T|LLY KOENEN IN FINE SONG RECTAL Delights Music Study Club With Rendition of Dutch
 Children's Songs

Tilly l(ocnen, Dutch contralto, made a strong impression before the Birming- ham Mus'c Study club at the Jefferson last night Her interpretations of Dutch children songs and of a rolicking Irish number were the features of the pro- gramme 'omcred
 Possessing contralto voice rich in tonal qualities and endowed with personal magnetism, the singer had q sympa athetic audience. She sang the simple child songs with much ease and charm as she evinced in the rendition of the heavy German numbers. Her dietion was pro- nounced admirable and she sang with an expressiveness that gave her every effect desired.
 In addition to the l6 selections on the programme, Miss Koenen responded to several encores, rendering as one song written by Miss Daisy Rowley.
 The programme. given before a capacity audience, with Miss Louise Lindner as accompanst, follows:

Rome Reports Battle Be- tween Austrian Submarine and Italian Destroyer.
 Both Are Lost

Rome. November 6.-(via Paris, No- vember 7)-An Austrian submarine and an Italian destroyer were sunk in duel on the night of October 16, according to an official statement issued by the admiralty today. The submarine had attacked a transport which escaped.
 The statement follows:
 "An Austrian submersible attempted on the night of October 16-17 to tor- pedo one of our transports conveys ing troops, but was discovered and att tackled by conveying destroyer The submersible and the destroyer sank, while the transport reached it's desti- nation safely. The majority of the crew of the destroyer were saved and two officers and Il men of the crew of the submarine were made prisoner
 "On the night of November l our successfully a mine zone and surmount- ing by their daring solid obstacles de- lending the Fasana Pola canal, man- aged to enter the customary anchorage of part of the Austrian fleet. Two tor- pedoes were back fired against the side of one large ship and were observed to catch in the vessels torpedo net.
 For two hours our destroyers re- connoitered within a few hundred yards of the forts and strong citadel of Pola and only withdrew when they had accomplished difficult and most del- icate missions. Numerous powerful searchlights beat the sky and sea and batteries opened random and futile fire.
 "On the night of November 8 several of our destroyers sank a large Austrian steamer anchored at Durazzo under the shelter of defenses and a mine zone. Enemy destroyers came out and were attacked by our ships, which forced their retreat Our destroyers then re- turned safely to their base. On No- vember three enemy destroyers ap- peared at dawn before Santa Pidiol- mare and began to Lombard that part of the coast, although no military works are there. One of our armored trains rushed up, engaged and drove off the enemy. Two destroyers were hit. One was seen with heavy list be- ing assisted by others. The enemy fire was ineffective, one railroad man being slightly wounded and small damage done to private property"

Almost instantly students appeared from every direction. They swarmed over the campus and rushed toward the voting place as MT. Wilson alighted from his automobile. The Princeton yell went up with a re- sounding "Wilson! Wilson! Wilson!" at the end.
 While the President was inside voting the students continued to arrive and massed themselves in the streets ou.-

A small aperture in a window enabled some of the students to peer inside the engine house and they pushed and jostled for a glimpse of the President. Mrs. Wilson sat in the au- tomobile and laughed at the cavorting crowd.
 When the President emerged the stu dents again cheered him and called Speech! Speech!' but the President only shook his head and smiled. He greeted several in the crowd by name.

What Chinese Girls Should Know

Jean Price in World Outlook
 Today the Chinese men seem to have the idea that there is no limit to what their girls can learn. Not long ago an intelli- gent and wealthy gentleman of Shanghai, of influential family, about to place his two daughters in McTyeire High school. inquired of the principal: Do you teach your pupils to ride the bicycle?' On be- ing answered with surprised NO" he was much disappointed and said, 'Oh, think you ought to teach them that
 Of this new idea of girls ability the big gest result is seen in 10 of our leading American universities where 10 bright eyed Chinese girls are studying heavy "ologies." These 10 came, last year, the first girls to be the guests of Uncle Sam on the indemnity fund. These girls are fairly outstripping their American sisters and are doing credit not only to them selves. but to China and China's new idea of her womanhood.
