ROBIN HOOD
AT. THEGRAND
WEDNESDAY

"Robin Hood, the celebrated comic
opera by Messrs de Koven and Smith,
will be the offering at the Grand on
Wednesday Night, March goth at S:15.
This opera will be presented by the
de Koven Opera Co., an organization
composed Of Grand opera singers. In
this notable cast of vocal artists first
mention should be given Ivy Scott, the
charming young Australian prima
donna, who made such a success as
Madam Butterfly and as the Girl in
''The Girl of the Golden West" Miss
Scott possesses Il remarkable lyric So
prano voice of dramatic quality, and
sings the role of Maid Marian with an
artistic beauty worthy of the highest
praise. The title role will be sung by
Ralph Brainard, whose fine tenor
voice is admirably suited to the part.
VIM. schuster will play the part of
Friar Tuck. Mr.. Schuster's perform
ance of the lovable old monk is said
to be a classic.
Cora Tracy will be the Alan-a-Dale
and her rich contralto adds new beau
ty to Mr.. de koven's best known n
20, Promise Me-. Another recruit
from Grand Opera is James Stevens of
the Chicago Opera Co., whose singing
of "Brown October Ale" gives a pleas
ure only possible from such splendid
baritone voice. Herbert Waterous, a
fine basso, will sing the famous car
mourers' song Marie Mcconnell, Til
lie Salinger, Phil Branson aind Sol
Solomon complete the cast, the en-
cellence of which has never been sur
passed, if equalled in comic opera. An
exceptional singing chorus carried by
tie company is of the highest order.
Special mention is made of the vocal
merit of this company, in justice to
the charm of Reginald de Koven's mu-
sic. This elaborate production, which
is under the direction of Fred E. Wal
ker, is the same as that biven at the
New Amsterdam Theatre, New York,
during the long run of "Robin Hood
in that city last year.
The performance here will undoubt-
edly be the social and musical event of
the season.

 AND RAILROADS
 MAY ARB|TRATE
Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. IT, DeIayed) According to reports in general circulation about this city. the railroads and brotherhoods are becoming anxious over the Adamson law. They are now planning to have it repealed if possible and to Substi- ute a working agreement of their own.
 Interviewed today regarding the mat ter in question, Representative Ad. amson. the author of the bill, ap- peared veXed over the attitude oI the labor unions over the law which had been made in their intere~ tS. He said, in part: Congress will spank both sides of this controversy if necessary. The law will remain as it is and we will see to it that both sides get a square deal.'
 It is reported here that the re election of President Wilson has made the railroads fearful of further legis lation. And the brotherhoods are fearful because they know that the President stands for compulsory ar bitration and that if the Adamson law was amended, no matter wheth CT or not the amendment was con stitutional, it would contain a com pulsory arbitration feature.
 Congressional leaders seem in clined to believe that the railroad and the brotherhoods will come tc an agreement regarding their trou- bles. That is, they are expected tt get together and ask for the dis missal of the second suit to test the constitutionality of the Adamson law, now pending in the supreme court.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 19.- Interviewed regarding their opinion of the attitude of David Lloyd George, the British premier, expressed in his speech today before the house of commons on the German peace note, certain of the American admin itration officials said that the pre- mier's speech could not be termed definite refusal of the German peace proposal. In fact, they regard it as an opportunity. almost an in vitation, for Germany to make an other cautious advance in the matter of peace. And in giving voice to their opinion all of the adminiStra- ton officials expressed the hope that Germany will do so and that the ne gotations now pending will ultimate ly end in the conclusion of the war and the establishment of la-ting peace in Europe.

SKIN GRAF T|NC OPERATION IS
 B|C SUCCESS

James P. Sherman yesterday had
 kin grafted from his body on to the arms of his daughter Irene. Ac cording to Dr. J. A. Sutherland, who performed the operation, probably two hundred small pieces of skin were used in the work The doctor also states that the grating was en- tirely successful.
 Irene is the only remaining one of the three children who were in the Sherman cabin at the time it caught on ire several weeks ago, and for several days her life was despaired of Her injuries are now not considered necessarily fatal, but they are still very serious. The skin on her arms was roasted off, and the grating operation was ab- solutely necessary Mir Sherman, upon learning the facts, at once gladly volunteered to furnish the necessary skin for the new covering. Her face is also very badly burned, and it may be necessary to have he same operation performed on it This, however, cannot be stated defi nitely until the injuries are more nearly healed. The little girl is gradually improving. and every day adds to her chances for recovery.
 The removal of the skin from MT. Sherman's body, while it will, of course, be somewhat painful is not be around as usual.

CANADIANS ARE
 UNSURP PASSEO
 IN PATRIOTISM
Associated Press)

OTTAWA. Ont. Dec 19.-Canadi- ans are nothing if not patriots. For they have decided to use their own resources. even at the cost of de molishing their own industries, in the interests of the mother country.
 The latest sacrifice made by the Canadians is of their railroads. For they have started to tear up thou sand miles of railroad to meet the needs of the war on the French and Belgian front The rails will be shipped to France, where they will be used to facilitate traffic between the ports of entry of the troops and the fighting line. Five hundred miles of rail are now being torn up between Edmonton, Alberta, and the Pacific coast They are being taken mostly from sidings of the Grand Trunk Pacific railroad. All of the rails available, except just enough to keep a direct line of com, munication open to the coast, will be taken. They are being shipped to the east as rapidly as possible.
 Owing to the fact that steel for the manufacture of rails i5 now practically impossible to get, the patriotic Canadians have taken this method of getting the much needed means of transportation to get the troops and supplies from the coast of France to the battle line in north ern France and in Belgium. Steel is to be had in small quantities. quantities not large enough to per init the manufacture of rails for railroad1 after the needed shells for use on the various battlefronts are made.
