Formal applications for compensa-

were paid in full. Partial payments
were made In 234 claims. The fact
that there were more claims than ac-

viii have the artistic cooperation
of the Little symphony, George
Barrere conductor. Two new
dances especially written for tho
New York debut of La Argentina
by Enrique Granados will be
seen.
In Europe and the cities Of
South America La Argentina's
art is acclaimed and Endorsed by
the foremost men of letters
such as Anatole France. by re-
nowned musicians such as Urs.
nados, by famous artists such
as Sorolla and Zuloaga, both
Of whom have painted her many
times, the latter having not only
painted her but designed her cos-
tunes and her stage settings; by
celebrated sculptors such as
Prince Troubetskoy. whose statue
of La Argentina was purchased
by the Hispahic Museum of New
York, where it has been added 20
the permanent exhibition. Indeed
a unique distinction this for an
artist before the public.
La Argentina has been the one
and sole member of the dancing
profession to I've fetcd and deco
rated by the first institutions Of
Spain, the Athcneum and the
Beaux Arts. Since 1911 she is
the only dancer to have been
officially appointed to the court
of Spain, receiving not alone
royal Endorsement but royal gifts
in recognition Of her advance
ment of Spanish art.

THE ST. NICHOLAS RINK.

Ice skating has become so pop
ular this winter as to make the
st. Nicholas Rink more in demand
than ever. Evidence Of the ex-
tent to which it is now used may
be found in the fact that a club
of business men meets there in
the early morning-before they
have time to get tired. There
are three regular sessions every
day and three times every day
the ice is scraped and cleaned.
There are to be private parties
every night for several weeks
after the regular sessions and tho
ice il also cleaned and made fresh
for the special parties aftsrward.

the war-and that the country will
go to the demnition bow-wows
when the war is over. However,
one of the country's great authori-
ties on business and finance, Theo-
dore Price, editor Of Commerce and
Finance" New York, says:
ct will be admitted that whatever
profit the United States has derived
from the war in Europe is measured
exclusively by the increase in the
balance of trade in our facor. As our
imports have varied but slightly
since 1912, the increase in our ex-
ports must include everything that
we have gained from the expansion
of our foreign trade"
Price then says that our maximum
possible gain from the war up to
June 80, 1916, is $2,13O, 1000, 0O0r or
$21.3O per capita, while the national
