1t was thought that Victor Carlstrom's
mark, 452 miles, made on November 2
would stand for a long time. But Mis-.

mutt De CLEOPATRA
BY lie BALLET Russo
Remarkable Program Presented by
Company at the Belasco.

LIE Ballet Russo again revealed last
evening at the Belasco Theater the con-
summate art of the dance in a pro-
gram that was bizarre and interesting,
frequently displaying a keen imagery iiI
conception and execution.
The piece de resistance Of the evening
was a chorographic drama based on
"Une Mutt de Cleopatra by Theophile
Gautier. 1t rehcarses the sultry affair
of the Egyptian Queen with one Of her
tawny subjects, Amour, who dared to DE-
clare his love on bit of parchment
which he tied to an arrow and shot into
the presence Of Cleopatra.
Having been excessively bored by the
meagre amusement afforded by her
dancers. Cleopatra welcomed a diversion
and promised to receive Amour on con-
dition that he would drink q cup of
poison afterward. The youth agreed, e
wild orgy followed and Amour paid the
price. His dead body Cleopatra left to
the girl who had loved him in vain.
More wonderful color effects than the
Bakst setting for the drama have not
been seen. Through q temple of ruddy
brown stone, between the columns of
the portals. spectators see the dwellings
on the blazing hills beyond. The
Bacchanalian kaleidoscope turned to the
the picture one could not pin his at
tention either to the rhythmic revels of
the slaves, the Greeks, and the satyrs.
nor to the Queen and Amour.
Flora Revalles as Cleopatra, Adolf Bolm
as Amour, Lydia Sokolova, Alexandra
Wasilewska and Nicolas Sverew all de-
serve highest commendation. In the
midst of all the color and activity of the
ballet. one is apt to forget the music. 1t

The remainder Of the program consisted
of a repetition OF "Carnaval' and Les

These Russians dance with their whole

with their legs-and their hands are as

'DELIRIOUS" PATIENT

Private Holler. Fugitive From Army
Hospital Believed to Be Safe.

Private Lewis Henry Holler. who
mysteriously disappeared from the Walter
Reed Army Hospital a week ago, sup
posedly in a delirious condition, did not
perish from exposure.
. Through officers of the institution 1t
was learned last night that some OF Hol-
ler's friends helped him to escape from
the hospital, believing that he was to be
transferred to the Government Hospital
for the Insane.
r The urgent demands of his wife and
her father w. F. Stuart. Of Alexandria,
have caused the local police and members
of the hospital staff to prosecute per-
sistent search for the Virginia militia
man. Detective James E. Armstrong has
been assigned to the case and so far
search has failed to discover the where
abouts of the man.
The police have been reasonably as
sured, however, that the mans disap-
pearance was brought about through the
collusion Of friends and that he Is now
receiving proper attention. The lookout
for the man will be continued and an ef-
fort made to return him to the keeping
Of the army authorities.

SUGAR CANE UTILIZED
TO MAKE PAPER PULP
By-Products Company Adopts Chemi-
cal Process to Treat Fiber.

partial relief from the threatened pa
per shortage crisis is promised in the
announcement that the Sugar Cane BY
Products Company. through a chemical
treatment, is converting the woody fiber
OF sugar cane into a paper pulp that com
wood
The consumption Of paper is increasing
at SO rapid a rate that the natural sup
ply cannot keep pace with IT, Few per-
sons outside the newspaper business have
any ioea Of the vast quantities OF white
paper consumed regularly by the big
dailies to print the news for their mil
hons OF readers. Tons OF this plain white
paper must be obtainsble at all times.
But now the newspapers face a short
age-such serious shortage that Il Is
almost a famine The extent of their
difficulties may be judged by the fact
that publishers in Philadelphia, New
York. Chicago, and other large news
paper centers have agreed upon the
necessity Of reducing the size OF their
papers until the present condition IL re-
Iieved
The shortage has also forced up the
price Of paper. and in many cases the
newspaper publishers have been Obliged
TO raise their prices from one cent 20
two cents per copy. Newspapers make
their profits out of the advertising and
must have circulation TO secure It. They
must give the public plenty OF reading
matter TO get the circulation. The short
age OF paper obliges many publishers TO
reduce the number OF pages and leave
out or reduce the space given TO I'm
portsnt departments. When they can
get paper they viii enlarge their news
paI ers again.
The forests cannot recover from the
constant overdrafts that are being made
upon them. and according TO the warn
ing issued as long ago as 1911 lit is only
a question OF a limited number OF years
until paper fiber must be grown as
crop, as are practically all other mate
rails entering into the economy of man. -
Science has come forward with an
answer to this serious question, for
master chemist, who combined rare bust
ness foresight with his keen scientific
knowledge. looked ahead and saw the
present conditions years ago. He started
working quietly on this problem know
ing that a company that could produce
a substitute for wood pulp would have a
wonderful proposition. II took years OF
patient effort and persistence in the face
of encouragement and criticism, but the
man OF science finally triumphed over the
difficulties and accomplished his object
by discovering that the woody fiber Of
sugar cane would make paper pulp con-
sidered TO be equal. il not superior. IN
every respect TO that made from wood

gasse," which is the name given TO sugar

needs pension legislation worse than
anything else. Only per cent of the
teachers recruited here remain In the
profession, he asserted. as other more
lucrative fields are open to them.
The public demands efficient teachers
and Congress should see to II that the
profession is made inviting enough to
retain men and women, once they elect
