WHITE HOUSE
ENTERTAINMENT
PROGRAMS OUT

Washington. Nov 2l.-The program of
official entertainments at the White
House, which will be resumed this winter
after. lapse of a year, was announced
tonight The program shows several
changes from that of previous years, due
mostly to the European war. The series
of dinners and receptions will not begin
until Jan. after the marriage OF Presi-
dent Wilson to Mrs. Norman Gait, ana
the new mistress of the White House viii
take her place at all of them.
No New Year Fete
The big New Year reception VIII De
omitted as it has been for the past TWO
years. The President and Mrs. Gait
probably will be away on their honey
moon on that day.
The principal changes in the program
this year will be the cancelling of the
diplomatic reception and the substitution
of two diplomatic dinners for the one
usually held. This departure was decided
on because of the impossibility OF m
vitng diplomats representing the oppos-
ing nations engaged in the war to the
same dinner.
T. ]. Jusserand. the French ambassador.
dean of the diplomatic CORPS, will head
the list OF guests at the dinner attende
by representatives of the Allies. ana
Count Won Bernstorff, the German am
bassador who ranks after Ambassador
Jusserand in the diplomatic corps. will
be entitled to the seat of honor at the
other dinner.
The ambassadors and ministers rep

how the solicitors will be made has
not been settled. and IS admittedly

Lovers OF good music We're given
treat last Thursday and Fridey
evenings at the Orpheum theatre
when Miss Ragnhild Holmquist,
soprano and Miss Mathilda Hansen,
pianist, apeared in program Of
superior merit. There is no ques-
tion but that the concert given by
the two young ladies was the best
ever presented to Malta audience
and should they come this way
again next summer, as they expect
to do, they will be greeted with a
packed house
Miss Holmquist has an excellent
clear soprano voice Of a beautiful
quality and wide range. Her charm
ing way Of rendering classical and
semi-classical songs made a big hit
with the music loving people who
had an opportunity of hearing her.
Miss Holmqust's rendition of ''The
Last Rose of Summer with the aid
of the pretty electrical effects ar
ranged by the Orpheum manage
ment, was splendid and brought
forth great applause.
Miss Hanson is a concert pianist
of the first rank and her several
selections from the great masters
were rendered in a perfect and &C
complished manner. Both young
ladies have studied in Europe and
their program shows that they
have received the best training pos
sible.

level is a small fraction of per

one-third of the worlds 1914 pro-

.POWERFU LII EFFECT
 OF WAR 0N MIND Insanity and Nervous Break down Increasing Among
 English Soldiers

London. February S.-Correspondence of The Associated Press. )-The number of English soldiers and officers who have suffered nervous breakdown, more or less approaching insanity as a result of the strain of war, has shown such increase that some of the leading medical jour nals are pleading for special consideration and treatment for this class
 Some cases, says the Lancet, "are certainly hopeless. but there are others and happily these are in preponderating numbers. where there are good grounds for believing that they may again become useful citizens"
 The effects of warfare on the nervous system are more marked in the case of officers than in the case of enlisted men, the latter in many cases of trench in- sanity" recovering tone" after contin- uous sleep of from 24 to AS hours. Officers similarly afflicted are generally sent to special hospitals for rest of a week or 10 days. but if they fail to show satis- factory progress after that time they are invalided home on the ground that it is improbable that they could be again em- ployed on active service.
 ''The powerful effect which modern war fare has on the mind is shown,' writes a surgeon attached to a British ambulance, "by the dreams and nightmares which disturb soldiers sleep in dangerous posi- tions. Nervous subjects react in a most striking way to the shock of explosions in their immediate vicinity. Some develop a tendency to sleep-wallling and are found wandering about the premises with faces expressing the utmost terror and anxiety. In the soldiers dreams, the dread of los ing contact with his fellows seems to be felt with extreme frequency, and the hor- TOT of isolation constitutes the common est nightmare of men in the fighting line
 ''They dream that they are wandering through endless trenches as complicated as an artificial maze or are picking their way through lonesome forests. The slight est noise during sleep calls up visions of exploding shells or the tramp of armed men throwing them into a frenzy of shouting terror, to the indignation of their resting fellows.
 Another common night terror is the dream of a sudden call to arms and the inability to find some indispensable arti- ele of attire or armament, conception productive of intense mental agony. Live shells naturally occupy large share of the soldiers attention in dreams, and an

New Principle of French Law

Paris February 8.-(Correspondence of the Associated Press.)--By a decree appropriating $6O.OO0,0OO to be applied to individual indemnities for damage to property caused by the German occupa- ton, the French government is held to have adopted the principle of such in- demnities, though heretofore no law authorized them. Heretofore the state has declined all responsibility for dam age to private interests as the result of invasions. Excesses committed by an army were considered in the same tate- gory as losses by storm or fire. In June, when there was no thought of war; Deputy Louis Marin introduced a law recognizing the principle of na- tional responsibility for individual losses in such cases. The Chamber, however. did not consider the discus sion of this law urgent and 1t was de- ferred.
