Correspondence of the Associated Press. BERLIN, November 5.—Members of the old nobility of Russia were used recently in a German film to react court scenes which to them had been almost everyday occurrences prior- to’ the uprising of Bolshevism, which drove most of them out of the coun- try. Included in the group were sev- eral princesses and a number of counts who eppeared in roles which brought back recollections of for- mer times, when great society events were regular features of life under the czar in Moscow and St. Peters- burg. Many of these Russians, all exiles, still retain some of their raiment of other days, and this has been of great value'to them in getting movie jobs, where the performers must furnish their own costumes. The Russian women, particularly, have managed to retain numerous furs and jewelry, THE EVENING many German film actresses have gone without. Because of this fact the Germ: tresses have been talking of a movement to organize an union and bar Russien actresses from membership. -— ROCKVILLE.

Phillips of Washington, while it was disabled on the Rockville-Darnestown pike sev- eral months ago, Steven W. Funk of Washington, formerly of Danville, I, was acquitted by a jury in the Circuit Court here. Charles Fascione of Wash- ington, who was indicted jointly with Funk, pleaded gullty. Funk admitted being with Fascione when the tire was taken, but insisted that he had no knowledge that his companion was tak- ing what he had no right to, Fascione having assured him to the contrary.

The Sth Army, commanded by Gen. von Pritt- witz, who before the onslaught of the ovverwhelming Russian forces, wished to retire behind Vistula. Gen. Hoffman, a chlef of staff, op- posed this plan and urged the neces- sity of a vigorous counter attack. Gen. Von Prittwitz demurred and wired to headquarters for an authori- zatlon to retire. Headquarters an- swered by sending Gen. Von Hinden- burg, with Gen. Ludendorff as chief of staff, to take over the command. When they arrived they found that Gen. Von Prittwitz had repented and had made all preparations for carry- ing out Gen. Hoffman's plan for at- tack. This plan was accepted by Gens. Von Hindenburg and Luden- dorft, and was carried out at Tannen- burg to the dismay of the Russlans, who were crippled for months. The decision to attack and the re- sponsibility for the dangerous offen- sive were taken by Gens. Von Hin- denburg and Ludendorft, but the plan along which it was operated was Hoffman's.
