Made1noisee Louise La Cal, drectress of dancing
in last summers session of the University of California,
was prior to her adoption of America as her home,
member of the French national opera ballet The
panyng extracts from her routnes therefore represent
essentially the traditions of ballet dancers in all
parts of the Occdent, since the French academy is
the model upon which Others have founded their sys

tons of style and grace. In respect only those

as the step is "beaten'
to the front or side. Each
beat begins and ends at
the same point.
The beat of the whole
leg naturally cannot have
such lightning rapidity as
a beat executed by the
lower leg only. Never
theless the grand bate

stands for lightness. The
dancer cultivates the ap-
pearance not of raising
the foot from the floor,
but of releasing it. At

If you find that it hurts, there may be comfort in the
fact that muscles and gaments trained daily for years
do not really relish this medicine until after they are

YOU come upon of the concrete subjects OF con-
troversv between the classic French-1taan ballet on
one side and the other schools more or
less influenced by Isadora Duncan.
The arguments the turned-out foot, "toe work,
mathematical precision of movement and other articles
of creed are many and long The Russian ballet settles
the matter by acquiring all the training and traditions
of the classic which traditions they observe ignore
in performance according the interests of expression
They add the free expression of the individual empera

OF the several steps of the "beating' type the most

be worth mentioning that the word entechat corup

movement can be brought to such pitch of
speed that it conveys suggestion of the jeweled
sparkle of hunmingbird. 1t is merriment in
carnate, this little step: arranged with Others
to protect it from monotony, rapidly executed
by choral group working in unison, it ex-
presses more laughter than laugh does; that
is, if it observes tempo and form with mathe
matical precision. One of the purposes of
practice is to bring the steps always nearer to
the exactness of geometry, sweetened by re-
laxed ease of execution. The bahement follows
strictly an imaginary plane, drawn through the
body transversely or longitudinally, according

Throughout these and all other movements the

Rhythm like style, is cultivated ncessantly. 1t IS

Owing to the powerful

an accompaniment of theen-

the routine of the day de-
voted to elevation" (Which
is exactly what the word
implies). Elevation day
means an hour and aquarter
to try heart and muscles,
and fine coordination as

force, the dancers great
jumps demand catlike de-
scent to the floor, and con-

a graceful appearance of
ease. More elevation is ex-

arms outstretched on the

NUMBEROFSOLD|ERS
IN THIS GREAT WAR
ALLIES HAVE OVER TEN MILLION
MEN ENGAGED, GERMANY
AS MANY.
WILL HUMAN LIFE RUN SHORT
impossible to Put Over Tenth of Popu-
lation on to the FieId-BeIieved
Enough Men Can Be Supplied to
Be Killed Until August, 1916.

A year ago Belgium, Britain, France,
Russia and Serbia had 100000 men in
the field, Germany and Austria as
many. Those figures approximately
express the force that each belligerent
alliance may maintain. To make losses
good and expand the British army the
original allies and Italy have since put
6,350,000 men at the front and have
lost 100000, of whom 100000 are
permanent loss. Germany and Austria
have lost 6,350,000, of whom 100000
are lost permanently. The present
field forces of the allies approximate
5,250,000, those of the Austro-G Germans
100000. Colonial and native troops
of France and England are balanced
against Turks, and therefore both are
disregarded.
If expenditure continues another
year at the same rate, will the supply
of life run short?
Not more than tenth of a popula-
ton can be put into the field. Ger
many was capable of supplying $780,
600 soldiers, Austria-Hungary 100000,
France 100000. Russia can supply
100000 new men annually, England
100000 more before next August. 1t
and its allies can count on reserves OF
100000 men the coming year, Ger
many and Austria on 100000 only,
The German front in France and Bel.
GUM can not be held by fewer than
100000 soldiers, 100000 at least will
be needed against Italy and Serbia and
but 100000 remain for facing Russia
After August l, 1916, supposing Ger
many still holds out, it and Austria can
furnish an annual contingent of 1900,
900, England, France and Italy 1,150,
900 at the least and Russia alone 3,
100000.
1t is thought after next spring Ger
many can no longer keep it's forces al
their present fullness. About August
l they will have fallen to 100000
whereas those of the allies will have
risen to 100000. Before the winter
of 1867, the allies believe, Germany
will have to shorten its lines. But un
til August there will be little change
in the west and the east.

London.-The campaign in the near
east is about to enter new phase,
upon which the visit of Lord Kitche-
ner to Paris and Emperor William to
Vienna, it is believed, will have an
important effect.
Lord Kitchener, after visiting the
Balkans and Italy. has arrived at
Paris for an important series of con-
ferences with the French staff, while
the German emperor has gone to Wen
ma to see Emperor Francis Joseph and
discuss with the Austrian generals
what the move will be. Presumably
it is question whether the central
powers will attack the Anglo-French
forces in southern Serbia or concen-
trate in western Bulgaria to meet the
threat of Russian invasion from the
east and the possibility of Rumania
taking sides against her old enemies,
Bulgaria and Turkey.
So far as Serbia is concerned winter
appears virtually to have put an end
to any important movements, although
the Austrians are proceeding to deal
with the Montenegrins, whose frontier
they have crossed, while the Bulgari-
ans are attempting to advance to Pris-
rend and Monastir.
Snow has completely stopped opera
lions on the Anglo-French front in
Serbia. The opposing forces, who are
separated by valley a mile wide
have lost sight of each other.
Desperate fighting continues on the
SUBMITS around Gorilla; the Italians
claim to have captured more Austrian
trenches, but the Austrians declare
that the attacks all along the IsonzC
have been repulsed.
Artillery and aerial fighting have
marked the progress of events IL

complete lull prevails.

case, having failed to arrive in time
for the Thanksgiving trade. In grapes
the Emperor is firmer in crates az

are firmer at SC and 6QSc, while cram
berries are easier at $9.25@10.00 per
barrel and s3.25@3.5o per box. Grape
fruit is also easier at S5.75@6 per case
and ounces are of the market.
| Potatoes-There has been no change
in the price situation of the local Irish
spud market during the week, the ad-
vance noted last week being still
maintained. Sweets are a little firmer
this week at s2@2.25.
Other Vegetables-Gr beans are
off &c at SC per pound, while cauli-
| flower is firmer at $l.75@2.25 per
dozen. Celery and cabbage also are
firmer at 10000 and $1.15@1.25 per

ing a capacity of 81 tons of potatoes
per day, will be established in the

ate night and day and give employ

Wheat-Locally the wheat market
holds at about the same level as last
week, the only change being noted is
an advance of PC on club, which
makes the quotations for the week SAC
on bluestem, sic on club and 78c on
red Russian. There has been no
change in the movement situation, the
inclination to hold for better prices
still being in evidence. Eastern re-
ports noted several fluctuations in the
market during the week, caused by
various reports of probable changes
that would develop from the outcome
of projected negotiations of the differ.
ent powers engaged in the European
conflict.
Flour-Forecaste decline in the
flour market, predicted from some
quarters last week, did not materialize
and if anything there is a stronger
tone to the market at the present
time. Distributive operations hold al
about the same level as for some time
past, dealers still being inclined tC
stock up only for immediate require
ments. AS to quotations, firsts quote
at $5.25 and seconds IS.
Feed-With the opening of logging
operations the movement of hay anC
oats has been enhanced to a consider
able degree, and some lines of mill
, feed have also felt the taking on o
new business. AS to quotations, ther'
has been no changes since last report
the market seeming to be well main
