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.

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

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

Cautiously creeping up on them he

Almost instantly a man popped up
from out of the brush , nearby and
began to express his opinion of Mr.

about the same time Mr. Cover noticed
that the ducks all wore metal collars.
Mr. Cover explained his way into the

"OPERA COMIQUE" IS HERALDED AS
WEEK'S FEATURE IN MUSICAL LIFE
Beautiful Chorus of Unusual Type, -With Eleanor Painter, Wilfried Douthitt, Mme. 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.
