warning. the only symptoms being a
series of somewhat elaborate trench
raids.
b.: Hardly Hint Given
The elaborate raids in this sector
reported last night by the British wal
office, which the German staff an
nounced it had taken steps, to meet,
gave hardly a hint that q push in any
such force or over such a wide extent
of front was in progress. There has
been little speculation over the posi-
bility of a British attack in force on
the western front this fall in any area
other than that Of Flanders, where the
main British effort for several
months past has been expended. Even
here, the -lateness of the season and
difficult nature of the ground at this
time of the year, particularly, seemed
to give little basis for expectation of
