See how the dazzling snowfall fills
The creases Of these Berkshire Hills
The trees with snow are weighted DER;
And. locked in ice from shore to shore,
Now Dreaming River smiles no more
Beat back the cold-pile up the logs
With generous hands, upon the dogs;
Then gather close around the glow
Set apples warming in row,
Bring popcorn whittier than the snow.
The rest O Thaliarchus mine,
Unto the gods we then resign:
They will take care, we may be sure,
Of wind and storm and temperature
As long as you and l endure.
Why should we worry, then, old chap,
How long well live, or what may hap:
Count each new day as so much gain;
Nor, at your age, should you disdain
A merry dance, a maiden fain.
Turn grouchy when, some years from now.
GRAY hairs lie thicky on your brow;
But now draw forth and trim the sleigh,
String jingling bells upon the bay
The roads are just immense to-day!
And then, when dinners cleared away.
Od-fashioned Forfeits let us play.
On confidence tell you this;
There's many shy-appearing miss
Who's not so keen to keep a kissD

BROADWAY WON'T BITE"
AT VAIN GEM H0LD-UP
Two Customers Take Nothing After
One Attacks Salesman

Two young men entered the brightly
lighted jewelry shop of NJ. Gelula &
Co, at Broadway and Forty-second
Street, at 10 o'clock last night. They
wanted to see some amethysts. and
Walter Markoss, the clerk, laid out a
tray of them.
While all three were bent over il one
of the customers drew a weapon from
his pocket and hit the clerk on the
head. Markoss dropped to the floor,
dragging the tray Of amethysts with
him.
Sophisticated Broadway grinned and
refused to "bite." The two youths,
glancing at the throng that had gath
cred outside the windows, quietly
STROBE out and vanished.
An ambulance surgeon dressed the
wound on the clerks head and sent him
to his home, at S54 Beck Street, The
Bronx. Nothing had been stolen.

be a Nile. Lange-and failing. In ad-
dition. she was in exceedingly poor
voice, her tones at times reminding one
strongly Of Miss Gardens.
Mr. Amato, despite the fact that he
was far from at home in the style OF
music and handicapped by his poor
French diction. gave an exceedingly
sincere, consistent and even magma
tive conception of Athanael. IL pos
sessed dignity, spirituality and feeling.
II he had been as excellent voeally IL
would have been a performance OF
very high order, even though it lacked
the subtlety possessed by NJ. Renaud's.
To Mr.. Rother, to Miss CALI and to
more limited extent TO Mines. Delaunois
and Garrison praise should be given.
Mr.. Rothier is always an artist. and
Miss CALI is fast becoming a very
great one. while Nine. Delaunois and
Nine. Garrison were in the picture as
Myrtale and Crobyle. Unfortunately
these two singers shared with Mr.
Amato and Mr.. Botta the total collapse
of the second scene quartet Praise
unfortunately must end here. The per-
Torrance as q whole was listless. and
except in the last act utterly lacking in
color or atmosphere. Mr.. Polacco did
his best with the orchestra.
Belief Is Needed
"Thais" given in this fashion is
hopeless. To be effective it must be
given as if one believed in it, as did
Mr.. Renaud. or at least as if one be-
leved in oneself, as did Miss Garden.
Miss Farrar in other operas has been
successful because of the latter virtue;
last night she was frankly shipwrecked.
The vessel of her self-assurance had
been Summarized, and for the greater
portion OF the performance she splashed
hopelessly about in the ocean of sen
sual religiosity. Once or twice bits OF
her lost artistic principles foated by,
and at these she clutched desperately.
Upon one of these she was left float
ing at the end, and upon it she died
her operate death. Nothing in the
opera so we'll became her as her leav-
ing it.
"Thais" will add nothing TO the
lustre of the Metropolitan. As an
opera it is Massenet at his shallowest;
as a production it was stiff and con-
ventional: it was sung badly, and, with
the exception of Mr.. Amato, Nine.
Delaunois md Nine. Garrison, acted
, badly. If French opera is TO be re-
stored TO the local repertory it needs
French artists.

40 MILLION
INCREASE IN
GRAND LIST
Assessors Make Total Valu-
alton of City Property
About $18O,OOO,OOO BY
Wholesale Boosts on Busi-
ness and Factory.
Main Street Property From
Fairfield Avenue to Elm
Street to Be Levied on at
$4,000 a Front Foot
Every Manufacturer Hit.

In desperate effort to make up
for its unwarranted and appalling ex-
travagance in every department, the
board of tax assessors has boosted the
grand list fully $4,000, 900, making
grand list of nearly $1S0,000,O0O for
1915.
In making their increase the assess
Ors have first raised the valuation of
the property and, machinery of prac-
tically every large manufacturer in
the city. 1'her they have given a
boost to property in the center of the
city bounded by parts Of Congress and
Golden Hill streets, east by Water
street, west by Broad street and south
by State street. AIN property in Main
street, both sides, north Of Fairfield
avenue to Congress street, has been
increased in valuation. A valuation
Of $4,000 per front foot has been set
on property from Fairfield avenue
just north of Main street to Elm
street. This valuation. was arrived at
because of the recent sale of property
owned by St. Patrick's church, facing
Elm street. This property had a
1904 feet frontage and the assessors
claim it sold for $85, ,00n-
North from Elm street the valua-
ton is graduated from $500 down
to $2,815 at Congress and Main
streets. In Fairfield avenue between
Broad and Water streets, there have
been corresponding raises. From
Broad street to about the center of
the block between Main the valuation
has been made $1,000 per front foot.
Near Main street it is $1,875, going
down to $1,000 near Water street.
On many home owners in the North
End the increase in valuation comes
as a hardship. Practically all that
property on which comparatively new
houses have been built, have been in
creased in valuation.
All property in the Blooklawn dis
trict, the district about Seaside park,
at Beardsley park and in the West
End has been increased in valuation.
All real estate tracts that are being
developed as home sections have also
been largely increased in valuation,
so that many prospective home own
ers having purchased a building lot
will find their taxes increased.
Notices of the increase in valuations
have been sent out and today the as
SCISSORS Office was thronged with an
indignant stream of property owners
demanding to know why the valuation
of their property has been increased.
They got little satisfaction however
and the board Of relief will have some
busy sessions.

HOOVER ASKS
S150,00!O,000
FOR BELCIANS

New York, Jan. 22.-The giving of
an extra daily meal to 25O,OOO Belgian
school children was the greatest ac-
complishment Of the American COM
mission for relief of Belgium in the
opinion of it's chairman, Herbert c.
Hoover, who has just arrived here
from Liverpool. Mr.. Hooven began
today with his colleagues to devise
relief plans for another year.
The extra. meal consists of only
meat hash and bread, the commits
sioner said, but it has helped greatly to
increase the attendance at school.
Many children previously had re-
nlained at home because their parents
feared they would go hungry if al
lowed to go to school.
Mr.. Hoover said there are 8, 800 900
destitute persons in Belgium and p
100000 in France, and it will take
about $3.50, 100000 to- carry on the work
of the commission of another year.
'The situation is far worse than it
has been at any time since the war
started" he declared. cit is a result
Of a. steady degeneration among the
people,"
Only a negligible amount of bus
mess is transacted in Belgium Mr..
Hoover, said. All social and intellec-
tual life is at a standstill, the famous
universities are closed and the pro-
fessors either have scattered or sac
rificed their lives for their country.

WILSON'S s
ADDRESS

Washington, Jan. 22.-The president
in his address to the senate spoke as
follows:
"Gentlemen of the senate: On the
I 9Th of December last I addressed an
identic note to the governments of the
nations now at war requesting them
to state. more definitely than they
had yet been stated by either group
of belligerents, the terms on which
they would deem it possible to make
peace I spoke on behalf Of human
ity and of the rights of all neutral
nations like our own, many of whose
most vital interests the war puts in
constant jeopardy.
"The Central powers united in a re-
ply which stated merely that they
were ready to meet their antagonists
in conference to discuss terms OF
peace.
"The Entente powers have replied
much more definitely and have stat
ed. in general terms, indeed, but with
sucient def1nitenness to imply de-
tails, the arrangements, guarantees
and acts of reparations which they
deem to be the Indispensable cond1-
tions of a satisfactory settlement.
eve are that much nearer a definite
discussion Of the peace which shall
end the present war. We are that
much nearer the discussion of the in
ternational concert which must there
after hold the world at peace. In
every discussion Of the peace that
must end this war it is taken for
granted that that peace must be fol-
lowked by some definite concert OF
power which will make in virtually
impossible that any such catastrophe
should ever overwhelm us again.
Every lover of mankind, every sane
and thoughtful man must take that
for granted.
II have sought this opportunity to
address you because I thought that
owed it to you, as the counsel asso-
ciated with me in the final determine
ton of our international obligations,
to: disclose to you without reserve the
thought and purpose that have been
taking form in my mind in regard to
the duty Of our government in these
days to come when it will be neces-
sary to lay afresh and upon a new
plan the foundations of peace among
the nations.
"It is inconceivable that the people
part in that great enterprise. To take
part in such service will be the op-
porunity for which they have sought
to r:epare themselves, by the very
principles and purposes of their policy
and the approved practices Of their
government, ever since the days when
they set up a new nation in the high
and honorable hope that it might in
all that it was and did show man.
kind the way to liberty. They can
not, in honor, withhold the service
to which they are now about to be
challenged. They do not wish to
withhold it. But they owe it to
themselves and to the other nations
of the world to state the conditions
under which they will feel frse to rem
der it.

McLevy asked why the proposed
bonds were not to be submitted to

opposed to the referendum and
think the other members Of the COM

will have to pay the bills now or
