Paris, Aug. 15th-The apparent SLOW rate
OF progress by the French and the British
forces Oh the western front since July lst as
compared with that of the Russians on the
eastern front, it is explained in military cir
Giles here, is due to the methodical nature of
the Entente offensive against the line of
strongly fortified positions extending virtu.
ally from the North Sea to Salonica, and
the TACT that infantry must wait until
the artillery has done its work. The front
ottbe Central Powers in the western thea

than the front with which the Russian
armies have had to deal, so that the lat

ID ENLARGE THE
 ELKs' THEATER STAGE

The road Of the local manager of star attractions is not easy. at least
 it is not with Eugene RedeWill who
 brings the Minneapolis Symphony Or chestra to Phoenix on February End
 After the signing of contracts calling
 for the customary hall. lights, ad- Vertising and ticket sale. only on a
 larger and more detailed scale than ordinary for Phoenix, Mir. Redewill thoaeht that this. together with ths
 heavy guarantee would be about all necessary for this aristOcratic organi-
 zation Such was not the case how
 ever, for shortly afterwards a blank
 was received asking about hotel ac- commodations for ninety people, trans fer service for moving about eight dray loads of special staging and ir- struments including eight double | passes nine cellos, seven kettle crum etc A few weeks later came a
 blank asking all about advertising
 means available and special insurance covering a seventy thousand dollar risk on musical instruments.

The climax, Cor what the local man i agel' hopes is the climaD was reached !! yesterday when Mir Redewil received 1 q stage specification, which will re- ] quiie the enlargement of the Elk $ i thesiter stage. that will make it reach when completed about four rows ove- the footlights and orchestra pit. i Of course, all this shows what a ! gigantic organization the orchestra is. consisting of S5 men and conductor , Oberncffer, besides the soiOists. The i patrons of this musical feast will come in for their share of the re- suits however, outside of the oppor-
 tunity of listening to Americas finest Symphony Orchestra because the de- tails require a temperature of 7S de- grees of heat throughout the hall. Ire reason for this being that the pitch Of many Of the sensitive in- strrinents including the oboes, bass oons. harp, bass clarinet, French horns and English horn. are greatly influenced by a change of tempera- =
 ture.
 The orchestra tunes to q pitch a shade higher than the well known
 standard pitch, better known to the
 music world as international pitch, which is "435 A" or that number of
 vibrations per second for the middle
 "A The symphonic pitch is "440 A.
 which makes the sensitive instru-
 merlts above alluded to play in more perfect tune throughout their respec- l tive registers.

Every indication points to the es- tablishment of a new postal record at the local office for the calendar year, which ends December 31 This, of course, is not the end of the post office fiscal year. which is not brought tc a close until June 90, next.
 Postal receipts for the pasr few months have far surpassed those of corresponding months in any other year. The total receipts for the 12- month period, ending December S1, it is believed. vii approach, if not surpass the S160,000 mark Last year the record was S13S,000.
 It is a recognized fact that the growth of city is best measured by it's increase in postal receipts. Talk ing this as a basis. the population ot Phoenix has increased more than 10 per cent during the past twelve months. This will be shown, it is thought, in the report to be mad.' public within the next few days.

This matter was brought up at the time of making the last budget. and it was decided to continue wages at the present rate and the budgc. made accordingly Moreover. the commission has al various limos during the present fiscal year ordered expenditures of various amounts not provided for in the bud- get with the result that there is serious danger that we will be short of money in May and June. If th additional expenditure of $3.000 for wages is added to the current ex pense for this year. do not believe that the funds provided in the budget will carry US through this year"
