dedicada a los p~risioneros de guerra.
Alfonso XIII es tan popular en- Fran
cia que, desde las primeras semanas
de la guerra, las madres y las esposas
francesas tuvieron la idea de apelar
a sus siempre caballerescos senti-
mientos de h%umanidad para obtener,
por e1 regio c%onducto, noticias de los
hijos y de los esposos desaparecidos
en- los campos de batalla. FL monarch
siguiendo los impulses de su esponta-
nea ge~nerosidad Sc apresuro a poner
en- juegO tOdas sus influencias. Asi
obtuvo, en- un gran nunero de casos,
resultados sorprendentes, que sirvie-
ron de consuelo a otras tantas fami-
las. Y de este nacio Ell proposito de
Organizar un s~ervicio especial encar-
gado, bajo la direction personal del
soberano de investigar acerca de to-
da demanda referente a la suerte de
los prisioneros, de cualquier pals que
estos fuesen. Asi sc transformo y Sc

TOWN TREASURER OF NORFOLK GOT S9,OOO
 ON NOTES HE ISSUED

Norfolk. Feb. 20-The special town meeting held yesterday afternoon to decide upon action in the matter of the shortage in the funds of Philemon w. Johnson, formerly town treasurer missing since Jan. 21, postponed the whole matter for two weeks, at which time the selectmen will make a com plete report on the towns finances up to Mar. 5.
 It developed yesterday. in Q suit brought by the Norfolk Manufacturing Co.,, that I9,000 is to be added to the alleged defalcations of Johnson. The company sued yesterday for $10,000, alleging that it had been defrauded of $9, 900 by notes which Johnson had discounted. Johnson was treasurer of the company and in March, April and May, 1916, issued notes to the amount of $9, GOO and caused them to be dis counted and pocketed the money. This was not discovered until last week.
 J. F. Horton, secretary of the com- pany, said that it had attached assets of Johnson that the town had not att tempted to attach, and hoped to re- coup part CT che loss

BERLIN FAMILIES ] READY TO START
 SPRING GARDENS
75,OOO Households i'll Form .. Volunteer Corps.

Berlin, Feb. 19.-Approximately 75,- GOO Berlin families will take up gar dening on a small scale during the coming spring. The number of these volunteer gardeners which had been just above 1000 before the war, had increased to some 66.00O last summer and fall, and gives every indication of going higher this coming spring.
 One result of the tremendous cam paign for gardens, which make the Berliner partly independent of the market, has bsen to clean up. count less unsig1itly empty lots, especially in the suburbs, which in peace times had been used for dumping grounds and all sorts of other purposes. Many tennis courts have been sacrificed 10 peas and beans and potatoes.
 The original gardeners in Berlin were the members of the so-called Bower Colony which has patrioh- cally divided up and shared its land, letting it for trif1ing amount, or for nothings to Berliners who expressed desire to raise their own vegetables. The official membership of the "Col- ony" has increased since, the begin ming of the war from 2,000 to l4OOO, and the unofficial "colonists' ts'-those who rent or own plots of ground number more than 46,000 more already. The Red Cross also has been acquir- ing land and turning it over to wound ed soldiers to till.

Dublin Reports Days Trade In Ireland Is
 Surprisingly Active

Dublin, Feb. 19.-"Trade in all de- partments of Ireland's industrial life is 80 active and prosperous thatiit is difficult at times to realize in this fav- ored island that we are in the middle of the third year of a great waE," says Robert Colvill, president of the Bank of Ireland, in his annual report on banking and industrial conditions He adds:
 '"The flax industry of the North is prosperous, and the exports of Irish linen for the past year were two mil lion pounds sterling more in value than in the preceding year. Shipbuild- ing has also been carried on with en- ergy, and our main industry, agricul- ture, is very prosperous The prices for cattle. horses and all ordinary live stock have been extraordinarily high, while the prices of oats, barley and wheat have been more than double the norma1.''

WOMEN TOO AMBITIOUS

Excessive ambition leads all sorts of women to exert themselves beyond their strength. The girl striving for 1honors in. school, the busy housewife, the shop-gfrl, the society climber or leader, all overtax their natural powers of endurance. Then come nervous troubles. backaches. head aches, frequently organic troubles, which reduce them almost 70 despair.
 Women suffering thus should first recognize the necessity of putting on the brakes and slowing down. Be sides this, to remedy the mischief already done to their health, the best reliance is upon that famous and standard medicine for women's all ments, Lydia E.. Pfnkhams Vegetable Compound.-Adv.

NEW RECORDS FOR
 TALKING MACHINE

When Europe proclaimed Lazaro the greatest tenor of the age,' Americas musical circles awaited with interest the advent of this greatest tenor since Rubini." And now that America has heard him, through the medium of his exclusive Columbia recordings, interest has changed to- enthusiasm, and the an- nouncements of Lazaro's recordings are awaited with eagerness. The rap- turous eavatina from Gounod' s Faust" one of the most famed of tenor arias-"Salve! dimora casta e pura," is the most recent of Lazaro's s recordings There is ineffable ecstasy in the voice of Lazaro as he sings Faust's glorious 1ove-rhapsody. And he who has thrilled thousands with the phenomenally high notes of his marvel-voice charms the listener with the ,flawless purity of his me- dium register.
 There is in the playing of Katherine Parlow, the woman violinist, an in- tangible appeal-perhaps the expres- sion of her spirituelle personality that distinguishes her playing from that of her contemporaries, great though they may be. And this quality is most pronounced in a melody of simple beauty, like Beethoven's s ''Minuet in G., No. D. which Miss Parlow has recently recorded for the Columbia Company. There is in Miss Parlow's version winsome sweet ness that has perhaps never before characterized a violin rendition of this cameoesque gem of antique melody.
 The name of Helen Stanley is fa- miliar to all, and her recent operatic success in the soprano role of "Mi- caela" to Farrar's Carmen attaches unusual interest to the announce ment of a Columbia recording of 'Micaela's Air. by Miss Stanley. The fervent plea of the peasant maid for Heavens intercession, so poignant with the grief of a loving heart sprned, is sung with infinite pathos by Miss Stanley. This noble aria gives the versatile prima donna splendid opportunity to display the mellow warmth and remarkable range of her voice.
 The poetic old English toast Drink to Me Only With Thine Eyes, that has been set to such inspiring melody has been recorded for the Columbia by the famed Taylor Trio. No instru- ments could be more suited to the tender language of the~toast than the pleading puissance of the cello and the tender feminine-toned response of the violin. The harp-like undertones of the piano seem like the beating of the warm human heart, echoing the 'cello's impassioned plea. The Taylor Trio has never been heard to greater advantage than in this remarkably fine recording.

Plan Fails Again to
 Make Confucianism
 China State Religion


 Picking, Feb. 20. Efforts to make Confucianism the state religion of China have again failed. Parliament recently cast a. vote on the question of recognizing Confucianism as the official religion in the proposed new constitution, and the measure was lost by d. vote of 264 to 255.
 Many politicians have refused to participate in the religious discus sions in parliament, which have re- suited in much bitter feeling. Three and half million Christian Chinese have stood behind the members of parliament who opposed the adoption of Confucianism, and conducted a very effective campaign. The op- position of the Christians was that no religion should be recognized by the government, but that persons of all faiths should be permitted to practice their religion without gov ernment hindrance or support.

King George Leaves Cigarettes Outside
 Munitions Factory

London, Feb. liking George left his spurs, gold cigarette case, cigaret- tes and matches outside a munition plant during a recent inspection as a precaution against everything that might cause an explosion. This ex- ample of the monarch was cited dur ing the prosecution of a numberg of munitions workers for carrying srnok- ing materials into a plant where ex- plosives were made.
 In calling attention to the fact that the workmen had endangered the lives of 1000 others in the plant, the pros ecuting attorney referred to King Georges act. His Majesty" he add ed, "did it cheerfully and willingly, and if our monarch did it, surely the men working there might follow his example by complying with the regu- 1ations made for their own safety"
 Not fines, but prison sentences of a month were meted out to the offend CTS.

Duchess of Fife May
 Be Head of University

Aberdeen, Scotland, Feb. 2o-It is anoff1ciauy reported at Aberdeen uni- versity that the ChanceIorship tor presidency of the university, which is vacant through the death of Lord Egin, Is to be offered to the Duchess of Fife.
 A lady as the head of a great Eng fish university would be an academia revolution unprecedented in Great Britain. but it is pointed out that in these days when women students fre- quently outnumber the men it would be entirely fitting that the Chancellor ships should not be confined to one sex.
 Another name prominently mention ed in connection with the vacant post 1s that of Lord Bryce, former Ambas- sador to the United States.

Denies Germans Caused
 Uprising of Cubans

Paris, Feb. 20-The Cuban consul in Havre has issued a statement de- nying reports that the troubles in Cuba are due to German intrigue, according to Havas dispatch from that city. The statement says that the disturbances in Cuba are due solely to the bitter nature of the presidential election. x
 Mot only Shave the German no ttn- fluence in Cuba" says the consul. "but they have still less power to create difficulties between Cuba sssss.. the United States, to which latter country Cubans are bound by great interests and a lively sense of grati- tude."

MACHINES MADE
 IN BRIDGEPORT
 COMMON ABROAD
Belgian Factories Equipped With Many Products
 of This City.

The use of machinery particularly American machinery, in place of hand labor, is being widely discussed as one of the large problems to be met with after the war. Under the stress of war enormous quantities of American
 machinery have been brought into England, France and other countries at war, for manufacturing harness, shoes, guns, shells, and the whole range of war requirements. At Havre the Belgian Government factory, em- ploying S12,5OO,OOO workmen, repre- sentative noted at every hand the ma chinery bearing the marks of firms at Bridgeport, Providence, Boston, Phil ade1phia, Cincinnati and many other points. The harness factory, for turning out cavalry and artillery sup plies, was entirely equipped with Am erican machinery.
 The manager of the works said Eng fish machinery was good only on the huge, ponderous machines, but that American machinery was practically alone in the field on fine automatic work replacing the dexterity of hand work. He estimated that the heavy English and French machines, chiefly in the foundries and machine shops were under ten per cent. of the plant, all the rest being American. Some of the American machines were point ed out as having an ingenuity almost human. One of them, used in pol ishing the discs of shells, employed a magnetic current to hold the discs firmly while the emery wheels did the polishing. To the Belgian worker this was little short of magic, as he had always held the discs in his hand, while now the touching of a button gripped the discs until the work was done. There is the same influx of these labor-saving machines all over England, France and unoccupied Bel giJm, and in fact all over allied Flu rope.
 Besides doing the war work of all kinds, this new use of machinery has opened the eyes of producers as to what machinery could do for increas- ing British production when normal conditions are restored. It has been argued as one of the chief weapons to' combat the revival of German manu- facturers and another Made in Ger many campaign. One expert has shown that most of the factories in England were equipped in the days of steam, and have taken no account of electricity as a new motive power. He figures out that this old-time equip ment cannot possible compete with American and German production. This view is widely held, and besides the American machinery is already here furnishing it's own argument in the war work.
 At the recent Labor Congress at Manchester the delegates referred; to this new use of machinery as one of the chief after -tfe-war problems, as it would limit and compete with the hand labor of men returning from the army to civil occupations. But while recognizing it as danger they ap- peared to accept the increased use of machinery, particularly American machinery, as one of the assured facts brought out by the war. One of the resolutions passed called on the gov ernment to give special attention to the needs of workmen resulting from this new and enlarged competition from machinery.

SUNDAY SHOWS FOR SOLDIERS.

London, Feb. 20-Because 10000 soldiers wander about the streets of London every Sunday night with mo- where to go, the authorities have been prevailed upon to consent to allow a few theatres to be opened for their entertainment. The law requiring the 4tres to remain closed on Sundays in rtgfdly enforced in this country, only moving pictures houses, and those in limited number, being allowed to run. Now, however, some of the large the- atres where regular performances are given on weekdays are to be permit ted to remain open for the benefit o1 the fighting men.
