New York, May ls.--The geography

the past year has wrought in the
French capital is one OF the tragedies
OF the present war
The American singer with all the
charm OF her Irresistible personality
at the Ritz-Carlton this afternoon
1t was no use. Always the converse
ton drifted back to Paris and to the
French.
TT is good to be in New York
again. I needed the change after

am going back to Paris in n couple Of
weeks. Paris has lost all its gayety.
but 1t IL for all that the most won
derful city I have ever seen.
Let me tell you what Paris is
like today" and all the enthusiasm
Mary Garden feels for her adopted"
country showed in the sudden eager
ness of her voice.
Society in Paris has acquired a
new, finer dignity. There Is not a
family in all its aristocratic influence
that has not suffered a personal loss
But the mourning in the French ca pital
is not oppressive. 1t somehow breaks
you up just because It Is so brave,
because it is big enough to keep up
the business of life. and even to smile

 Kazis Krauczunas and l. erattan o'Bryan stated this morning during tho eourse of a conversation, that an appeal will be flied In the case Just tried and ln which their client was found guilty.

POTASH FROM KELP WILL
 BE TRIED THIS SUMMER

PORT TOWNSEND, April TT. s. Eippy. of Seattle who is heavily in- terested in the Pacific Products Go. in the manufacture of fertilizer out of fish and seaweed, with plants here and at Seattle, was in the city yesterday and announced that in the near future his plants will engage in the manufacture of potash from seaweed.
 The necessary equipment for the manufacture of potash will soon be installed in the several plants. A new and improved machine for har- vesting kelp Is being built and 1t is expected that 1t will be completed in time for operation early in July when the kelp season opens.
 Kelp can be secured about eight months in @ year. A machine for harvesting that material has been perfected by another concern, but its operation is very expensive, doing away with all prospects for a profit when the p.fce of potash resumes the normal Of $40 ton, which will occur after the European war, the price now being $500 Q ton.
 According to Mir. Lippy the manu- factaure of fertilizer from fish and offal from cannerles has proved sat- isfactory, and his company intends engaging in the business extensively In the future The portable plant built at Seattle vii be operated at Friday Harbor this year during the fishing season so 1t will be near the source of supply of the raw material.
 Another portable plant will be built in Seattle this season for oper- atlon at some convenient point to prepare the raw material, which will be sent to the main plant for refin- ing and from which it will be placed on the market.
