The two beautiful young daughters
OF wealthy Cadillac real estate deal
err, Miss Claire, age IS, and Miss ALI
cia Won Klies-Thorpe, age is. are ap-
pearing in Detroit IN the Frontenac
cafe the first two weeks OF January
as interpretative classic, costume and
society dancers. This is the first pub
lie appearance of these talented young
ladies.
Mr.. Thorpe's great desire for some
time has been that his charming
daughters become classic dancers OF
note. and they have been living In
New York city for number or years
taking instruction under the most IA
nous dancing masters of Europe and
America. The leading authorities on
classic dancing believe that the two
young ladies will fulfill the ambitions
OF themselves and their father.
"The Water Nymph," TO music by
Nevin. danced by Miss Alicia, is one
of the most artistic numbers on the
program, and Maid of Honor" Po-
lish Characteristic dance given by Miss
Claire, entities the young lady TO the
most favorable criticism. Jean and
Jeanette" classic couple dance by
Miss Alicia and Miss Claire, is the
final number.

The French artillery has silenced
the enemy along the Aisne as well

Along the line or the allied left

II is believed by the military ex-
perts here that the present fighting
along the line from the Argonne

dealing with the question of deprecia.
ton has not yet been able to estab-
fish any standard OF depreciation.
I'm Cleveland, the street railways
were under attack by the authorities
for many years in consequence of
which Its property became very much
run down, and in that condition It
was appraised I'm 1909 at final figure
Of more than twenty-four millions OF
dollars. which was claimed bv the
owners OF the property to be nearly
five million dollars less than its value.
Such prominent men as Judge Tayler,
Judge Croft, A. Is. dupont and Hon.
Tom l.. Johnson were in control OF
the appraisal for the city, and some
OF those connected with the work
have since frankly admitted that the
contention of the owners was correct.
Prof. Bemis had an active part In the
Cleveland appraisal, and, after the
figures had been agreed upon by
Judge Tayler as the final arbiter.
Prof. Bemis suggested reduction of
almost five millions of dollars. this
difference representing the difference
between the theory OF Prof. Bemis
and the theory of the other experts.
Prof. Bemis' suggestion was not ac-
cepted.
The Detroit properties OF today are
maintained at a high standard, while
those of Cleveland, at the time OF the
appraisal. were at very low stand
ard. At that Time about 25 per cent
of the Cleveland tracks were on con.
crete foundations. whereas about 95
per cent of the tracks in Detroit are
on concrete foundations. Like differ-
ences extend TO practically all fea.
lures of the property. In cleveland
the appraisers allowed the cost OF
paving as a proper charge" -

last SO hours. The Germans, operat-
ing with veteran sappers, succeeding
in demolishing French caissons In the
region between Beaumetz and Achi-

molish line OF German trenches at
Parvillers and in the Forest OF Selle.
1t was admitted today that on New
Years eve the Germans attacked In

battle line but the war office insists
that they were everywhere repulsed.
The violent artillery duel continues
