savings campaign will be made next
week.
The members Of the war savings com
mittee expect much help from the
movement which is being launched to
have the 100000 Boy Scouts of Amer
lea visit 100000 homes throughout
the nation. To supply the youthful
couriers with the knowledge they need
to present the idea of continuous saw
ing the Treasury Department has just
issued a manual for Boy Scouts of
America on War Savings Stamps"
give million red postcards,' tho
manual says in explaining the plan for
moblllzing the boys, "hayc been print
cd by the government especially for
the use Of the Boy Scouts of America
1t Will be our object to get signatures
on every one Of them. When you get
some one to sign (. red postcard it
means that the signcr has given his
order to the local postmaster t, deliver
TO hlm {. o. d. a given number Of war
savings stamps or thrift stamps.
Boys Collect No Money
The postmaster turns over the order
70 the proper letter carrier, who de-
| llvers the stamps and collects The
money from the person whose sigma
ture you secured. Your part is plain.
You collect no money. You only take
orders for stamps, get signatures on
the cards. mail them without postage
and the postotlice does the rest.''
AS soon as a Scout has taken orders
from twenty-five individuals, it is ex.
planned, he VIII receive an "achieve-
ihehV mutton and the ace medal" if
his sales averaged $40 each. The "ace
Scout" in each state who throughout
the year wins the greatest number Of
awards will receive a personal letter
of thanks from President Wilson.

There is only one thing left for him

Yesterday at the reply madc by Senator
WadSworth to their last letters in ref
crcncc to the Federal suffrage amend
ment that they gave up all hope of
securing his vote and issued the de-
inand for his resignation.
Senator Wadsworth brought this
down on his head by a letter he wrote
10 Mrs. Wilmer Kcams, a suirragist of
Rockville Centre and one Of the orig
inal White House pickcts.
at is my intention to vote agninst
the Federal suffrage amendment" was
the gist OF the Senator's letter
Mrs. kearns rushed in from Long

the officials of the National Woman's

Collection of A. F. Bowman
Being Shown at Anderson
Galleries

A rare collection of Chinese porce-
lains is now exhibited at the Anderson
Galleries prior to their sale on the
afternoons of February % and March

OF London, has been fortunate in OBJ
tanning a whole range Of colors, shapes
and periods from Han to Tao Kuang.
Perhaps the most remarkable item of
the collection is white porcelain vase
decorated with imperial dragons in
peach bloom and mounted on an ex~
ouisitely carved ivory dragon stand
which came from the imperial summer
palace at Pekine. A pair of pigeon
blood amphora vases, sang de- -bput
bottleshaped vase, two sculptured fig-
ures of mailed warriors in bronze, an
eggshell blue and white hawthorn gin.

beautiful and interesting items in the
collection.
Others are in soft and hard paste
blue and white blanc-de- chine, apple
green, ccladon, maZarin blue, iron rust
and mirror black.
Mr.. Bowman is obliged to dispose Of
his collection owing to severe financial
reverscs caused BY the war

Music
Russian Symphony Orchestra
Heard in Beethoven Pro-
gramme at Carnegie Hall

Though one would suppose that the
subject of Beethoven's music had been
pretty we'll exhausted by this TING,
there are still scholarly musicians who
are convinced they can throw new light
on the matter. One Of these, Henri
Verbrugghcn, conducted the Russian
Symphony Orchestra through the Le
moro Overture, No. 3, and the Third
Fifth symphonies yesterday afternoon
at Carnegie Hall, in an effort to demon
strate his theory that more careful
marking Of the dynamics III Bee
thoyen's scores, together with a certain
Encouragement in the balance Of the
instruments, will more perfectly ex
press Beethoven's in,en,ion in them.
Mr.. Verbrugghen, who attracted no lit
tie attention when he conducted a
weeks "Bcethoven festival" in London
in 1914, is chiefly concerned over the
fact that in most performances Of
Beethoven's works the dynamic effects
are undervaiued and many OF the voices
are not heard. But where the reviewer
of music, in such cases. blames the
conductor, he blames rather the con-
vcntional markings, the altered pro-
portions Of the modern orchestra and
the bad habits of orchestral perform
ers. For these conditions he has sought
to make correction. even. as some have
said, to provide ''fool-proof score"
His theories in themselves are rea-
sonable enough and do no violence to
the spirit of Beethoven. But to what
extent they we're validated by yester-
days concert it is hard to say, for the
men whom he conducted form an or
chestra by no means expert, and he had
but little opportunity for painstaking
rehearsal. 1t was evident that he
sought broad dynamic sweeps and that
he gave close attention to pianissimo
effects which are not usually cultivated
by conductors. But his methods, what
ever they are, are by no means fool
proof. The orchestra yesterday was
not always in tune or in time. Ere
qucntly the subsidiary voices could not
be heard, and the forte passages were
too often rough and noisy.
One does not lay all this to Mr. Ver-
brugghen's account, but it would seem
that even with the best Of orchestras

Drama
Germany and Germans
Routed With Losses in
New Comedy
BY Haywood Broun

"heh nate reaches a certin intensity
sa'lre becomes impossible. A plav
about Germany written by two E,nr,;sb
authors was produced at the Punch and
judy Theatre last night. The first act
was rather clever satire, for here most
oil the work was done with tho rainier
put as the play went on the authors
got madden, and madden, and presently
they were hitting their Hunnish char
acters over the head with coal scuttles
and throwing things at them. 1t is hard
Tor any OF us to be good humorcd about
RUSSIAN officers just now, and any at
Tempt to do so is apt to fall short Of
intentions. AS like as not it Will ret
down to mere calling of names and
thumbing noses. That is not much
use now. One Of the most Ineffective
ways of fighting the Germans is to
make faces at them.
The play by Rudolph Bcsicr and
Sybll Spottiswoode concerns an Ameri-
can girl who malries young German
officer against the wishes of her fa-
ther. She soon discovers that she is
expected TO love, honr and obey not
only her husband but Germany as well.
she finds the cooking difficult and the
coloneIs wife impossible. This par
ticular colonel's lady WAS no kin what
ever to Judy O'Grady, because nobody
could get under her skin. When the
colonel's wife tops off some exceed
lnGly lmpertnent advice with rude re-
marks about America the girl orders
her out of the house. Just then the
husband returns and he commands his
Wllc to apologize to tho German lady.
Sho does so grudgingly. but refuses
point blank when he also orders her
to send "A written apology. He then
chokea her. Sho leaves him, and in
the last act we ind that she no longer
loves him, although she Is willing to
say goodby before he goes to war. The
play ends with the American girl wish
ing to herself that her husband had
been born i'll some country other than
Germany.
Her Country" is probably literary
rerrisal for Kuno Meyers recent Ber-
lin lectures on English social life. I'M
fortunately the play leaves some OPEN
ings for comebacks by the other side
Much OF the humor was concerned with
German bad taste in furniture, This
is fair enough, but it will be difficult
to defend some of our Harlem homes

High Paid Railroad Officials Who Do Not Earn Their
Salaries Are the Men Whose Jobs Are in Danger
Under Government Control

bility to the vice presidents Office
not the working kind, Of course. 1t
is even limited that there are a few
presidents and chairmen of the board
who owe their dignities and their
salaries to the abilities of their faith
ers rather than to any unusual tai
ent of their own for railroading.
Now, perhaps, it was nobody's
business. and perhaps nobody is hurt,
If their fathers sons or good fellows
in the same social set were inducted
into railway offices that had nothing
really big or important about them
except the title and the salary-so
long as the railways were in private
control. 1t is different now. The
government, using the railways as a
great war club, may have deficits to
make up out Of taxation.
Trouble in Store
For Lawyers
Railway lawyers are said to be an
other class of comfortable gentlemen
who will presently experience pro-
nounced discomfort. The lobbying
lawyer has already been dispensed
with, and the legislative agent is no
more, but, more than that, the sure
enough legal staf's are due for de-
pletion. One medium-sized Western
railway has been found to have a
permanent legal staff that costs it in
officials salaries alone $220,O0O a
year.
Attention is also being paid to ex-
cessive as we'll as superfluous sala-
ries. It is believed that, though the
successful operating executive usu-
ally earns more than he gets, some
roads have shown a tendency to boost
salaries without regard to services
rendered. The statement is made
that on not the largest system the
total Of salaries paid above $4,000
a year approXimates q million dol
lars, and that the road in question
went through receivership with the
salaries flying.
Another sort Of salary that is like
ly to be cut or eradicated is that of
the really big men who were invalu-
able to their roads under conditions
Of private and competitive control
but for whom there seems TO be moth ..
ing to do under government control.
In this class, without any real dis
credit to them, may be found some
very eminent presidents and board
chairmen. 1t is held to be a question
whether, under changed conditions,
any financial executive is worth $75,-
600, 100000 or S150,000 a year.

he would show weakness for the sem
sational. He is demonstratve con-
ductor, waving his left arm often for
no visible purpose except the slim
ulation of enthusiasm. He loves over
much the journey from pianissimo to
fortissimo, and seeks effect in violent
contrast OF tempo. To ali this there
is no rigid a priori objection. But
after this one Inadequate test one feels
inclined to conclude shat all which Mr..
Verbrpgghen seeks to do by altered
as we'll without them by conductor of
ability with an orchestra of experience.
At Aeolian Hall in The afternoon Sig
ismond Stojow played an "allPol-
lsh" piano programme containing many
items OF interest. Paderewski's splen-
did variations and fugue in T. fiat mi
nor, Op. 23, opened the programme.
Little known composers like Noskowski
and Szymanowski were represented and
Mr.. Stojowski's own polish Idyls" and
Theme Cracovien" preceded the final
Chopin pieces. The pianist played ad-
mirably and was warmly received.
At last nights concert of the Phil
harmonic Orchestra Josef Holman
gave reserved and finely chiselled
reading of the Schuman piano concerto
in A minor. supported by good ac-
compartment under Mr.. Stransky's ba-
ton. The other outstanding work on
the programme was Brahms fourth
symphony, played as Brahms is usually
played at these concerts.
A very small and very talented col
ored boy, one Eugene Mars Martin,
gave violin recital last evening at
Aeolian Hall, assisted by the Martin
Mason Trio. The lad came through
the exacting Bach concerto in A minor
with credit and revealed marked traces
Of the feeling for sensuous tone and
energetic rhythm which one looks for
in musicians Of his race.
Mr.. de Scgurola came back to the
opera last night after an illness of
several weeks, singing the part OF
Franz in "Lodoletta" with no end Of

Some Revelations

The search for the high-up official
whose only claim to a big salary is
family connection, social ties and fa-
vor with an important shareholder or
banking house is now on, and it is in
timated that in the not distant future
there viii be some surprising revc-
lations and some Offices without oc-
cupants. The favorite title for the
good fellow with q big railway sal
ary is said to he that Of vice-presi-
dent.
Some railways have perhaps more
vicc-presidents than they have divi-
sions. There are railway vice-pres-
idents in New York, it is said, who
are drawing $4,000 a year and up

whose stationery they grace. Sons

said, also show remarkable adapta-
