been attacked. But the attack was
not repeated here. Instead the Ger.
mans shifted their assaulting columns
TO the west and sought to make an
opening through the woods east of

the fighting front were brought under
the fire of the French artillery to the

Famous American Singer Is Af-
 .fiCted With Throat Trouble

New York, April 26-Geraldine Farrar with recurrence of the seri- ous throat trouble which prevented her appearance on several occasions at the Metropolitan Opera House last month, is confined to her home under the care of a physician and has been forced to cancel all her operatic en- agreements in Atlanta as we'll as con- cert dates. Miss Farrar is suffering with quinsy.
 Giulio Gattiasazza, the Metropol- itan Opera Company's director who was in town yesterday after the close of the Boston season said the prima donna would not sing in Atlanta. The operas in which she was to have appeared Madame Butterfly" and "Tosca," have been replaced by 'Lu- cia' and La Boheme' in the South ern engagement which began on Monday. Although the singers con- dition is not considered dangerous, she is not able to sing a note and
 will have to rest for a week or two.
 With the Atlanta season due to
 close on Saturday it is expected that the annual announcement concerning lIe plduS or tIle company TOT next season will be made early next week. Several singers of minor importance are known to have already been en- ! gagged. Reginald de Koven's opera in English, "The Canterbury Pilgrims" is said unofficially to have been &C., cepted for production. Such operas
 as La Chute de la Maison Usher" and
 The Flying Dutchman," which figure in the announcements each year but never seem to get a hearing, can be depended upon to bob up again, but otherwise the opera official have dropped few hints as to the makeup of the company Or it's repertoire be- yond saying that all the principal ar lists who were with the company this season have been retained
 Several of the singers are planning to risk ocean travel during the war time and journey back to their native countries for the summer Others. after a short season among the opera houses of South America and Cuba, will remain in this country.

 FAST EVAPORATING
Henry J. L. Washington Seeks Divorce From UnWelC0me Bride

New York, April 26.-Henry James Lamar Washington, whose marriage in 1908 to Miss Lucille Margaret Graves Osborne caused the executors under the will of his uncle and foster father, Henry J. Lamar of Macon. Ga, to refuse to pay him one-sixth of the $8O0,000 estate, brought suit se- cretly here for divorce several weeks ago.
 The case probably would have re- mained a secret and might never have been tried had it not been for the tn- sistence of Mrs. Washington and her counsel that the charge against her De sifted in court. She alleges that she has been the victim of an effort by her husband to free himself of her, with possible effect on his contest over his uncle's estate.
 The plaintiff who calls himself La mar Washington, is the son of Col. w. H. Washington of Nashville, Tenn, one of the best known attorneys in Tennessee, who was counsel for the Coopers when they were tried for kill ing Senator Carmack. It had been stated in court roceedings that Henry J. Lamar took Col. Washington's son upon the death of his sister, the wife of Col. Washington, at which time the boy was twenty-one months old, and that $10,000 was paid to the boys father.
 This has been denied by Mrs. Val- erie Lamar Harriss, wife of Dr. John A. Harriss, president of the Interna tional Arms and Fuse company, who was alleged to have given the testi- mony Mrs. Harriss, who died a few days ago, was the aunt of Lamar Washington, and it is said that he will receive a large part of her estate.
 Must Please His Aunt.
 Under the will of Henry J. Lamar, his adopted son was to get one-sixth of the estate only on condition that his marriage was pleasing to his aunt, Julia Lamar, one of the executors. His

Poles Must Battle
For German Kaiser

London, Nov. 1.-THE wireless
press today gave out the following,
under date of Berne:
Before the main committee OF the
Rcichstag OH November 9 Chancel-
lor Won Bethmann-Hol1weg stated
that Germany's promise to create a
new kingdom OF Poland was only
conditional, being dependent upon the
success of the plan to raise Polish
army which would fight for Germany.
If the number of Poles enlisting vol
unfairly should be insufficient, Ger
many would introduce compulsion,
and if the Poles resisted, or :f the pro-
jected Polish army proved unsatis-
factory to the general staff. the en-
peror would annul his promise to
create new kingdom.
"The chancellor made this state
ment in reply to conservatives and
national liberals, who denounced the
policy Of creating a Polish kingdom" /"

Board Of Education
Not Ready to Boost
Salaries of Teachers

The request of Omaha's $50 grade
school teachers and principals for an
increase in salaries Of rs per cent at
the beginning of the new semester III
February was referred by the super
intendent to the teachers committee.
The teachers committee received the
request, but is not ready to comment
or express an opinion on the merits
of the proposition. .s
1t is not probable that the teachers
committee will act on the matter
without calling in the finance commit.
tee, as about 100000 additional would
be needed annually for the payroll.
In all probability thetwo committees
will meet jointly to consider the case
and then refer the request to the en-.
tire board, sitting as committee OF
the whole. In no event, however, will
definite action be taken until the new
members of the board are installed.
