Mrs. Van Orsdall conferred with the national defense committees and the United States treasury officials September 27 and 28 and urged that these smaller denominations be pro vided for. In her telegram to Secre tary McAdoo she points out that "the wage earners can then afford to come in without borrowing money to pur chase, and they will come in strong. I can appeal to 60,000 members on that basis." The Neighbors of Woodcraft will probably subscribe far 350,000 in the second Liberty bonds Tuesday.

Saturdays AbicKAUUNS FREE V-1 ORTLAND AUDIENCE GREETS'TOSCA'VITH GREATEST APPLAUSE La Scala Company Bids Fair Fully to Come Up to Glow ing Promises of Agents. By J. L. Wallin Grand opera was heard for the first me in the Auditorium Monday night and it was an auspicious occasion. Everybody must have enjoyed the per. fcrmance, for with the fall of each curtain there rose a mighty wave of applause and the artists had to ac knowledge their appreciation by bow ing graciously and low time and again. An estimate places the attendance at approximately 3500. It appears as if the La Scala Grand Opera company, whloh opened its week's season with a brilliant pro duction of Puccini's "La Tosca," Ms go tag to come up fully to all the glow ing promises of its publicity and ad vance agents and that Portland is go ing to feel it is really getting its matter's worth of what heretofore' has been a great luxury, attainable by but & comparatively few. Proves Heating Tot And here enters the one great out standing feature of tha event as it struck the great majority: In the new Auditorium Portland builded for itself a wonderfiul melting pot. Minus .iters of gUded boxes and soft cushioned loges, the severe lines of demarcation between the social sets are obliterated, for the audience was one great gather ing of people as found on the average. In the front row were laborers who had barely managed to complete their day's work in time for the rise of the curtain on the firBt act, while in the rear on the lower floor were men of prominence in evening attire and sur rounded by bejeweled femininity. And the beauty, of it. everybody seemed to think it Quite corrune il faut As for the opera performance, it was up to the minute and full width, with Ester Perrabini, dramatic soprano, in the title role; Mario Valle, baritone, as Scarpla, and Guiseppe Gaudenzi, dra matic tenor, as Mario Cavaradossi. the painter, . Verl'a 'Work Excellent But wait a moment there was an other character, usually included among me minor ones of this work of the great composer Puccini. It was that of Spoletta, the police agent. Interpreted by Arlatide Neri, a most versatile grand opera art ist, who, it is safe to wager, has been heard here more often than any otner opera singer, for to make the most of otherwise inconspicuous roles he is invariably chosen by the touring companies when available. He will appear in all of the repertoire of the week excepting "Thais," which leaves no room for the "comico." Ferrabini proved an altogether satis fying Florla Tosca, and ahould sing a splendid Carmen. Mario Valle has a luscious voice and is a splendid actor good to look upon, and Gaudenzi is one of tha beat dramatic tenors heard here for some time. He is not a stranger to Portland, however, for he has sung here with the Boston opera company as one Of its principal tenors. Chorus Zs Splendid Italo Picchi, a young basso. Bang the role of Angelotti very acceptably. While an important link in the story, the role itself dofes not give much op portunity at voice display. Tho orchestra, under the baton of Fulgenaio Ouerrierl, and augmented here to some 40 performers, did its share well and stirring effects were brought in those parts of tho score where Puccini tears at the heartstrings with tremendous climaxes. Here the basses were tremendously reinforced by the deep diapason of the auditorium pipe organ played by,. William Ii. Boone. With the principals, the chorus which by the way is a splendid one orchestra and pHpe organ, all at full force, the first act was given a close that literally made the audience sit up and take notice. Story of a Tosca "La Tosca" by Giacomo Puceini, is in three acts and was first produced in Rome at the Conftansi theatre, in January, 1900. Cesare Angelotti, a political pris oner, escapes 1n the garb of incarcera tion and takes refuge in the chapel of the church of Sant Andera alia Valle. where his sister has concealed for him woman's apparel in which he may dis guise himself. The artist. Mario Cavaradossi. is at work in the church and the refugee, recognizing him as an old friend, makes himself known. While they confer. ' Floria Tosca, the painters mistress, calls from without and Angelotti is hastily concealed, but not before Mario has managed to get into the hands of the famished man his luncheon. Florla proves the most jealous of women. She caught the sound of a whisper in the church. With diffi culty Mario convinces her of his un dying love. Floria gone, Mario lets Angelotti out of the chapel and at the same time a cannon shot at the for tress announces the discovery of the prisoner's escape. Gloria.

In the . second act Scarpia 1 earn a from Spoletta that both Florla and Mario have been followed to their villa but no trace of Angelotti can be found. Though subjected -to torture, .tha painter refuses to disclose hla friend's whereabouts. Floria appears and un der promise that Mario will be' re leased she informs Scarpia that An gelotti is bidden in a well in the gar den. -Mario Is brought in unconscious. He rouses to hear Scarpia order a search of the well, and knowing that Floria .has betrayod his friend, curses her. News comes that Napoleon has jnst conquered the Royalists, and Mario, fearlessly rejoicing in the event, is carried away to be shot. . Tosca Oeei to Mario Florla would follow but Scarpia re-! minds her that he holds Maria's Ufa in pawn. She finally" yields and hs promises a mock execution of Mario. When he comes toward her, Floria seizes a knife and stabs him to the heart, crying, "It la thus that Tosca kisses.' The third act is laid in the castle of St. Angelo. whero Mario is held prisoner. While Mario, lamenting his fate. Floria appeals with the safe con duct she has taken from Scarpia' s hands. She tells him of the killing of Scarpia and of the execution which is to be a farce. ' The jailer leads him out and Floria gives him the secret instructions. The soldiers fire, Floria noda as a signal that he must fall. As soon as she dares, she runs to tell htm to get up, but staggers back shrieking, "Mario is dead." The mob would kill Floria for killing Scarpia. She springs to the parapet of the terrace and, call ing upon Mario to meet her in heaven, leaps to her death. r Morgana to Bin?

J The principal address was delivered by Mr. Irvine, who roused the audience to enthusiasm by his forceful and elo quent appeal to those who remain at home to stand back of the boys who have gone to the front as greatest of all "Liberty loans" on the part of their mothers.

Baker, Or., Oct. 1 At an enthusl astic Liberty loan meeting here Mra. Alexander Thompson of The Dall and former Senator William Sm'.t'a were the speakers. They are at Halnca today. Mrs. -Thompson concluded her ap peal thus "Let us not falter in our determina tion to win and end this war and tne sooner we begin, the sooner peace will be brouaht about. There are two things needed to win wars money and men. Oregon has more volunteers than any other state in the Union 8000 of them. Our soldiers must be fed. clothed and armed. It Is up to J the people of Oregon to volunteer with our dollars as our men nave volun teered with their lives. To send men without the means of fighting is to send thero to death and defeat. "But the people of Oregon are nt going to do this we are going to reach our allotment of the second Liberty loan just as we have led every other state in the Union in sending our men. We know that these sons of Oregon have the old American flghi ing spirit and the backing of our money will carry them through until they bear the Stars and Stripes into the very heart of Berlin. "We owe it to our men to Hack them with our money to the last dollar and we owe It to our brave allies with whom they are fighting shoulder to shoulder. "The more money we eend the leas bloodshed there wil be, and remember this the man who goes to the front and does your fighting for you is do ing infinitely more for his country than any of us who stay at home and draw interest on our Liberty bonds." Argentine Strike Is At Decisive Stage Buenos Aires, Oct. li. (I. N. S.) The great Argentine strike reached a decisive stage today as a result of the government decree commanding the railroad companies and their employes to resume service before midnight. In the event of failure to do so the gov ernment threatens drastic measures. It ia understood that the locomotive drivers are willing to accept conces sions, but about 80 per cent of the union workman reject this program and are taking steps to obtain the sup. port of the provincial locals. The unionists threaten a general strike if the government uses force to restore railway service. Illustrative of the spirit of the strikers, about 3000 of them at Tall eres, while under fire from troops, destroyed railway ' traeks and signal cabins, meanwhile carrying banners displaying the picture of President Irigoyen.
