 { She has done it through her former ambassador in England, Prince Lich- nowsky He has been corroborated by a former director Of the great krupp gun factory, a Dr. Muhlon. And the truth of their testimony has been sub stantially admitted by the man who va Gcrmany's former minister when Pr .ce Lichnow3ky was German am' b; ldor in London-namely, Herr yC Iagow.
 e documents in the case have been obtained by the state department at Washington and translated. They are complete and convincing.
 After setting forth all the damning evidence against Germany, Prince llChnOWSky sums It up.

We thus deliberately destroyed every chance of a peaceful settlement.
 "I is no wonder that in the pres ,uco of these indisputable facts the " hole civilized world outside of Ger many lays the entire blame for the world war at our door.

There has been a story current for
two decades among the French design

money power, for the reason that they
do not approach the choosing and pur-

discrimination displayed by the French
woman. They buy a gown because. it

women accept the desire Of the Amer
lean designers to launch an ankle
length skirt.
Those who have been criticized for
exploiting this design at a time when
the conservation OF wool is necessary
insist that they can cut such a skirt
out Of less material than the short,
fiaring one which has been the fash
ion. An extremely narrow, short skirt
has proved to be an impossibility be-
cause of the manner in which 1t rides
above the knees when n Is seated.
There Is an immense amount of vel
veteen, also soft velours, velvet and
heavy satin. One does not have to use
wool In order to have a warm or fash

been accepted as a fabric for the COM
honest kind of usage, and 1t serves in

west to the camp. While we were be-
ing marched through the streets q
woman walked alongside Of US for
quite q way. talking to the boys in
English and asking them about the
war. She said she did not believe
anything the German papers printed.
She said she vas an Englishwoman
from Liverpool and that at the out
break of the war not being able to
get out of Germany. she and her chill
dren had been put in prison and that
every day for yer a week they had
put her through the third degree; that
her children had been separated from
her and that she did not know where
they we're.
She walked along with us for several
blocks until a sentry heard her say
something not very complimentary to
the Germans and chased her away.
When we arrived at the camp we were
put into the receiving barracks and
kept there six days. The condition of
these barracks was not such that you
could describe 1t. The floors were ac-
tually nothing but filth. Very few Of
the hunks remained the rest had been
torn down-for fuel. l suppose.

Geo. Likfelt, a resident of the White
river valley for the past eight years,
was here this week. He said he had
a small acreage of wheat and oats
which will make a light yield this year
due to dry, weather in the growing
season. He says the White river land
is very rich and all that is required
to make it yield large crops every
year is sufficient moisture. He plans
to put in an irrigation ditch in the
future, or as soon as arrangements
can be made. He adds that he has
demonstrated to his entire satisfac-
ton that grain can be grown there.

What a Singer
Should Know
By Donate A. Paradise

The voice Is formed by the action of
the diaphragm, lungs and larynx. and
is modified by the action of the pha-
rynx, palate, tongue, nasal caYities

larynx) more or less deep or high tones
are produced.
Respiration is one Of the greatest
factors in the art of singing in fact.
the foundation of the voice. Theirs
fore it is of absolute necessity that
strict attention be paid to this fune-
tion. Also the practice Of deep breath
ing purihes the blood and keeps the
body in good physical condition. The
venous blood is full of poison, which it
has acquired in its circulation through
the body, and this poison can opIv be-
removed by bringing it into coa,acr
with the atmospheric arr, which tskes
place in the lungs by the process Of
breathing. When taking a breath no
sound should be heard Loud breath.
ing is not only improper, but very m
pleasant to hear
Flexibility is needed by the voice
for the varied coloring of song With
out it singing is cold and without feel
ing, and no expression can be given
by promiscuously increasing and dimin-
ishing the power of the voice in mu-
steal phrases. Singing is subject to the
same rules as speaking Joy or splen-
dor is not expressed with the same
quality of tone as prayer or love. In
the case Of the former the voice is
brilliant and vibrating with Joyous
feeling, while in the latter case the
voice must be yelled and soft TO exl
press sanctity or alteration.
1t is not sufficient to have only
good voice to become great artist
One must also have musical intelligence
and dramatic feeling That there are
so few great singers is not due 20 the
scarcity of good voices with the above
requirements, but the lack Of strict dis
cipline in vocal training.

teachers who think they can produce
