Harry Philadelphia Killed No Accurate Estimate of It's Strength
III Texas Possible.
Possible.

Allied and American naval officials
are unable to form any accurate es-
innate of the present strength of the
German battle fleets, it was SAID TO-
day by Admiral Benson, chief of naval
operations. Not Only are reports rs
to what Germany has built or IS
building conflicting, 1uJ every effort to
secure positive information IN regard
to the whereabouts and condition OF
the Russian fleet in the Black and
Baltic seas has met with failure.
Naval officials are particularly IN
terested in the dreadnoughts and bat
tie cruisers Germany my have secured
by seizure of the Russian fleets. At
least eight modern battleships were
in the Baltic and Black seas and four
battle cruisers were under construc-
ton at points in the Gulf of Finland
when the Russian collapse came.
It is estimated that II Germany mas
obtained I'll Russian war craft and
succeeds in putting them into fighting
condition she has beec aoie to increase
the strength of her Nigh sea fleet by

quite positive, however, of the ability
Of the allied fleets to deal with the

GERMAN DESTRUCTIVENESS.

"Louvain will remain perhaps the classic instance of Schrecklichkeit," says Brand Whitlock in Everybody's for May, "but Wise was worse" "Todey," he adds, Tying along the Mouse is a silent city; its empty chambers open to the sky. It might be Pompeii. Those ruins might have lain there for centuries. There is not a living being there. The devastation the destruction are absolute, the si- lence complete; it is the very abomi- nation of desolation, a mass of brick and stone and 'charred beams, crum- bling white facades, whose windows, with their easements blackened by fire, stare like the hollow sockets of skulls. Of the 4,000 inhabitants, not one is there, not g. house is standing, not a roof remains. The taverns where the people used to go in joy ous bands to eat of the famous roast goose, are heaps of cinders; the very trees in their gardens, under whose boughs the youth of Liege used to
 dance the cramignon, have been burn ed. The scaling walls of the church tremble in the wind, the roof has fallen in; the towers with their bells, the organs, the statues, have tumbled into bits. The work that would have
 required ages, was accomplished by
 German organization in a night"

LYRIC

When theatrical critics agree in the1r decisions on the value of a pro- ductfon 1t is safe bet that their opinions are correct In each of the separate reviews which were written following the opening performance of that already famous comedy farce.
 Take a Chance now playing at the new Lyric theatre, the critics were unanimous in declaring it one of the best and funniest productions that has ever come to Bridgeport These opin- ions were backed up by the favorable comments which were heard upon all sides by those who were fortunate enough to witness one of the perform ances, all of which must Joe taken as proof positive that "Take a Chance is all that has been claimed for it.
 When writing this comedy Vincent Lawrence must have been in a merry mood, for none of his previous ven- lures into playdom contain so many humorous situations which are really funny without going into the riducu- lous to provide something to laugh at. The story is founded on fact and with the lively imagination of MT. Law renee fin addition to the versatile ac- complishments of the Poi Players who are producing it during the en- tire week, ''Take a. Chance" promises to create a furore when it reaches Broadway.
 Next week the Poi Players will at- tempt one of the biggest things they have ever tackled in producing that popular musical comedy, Every Good Eddie,'' which has enjoyed a success sion of long time runs in all the big cities in the country. Assisting the players a melodious chorus of IS beau tiful girls from New York will par ticfpate. Each of the players will in troduce a speciality and those who know them are aware of what this means.
