For French fingers in combina tion with French taste, can accomplish wonders, and French efficiency is pro verbial. The women are doing this, so the re port goes, to save money to buy knit ted garments for the soldiers, giving the time to sewing rather than to knit ting to help the poorer women who knit busily for the shops. The Paris shops are kept well stocked with knit ted comforts and prices are lower than they are over here and knitting most perfectly done. For this reason many American woran are "shopping in Paris" for comforts for their men at the-front. Many American stores now have in stalled thp "shopping in Paris service."

Mr. Thaver tears the mask ff the Germaa alleged superman, and how Mm to be a creature of flesh and blood, like all the re it of ns. It is shown that the Germans have auc ceed'd wonderfully in creating the modern German emplra. because they ara human machines who have lived, aten. drilled and fought as one. It la pointed out that If you repeat a declaration often enough the world either dismisses you as a bore or kills yon aa a fanatic, or ends by believing you se the German claim that they are great supermen was believed, with out a thorough sifting of the evldeace. "The goepel of the superman was shouted Into every Teutonic ear. The Prussians remembered that" they had won three wan. and they knew that In the world they had the most powerful military organisation, prepared for use at a moment s notice.

It seems that there h a right way and a wrong way to handle ashes, waste paper and garbage, and the man now to the Job is taught to accomplish bis tasks wttb a minimum of effort. R. SANDERS WEKERLB, Hun garian Premier, recently received deputation of workmen who handed him a resolution atatint; that the workmen deaired a speedy conclu sion of peace, based on the principles of no annexations, self-determination of people's rights and the immediate discussion in the lower house of the franchise bill. The workmen also re quested fair and equal distribution of foodstuffs and other necessities. Dr. Wekerle told tho workmen that the Hungarian government was strong ly supporting the peace policy, and he said that incidents like the present strike seriously menaced the peace ne gotiations, and that if the workmen de sired the accomplishment of peace, the disturbances must stop. Latest reports to reach this country announce a revolution in Vienna. It is said that the levol.-tiomists had named a provisional Ministry. The food short age. It la thought, was the principal reason for the revolt. The dual system of government pre vailing in Austria and Hungary worked fairly well n' peace times, but now the growing lack of cordiaJlty has been considerably intensified Hungary has refused to Lell any more of her grains in Austria or Germany, and this has brought a climax which ia causing the bitterest feeling. Lieutenant Robert E. Lee, U. S. A., grandson of General Robert E. Lee, the commander-in-chief of the armies of the Confederate states during the Civil War, is fighting for the United States. Lieutenant Lee has the mark as a mili tary leader set by nls famous grand father as the goal of his efforts, though he will be doing his utmost for that Union which his grandsire strovo to de stroy. General Lee's fame as a soldier is secure, for he is rated by military experts as one of the greatest com manders the world has known. If 3K H Hp! Lieutenant Lee inherits his military skill there will be no question about his chances of being rated a military genius. Major William Fitzhugh Lee Simpson, a grand-nephew of General Robert K. Lee, recently died while on duty in France, according to a confirmed report received here. Major Simpson was in charge of the American school of ma chine gun fire in France. No particu lars of his death except that it was due to appendicitis, have been received. Major J. C. Vincent shares with Major Hall the distinction of creating the famous Liberty motor that is expected to prove an important factor in winning the war for Uncle Sam. Major Vincent declares that the Liberty motor is the most powerful engine ever manufac tured. Though he refused to state its horsepower in definite figures, he did go so far as to say that it is far more powerful than any other motor ever constructed or even contemplated. Con trary to common belief about tho new motor, it is not being used for automo biles. Major Vincent said. It is only being installed in aeroplanes, and in only those aeroplanes that are being sent abroad, not in those used for prac tice flights in the United States. Major Vincent before entering th National service was vice-president of the Packard Motor Car Company, of Detroit. His home Is also in Detroit. ... Colonel Edwin Jadwin, of the Na tional Army, now in command of one of the engineer regiments in France, disregarded War Department red tape, formalities and regulations to get his troops over to France fully equipped for work. The record made by Colonel Jadwin in getting his men speedily ady for service and the efficiency of his work has already been the subject of widespread comment in Army circles. It develops now that the reason for his success was primarily due to tho fact that lie ignored red tape incumbrances which are required legally by the pres ent system. It will be for Secretary Baker to decide whether Colonel Jadwlu is to escape the remonstrance that at taches to his course or whether he will be commended for his initiative aud his success. Colonel Jadwin organized and equipped his regiment without waiting for assistance from the War Depart ment, as soon as it became apparent to him that supplies and equipment were in confusion. He cut the red tape and the countless formalities for such cir cumstances were swept by the hoards.

Sh was head of the woman's loan com mittee which showed the women of the country that th sal of bonds was just aa necessary as raisins; potatoes, corn and wheat. Miss Marraret Wilson. . th Presi dent's daughter, was instrumental In turning hundreds of dollars into the coffers of tho Red Cross with her sing ing.

Andre Cheradame, In the Atlantic If th blockade of Germany seriously complicates her food problems, on the other hand it Is In a way advantageous from a financial point of view. In a word, when Germany found herself blockaded She was obliged to evolv means of existing on her own re sources or those of her allies. Our enemies had great difficulties of or ganization to overcome, but they turned them to good account, for, if Germany's exports are small, her Im ports have been correspondingly re duced. Hence sh needs to send very little money abroad, a fact which is financially in her favor. Now the case of France ia radically- different. Th French government. feeling assured of the liberty of the seas and believing that the war would be a short one, found it more expedi ent to place enormous orders abroad than to rely on domestic resources to supply the nation's need. As a result. French Imports, according to published statistics, exceed exports by 1.000.000.- OoO francs a month. This means that.' offerings. as things stand now, France must pay upon whoso Bhoulders most of the re- to foreign countries the staggering- sponsioimy auu uiu ox sum of 12.000.000.000 francs a year, lay. and under cis airecuon me iavor wlth no corresponding compensation, ite Massenet ooera will have Garden since her purchases consist of products and Dalmores of the original cast, while which ar destroyed in use.

Among the entertainments originally scheduled for Monday night is the sec ond performance of Mascagni's "Lodo letta." in which Caruso had a sensa tional success as its premier under Robert Moranzoni a week ago. Other wise It ran directly Into the Tuesday night opening of the Chicago Opera As sociation at the Lexington, when Mary Garden and Muratore were heard in Monna Vanna." " - Max Rosen, the young violinist, lat est of the Leopold Auer product, wh has created a stir in musical circles as soloist with til Philharmonic Orches tra. and also at the Metropolitan, was announced for his first recital in Car negie Hall Monday afternoon. A Red Cross benefit was announced by the Volpe Symphony Orchestra in Aeolian Hall, with Marie Volpe, Mil tonella Keardsley" and Constance Beardsley-Eldredge as soloists. The utmost Interest has been man! tested in th forthcoming visit of the great favorite Carapanlni with some artists who have been deeply admired and others in whom much interest has been aroused. Repertory as well as ar tiata has served to whet the appetite of the opera-goers of New York, and there is no doubt that whenever the first performance will be given. New York will rise to its fullest demonstration of appreciation of the visiting organiza tion. As the matter now stands, lues day evening Campanini himself will onduct Fevrler s setting or the famous Maeterlinck "Monna Vanna," which, with Mary Garden in the title role, the me conductor presented upon ono oc casion In New York during a short set- rles of Tuesday night performances given at the Metropolitan. Miss Gar en will have as her companions Mura tore, who was also heard before in this opera, and George Baklanoff, the Rus- ian baritone, who nas Deen a memoer the Boston Grand Opera Company, will sing the role formerly done by Vanni Marcoux. Gustav Huberdeau. an old favorite with Manhattan grand nera audiences, will have a role in this performance.

Combinations of Materials Seen. In waists, as In dresses, combina tions are used, says the Dry Goods Economist. Thus we find a beige crepe de chine blouse made with a high col lar of brown and yellow plaid gingham. A wide frill in the front of the blousa Is piped, with the gingham and the turned-back cuff ar made or the same cotton- array, where ne is winning as many laurels as he did when he was one of the greatest idols the musical world has ever known. Friday evening the first ' and only performance of Mascagni's "Isabeau" will be given. This will be remembered as the opera planned for production at the Century Opera House when it was under the direction of the Liebler Com pany. Bessie Abbott was to have had the title role, which proved to be such a successful one for Rosa Raisa when it had its first American performance on the opening nltrht of the season in Chicago. With Raisa, the Italian tenor, Crvmi, and the baritone, Rimini, will also be heard, and this will offer the first opportunity to hear Carolina Laz- zari. a brilliant young American con tralto, whose principal studies were made in New York under William S. Brady and whose success in Chicago brought to her unstinted praise from all the noted critics on the daily papers. Saturday afternoon "Romeo and Juliet" has been selected as the medium in which to present Genevieve Vix. the French lyric soprano, who will have Muratore and Maguetat as companions. Saturday night, at popular prices, Campanini will otter "Azora," the first opera by . an American, Henry Hadley. This will bring back in the commanding position which she deserves Anna Fitziu. whose rise in the operatic world has been one of the. most romantic stories among the artiws of any coun try. Miss Fitziu was chosen to create the leading soprano part of "Goyescas" when it had its first production on any stage at the Metropolitan in the pres ence of its composer, the late Enrique Grenados. Struggling with a role which gave her almost no opportunity, she still established herselt an artist oc unique characteristics. Thousands of persons had one oppor tunity to measure more nearly her ca pacity when she appeared as "Nedda in one of the open-air performances given in the Stadium of the NeiauYork University. Many declared that no fin er "Nedda" had ever been heard, which she proved beyond question to the au diences of Mexico and Chicago later. Coming into her full glory as a sing ing actress. Miss Fitzu added the title role of Henry Hadley's opera to an ex traoridnary "Tosca," which rivaled the impersonation of any of her colleagues of the role. On Saturday night Misa Fltzlu's companions will be tho young American tenor, Forrest Lamont, Cyr eroa Van Gordon, Arthur Middleton and others. . . . It ia a strange coincidence that at this time, when Campanini is return ing with what - practically was built upon Oscar Hammerstein's foundation, that great old favorite with artists and public is lying critically ill in the Ger man hospital. It was necessary to op erate upon Mr. Hammerstein's left foot for an ulceration, said to be superin duced by diabetes. It is hoped that he will regain his strength and return to his activities in which neither he nor the public has ever lost interest. this country by that composer-conductor, which could hardly have been des ignated as a success. Since then the Italian's skill has been shown through some presentations of 4'Irls" and through countless ones of the old favo rite, if a bit lurid. "Cavalleria Rusti cana." Whether "Lodoletta." at the Metropolitan, and "Isabeau," at the Lexington, will prove greater master pieces than the time-worn and time honored "Rustic Chivalry" remains to be found out. - The opera heard- at the Metropolitan had the advantage of supplying Caruso with a role in which his success was phenomenal and which brought tho realization to hundreds that the great tenor has lost nothing in beauty of voice and charm and has gained tre mendously in art and dramatic skill. It is of interest to not that in this opera he had one of the most effec tive of his successes in Buenos Aires this Summer. Geraldine Farrar had somewhat less opportunity than many of her roles have given her, but it is likely that the second presentation of this work will bring out many details naturally lost in the excitement of a first production. Caruso is obviously not fatigued by the season's work, as in addition to the above appearance he will appear in "Sa-msoa and Delilah" with Mme. Matzenauer in the companion title role Wednesday evening, and on Saturday afternoon he will sing Canio with Amatio and Muzio in "Pagllaccl," to bs iven jointly with "L'Oracolo," in which Scotti's impersonation has again " thrilled the operagoers to the last degree.

Mascagni has not had such an array of performances since the tour mad in RAINFALL WOT EFFECTED San Spots Discussed by Mount Wil son Astronomer. 8 AN FRANCISCO, Jan. 26. That the frequency of spot on th sun has nothing to do with the amount of rain fall in California was the conclusion of Dr. Charles B. St. John, of the Mount Wilson Solar Observatory after he had shown to an audience in the Native Sons' Hall a comparison of the sun spots and rainfall records of the last 70 years. The lines Dr. St John had plotted on charts to show the increase and decrease in styi spots and California rainfall from decade to decade had lit tle in common, he pointed out. Some times the rainfall has been greatest when th spots have been most numer ous, but just as often it has been th other way. In the present season, he said, sun spots are at a maximum, but rain in California la conspicuously ab sent. Dr. St. John's lectur was the second in tbe free popular course In astron omy, made possible by the generosity of Adolto Stahl. He described the sun as a super-heated ball, twice as hot at its outer surface as the greatest heat man has ever been able to produce, and with an interior heat beyond all imagination. How this enormous heat Is kept up the leeturer said he did not know. Some of it, ho said, has undoubtedly been due to slow contraction, some may possibly have been produced by the disintegration of radium. No radium has ever been found in the sun, he said, and is not likely to be discov ered, but as both helium and lead, the products of the ' disintegration of radium, have been found there, he con cluded that radium may have existed in the sun or may exist now in the deep interior, where its weight kafeps it bidden.
