" Sl "-3-" "' 1 St 5 ST iVv, . nn.nn n-n I - I CHARIiES CAREY RU1ISEY, the brilliant New York sculptor, who married Miss Mary Harriman, daughter of the late Edward H. Harri man, has borne out the bright predic tions made lor him by sculptors throughout America, by his superb equestrian figure "Pizarro," to be shown at the Panama-Pacific Interna tional Exposition at San Francisco. The stirring figure of the conqueror, mounted, upon a spirited charger, Is seen directly after entering the main gates of the Exposition Into the semi tropical South gardens. The size of the prodigious figure may be judged by comparing it with the figure of the man standing beside the horse. The World's Exposition at Chicago first proved that the greatest sculp tural talent might be employed in the production of works of "temporary value, and each succeeding exposition has increased public appreciation of the plastic art. The great exposition to be held in San Francisco promises to surpass even Chicago's exquisite display. GERMAN PREPARATIONS DENOUNCED AS PERFIDY Le Matin, of France, Tells How Krupps" Erected Huge Gun Platforms Several Years Ago as Part of Operations of Locomotive Factory. MILITARY farsightedness approach ing perfidy characterized the German preparations for the present European war, especially as It concerns France, according to Le Ma tin, of Paris, and the foundations for the great siege guns so effective for Germany so far, were laid several . years ago, according to that publica tion. An article dated Paris, September 26. 1914, which appeared In Le Matin, en titled "The Perfidy of the Germans or Krupps at Maubeuge," has been trans lated as follows by Charles Marchand, a chemical engineer, of Portland: "Did the persistent toleration which we have so generously granted to our foes. In spite of their steady, cautious and cunning hostility, bear its fruits? Why, they Burroundea us with so many traps, that It Is simply miraculous that we did not get caught. They took ad vantage of our liberal hospitality to betray us. They did prepare during the peaceful period; the halting places for their actual invasion; they placed landmarks all along our roads, even going to the limit in billeting their sol diers! "This Is' bad enough indeed, but no where else did we witness what has been revealed by the siege of Mau beuge. The heroic defenders of this stronghold have done everything that could be expected from them. They Jought bravely against overwhelming forces as long as they had been or dered to do so In order to delay the advance of our foes. After the outside line of defense was annihilated under the most formidable shelling of their cannons the startling disclosure of the wavs and means employed by the Ger mans to accomplish their deadly work as fast as possible is quite a revelation. "Everybody knows that in order to set in operation heavy siege guns and mortars, which are the only ones powerful enough to destroy modern ' fortresses. It is imperative to set them on substantial reinforced concrete foundations, built under special con ditions and according to elaborate Clans dependent upon the size of the cannon. This requires a long time to be successfully executed, thus nat nrally delaying materially the bom bardment of a besieged fortress. "At Paris in 1870-71. the huge Krupp cannons reached the spot where the Germans intended to use them dur ing the last week of November, 1870; owing to Inclement weather it was only during the first week of January that they were set in place, ready for ac tion. Well, at Maubeuge, they . were set in action Immediately upon their arrival! "As soon as these huge cannons ar rived through Belgium, the Germans had everything prepared to set them on their respective carriages, which were themselves anchored on tneir rsspec tive platforms which had been built ud ready to receive tnem several years ago. How did this happen? Through what miracle did our fees find these platforms ready for their use on our own territory? Alas, there was no mir acle at all. There was not even any mystery about it, since Le Matin had heralded the whole etory three years ago. By referring to Le Matin of July 3, 1911, our readers will readily see that he then explained that the Forest of Lamieres, covering an acreage of 400 hectares (about 900 acres) located six kilometers (about four miles) from Maubeuge, which originally belonged to the Comte de Luynes family, was of fered for sale in four lots. The largest of these four lots, including 228 hec tares, was inherited by the children of nnrarv nf A vbhiidi; i,-H i -i il nnr chased the property shortly before his death. The new purchaser, according to the recorded deeds sworn to before a notary of Avesnes, signed his name: Gilbert Marty, landlord of Brussels, but X Matin of July 3, 1911, after thor oughlv investigating the above trans action, published the following unex pected explanation regarding this mat ter: " 'The genuine and real purchaser of the Sorest of Laniere is hereafter Mr. Frederic Krupp! This statement has , been confirmed by the Gazette of Cologne, the Courier de la Bourse, also circulars issued by a bank of Nancy and sent out broadcast through the mails, without mentioning the Krupp Company, but they, the Krupp Com pany, soon announced the future Instal lation by them of a large factory for manutactunng locomotives, cars, etc. It is quite useless to mention here that if It is true that the said factory did turn out many locomotives, etc.. it also proven that all the platforms which were necessary to set in posi tion and make good use of the huge artillery of the Kaiser, were carefully built by the Krupp Company so as to serve faithfully their best customer. Such was the trick on us. The trap was certainly well laid out ahead of time! For several years past, from December. 1911, until August, 1914, the quiet and loyal French people of the neighboring small towns, including all the laborers employed by the Krupp factories, have seen these platforms which were erected by them following the orders of these cowards, and x yet they had not the slightest idea that they were intended to be used against them in war time! "in fact, the preliminary works of the anticipated siege were executed by these - workingmen who thought that they were a part of their industry. The German raachiavelism was getting ready for a future bombardment before declaring war on us.

MISS CASSIDY'S GOOD WISHES BRING BLUSHES Italians Who "Vanta da City Barber" Finally Are Directed to Auditor's Office After They Explain They Want to Pay Bill. iOHN YORK, a clerk in the City Auditor's office, was presented with an increase in salary and at about the same time was presented with a bouncing baby boy by his wife. Miss Cassidy, one of the telephone operators ' at the City Hall, got a rise in salary at about the same time. Mr. York hannened into the tele phone booth and Miss Cassidy extended hearty congratulations. "You can congratulate me, too, said Miss Cassidy. "I got one, too." Mr. York looked rather puzzled. What are you giving me?" he finally asked. "Yes, I got one at the same time you did," said Miss Cassidy. "What are you talking - about?" asked the perplexed Mr. York. "'I'm talking about your rise in salary," said Miss Cassidy. "Oh," exclaimed York, "I thought you were congratulating me on my new baby." Miss Cassidys blushes stopped further conversation. he had with him, when the Mayor reached his destination and departed. P. M AYOR ALBEE occupied a seat in a crowded streetcar when a working man got on. The Mayor, noticing that the man was tired, got up and gave him his seat. As the Mayor clung to a strap the working man started a conversation. "What line are you in now?" asked the stranger. "Oh, I'm up at the City Hall for while." replied the Mayor. "That so?" said the working man. "I suppose you know Mayor Albee, then?" "Yes?" replied the Mayor, "I think I know him." The working man had just begun chasing bureau, went out hunting last Sunday. After tramping for sev eral miles in quest of ducks he came upon a marsh in which he saw a dozen or so fine-looking mallards. Cautiously creeping up on them he blazed away, sending the birds scat tering In a dozen different directions. Almost instantly a man popped up from out of the brush , nearby and began to express his opinion of Mr. Cover in somewhat lurid language. At about the same time Mr. Cover noticed that the ducks all wore metal collars. Mr. Cover explained his way into the good graces of the man who owned the ducks and hurried home duckless, ISS COMAN, Mayor Albee's stenog rapher, visited an ostrich farm in California during her vacation. She would not believe the big birds she saw were real -ostriches because they did not have the gaily colored feathers women wear on tneir hats.

Jeanne Maubourg and James Haxrod,s Under Director Andreas Dippel, Make Up New York Success Despite War. , to explain how well he was acquainted I a light, and pointed the way to Auditor with Mayor Albee and what a stand in I Barbur s office. . BY EMILE FRANCES BAUER. NEW YORK, Nov. 7. (Special. Quite th.e most important feature In the musical and theatrical life of New York during the week, was the opening of the Opera Comlque at the Forty - fourth. - street Theater, with Andreas Dippel as director. From the earliest war days, the great question was would he or would he not be able to open. Would he be able to bring stage accessories, costumes and every thing that goes with the sort of under taking which the intrepid impresario planned? It was obvious that he had succeeded in landing everything, in cluding one or two Important people, from abroad. There were Eleanor Painter, a vounc girl from Denver, wno had made a suc cess in one of the foreign opera houses, and Wilfried Douthitt, an English baritone, formerly a member of the Quinlan Opera Company. In addition to these. Madame Jeanne Maubourg la to be found there, and she lends much to the stage, as she is es sentially for a work of this sort rather than for grand opera. James Harrod, the tenor, would be of value by reason of a beautiful voice which he uses well if there were enough of a role to count. Then there are some beautiful chorus maidens of a different type from the usual Broadway chorus girl these are young women from the church choirs and from the. best studios, and unlike most chorus organizations, they sing. Mr. Dippel also has provided himself with a conductor who could do grand opera as well as music of the lighter nature. This is Dr. Anselm Goetzl, who has been conductor in Karlsruhe, Bey routh and other important musical centers and - who understands the technio of Viennese light opera as well. Dr. Goetzl is one of the most precious assets of the Dippel Opera Comlque Company and finally Mr. Dippel has "The Lilac Domino, which has under gone the usual transformation from a foreign light opera by Charles Cuvll- lier " to a Broadway show as trans formed by Harry B. and Robert B. Smith. But this does not cover all the points which make the success of the Droduction. There is a scene of moving pictures which not only brings the work up to the last minute in stage business, but it adds great brilliancy, snap and beauty to the offering. The moving picture episode occurs as a carnival in Nice when the usual decorated auto mobiles, grotesques and other floats pass in a long procession together with the great crowds of people in car riasres. on foot and from the windows. It is a series of pictures in color and Is certainly one of the most elaborate. So far as plot is concerned, one does not think much about this while under the spell of the movement, color ana music, and aiterwaras it aoes not mai ter much. The music, too, is remin iacent but perhaps this makes it easier to assimilate and to hum It In Parts as the audience leaves the thea ter. There are the usual lilting waltz and the love song. What more does an ooeretta of this sort need parcicularly when it has a baritone who can hold a high tone long enough to turn even a Caruso green with envy, and a half dozen iokes of various ages with suf ficient dressing to - bring a grateful outburst of amusement from those who came to cavil and remained to giggle. Mr." Dippel had. the good taste not to overload the performances with stage dancing, horse play and other details which belong by right of pre-emption to the burlesque-extravaganza, and h has been fortunate in securing a lovely prima donna of refinement, good vocal equipment and histrionic ability ami charm even If he has fallen far afield In the selection of the second soprano, Rene Dettling, who eings the part of Leonie. The audience on the opening night was essentially that of a Metropolitan opening night, and It included many people well known in all professions and arts. Mr. Dippel. his conductor and stage assistants together with the members of the company, were called before the curtain, and there was great Jollty all around. There are fashions in titles just as in everything else. "Innocence led, now "Experience" follows. This Is th name of - a new play by George V. Hobart, which has just opened at the Booth Theater, and if this i name gives more of an Inkling to the gist of the play than did the first mentioned it may be said that traditional truths lend themselves as subject matter for the playwright and for William Elliott as chief interpreter. Mr. Elliott thus finds himself in a morality play" impersonating Youth surrounded by all the impersonations of the different temptations and their results. Love Is played by Miriam Collins and Margot Williams is charm ing as Frailty. It must not be believed that this is a preachment, and nothing else. It is a very brilliant, well-stagea production and there are both excellent lines and good acting. The return of Rose Statu is always an important event, with little con cern whether her medium is all that might be desired or not. "The fertect Lady" is not exactly a perfect play, nor anything near it, but then, Aliss Stahl is there and the fact that this is the case almost pre-supposes the rest, because when an actress has made so distinct a place for herelf in a certain sort of role, there is a sub-conscious relation to the old role in the minds of all who would venture to supply her with another medium, and so Rennard Wool f and Channing Pollock could not get far away from Miss Stahl's own impersonation of "The Chorus Lady" and others of her past successes. Lucille Le Jambon as Rosalind dis graced the family by wearing tights and she decided to be forgotten as the actress and to become again plain Miss Higgins until she shall have cleared the honor of the family. This she does by opening a parlor for dancing the tango in a small town, where she scan dallzes the best citizens, notwithstand Ing the fact that they are her patrons. However, she redeems her soul, which had not been seriously lost, by falling in love wtih the minister and settling for life in his small parish. The arrival of Anna Pavlowa this week marked another achievement concerning which at one time there was much question. The great ' Rus sian artist is domiciled at the Waldorf Astoria, where she says she has had the first idea of quiet and peace. She is desolate over the existing conditions in Europe and through whatever ave nue it may be. she always arrives at the tragedy of the situation.' She is now figuring upon an indefinite stay in this country, but says that the only difference will be that she is open for more dates here than she would other wise have been, as she, wtih her or ganization, was booked heavily in Eu rope, where she had a triumphant Sum mer season. Mme. Pavlowa has interested herself deeply in the American music and while she has held a contest merely for dance music, she believes that the quality of melody and the general feeling of the American composer should equip him to write something of the more serious ballet or pantomime music. She will, no doubt, lend herself to encouraging this phase later, particularly if troublous conditions continue abroad, so that there will be nothing new com ing out of Europe. Mme. Pavlowa and her company opened at the Metropolitan Opera House on the evening of November 3. Another arrival of the week was Os- sip Gabrllowltsch, who, with his wife and their little daughter, have come according to the original indention, but what they will do later remains as yet a question. It is more than likely that they will ' remain in this country, as Mrs. Gabrllowltsch, who was Clara Clemens, daughter of the late great Mark Twain, still owns the home. 'Stormf leld," where the humorist passed his last days. Of all the narrow escapes, probably none was more rraught witn danger than that of the Russian pianist, who had long been living in Munich. An over-assiduous German butler, who left the family to enlist, told of his life with the Russian and his companions became so incensed that he was moved to remark that Gabrilowitsch received a great many letters from Russia. The pianist was taken without a moment s warning from the heart of his family. Mrs. Gabrllowltsch was so horrified that she phoned a friend and she had only time to say, "Do something quick ly; Ossip .has been taken as a spy. See the Russian Ambassador " and her phone was cut off. She was then in formed that her phone was no longer at her disposal. The friend to whom she telephoned also was cut off the telephone list, but he had worked quickly enough to get to the Russian Interpreter and the letters "and papers which were found on Gabrllowltsch were proven to be only family letters and regular Inoffensive material. ' He was released after hours of in tense privations and hardship and, as told by the pianist and his wife, she remembered nothing of her state of mind except that she never left the window where she watched for his re turn or for one word of his where abouts, and that in an hour where men were shot down like so many animals was as much of a strain as she could ever experience. "She understands the second Hjct of 'Mme. Butterfly. " said Gabrllowitsch, In telling the story, and she assented quietly. The opening of the philharmonic sea son, the recitals of Alma Gluck, Al bert Spalding and John McCormack at Carnegie Hall and the several recitals at Aeolian Hall proclaim the season well under way, while the first week In November brings in the wake a per fect stream of notable events, including the Boston Symphony concerts, recitals by Tina Lerner, Carl Frledberg, Leon ard Borwick, Florence Hinkle, to say naught of the arrival in New York of all the Metropolitan Opera Company on the Canopic, expected to land in Boston. $25,000 ASKED FOR JILT Woman Conrted Nine Years Sues Judge, "Who Weds Another.
