The initial tactical aim of this ma neuver, say military experts, is already more than attained, as the left wing of the bolshevik army based on Brest- Litovsk, has become separated, the red center is being held before the forts of Warsaw, and on the right they are reported in a critical situation.
 According to the latest news, the Poles have almost reached their next objective-the course of the Middle Bug below Brest-Litovsk. Once this is at tained, it is believed the retreat of the bolsheviki concentrated in the Siedlice region, will be cut off and they will be left with only one way to retire be- yond the Bug. This is by way of the Warsaw -Balystok road.
 North of the Narew river the Polish left wing is continuing to advance and is now well up in the fork between the Narew and Bug rivers, making converging attack on the Pultusk bridgehead. In the center the Poles ar. rapidly driving the reds back on the Upper Bug between Chiechanow and Drohiczyn. In the region of Thor, in the Danzig corridor, northeast of War saw, fresh troops have appeared on the scene. Thsy Surrounded the red attachments which reached the Vistula river and removed all danger to com munication between Warsaw and Dan Zig by the Vistula and also cleared the railroad from Danzig to soldau.

Dance Novelties

The All Star Trio presents a couple
Of new novelties on one of the newest
Victor Records-"All Star" One-Step
and ely n Dri." a fox trot The
"All Star" One-Step surely deserves
the title, for it is just such a light

lights in. "Hy n Dri" is a cheerfully
doddering, jay-hawk sort of fox trot::
Another new Victor Record of equal
merit presents "Love Nest"-a Med
ley fox trot-and "a Young Mans
Fancy" another fox trot. Both played
by Joseph C.. Smiths Orchestra.
Love Nest" is from the musical COM
cdy MARY" The string tone in this
record and the clean-cut rhythm are
highly pleasing. "a Young Mans
Fancy" is one of the most enhancing
fox trots of recent months. It is
taken from whats in a Name" by
Milton Ager.
Again we have "The Love Nest
this time sung by John Steel on new
Victor Record. Not only is this the
hit of the musical comedy "Mary," but
undoubtedly the hit of the comic opera
season. It has a lifting, lifting, least
mite dizzy sort of tune. The refrain
to the second stanza, instead of being
sung by the voice, is played as violin
solo to a ripping harp and pano ae-
compartment.

. Ruffo
Heard In "Otello"

Titta Ruffo stands in the front rank
Of the worlds great singers-a place
he has honestly won-as much by his
consummate musicianship as by his
wonderful voice. Both are called into
play in this famous aria-"Era La
Notte" (CasSo's Dream) from Verdi's
"Otello," which closely follows the
story of Shakespeare's great tragedy.
This aria is quite beyond the powers
of the ordinary operatic singer. The
musical setting is highly interesting
and Ruffo has done it full justice on
this new Victor Record. Ruffo takes
each sweeping phrase with magnificent
power and ease. There are several
wonderful high notes at moments OF
climax and the contrasts between the
PHe legato of some passages and the
clear, dramatic detached vigor of others
are more than notable. There is no
sweeter or more powerful voice in the
world and one hardly knows which to

evsrpowering crisis of the soul be-

with the perfection of artistry and the
depth of feeling vouchsafed only to
the few. The melody is accompanied
chiefly by the violin and the piano,
with delicate bell notes. The song ends
. on long sustained note that is worthy
of such an artist as De Gogorza.

READY FOR SERVICE MEN

The free scholarship movement for
the benefit OF soldiers, sailors and
marines OF the late war. and their
orphans, has not only reached our
country, but very soon all ex-service
men who desire may put In their APP
plications.
This is due to the organizing here
OF the local Educational Service Com
mittee, from among our own citizens,
with whom the ex-service men will
have their dealing. although the
scholarships are provided and paid for
by the Y. NJ. c. A. Educational Coun-
Gil.
The members OF the committee are:

We have enough forward-looking
ex-service men in our county who
want to improve their education, i'm
crease their earning power. and main
tain high ideals, that a large number
may be expected 10 take advantage
OF this promising opportunity In
addition TO the subjects OF mechanics,
electricity. engineering, mathematics,
book keeping, and those usual 70 cor
respondent courses. this program will
also include various agricultural
lines. so that men In town and coun-
try may have an equal chance.
Just as rapidly as possible !, Is de-
sired TO get such committee at work
In each county in the state. More
