the world who has played In Chi

A student of the famous Cam
panari and of Berlin teachers, he
combines a vivid histrionic art
with a rich and widely-ranged
voice of compelling power.
Gwendolin Geary, who sings
the title role of Martha" is an
other musician we'll known in Ia
coma, where she was heard in
several recitals, one of them Just
recently. Miss Geary's voice is
remarkably birdlike in its purity
and sweetness and she sings the
difficult trills and roulades of
Lady Harriet with delightful
ease.

INGToN ENCOURAGED.

Berlin, via London, June 15.-Tht
Lokal Anzeiger prints a noteworthy
article of German-American relation.

norman, which, on the heels of Fri
days conciliatory article, is taken tC
mean that influential representatives
of politics and business are behinC
this paper eXerting efforts for a Ger
man-American understanding.
"President Wilson," says Herr Zim
norman, desires nothing more and
nothing less than an understanding
between Germany and England con
cerning the form of maritime warfare
which, at the same time, will insure
the safety of American passengers.
The task is not light, considering the
development Of naval war, but it can
be solved if all interested display good
will"
\ new form might be given to naval
warfare, Herr Zimmerman continues,
on the basis that passengers on ships
with special marks of identification
and sailing under government guar
antee that they are unarmed, should
receive proper consideration at the
hands of submarine commanders. The
compromise must also involve the
withdrawal of the British admiralty's
instructions to merchantmen to ram
submarines on sight.
The article ventures to indicate for
the first time to the German public
that there may be a second side to the
question of arms on which the press
has been for months harping. Herr
Zimmerman pays his respects to what
he terms typewriter heroes, who for
from the front, are preaching war to
the knife against everybody and con-
cludes:
1--WE wish to act and write with
blood and iron, but just because we are
fearless and determined, we may look
for possible ways by which to arrive
at an understanding with America. We
need not close up our department of
incoming an outgoing declarations OF
war. which heretofore has worked no
blv. but it seems to me that We can
curtail the output somewhat without
incurring a reputation for excessive
caution"
The editor OF the Tageblatt, Thedor
Wolff, also published an article in IA
vor of policy, aimed at the avoidance
of new conflicts and the bringing IN
of new adversaries.

have us become greater slaves to the

woman becomes attached and bound
up in one of these dads, she ceases
dancing, because dad does not like
to see her in the arms of another
man. She stays away from the club
because dad thinks they are useless
things. She slaves in the kitchen to
try to fix things for him that agrees
with his stomach. She is very careful
in making bills, because on the first
