ADJUSTMENTS
At the Opera House

laugh minute might we'll describe
the amusement and humor that the bill
for the last three days of this week at
the Opera house furnished for the large
audiences that turned out Thursday aft
ernoon and evening to see an excellent
show. Seldom has quartet of such
rare ability as Circle Comedy Four fur
nished such well-balaneed combination
of harmony and laughter. They have a
line of talk that is new and entertaining
and full of clever witticisms. King and
Lowell. two natives of Australia, have an
act that is novelty. The female men,
Der of the couple gives some good imita-
tons of English theatre life. and besides
having good voices they add an unusual
finish to their act by giving the native
dances Of the South Sea islanders in the
original costumes. They carry special
scenery and their act was well received.
Frank Long, a blackface comedian, is a
good dancer and has a funny little skit
into which he works a bagpipe selection
and bazoo solo. The pictures were
some of the latest Lubin and Selis pro-
auctions and included the first pictures
of the armies in the great European war.

FOREST NOTES

AS many as II different kinds Of
wood are used in the manufacture of
umbrella handles, canes and whips in
this country.
Authentic records show that cinders,
from forest fire in the tree tops in
northern Washington this fall. were
carried a distance of 20 miles.
According to the latest available fig
ures, Pennsylvania stands fifth in the
production of wood pulp, and is second
to West Virginia in the amount of
slabs and other sawmill waste used
for pulp; Maine stands third.
The better wood engravings are
made almost exclusively of lockwood,
and the large blocks are made of small
pieces glued together. The engraving
is done across the end of the grain.
japanese wood prints. on the other
hand, are made on lengthwise sections
of cherry wood parallel to the grain.
Throughout the national forests the
rangers are posting the, roads with
permanent guide signs which tell dis
tances and directions. especially at
forks and crossroads. The signs are
usually put up in the winter when
other work tends to be light. On some
forests the rangers go on snowshoes,
dragging loaded sleds and nail the
signboards to the roadside trees.

EXPECT ALLIES IN BRUSSELS
). WITHIN A M0NTH-MASS
!, !. OF ASSERTIONS VERY VAGUE

in any stage of the war thus far. Every
foot of the battle-ground in West Flan-
ders is contested. Every village is taken
and re-taken. The rush tactics which
characterized the first part of the cam
paign are being repeated and both sides
claim that they regularly repulse these
onslaughts.
Judging from the French official COM
munication the Allies have acquired
holding habit which was lacking in the
earlier stages OF the war when they were
admittedly in stage of unpreparedness.
The reticence of the German intelligence
department, however, largely battles the
attempts of unbiased observers to guage
the actual situation, which, when Berlin
is heard from, may assume an entirely
different aspect.
A rumor comes from Ostend by way of
Holland that the Allies have succeeded
in blowing up the railroad between
Bruges and Client. 1t is quite possible. 1t
is stated here, that cavalry scouts al
ready are in that vicinity. Stories differ
as to the fact of Prince Macmillan OF
.iesse, whose body is reported to have
been found in northern France by French
troops. A later report from Berlin says
that the prince was wounded.

WIENER is WELL ABLE
To Give Harvard tho $10,00o,000 He
Now Threatens to Withdraw

Capt. Clarence Wiener, formerly of
Philadelphia but now of England,
friends in Philadelphia declare, is
we'll able to give Harvard University
the $10,000.000 which he says he has
bequeathed to the university in his
will, but which he threatens to divert
to other channels unless Prof. Hugo
Munsterberg is dropped from the
faculty.
AS to whether the s10,0oo,0 900 bequest
is in the will, Henry j. Scott, the
Philadelphia attorney who drafted the
document and who knows its contents,
would throw no light. He said 1t
would be unprofessional for him to
discuss 1t at all. A glance at Capt.
wieners career, however. shows that
he has been the possessor Of great
wealth since the death Of his father.
Heinrich Wiener, grandfather of
Capt. Wiener was one of Philadel-
phia's wealthiest citizens when he
died in the sos. He left an estate
valued at $S0OO.000. to which his son
Lewis. the father of Capt. Wiener,
succeeded.
Lewis, who was a member Of the
Union League, Rittenhouse and other
Philadelphia clubs and prominent also
in New York, died in 1885, leaving the
greater part of his estate to his only
son, the present Capt. Wiener, who
then was about Is or 16 years old.
After his father had left him the bulk
of his wealth and left the widow
s250.o0O young Wiener cut a wide swath
in sporting circles abroad, keeping a
~, 80 nd
tomobiles.
Early in 1908 he was established at
Vienna. where he was conducting ne
gotiations with the Austrian Govern
ment looking to the purchase of his
patents on heavy ordnance which he
had invented. He built palatial
houseboat large enough to carry a
motor car and horses and carriages.
In this he travelled in state down the
Danube, creating a sensation In Serv-
la and Rumania, where nothing of the
kind before had been seen.
His title of captain was given him
by the British government for gallant
ry in action while serving in Brit
ish regiment In the Boer War. Pre-
viously he had served with the United
states troops in the Spanish American
War. He is a graduate of Harvard.
He lived at 1880 Spruce street, Phila-
delphia, with his mother until 1899,
when she was married to Won Gaertner
by the Archbishop of Canterbury. On
his mothers death in 1905 he asked for
an accounting from Won Gaertner and
the charges followed. He has lived
abroad, but lie remembered by many
here.
He is a student of military matters
and has a number Of military inven-
tons to his credit. 1t is said by for
mer acquaintances in Philadelphia
that he has realized large sums from
some of these. The amount Of his in
heritance. coupled with money earned
in this and other ways, they say
made it seem that his fortune is large
enough to make a $l0.o0O.000 bequest
thing worth while.
