for the purpose Of personally pleading

THE DANCES OF RUSSIA
Nine. SidoWa Finds Them Yield

The Russian-American terpsichorean al
lance is strengthened each day Ameri-
cans have been wont to look upon the land
Of Ivan Ivanovitch as the modern cradle
of the dance. and the very name Of Rus
sian ballet appears 10 have been Of magic

Russian 10 give the retort courteous, and
10 declare that there are in Russia at pres
ent two schools and that one Of these has

II was Nine. Julie Sidowa, Of the Rus
sian Imperial Ballet, which is to appear
this season at the Metropolitan Opera
House. who made the foregoing statement
TO Tribune reporter last week in her
apartment at the Hotel Navarro. Nine.
Sidowa FASTENED TO explain that she was
not OF Miss Duncan's school, but OF the
older or italian school. modified by France.
Nine. Sdowa is making her first appear
ance in this country. having for the last
three years been premiere danseuse or the
Imperial Ballet in st. Petersburg. She is
blonde OF the type common among North
crn Russians, with her hair done closely
about her head and then coiled tightly
about back Of the ears in the fashion that
unpoetic America has dubbed small braids,"
hut that in Miss Sidowa's case deserve
another and more imaginative epithet. And
the fair dancer is more than enthusiastic
about America. and, strange 10 say,
large part of her enthusiasm is due TO the
fact that she found American women wear
ing their hair in much the same fashion as
does she.
Eyes. I love America" she said in
Paris none wear their hair as do, but IN
New York It is different. I am no longer
stared at I am I'm fact. quite in the fash
ion. II was like going back home"
Then Mime. Sidowa began TO talk OF
dancing.
You know there are two schools OF
dancing in Russia-the French. or old
Italian. 10 which belong. and the Isadora
Duncan Dharglieff and Fokine are the
chief opponents OF the latter. and IL their
ballet, which has recently been appearing
I'm Paris and London. had come TO the
Metropolitan. as originally planned, they
would simply be returning to the country
where they learned their art. Mile. Karsa-
VIVA is entirely OF the Duncan school. and
though Mr.. Nijinski is not. he has TO dance
I'm that fashion while he is under Fokine's
direction"
what is the difference" asked the re-
porter.
Miss Sidows jumped quickly 10 her feet
lifted her dress to her boot tops and turned
IN her toes.
This is the Duncan dance" she said.
The whole ballet must dance ahke-toes
in There is little individuality allowed the
dancer, though the dance makes a perfect
whole. But 1t lacks variety. There are only
a few movements. and 10 me IT is no
where nearly as expressive. This is the
French school"
And the dancer turned out her toes and
went skipping about the stage like ball

But Of all the great emirs and sultans

among the Western powers Russia had

possible that the people of Europe would
look To the Car with reverence and
affection which they are far from feeling
for him now. and would recognize in him
their champion and their representative,
in spite Of all their sneers to-day at
what they denounce as his semi-barbar-
Gus government? This analogy, if per-
haps farfetched. will enable the readers
Of The Tribune to understand the sentl-

FoREWARNED MONTHS AGO.

Two months ago il was matter OF
gossip in the various diplomatic chan
ceHeries Of Europe that the patience of
Italy in her dealings with the Porte had
become completely exhausted and that
armed action was impending. The Brit
ish government. indeed, had knowledge
thereof last summer when il suddenly
appointed Field Marshal Lord Kitchener
10 the post Of its plenipotentiary in
Egypt. At the time l predicted in these
letters that his nomination to the Egyp-
tan mission meant that grave events
were about to happen in that part of the
world. since otherwise King George who
entertains a very warm personal regard
and friendship for the Field Marshal,
would never have given his sanction to
the appointment of the man who is
Justly regarded throughout the British
Empire and abroad as the foremost and
most brilliant commander and principal
military expert of his country to fill
what appeared on the surface a mere
diplomatic mission; nor would Kitchener
himself have accepted the office If it had
been intended that he should do nothing
more than fulfil the duties performed by
his civilian predecessor, the late Sir
Eldon GOrst.
AS soon as ever Great Britain became
aware that Italy had I'm view the seizure
Of Trpoli at the end Of September she
realized at once that, coming so soon
after Frances capture Of the Moorish
capital of Fee and the military occupa-

ton throughout the Moslem world. espe-
ciary when taken in conjunction with
the fact that Persia has now been
