20,000 GERMANS WBRE
KILLED IN T.O DAYS
French HaveAlso Lost Heavily;
Tide of Battle Seems to
Be About Even.
(By United Press)
Paris, April 11-. It is officially esti
mated that the German losses at Ver
dun are more than two hundred thou
sand. The Verdun line still held today
under the most tremendous blows of
history. Wave after wave of Germans
were thrown against the line on a six
mile front northwest of Citadel.
Twenty thousand Germans were killed
and wounded in two days. French
losses are admittedly heavy. It is an
nounced that three German corps lost
half of their strength since beginning
the battle. Attacking with liquid fire
the Germans captured fragments of
trenches on the ridge east of Dead
man's Hill last night. Elsewhere they
were repulsed. Bloody fighting re
sulted in the Teuton attempt to re
capture lost ground south of Douau
niont. They were heavily checked, and
thrown into disorder. The artille'ry
prevented the use of flame throwers
there. Terrific bombardment thunder
ed at Dououmont, Vaux, and Woevre
all night. Artillery and infantry fire
routed the .Germans, dehpnehing from
Crows Wood.
The Germans reported a British
grenade attack south of Steli. and
claim the attackv was repulsed.
Rerlin. Anril 11. Thirty-six thou
sand Frenchmen have been captured
since the beginning of the Verdun at

the west bank of the Meuse the Ger
mans captured ten square miles of
territory, and a larger area on the east
bank. Countering the French state
ments that the evacuation of Bethin

REAL ARTIST IS
VISITING ALBANY
Madama Leonore Gordon Foy,
With International Reputation
Is Guest of Cousin.
CONCERT TO BE GIVEN HERE
WEDNESDAY IS RARE TREAT
Madame Foy Has Sung In the
Greatest Operas of Europe
and This Country.
Judging from the advance sale of
tickets Albany people do not realize
that on Wednesday evening at the
First Presbyterian church there will
be heard an artist of international re
pute, and that a musical treat of most
unusual merit will be presented when
Madame Leonore Gordon Foy, late
of the Paris and Metropolitan Grand
Opera companies appears in concert.
The. sale up to this morning was dis
tressingly discouraging and decidedly
disappointing to any artist.
First let me tell you about a de
lightful little viit I had with Madame
Foy this morning. I took the liberty
of calling on this noted singer, who is
visiting her cousin in this city, Mrs.
Anna Hunt, and asked for an inter
view. Madame Foy is a delightful wo
man to talk to and has a most win
ning personality. It is this charminff
personality which she throws into
her work, coupled with a beautiful,
'well trained and controlled voice,
which has won for her her place in
the musical world. Mme. Foy studied
and did her first work in Germany,
aiid Austria," and "sings" in six differ
ent languages.
"I think your climate here is won
derful," said Mine. Foy, in opening
Tier interview. "It is such a contrast
with what I have been through the
past few months. I have been living
with my husband in North Dakota,
where he was sent for his health, and
.while it is cold there it is so dry that
we do not notice it. Anxious to keep
up my concert work and to take a
rest from a breakdown which I suf
fered last fall from over-doing,-1 de-.
tided to take a leisure trip to the
coast, down to California and east to
New York and then home again. Un
fortunately, I have struck the worst
kind of weather, and you may rest
'assured tfiat these mild, spring Wil
lamette valley days appeal strongly
to me. You have a beautiful little
city here, and I don't know but that
I would like living here myself.
"That I am here now is due to my
cousin, Mrs. Hunt, who came to Port
land while I was visiting some of my
old friends in the Boston Grand Op
era Co. and insisted that I come up
to Albany for a visit. It was good
to see former co-workers again. I
sang with Martin, in the Metropolitan
company in New York. One meets
artist friends all over the country.
"Yes, I like concert work so much
better than grand opera. While there
is something about the opera that is
fascinating and holds you once you
are in it, it is very hard work and is
wearing on the artist. But 1 like con
cert work better. It allows for more
individuality. In opera your work is
all cut out for you, the orchestra and
everything is madc-to-order and all
you have to do is to follow instruc
tions of the director. If you come up
to his fancy and have the constitution
to stand the hard work you make
good. If not out you go.
"Concert work is so much more ar
tistic. It allows for your own ex
pression and permits one to show ver
satility. In opera one may never sing
but few roles, while in concert there
is no limit except the capacity of the
artist, to the field that may be cov
ered. It is so much more refreshing
because you are not tied to one line
all the time.
"I am out of grand opera for good,
but cannot think of giving up my con
cert work entirely. When my present
trip is over I am going to rush back
to Fargo where my husband is and
spend as much time with him as possi
ble. I detest hotel life and want to
get it over with as soon hs possible."
Madame Foy has a decided domes
tic inclination and seems to greatly
