German Troops Welcomed to Warsaw as Liberators, Say Papers BERLIN, Aug. 7.-Via London, 8§ p m)-The German troops were welcomed | to undamaged Warsaw as |lhonwr.,‘ to the report forwarded !o‘ Berlin by Kurt Aram, a special corre- spondent of the Lokal Anzeiger. | Telegraphing under date of August §, | Aram places emphasis on the statement that the city was not evacuated without a confliot. The forts were protected by barbed wire, trenches, pitfalls and mines | against infantry attacks. The oity is not mentioned as having been damaged. The Inhabitants of the Polish capital, the correspondent says, filled the streets and welcomed the In-marching troops with every sign of real enthusiasm and rejoicing. The streets were richly be-| flagged. The Polish peasants, who long had been restrained in the city, began leaving early in the morning ‘for their farms, driving their live stock and con- veying thelr household effects. They grested the Germans with tears. The Warsaw correspondent of the Ber- | liner Tageblatt confirms the report that the German troops met with a joyous' reception. The streets, he says, were filled with Poles, Jows, Germans and Russians, who waved their hats joyfully to the German soldlers. Many of the Inhabitants even were standing iIn the vicinity of the castle, although an e fantry battle with the Russians was pro- ceeding to the east of the buiflding. The street cars were running as usual the correspondent sald, and almost all the shops were opened. Very little dam- age had been done in the city proper The earthworks about the ferts show the German artillery made many fair Dita. The correspondent at Ivangorod of the Lokal Angzeiger points out the occupa- tion of that fortress in iteelf is less 1m- portant than the fact that it makes p sible an important increase of concentric pressure on the Rugsian troops in South Poland. The offensive of the armies of Archduke Joseph Ferdinand and Fleld Marshal von Maokensen, he adds, con- tinues northward and the effect on the yet unchanged Bast Oalician front is likely soon to make itself felt. N0 MORE JUNKETS AT PUBLIC COST Judge Redick Decides Against Pub- lic Officials and Anti-Leak In- junction Suits. STOPS ALL BUT MR. HOWELL District Judge Redick has decided | for the plaintiff, Attorney Edward | A. Smith, in the last of four famous | anti-treasury-leak injunction suits brought by the lawyer in 1913. The! case was brought to enjoin th Bchool board from paying the ex: penses of Dr. E. Holovtchiner and Superintendent Graf to a convention in 1913. The court held they must pay their own expenses. Three out of four cases Attornsy Smith won, the only defendant who escaped being R. Beecher Howell of the water board, whose case, District Judge Troup sald, was different from those of Com- missioner Ryder and Kugel, previously decided by the same court for the plain- e, i The fourth sult was to prevent Doug- las county from paying 3600 to the county fair association. Mr. Smith lost in district court, but carried the case to the supreme court and won. He did not | take the Howell sult to the supreme court, ALREADY GUESSING QUEEN (Continued from Page Four.)

Furnishings Store is Robbed of Stock A store owned by H. C. Ellinghusen, at 1714 Vinton street, was broken into and a large quantity of goods taken. The thieves entered through a transom aud seemed to have gone over the entire stock, removing so much that an inven- tory will have to be taken before the ex- tent of the loss can be determined, Shoes, men's clothes, including suits, shirts, col- lar buttons, underwear and all of the other flems which o to make up the wardrobe of a well dressed man, were taken In quantiUes, Necktles were taken by the dozen, socks caps, hats were all taken by the box. No clue to the thieves has yet been reported. Bert Ayres Robbed Twice in One Week! Bert Ayres, 149 North Eighteenth street, has been robbed. And to make it worse it is the second time in a week. Besides that, he suspects someone and has told the police who it is. He de- mands instant action, as he cannot afford to have this thief constantly prey- ing on his purse. The first time the burglar, who entered the house while Ayres was peacefully sleeping, got very little, but the second time he made off with 18 cents, It seems that Ayres will hardly be able to convict his man, even if he catches him, for money does so warp justice these days. Cardinal Lorenselli Dying. ROME, Aug. 6.—(Via Paris.)—Cardinal Benedict Lorenzelli, perfect of the Con- gregation of Studies, is believed to be dying and received the last sacrament this morning. Cardinal Lorenszelll, who is 62 years old, was appointed a cardinal priest in 1807 Boston Symphony Orchestra Has Many Past Masters of the Violin It was Ysaye who said a few years ago that there was no orchestra with which he liked to play so much as the Boston Symphony and at the same time there was no orchestra an appearance with which he dreaded so much. There is no orchestra in the world that has among its first violins so many men who rank among virtuosl. Witek, llke his prede- cessors in the chalr of the concert-master, Is one of the very great violinists of the world. Noack, who sits beside him as second corcert-master, although just in his thirties, was famous in Europe before hg came to Boston. Other men in the first violins who if they chose could prosper greatly as virtuosi are Roth, Hoffman, Schmidt, Theodorowics, Bak; for even so great & man as Ysaye. The visiting virtuoso cannot fool any of the men who are accompanying him and if they give him applause he is sure to know that he has deserved it. Some in- teresting tales might be told of things that have happened at rehearsals of the orchestra when famous virtuosi have fin- ished rehearsing with hardly & per- functory tapping of bow on violins to reward them. On the other hand thers have been times when the whole orchestra got up and cheered the soloist after he had & particularly fine plece of work in rehearsing. Arturo Toscanini, the great conductor of the Metropolitan Opera House, once remarked to & friend that he would be in fact, there is not a man in the ranks of the first violins of whom it is not safe to say are better violinists and better musicians than the average soloists who #° up and down the country giving re- citals. The leader of the second violins, Walther Habenicht, who came to Boston two years ago, was concert-master. of the Kiel Philharmonic Orchestra end sat at the second desk of the first violins of the Festival Orchestra in Bayreuth. He has bhad s distinguished career as & player of chamber music in Germany. It 1s this fact that makes an appear- ance with the orchestra such & tryiug test willing to give up six months of his career in order to “play with,” as he termed it, the Boston Symphony Orchestra. “What an opening for anyonel” he re- marked, “a man with an orchestra like that can do anything in the world. There is no limit to his accomplishments. So far as T know, and I think I know all the orchestras in the world, there is nothing in Europe or America to compare with the Boston Symphony Orchestra.” The Boston Symphony Orchestra opens the charity concert course under the auspices of the Assoclated Retallers of Omaha at the Auditorium October % two |+ '\ Empress Has | | | Edward Lynch Perhaps no play that has been pre- |sented to the American public in the twenty years possesses ilMINI such won- dramatic force rongly to the sympathies “The @Girl Out Yonder," the Edwsrd Lynch players will present at the Brandeis theater for the {elghth week of their all-summer season, | beginning tonight. Posseased of all the | finer elementa that go to make up a really ‘Fum'eunlul play, unusually strong in point of dramatic construction, interspersed Wwith a rich and irresistible vein of pure, humorous comedy, It grips and holds the audience from the rise of the first cur- [tain until the fall of the last and sends them away feeling better and nobler for having seen it. “Flotsam,” the “Girl from Out Yonder," {a child of the sea, knowing no mother, “just a bit of driftwood,” knowing noth- :lnx but the daily labors of the coast | Buarq and the keeping of the lighthouse, |rough and sturdy in manner and speech, |strong as a man and with only two | companions in the world, her father, Cap- tain Amos Barton, and a snapping turtle, to whom she confides all of her secrets of joys and sorrows, is a most striking character and one particularly well suited to the peculiar style and Individuality of | Miss McGrane. Seventeen years before |the play, the “Hesper” is wrecked off the coast and only a dozen lives are saved; among the number is a little girl baby, which is carried to the lighthouse, where a girl baby ha$ just been born to the wife of Amos Barton. The sea baby dies shortly after being rescued and the par {ents to commemorate the event of the Lit of seaweed so strangely cast up to them, name thelr own baby Flotsam.

Incidently she meets Ed- ward Hlmer, a rich young nephew of Mrs. Elmer, whom she has rescued and a casual acquaintance gradually ripens Into friendship and finally love. A murder has been committed shortly after the beginning of the play on board the ship of which Amos Barton was a saflor and he in his drunken condition is told by the real murderer that he himself com- mitted the crime. He knows that Flotsam would never be- lieve his guilt and resolves to turn her against him by telling her that she is not his own child, Accordingly, in the third act of the play, he sends for Flotsam, having first sent word to the officers of the law, that he is walting for them, and then follows one of the most wonderfully constructed scenes ever conceived in a_play, in which Amos de- lberately lies 1o his own child:and tells her that she Is not his, but the bit of driftwood that was washed up by the sea, that his own child lies burled near the light, and that he is tired of caring for her, and that she will have to look to strangers, Having driven her away from D THEWAR % | 1 | | one week, commencing Tuesday, August 17.

It 1s presented on a great open-air stage, 660 feet across. Jts scen- ery comprises 30,000 square feet of can- vas painted in ofl, and 300 people are required in the cast. The drama depicts an attack upon a city, In which are engaged siege cannon, machine guns, armored automoblles, aeroplanes and 'dirigibles, manned by living operato: and all the up-to-date engines of war. The air is filled with exploding bombs, walls topple beneath an fron ral Dwellings, public edifices and cathedrals crumble down in ruin. All the realism of war is in the grim and thrilling picture.
