tions.

Secretary, OF the Treasury McAdoo
and the Federal Reserve Board are ad-
vised today that all reserve banks are
ready for the opening of the new bank

business with the opening of the week.
NO ceremonies will mark the inaugu-
ration of the new system. Secretary
-McAdoo will make a statement on Mon

Will be no formalities.
The Treasury Department expects
that. with the opening Of the new sys-
TEN, there will be q rapid lessening of

IRISH TROUBADOUR
FILLS THE THEATER

John Mccormack, tenor. performed
the extraordinary yesterday in his re-
cital at the National.
In 4 city noted for scant audiences at
recitals, the Irish artist drew crowd
ed house. Such a demonstration is ex-
planned partly by the personality of the
singer, but there is another reason.
He is a troubadour; he sings to people
and not necessarily nor primarily to
musicians: he sings in English, and
gives without any restraint the best
that there Is in him OF music and
drama. and there is much of each.
The great mass of peopie-the people
who, after all. are the ones who can
fill up theater 70 the very doors-want
to understand what is being sung TO
them. They wan: to hear the words.
American-0Orn people are not natural
linsuists, and while they may have
some knowledge Of French or German
or Italian, nine-tenths Of them do not
understand songs when given in any
one Of these tongues.
McCormack cannot sing German,
therefore his American audiences are
going TO have the benefit Of hearing
German songs in English. and English
which is plainly understood and duly
appreciated. Whether the songs lose
by their translation, and whether or
not 1t is beneath the dignity of a great
artist to sing an entire program in
English is matter for discussion
among the experts. In the meantime,
John Mccormack sings TO packed
houses.
As assisting artist. Donald McBeatil,
an Austrian violinist. was heard in
several numbers. While mis- work was
marked by no mastery display of tone
or technique. perhaps due TO the nature
of the numbers chosen, poetic vision
and delicacy OF charm made the last
two numbers most musical.
McCormacks first number. ''Ah,
Moon of Ny Delight from Lehnsn's
In Z Persian Garden" was followed
by HUGO Wolfs ''Nerborsenbe
gwen in English. A group Of three
songs OF different natioDalitIes were

that audiences desire 1t.

through the line of the British at three
points. have been driven back and suf-
fered severe losses, according to the
latest communication issued by the Of
fetal Press Bureau.
The communication says:
"A very severe attack against the por-
ton of tie line held by the First Army
Corps before Ypres was delivered on
Wednesday by the Prussian Guard
Corps. The enemy made an especial
effort on this occasion to break the line,
which they hoped already, had been
weakened by attacks of infantry. The
facts briefly are as follows:
Our troops were subjected to the
heaviest bombardment that we have vet
experience, from dawn for three hours.
assault in force carried out by the First
and Fourth Brigades of the Prussian
Guard Corps.s It Is understood that
these picked troops had been brought
up specially to act against us in order
to force their way through at points
where previous efforts made by the in
fantry Of the line had failed.
The attack was pressed with the
greatest bravery and determination.
Owing to the gallantry Of our troops and
their splendid resistance against great
odds, the attempt to penetrate to ypres
was repulsed, but the weight Of the
enemy's advance enabled them to break
through our lines at three points. They
were, however, hurled back and prevent
ed from gaining further ground
"An immense loss has been inflicted on
the Germans, 700 of their dead having
been found On the ground behind our
front trenches alone. The casualties scf-
fered by them in advancing UP to our
lire under direct and enfiladed fire must
have been enormous. Our casualties also
were heavy. .a. - ...
The action Of our troops on this, as
we'll as on previous occasions, cannot be
