BIG CHANGE IN
PARIS ART LIFE
HUNDRED OF THE
TWO THOUSAND STUDENTS ARE
NOW AT THE FRONT.

Paris, Dec. 25.-The change in art
life in Paris is almost incalculable. At
the National School of the beaux Arts

the allied armies. Four of the pro-
fessors are also at the front, Brandon,
Mason, Marcek and Leroux.
The closing of the Louvre, the Lux
embourg and other museums; the can
ceiling of many important exhibitions
during the winter; the suspension OF
the classes in many of the large acade-
mics besides the Beaux Arts: the de-
parture of nearly ninety per cent. of
the French artists who are now under
arms and the disappearance of thous-
ands of other artists of every nation
aHty are some of the consequences Of
the war upon this phase of life in Paris.
Among the first of the Beaux men

MUSIC HALL IS

BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

New York, December 25.-The AL
lies Music Hall' is aalf mile behind
the French firing line, near Dixmude,
in the first barn on the right. 1t is
devoted to variety, exclusively, but
the performances are not guaranteed
to be continuous The directors re-
serve the right to interrupt CT change
the program and substitute artists
without notice Reasons for this pre-
caution are obvious to anyone who
has heard the German Shells go
screeching through the air over the
barn.
A candle here and there. stuck on
a bayonet, does as well as it can IN
the place of calcium lights, and am

to arrange them, make a very good
stage.
The performance begins soon after
the relief of the guard in the trenches.
The troupe, as we'll as the audience,
IS composed of allies" of all colors;
British, French, Canadians, Moors,
Si<hs, TIindoos, Algerians, Sengalese-
generally covered with the mud Of the
trenches of Flanders. The program
consists of songs, monologues, recita-
tions and dances.
One OF the performances concluded
with the singing OF popular choruses
in French and English.
The chorus of the last song was in
terrupted by different regimentaI

KITCHENER IS
SUFFOLK MAN
WAR AND RUMoRs OF WARS
HAVE VERY LITTLE EFFECT IN
HIS ANCESTRAL HOME.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS

| Lakenheath. Dec. 25.-A visit to
Lakenheath, the ancestral home Of the
| Kitcheners, impressed one with the
| fact that Lord Kitchener is not an
| Irishman but a Suffolk man, and that
war and rumors Of war have very little
I significance or Importance in the free,
hard air of the English countryside.
One reaches Lakenheath from Lon
don in a couple Of hours. The village
is sleepy old Suffolk town, in the
| midst of the fens-a city of one street,
one church, one inn, one graveyard,
but with a profuslon of farm land and
farm animals, and an almost Dutch
abundance of whirring wind mills.
This is <itchener's country. For
Kitchener. like the Duke of Yelling
ton, IS called an Irishman merely by
the accident of birth He was born
in Ireland because his father happened
to be stationed there at the time. He
is really of old Suffolk yoenan stock,
as may be easily proved by pointing
to the eleven Kitchener grayestones
in the Lalzenheath churchyard
Iakenheath is hardly what one
would call an up-to-the minute town.
1t is frankly, proudly, "slow'. II talks
the Suffolk dialect. 1t shares with
thousands of exactly similar aSricul-
turaI villages in Britain a IeiSurely
contempt for what goes on in the out
side world.
In the inn, they discuss the war as
they discuss all subjects, but in a far
off, detached way There is no doubt
ing their patriotism, firm and solid,
unquestioning patriotism, and the
town has furnished its share of re-
cruits as it has for every war since
the beginning Of things.

ener graves occupy d prominent place.

they have plain messy markers at |

The first Kitcheuer's inscription is
as follows: Here lyeth the body of

an agent to ye Honble Sir Nicholas
Stuart, Bart, and departed this life

AMERICANS LANDED
ON LOBOS ISLAND
Huerta Protests Against Seiz-
are Of Lighthouse,

Washington, May 12.-That the oc'
cupation of Lobos island by the Unit
ed States forces under Admiral Bad
ger was justified by the rules of in
ternational procedure is the conten
tion made in answer to protests filed
in behalf OF Dictator Huerta.
1t is learned that the state depart
ment so stated to the mediators who
transmitted a protest from Huerta
that such occupation was a violation
of the implied agreement that no hos
tile movement would be undertaken
pending the outcome of the media
tion negotiations.
Lobos island lighthouse is one OF
the navigation marks between Tam
pico and Tuxpam. 1t was seized by
Admiral Badger because he had re
ceived information that ii was to be
destroyed by Mexicans.
The United States takes the posi-
tion that this was not an act of ag
gression.
Huert's protest, however. has dem
onstrated that the dictator is deter
mined to take advantage of every op
portunity to accuse the United States
of bad faith before the mediators. BY
so doing officials here believe Huerta
will be able to accuse the mediators
of discriminating against him should
he decide later to withdraw from the
conferences.

FUNSTON DENIES REPORT
Says American Lines at Vera Cruz
Have Not Been Extended.

Vera Cruz, May Republication in
Mexico City papers of statement by
General Banquet, minister of war,
that the Americans already have brok-

lines and scouting, has caused Briga
dier General Funston to notify Wash
ington that there is no truth in this
report.
Scrupulous care has been taken not
to exceed the orders of the war de.
partment regarding the advancing of
lines. even though a very slight ex-
tension would be of great advantage
in enabling the city to procure a
much needed increase in garden and
dairy products.
Recently it has been somewhat
easier for farmers to bring their
produce into the city, as the close
watch that was originally kept on
them by the federal soldiers has been
relaxed But bands of irregulars
have been interfering seriously with
them in certain districts.
Rob Milk Vendors.
Francisco Vargas, leader of one of
these bands, entered the city and was
promptly arrested. Vargas is a rich
ranch owner, who recently organized
a band of forty men. This band has
been patroling the country between
the American and Mexican lines and
robbing venders of milk, vegetables
and other products.

for OBTAINING six railway men, who
three times have attempted to leave
