Dig Cast VIII BE Seen IN the Wash.
ington Opera House Tonight

and his combined forces will make
their bow In a brand new production
tonight in the Washington Opera
House, "Japland." The offering Is
classed as an operate, minstrel farce
comedy In two acts and fourteen
scenes. Edwin DeCoursey takes cred
it for the book, while the tunes were
composed and arranged by Harry d.
Marshall, George Num- being re-
sponsible for the staging of the en-
tertainment. The author does not re-
fer to "Japland" as play, but rather
as a vehicle in which the better ele-
ments Of opera, minstrelsy and farce
are happily blended the aim being to
satisfy the eye with sartorial ele-
gance and gorgeous stage settings
and please the ear with lyric and
melodies both new and old.
The cast includes the entire John
w. Vogels Minstrels, prominent
among whom are Arthur Deming, the
Emperor" whose career in Minis.
trelsy dates back to the days of Vogel
and Deming, George Primrose and
Primrose & West; Tommy Donelly,
the noisy boy with AL G. Fields;
Charles Hildreth, big feature with
The late Honey Boy Evans Minstrels;
Skinny Lamont, the eccentrique, who
claims the ability to hide behind a
hair pin; Ted Godfrey and his IL
Dancing Demons; Billy Mack, John
;. Paige; the Ruzzotto Sextette, and
Prof. James l.. Finning's double SYM
)hony orchestra.
The operate contingent includes
Miss Hazel Davenport, late prima
donna soprano with the Manhattan
Opera Co., Miss Josephine r. Bond
;ontralto, Chicago Grand Opera Co.,
Theodore Burton, tenor, and Claude
Amsden, basso. whose powerful voice
and forceful personality in the name
part of Wang" won such glorious
praise from critics throughout the
'ountry; also Mile. Rose Edyth, pre-
Mere danseuse, and classic ballet
direct from the Metropolitan Grand
Opera Co., and the royal Japanese
icisha girl chorus; truly wonderful
array of talent for one organization.
The program includes a richly
dressed Colonial Minstrel First Part
in which every member of the great
coalition of fifty or more is seen and
heard, the beautiful Japanese tea
house and garden forming a pleasant
decoration and effective color scheme
for the important musical pot in
which the excellent soloists, orches-
ira and conductor deliver their var
ious messages. The score is inten-
tionally of the light, airy variety, such
as Three Little Maids" from "The
Mikado," Cigarette Song" from
Wang" and duet from "Pinafore."
Yet there are more difficult selections,
such as "The Sextette" from Lucia"
the "Serenade" from Mozart's Don
Giovanni" "One Fine Day" from
Madame Butterfly" and Adas aria
from die Feen," interpretations of
higher calibre, for every effort of the
kind is burlesqued by the travesty
folk engaged to instil merriment. In
short, Mr.. .Vogel's happy inspiration
10 made to amuse, and amuse it does
out there is enough of the tone quality
TO interest and entertain that patron
those only desire is the songs of the
Masters.

The houses reported that the Offer
ings of the day were common but that
the market continues very strong. The
low grades of tobacco are still COM
handing good prices.
The following were the sales yes

War Army Bill To Be-
come A Law In A
Few Days
President Not Expected To
Disapprove the Roosevelt
Proposal

Washington, May 15.-The war
army bill probably become law
within the next few days and before
the end of the week the comprehen-
sive plans of the War Department
for raising force to fight Germany
will be in motion.
Conferees of Senate and House
agreed upon the bill today, deciding
to retain the Senate amendment un
der which Col. Roosevelt may be au-
thorized to raise not more than four
divisions Of infantry for service in
France. The report will be taken up
by the House probably tomorrow
and its adoption there is expected to
be followed quickly by final action
in the Senate.
From the Congress the bill will go
to the White House for the sigma
ture of President Wilson before it
becomes law. Although the admin
istration opposed attaching any vol
unteer provision to the selective
draft plan, it is generally believed
the President will sign the measure
if it reaches the White House with
:he Roosevelt provision in it. The
bill as it stands merely would au-
thorize, not require, the recruiting
of volunteer force for service in
France.

General Petain, the Idol Of
the Soldiers viii Give New
Initiative in French Drive

Paris, May l5.-Genera! Petain
was appointed as commander-in-
chief of the French armies opera
ting on the French front at a cabi-
net meeting today.
General Nivelle was placed in
command of a group of armies.
General Foch, who has played an
important part in the battles of the
Marine and the User, succeeded
Genarl Petain as chief of staff at
the ministry of war.
The transfers were approved by a
cabinet council on the recommends
ticn of the ministry Of war. General
Nlville some time ago succeeded
General Joffre in chief command
along the western front Recently a
new military Office was created, that
of chief Of the general staff, to
which General Petain was assigned
with authority to act as the princi-
pal adviser to the minister Of war
upon all military movements.
This continued General Nivelle in
chief command 1T the front, with
General Petain as the chief consul
tative authority at the ministry of
war in formulating movements, but
without actual command of the
troops in the field, for which his
experience appeared to qualify him
The new arrangements gives Gen.
eral Petain actual command at the
front and General Foch will assume
the position of chief of staff at the
ministry of war relinquished by
General Petain.

Petrograd, via London, May 15.-
The Council of Soldiers and Work
mems deputies has issued an appeal
to the army which declares that
German imperialism is seeking to
destroy revolutionary Russia and
enslave the Russian people. It ap-
peals to soldiers to defend Russia
with their power and declares that a
separate peace is impossible.
The appeal says that the only So
luton Of the war must be a general
peace among all nations by common
agreement. It asserts that the coun-
ell is aiming at peace by calling for
= revolution among the workmen
and peasants Of Germany and Aus
txia-H Hungary, but that peace cannot
be achieved unless the enemy at
the front is checked.
The manifesto concludes with
begging the soldiers not to re-
nounce their offensive and warns
against fraternizing with the enemy,
which it says cannot end the war.
The executive committee of the
delegates after discussing the inter-
nal situation in Russia, decided by
forty-one votes against nineteen to
favor the participation Of represen-
tatives of Socialist parties in the
provisional government.
Before voting in favor of the par
3icipation of the Socialists in the
pfovisional government, representa-
tiyes Of the general staff visited the
executive committee Of the Soldiers
and Workmen's deputies and spoke
most earnestly of the seriousness of
the situation. According to their in.
formation, the speakers said, several

leutons Losses are Heavy On
Assaults Against The French
Protected By Their Artillery
On New Position

What had been everywhere
thought to be commencement of
a strong offensive by the Germans
against the British along the Lens
St. Quentin line and the French
from the region northwest of Sois-
sons into Champagne apparently
was only one of the sporadic counter
attacks which the Germans have
been throwing against the fronts
since the spring offensive began.
Around Bullecourt the intens
fighting which has been going on for
more than a week continues assault
after assault against the British.
Tuesday four of these were launch
ed, the Germans losing in all of
them except the last, when their
troops drove back the British in the
western portion of the village for a
distance of about 100 yards. In all
the attacks the German casualties
were extremely heavy, in one Of
them about $50 dead and wounded
having been left inside the British
lines.
Along the front held by the
French artillery, actions prevailed
throughout Tuesday, the Germans
failing to follow up their infantry
attacks of Monday, in which the
French war office says they suffered
heavy losses.
The Italians have assumed the Of
fensive against the Austrians in the
Isonzo region along front of near
ly twenty-five miles. Following ex.
tremely heavy bombardments the
Italians loosed their infantry in
frontal attacks and made consider
able progress at various points, ac-
cording to the Italian official COM
munication. The battle is still in
progress.
Another success by the Venizelist
troops, fighting side by side with the
French forces in Macedonia, is re-
corded by Paris, two works extend
ing over fronts of more than 1900
yards having been captured and held
in the face of counter attacks.
