UNBELIEVABLE RUSS ENDURANCE
Collapse of the Austrian Campaign in Galicia is Given From
Petrograd Standpoint—Germans Began With High Spirits
and Hope, But All This Has Waned
Petrograd, via London, 5 p. m. Th^
war «rjx»rt of the Novoe Vreimt in a
summary of the war puhlinhed today
refers to what lie calls the “collapse
of the Austrian campaign in Galicia;
the lack of cohesion on the part of the
German armies to the north of Cracow
and the doc.ged perseverence hut with
waning spirit of the Germans at 80-
cbacaeiv” which he says describes the
situation in Poland.
Going into details his observer says;
“The lack of success of the Austrian
army on tho S»nok-ldsko front de
vitalized all the Austrian operations
in Galicia.
Fate of Przemysl.
“The fate of Przomysl has been a
weighty factor with the Austrian gen

TIFFS BELGIUM
No Notification Vet in
Washington of New Exequa
ters Required for American
Consuls. Pres’t Says Brand
Whitlock Remains.
London, 4:40 p. m.—British authorities
have been advised of Germany’s notifi
cation to neutral governments that it
will no longer recognize the exequaturs
crediting their consuls to Relgium.
That action created some surprise in
Hngland where it is regarded aa a pre
liminary step to the official taking over
of Belgium by the Germans. The re
sult of that action probably would ho
the refusal 1o recognize, Brand Whit
lock, American minister.
Interest Is manifested In London as
to the probable action of the American
government if Germany grants only
provisional recognition to neutral con
sul*.
No Notification Yet.
Washington, D. C. —The United States
government bad received no notification
late today from Germany that American
> onsuls originally accredited to Belgium
would be Veuired to obtain new exequa
turs or certificates of authority. Un
til such a notice is communicated high
officials said this government would de
termine no course of action. Officials ,
regard the points involved as of a deli- j
cate cbaruct*r.
Remains Unitea States Minister.
In reply to a question recently as to '
the status of Brand Whitlock, lYesident
Wilson replied that Whitlock would re- ,
main American minister to Belgium,
even though he left the country indefi
nitely. Ho now Is in Brussels dealing
unofficially with tho German military
authorities, but is accredited to the Bel
gian government, whose seat is at
I lav re, France.
Complex Problem.
The status of consular officers who
are given specified districts presents a
more complex problem. There has been
no general understanding on this phase
(if the subject, but the precise meaning ■
of the term "occupation” was established |
In a definition adopted by The Hague
conference of 1H99. By that definition
lerritory Is regarded hh occupied “when
It finds itself placed in fact under the
authority of the hostile army; the oc
cupation only extends to those territo
ries where this authority is established
and In a position to be exercised.”
Further Complications.
Should Germany formally annex Bel
gium and establish a civil authority the
situation would he further complicated
ns annexations during time of war have
not generally been recognized. Decis
ions of final peace conferences termi
nating a conflict usually have been
awaited by neutral governments.
Officials here are governed by a de
sire to take no step that would offend
tile Belgian people.
No Objections.
If the Gdk'inan military authorities,
however, require that additional exequa
turs be obtained for American consuls,
the Washington government it was sug
gested. probably would not interpose ob
jections. Huch certificates would be
regarded as in a class with military
passes, safe conduct and other papers is*

convenience of neutral subject*. As
consuls are essentially commercial rep
resentatives tlte question of political rec-‘
(ignition, it is thought In many quarters

DEATH STRUGGLE
ON GIRL’S GRAVE
Brother and Sweetheart of
French Lassie Fight Unknow
ingly of Each Other’s Position
Paris Tt was during the fight at
Traoy-le-Val, where, according to the
official commuulque, “our troops cap
tured the village of Tracy.” But the
truth Is, the French troops captured
- a few graves and gravestones—and
In the process they tiuulo many more
graves. Jules Gambol captured a
great deal more than a village.
The Germans had dug comfortable
trenches among the graves and the
gravestones made good cover for
them. The French were ordered to
storm the cemetery and a detachment
of Infantry set out aided by Moroc
can troops. They crept up close and
lay down watting for the opportunity
to rush. The Moroccans had their
knives between thetr teeth. It was a
cold night, and the moon was hidden
behind a cloud.
But as they lay on the soft, wet
earth the moon efttno out and a Ger
man rifle flashed from nmong the
tombstones. They were up at once
and rushed nt the cemetery shouting
and yelling like men possessed. Then
the fight on the graves began.
Jules cannot tell much about the
fight. He lies In the American hos
pital. here with a far away look In
tils eyes, and occasionally he murmurs
a name to himself It Is the name of
the German xvho gave him the terri
ble wounds from which he suffers.
Sister’s Grave.
Jules cante from the Tracy district
and the first grave he made for In the
rush was the one In which hls sister
was burled. He was resolved to de
fend tt at all costs. In the darkness
he saw a German sitting on the little
grave. Jules uttered a shout nnd
charged with hls bayonet. The Ger
man fired point blank and Jules re
ceived the bullet In the chest. Then
they went at each other with knives.
At last Jules saw ‘.hat the German
was dying, lie raised hls enemy nnd
propped him against hls sister’s tomb
| stone.
"You deserved It," cried Jules. "Why
| did you sit on my stater’s grave?"
"Your sister’s grave?" echoed the
German. "It is a lie. It Is the grave
of my sweetheart -"
Jules caught the man's head and
twisted his face round so that he saw
hint well. Then he remembered. Hls
sister had been In love with a stranger
who came to the village last year.
She had died recently. This was In
deed her lover. He died shortly while
| .lutes was carried away moaning, but
j not from bodily pain.

“POLLY OF THE CIRCUS,” NEW
YEAR’S DAY MATINEE & EVENING.
Frederic Thompsons original stu
pendous production, “Polly of the Cir
cus," with the prettiest and sweetest
of all young stars, Miss Elsie St. Leon,
In Margaret Mayo’s famous American
play that brought fame and fortune
to Mr. (Thompson and genuine delight
to hundreds of thousands of theatre
goers who have witnessed It, will he
presented at the Grand New Year’s
Day, matinee and evening.
In the construction of this remarka
ble drama, Miss Mayo went far off the
beaten path of playwrights and achiev
ed a story as refreshing as it is de
lightful and original, the part of Polly
showing with admirable fidelity the
life of a pretty little circus rider and
the doings In the mystic land behind
the scenes In a hig circus, as well as
the remarkable pictures of the daily
events of a small village In the Middle
West.
Polly, from whom the play gets Its
title, Is the head of the cirrus. She is
severely injured hy a fall from her
horse and Is carried to the parsonage
adjoining the lot. Her recovery, un
der the supervision of the village
preacher, forms a basis for one of the
prettiest love stories given to the stage
In many days. PYom first curtain to
last, the Interest Is surprisingly sus
tained, while the six scenes required
for the development of the plot, give
opportunity for one of the most lav
ishly elaborate scenic productions.

Miss Maude Adams in “The Legend of
Leanora” and "The Ladies
Shakespeare."
Maude Adams in a Bnrrie play un
doubtedly appeals to the countless
ones who admire the actress and ap
preciate the genius of the Scotch
author who has given so many charm
ing plays to the stage. Miss Adams
is to come to the Grand Tuesday,
evening only, January sth. and the
principal play in which she is to be
seen is “The Legend of Leonora,” the
first long work from Barrie’s pen
since "What Every Woman Knows."
The work is described as being de
lightful in every way. Barrie’s hero
ines have all been charming, but Leo
nora. is.said to he the most fascinating
of them all. She is a woman of many
traits, many vagaries and full of con
tradictions. She Is young, she is
widow with a little girl, and she Is at
all times and in all moods charming.
It Is a rule with dramatists to de
scribe their characters so that the
players Interpreting them may thor
oughly understand the author’s Idea
of them. Some authors make these
descriptions very complete and
minute. Barlre describes Leonora
tersely nnd simply. On the first page
of hls manuscript this Is all he has to
say of his chief character: "Leonora
Is an unspeakable darling and that is
ell the guidance that can be given to
the lady playing her.” It Is said that
one of the charms of Mtss Adams’
portrayal of Leonora Is Its perfect
naturalness. The new work is in
three acts nnd will serve to open Miss
Adams’ hill, the concluding play be
ing "The T.adles Shakespeare." which
is In one act and contains threa_£lab

NEGRO SHE SUSS

Believed Another Attempted
Robbery. Negro Seen Walk
ing Away From the Place by
Jules Heymann.
Shortly after dark Saturday evening a
negro broke the glass to the show win
dow of Bowen Bros., but failed to get
any goods therefrom. He was seen
walking away from the place by Mr.
Jules Heymann. He went into an alley]
It is assumed that the negro heard
footsteps and decided not to try to make
a haul of any kind. The hole which
he broke In the glass was large enough
fur a man to enter and that suggested the
Idea that he may have been drunk and
staggered up against the glass, the
smashing glass and. probably, a bleed
ing face and hands, sobering him up.
However, the most accepted theory is
that the negro was trying to rob the
place.
A negro was arrested last night by
