To Conquer Wastefulness

az we can win the war and at the
same time conquer our national sin
of Wastefulness, then we will have done
something memorable. The twoiold
purpose of the thrift campaign is TO
raise money for the use Of the govern
ment and TO cultivate the habit oil
saving among the people.
III the people do not save and give
their savings into the care Of the gov
eminent, the war will not be won. ne
present obligation is imperative. The
plan of the Treasury Department pro-
vides a way by which every man who
saves a quarter of a dollar can help
his country while at the same time
helping himself Il is perhaps the best
plan for general savings ever devised.
"The person who buys these stamps
is guaranteed repayment by the highest
guarantee in the world-the credit Of
the United States government. Inc
value Of the certificates increases every
month automatically. They cannot be
monopoGZed by any one. because the
maximum amount that can be allotted
TO any individual is $1,000
The special appeal TO the school chill
dren OF the country was made ycster-
dav in Washington by Secretary OF the
Treasury McAdoo, who said:
Children TO Help
aye can and we will win this war
IL the boys and girls Of America say
so. ard mean it and feel il and live IT,
AS the boys and girls Of rs lived and
felt and helped. j. is the part of boys
and girls to-day to give an example
of self-denial ard sacrifice. The. lesson
is thrift-savinR 10 the point oil sacrl-
flee self-denial Of everything uhneces-
sary.
"If every hoy and girl says at home
tonight. 4 will fight in this war; ! Will
save every penny and loan IT TO my
government and help save the lives OF
the big brothers of America; ] will try
70 teach every American ! see TO do
the same-then twenty million homes,
the homes of all America, will be filled
with the spirit Of rs.
america will win the war again,
through the splendid strength, courage
and sacrifice in the hearts of youth,
that to-day will teach the nation the
lessons OF saving and serving which 1t
must and will learn, through the mes
sage which its school children Will
carry home.
Through saving your pennies. nick
els. dimes and quarters, and buying
thrift stamps and then war savings
certificates. you will help your coun-
try and its gallant armies TO win the
war. I know YOU will help"

Albany May Pave Way
for Action Here

A national movement 10 wipe out
woman suffrage from the states which
now have IL is being discussed by the
heads Of the anti-suifrage organization,
it was learned yesterday. Committees
arc being appointed in Western states,
especially Colorado and Washington, to
investigate the possibilities Of state
referendum on the suffrage question.
The New York State Association OPP
posed TO Woman Suffrage at It's meet
ing recently voted to suspend opera
tons" The word temporarily" had
been in the resolution, but was stricken
out.
Miss Alice Hill Cnittenden, formerly
president Of the association, declared
last night, however, that the anti-suf-
fragists have by no means despaired of
New York.
"Suffragists Hurting Cause"
Everybody will be an anti in two
years" she said. 81 do not think IL
will be necessary for the present anti
suffrage leaders to organize move
ment to wipe out woman Suffrage. l
think a good many present suitraglsts
will do il. Ever so many people nave
become ants here since election.
"Of course, suffrage cannot be taken
away until we have a state referendum
law. That, however. will probably be
passed within the next two years by So
cialists in control of the Legislature.
If we get such a law in New York it will
De possible to have a referendum on the
suffrage question every few years, just
as Ohio has"
The anti-suffragists will have their
annual convention in Washington on
December IL. Three delegates will go
from New York State-Mrs. J. s. May
nard, of Utica; Mrs. A. NJ. Banker, of
J ohnstown, and Miss Mary G. Kilbreth.
They will join other anti-suffrage dele
gates in fighting the Federal suffrage
amendment.
Takes Up War Work
Miss Chittenden laid down her Office
yesterday. She said last night she was
devoting her entire time to war work,
being a member of Mrs. Nelson Her
rick Henry's canteen service and
member Of the committee which is ar
ranging the War Children's Christmas
Carnival. She said she would join the
Republican party the first chance she
got, and that she had been approached

with the party organization.

happy afternoon yesterday moving the
anti-suffrage headquarters to a small

Yesterday afternoon brought the
second recital q Jascha Heifetz and
his first complete test as an artist. The
first. because at his opening recital
his programme was OF surprisingly
superficial quality. Certainly 1t WAS
dictated BY the managerial, not by the
artist sense IL was designed TO
show Heifetz the virtuoso. Yesterdays
programme at Carnegie Hall revealed
heifetz the artist.
Bachs Unaccompanied Chaconne,
which was the chief piece on the pro-
gramme. is justly regarded as the su-
preme test Of all that a viOllnist has
TO give. Yet Mr.. Heifetz's reading Of
II was the quietest. the most reserved,
that New York has heard in years. The
Young artist seemed quite unconscious
Of its astounding difficulties. The
great chords relied from his instru-
ent as easily and as richly as though
they had been struck on the manual of
an organ.
From these chords emerged the long
melodic tones and the delicate tracery
work as they might from an orchestral
ensemble. Never was the steady flow
of the rhythm interrupted TO give the
performer breath. Yet in this unas-
sumine performance the piece took on
q strange and unfamiliar intensity of
emotion.
In short, the peculiar fascination OF
Mr. Heifetz's performance resides in
its truthfulness and simplicity. There
is no mystery in his playing. II is
simply violinism as close to technical
perfection as is humanity possible. In
his playing technique" and "interpre-
tation" become one and the same thing.
Because he plays with accuracy ard
purity of intonation, sustains steadily,
and phrases naturally, Mr. Heifetz Gre
ates = beauty to which violinsts who
cultivate "brillance" never attain.
He needs none Of the trickery or
false emotionalism which too often
hide faulty execution. He effaces him
self, and IS Il result the music speaks
through him with unaccustomed elo-
quence. His playing may well be a re-
hinder 20 all Of his profession that
genius is the infinite capacity for TAX
ing pains.
And IL Is reaSsurlne 10 observe that
an audience, an ordinary American
concert audience, and by no mean
one Of conncisseurs. appreciates these
genuinely musical values. The crowd
may be misled by those wh1 cultivate
the art Of sensation making but when
true art appears, stripped of all trap
pings, II infallibly recognizes il. The
American public has not been per-

Music
Damrosch Gives His Second
Symphony Concert
for Children

The world Of concert and recital was
we'll filled yesterday. At II o'clock in
the morning Walter Damrosch gave the
second Of his Symphony concerts for
children. explaining and illustrating
the wood-wind instruments Of the or
chestra.
The programme opened with the
March from Rats symphony "Lenore,"
followed by two intermeIzi from Gear
men" in illustration Of the flute and
bassoon; the allegretto grazioso from
the Brahms Second symphony, illus
trating the oboe, and Beauty and the
Beast" from Ravels Mother Goose"
suite. illustrating the clarinet. The
audience Of youngsters paid close at
tention to the proceedings.
A few hours later the same hall held
a recital by new pianist, Nine. Eliza
Tavarez. Nine. Tayarez seemed TO be a
good musician, possessed Of some feel
ing and technical skill. Her programme
contained Bach's "Fantasie Chro-
matiquo." Beethoven's Sonata Appas-
sonata, Chopin group, and pieces By
Chaminade. Saint-Saens, Lcmaire, Thai
berg and List.
In the evening Aeolian Hall was the
scene of yet another recital. that Of
Wiifrid Douthitt, who. after anuounc-
ing that he had Joined the British army
TO fight Cor his country, returned TO
New York wearing beard and a new
name. Now. as Louis Graveure, Bel
gian, he has won a distinct place in
the song recital world.
Whatever he may have done with his
name and nationality, he has not
camouflaged his voice, which is re-
markablc one. and one supported by
power Of breath. His
chief lack is in warmth of tempera-
ment. Yet, despite this, his recitals
have always in them much to com
mend. Last night he sang a number
OF German songs in English, with
Irish, French and American numbers
following.

Attendance Records Broken

The combination of the visit and ad
dress by the Italian Ambassador and
Saturday--always a banner day in af-
fairs of this kind-proved enough TO
break all attendance records thus far
at the bazaar. Incidentally, the throngs
of people put to the severest test they
have yet had TO face the members Of
the Home Defense League, who yolun-
teered 70 maintain order and assist
visitors in having good time.
The Folk Theatre proved a popular
attraction with visitors last night.
Dances under the direction of Miss
Elizabeth Burchanel were given, with
Lady Aberdeen, of the Riddles Booth,
as patroness.
An interested and interesting visitor
10 the British War Relief Committees
exhibit was James Z. Duckett. who re-
turned only two days ago from France,
where he has been serving in the French
Ambulance Corps. He brought with
him a number Of interesting souvenirs
from the Western front, which he has
placed at the disposal of Mrs. William
Aston Chanler, chairman of the com
mittee. Mr.. Duckett, who is New
York man, has just been permitted 20
leave the Ambulance Corps to join the

If the Hun had thought for a single
moment the terrific thrust ne made a
few short weeks ago against the ItGl-
ians had weakened his adversary or de-
stroyed his spirit and courage, he
would have had a rude awakening last
night at Hero Land, the huge war ba-
zaar now being held at the Grand Cen
trail Palace. Yesterday was Italian
Day. The guest of honor was Count
di Celere, Italian Ambassador to this
country.
In the great hall of the Grand Cen

defiance of the Germans and declared
that at the very moment he was speak
ing his countrymen on the Piaye we're
lashing back with unavoidable fury
at the foe who a few weeks ago had
dealt them q terrific blow.
