American oiris Win.

The number OF American girls who
are now holding important positions
in French opera has caused no little
discomfort among the Paris public.
Not that there Is any personal preiu-
dice against Americans but simply
because It is considered that French
artists should have the first showing
where engagements at their national
theaters are concerned. Yet It Is I'M
questionable that voices are beginning
to be scarce In France. whereas Am-
erica is advancing steadily as tho
country for good material which re-
quires only classical training abroad
to develop all the qualities necessary
for operate success.

A Minority ~ the Delegates who Favor

The prevalence throughout South

hardly based on solid facts. The pro-
traction Of the conference at veernig-

The delegates to the conference,
although they have abandoned their
hope Of securing independence, still
have many points OF difference with
the government, while an obstinate
minority continues to regard the re-
sumption OF hostilitles as the best out

any moment these points Of difference
may be accentuatcd into refusal TO
continue the negotiations.
