Chicago. Jan. "a great deal Of business in
wheat on export acrount has been done in a sub
rosa manner. This is reflected in the official re-
port on holdings Of that grsin by farmers Of
Kansas. Their holdings have been reduced from
100000 bushels to 100000 bushels since NoTem-
her Il. The marketings Of the smhower State pro

howl has been heard from cash handlers and ex-
pnrters who have said all along that farmers q
Kansas have been holding their cash wheat Fancy
prices for wheat said 10 have been paid in
many instances. and high bids sent out Of the
leading markets Of late have failed to bring out
the wheat. The smaller producing States in the
Southwest said 10 have reduced their
stocks Of wheat to a minimum which means that
higher prices will have 10 be paid in order TO get
the wheat wanted.

Chicago. and the Seaboard reported only two car

Holland. Nearly all the nations Of the world are
making inquiries for breadStufs at Chicago. One
of the leading millers here says he was asked for
offer on 900 barrels Of -four or any part Of

the product. Large lots Of wheat corn, re- and
barley wanted. and foreigners are willing to
pay almost anything within the bounds Of reason.
Omaha reported bids there having been advanced

sPROSs AND MATHEW CHARM.
COmposer-Pianist and Tenor Guests
of RubInsteIn Club.

Charles Gilbert Spross. of New York,
and Joseph 'Mathieu, former Washing
tonian, were guests of the Rubinstein
Club at a recital last night at the Ra-
leigh. Mr.. Spross appeared in his double
capacity as composer and pianist. His
works shared honors equally with Wag-
ner's on the program.
The Spross arrangement of Dovorak s
"Humoresque" for chorus. known in its
new dress as "Mammy's Lullaby" so de-
lighted the audience as to Justify a repe-
tition. Five of his songs, "Ishtar." "a
Rose Garden" Yesterday and Today,
Jean and THE Wind" sung by Mr..
Matthew, received fattering applause.
A piano solo, Song Without Words, -
one of half dozen compositions played
by Mr.. Spross, and an ingenius arrange
ment for left-hand virtuosity. is without
other distinction. Mr.. Spross' perform
ance Of the Fire Music from ''Walkure''
was very able piano work
There was fine work by the chorus on
selections from Wagner's operas, two
choTuses, adaptations from "LOhengrin,'
Song of the Rhine Maidens" and
"Senta's Ballad" from the Flying
Dutchman," arranged as a chorus by II.
R. Shelly. This is ambitious work, and
the presentation of each number gave
evidence of careful drill
Mr.. Matthews Yoice-fyric tenor-is oi
those really rare products of high art so
faultless as to disguise art. There is no
apparent effort, yet the tones carry per-
fectly. "Where'er You Walk of Handel.
the Two CanZOnets' of Haydn, and
Branscombe's Hail Ye Tyne of HolIe-
Dayes'' were sung.
The songs Of Spross. "Ishtar'' and
Yesterday and Today" poems more
worth Mr.. Spross' genius than were the
other subjects treated, gave Mr.. Matthew
opportunity for vocal coloring. Mr..
Matthews Prize Song from Die Meis-
tersinger" was an excellent piece of lyric
dramatic singing restrained within the
limits Of concert-room performance.

CROWDS SEE HERALD FILMS.
Popularity of War Movies at Colo
NAL Increases.


Crowds are flocking to the Colonial
Theater this week to see the best war
pictures ever shown in Washington. The
acme Of realistic as well as artistic ex-
cellence Is realized by the new films
epitomiZing actual scenes in the fighting
zone in Belgium and Northern France.
For the student of history a better idea
OF what is going on in Europe is obtained
from the films than in volumes from the
pens Of historians.
Earliest history was told in pictures
The records of American Indians are
found in their stories painted on wig
vans. and sculptured on rocks. Today
epoch-making happenings are caught by
the camera man. Instantaneous in its
action, fleeting impressions are caught
that even the most highly trained OBJ
server would be apt to overlook.
The recent naval battle between the
English and German fleets is shown in
the pictures. The bombardment Of Slype
also is graphically shown. Armored motor
cars dash in and out Of the scenes, and
the last word in warfare, the armored
train. is seen in deadly action. Men Of
all the contending armies figure IN the
scenes. which are the pick Of thousands
of feet of film.
The pictures will be on view every day
and evening of this week, and no one
should miss seeing them The lecture
starts at o'clock, three lectures being
given during the evening. Admission

A voice we loved is still, 88
A place is vacant in their home y
Which never can be filled.
