Victor Herbert's music seems to have
the quality Of making people pelieVe
each sample of II they get Is the pest
thing he has done-which probably ac-
counts for the reason that the production
of THE Serenade' last night at the Ma
tional Theater appears to be the best
thing the Aborn company has yet pre-
sented here.
AS a matter of fact. "The Serenade'
Is one of the most comprehensive OF the
Herbert output musically and dra-
matically, because 1t represents about
the best there Is In American light

PRODUCTION Of no less than six strong
musical parts with featured solo num-
bers, together with an unusual num-
ber of melodious and inspiring ensem-
bles. So well have the varied musical
| themes been put together by the COM
poser and so carefully has the ublqui-
tous Harry b. Smith worked with the
score In the building up Of the story.
| that the opera needs no cast OF famous
| singers to impress its meaning on an
audience.
That the Aborn company. however,
has brought to Washington nine Of Its
| vocal strength In the production gives
| assurance Of the best sort of interpreta-
| ton of the music. There are few OPP
cratic organizations In the country that
could cast an opera in the highly salts
factory way the opera is cast In this
weeks production. Not even the old
Bostonians gave a better balanced per
| formance.
The story of the opera is too well
| known to need repetition. The many
popular songs and choruses have made
It familiar to almost every household.
| The full value of each of these Is given
In the Aborn production.
Estelle Wentworth as Yvonne has the
best part she has had this season.
She appeared to be in better voice thap
she has heretofore and sang with an

called forth repeated applause.

believe that the American people
would tolerate such bullying threats
from any alien influence? How
could he fail to understand, if he is
capable of understanding anything
at all about this country, that if Mr..

per cent but full 100 per cent of
the German-American vote for in

has come for German jingoism to
wake up and come out of it's whip
the-world trance. It even sees that
there is another than the present
German side to the question of ship
ping arms and munitions to bellig-
erents; and 1t INDUCES some unkind
illusions to typewriter heroes, far
from the front, preaching war to
the knife"
1t is to be hoped that the changed
tone of this and other German news
papers may represent a new real
ization of American public opinion.
1t is time that Germany begin to
understand that the United States
is not hopelessly divided, that it is
not bluffing, that it's people stand
squarely behind the humanitarian
position taken by the President, and,
finally, that this country is not safe
ly to be set down as a negligible
figure if it shall be goaded into war.
There has been in Germany, as
well as in France and England,
some very sincere disagreement as
to whether the United States would
be of much or of any aid to the al
lies if it were forced to side with
them. On one side is the idea that
America might suddenly adopt a
policy that would keep it's munitions
and supplies at home for a long
time while the army and navy were
being equipped for real business.
That would leave the allies, mean
while, in the lurch for the neces-
saries of war they get here; and if
it should happen, Germany might
greatly profit. There are English
men and Frenchmen not a few, as
well as Americans and Germans,
who think this very possible re-
suit.
But suppose these forecasts should
prove mistaken; that the United
States should settle down to do the
things that would be most helpful
to her coadjutors, by supplying
them with unlimited credit on which
to get munitions, and then by mul.
tiplying its capacity for the produc.
ton Of these? Suppose that the
producing and financial capacity Of
this country-twice as rich as the
richest now in the war-should be
turned loose to help support the wa,
by the most genuinely timely and
helpful measures? 1t is very Ger.
tain, in that event, that whateve,
side had shifted at America as 8
factor would discover, when too late
that pathetic mistake had beer
indulged. Seemingly Berlin opinion
is beginning to realize the posi-
bility of just these things happen
ing, and the realization is produc
ing most desirable modification o,

FRENCH rs" GUN PROVES To BE A
VERY WONDERFUL PIECE or ARTILLERY

From one general point of view,
the German artillery has long stood
condemned in our eyes. In Germany
there has been for years divorce
between the artillerymen and the men
who make the guns. Every improve
ment with the Germans has had to
originate from Krupps, and there has
thus been a disastrous hiatus between
theory and practice. With us ii is
different. Our artillery has made its
own gun. We have accepted improve.
ments from every quarter. and have
paid our men not in cash regard, but
by promotion or recognition"

BOULOGNE, France, March 10.--A
French artillery officer who has been
at the front from the beginning Of the
war, has sent to the newspapers an
account of the French "75" gun.
which he regards as the most sue.
cessful all-round piece of artillery in
use by the army.
THE feature in which the gun has
most conspicuously established its SUI
perlority" he writes, SIS in the rapid.
ity of its fire. This to some extent
depends upon the division OF labor
among the gunners. but even more
upon the mechanical properties of the
gun The designer has so arranged
1t that no matter how the weapon is
pointed, the force of recoil passes
through the exact center of the beche
or anchor. In the German gun, the
force is directed not at the point of
the beche. but at a point to right or
left OF II, with the result that the
gun tends to be slowed around and
has to be continually aimed afresh.
"A great virtue of the French as
Is the extent to which 1t resists dete-
rioration. n you examine French
shell that has been fired at the end
OF the past six months of hard fight
ing, you will find evidence that the
guns rifiing is almost as good and
efficient as at the beginning of the
war. This comes as surprise to
many people who have heard Of the
rapidity with which naval guns de
teriorate. but the conditions are, Of
course. different, as the velocities
needed In naval work make an enor-
mously greater demand upon the ma.
val gun.
"A great deal has been written
about the deadliness of the French
shell fire and the relative inefficiency
of that OF the Germans Assuming
that the shells of both guns explode.
the French shell will have the ad.
vantage for the following reason: The
German shell hits the ground and
digs hole. BY the nature of things
-as the fragments of shell must fly,
roughly, straight-nothing will be hit
that is below a line extended out in
diagonal direction from the sides Of
the hole dug by the she'll In other
words, It is possible to be lying on
the ground quite close to the spot
where a shell has burst and to be
untouched. A horse has to be yard
or 80 farther away, but even he soon
gets out OF the zone OF fire.
With the French shell 1t is diff
ferent The French shell is con
siructed to recochet; 1t strikes the
ground and bounces, only exploding
when II is in the air as the result Of
the bounce. The explosion occurs
when the shell is OF the ground. and
there is no hole surface to protect a
possible victim.
Our experience in the present war
seems to show also that the French
shrapnel bullet is more efficient than
the Germarl The bullets of the 70
shrapnel sael weigh II grams (slight-
ly less than half an ounce). whereas
the similar German bullet weighs
only nine grams. Experience seems
to show that bullet of at least ii
grams is necessary to stop man ad-
vancing. The effect of the bullet is
Of course enormously increased by
the high velocity of the French shell.
Bullets OF our rs shrapnel strike at
velocity of 90 meters a second,
whereas those OF the corresponding
German gun travel at sixty meters,
The energy of the two bullets is in
fact automatically about 3 to In
favor Of the French
