4 GENIUS OF LIGHT OPERA

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger
 Lecocq's operas are so little known to the younger generation. outside ot France, that his death at the age of Ss will be to many merely reminder that he had outlived most of his ycontempo- raries It was nearly half a century ago that he won world popularity with La File de Madame Angot," one of the most brilliant works in a brilliant school. He was of the tribe of Offen- bach. and was often compared with him. although as matter of fact, his own style was quite distinctive. He won his first fame with "Le Docteur Miracle, . in 1857. but 1t was 10 years before he was really established as a public favorlte In the days of Maurice Grau a number Of his operas gained great vogue with American audiences-among them, be- sides La File de Madame Angot,' 6'Le Petit-Duc." "Girofle- Girofla," and Bar be-Bleue." Lecocq was a better musi- clan than Offenbach. but except in one instance he stuck to the light and gay vein of composition, avoiding intricate orchestration, and filling his score with bright and sparkling melodies. His was not the highest kind of musical art, but it was the best of its kind. The light opera stage misses greatly in these days the qualities so conspicuously displayed by Lecocq. Is it too much to hope that works with so much charm may some day be heard again?

nouGHNurs AND EGGNoG

From the New York World.
 The fame of the American doughnut grows apace. Apparently it is now to
 be employed to help on the success. of
 the coming loan drive of the united war workers Two Salvation Army lassies who have become renowned in France for their expertness in frying this fight ing food for American soldiers, are now on their way overseas to take part in the campaign. New York, which has witnessed almost every conceivable nov
 city of appeal to it's war sympathies, must yet have curious interest in re- serve for these celebrities of the frying pan.
 Of related consequence is the report of the great popularity of American egg nog among French soldiers. Eggnog is | the indicated beverage to accompany doughnuts. as the Christmas and New Years traditions of America bear wit ness. Cider. of course, is recognized substitute, but, after all, substitute

Worst of Influenza
 Epidemic Is Over

ID IRMINGHAM has passed the crit lO ical stage of the influenza epi- demic with a comparatively small per centage of fatalities. The lifting of the ban on theatres and motion picture houses Thursday and the removal of all other restrictions imposed to fight the disease is cheering news to the people of this city who have under gone an epidemic that was quite se- yer locally, although we have fared much better than many other cities in the United States.
 The prompt and efficient steps taken by the health authorities, supported by the city commission, and the public spirited cooperation given by individ- uals and business concerns, some of which suffered considerable pecuniary losses, particularly the motion picture houses and theatres, made it possible to check the disease
 It is now believed that so far as Birmingham is concerned, the influ- enza epidemic is practically ended. Too much praise cannot be given to the doctors of Birmingham their numbers greatly reduced by enlistments in the army, welfare agencies and many vol unteer workers who toiled night and day to care for the sick. Hospitals were improvised on short notice and needy persons who fell i'll were taken in charge as soon as their condition became known.
 There were 9343 cases of influenza reported and 379 burial permits is- sued. For a city of more than 100000 population, these figures are not large.

Appeal for Red Cross
 Linen Shower Fund

7HHE Birmingham Red Cross chap
 u ter's linen shower quota calls for fifteen thousand towels and four tnSisand sheets, The campaign has been in progress nearly four weeks. The influenza has retarded the work; otherwise the goal would have been reached before now. As it is, only about half the quota is in sight.
 The linens are to be sent to the American hospitals abroad and the hospitals at the cantonments and all the reconstruction hospitals in the United States. There is urgent need for them and the Red Cross is ren- dering noble service in supplying the need.
 Many persons have donated sheets, but as the linen must be of a certain length and width to conform to army requirements, money should be sent to Red Cross headquarters rather than material. Every sheet and towel must be laundered, which the local laun- dries are doing free. Each sheet must

SHOES IN wAR-TIME

From the New York World.
 The story of the hotel guest in Cologne who brought suit against his landlord to recover damages for a pair of shoes that disappeared overnight. and who lost his case because he had not better protected such valuable property. may sound comic in countries where shoes and leather need not be locked up in a safe overnight. But in country where clothes are made of paper tho losa of good pair of shoes is not . slight mat ter.
 Even in the United States. where 1t has been necessary for the government to regulate the sale of shoes, a pair thar formerly cost s5 and ss now brings from $o to s12 But the highest of these prices would be regarded as wonderful bargains in Berlin or Vienna.
 There have been shoes that no owner would have left at hotel except in the safe. In 1902 a young American lady ap- peared at a dance in London. according to press reports of that date. in shoes resplendent with diamonds worth $5,0oo A London belle, we are also told, waltzed in slippers in which sapphires and pearls smothered the groundwork of satin, while silver bells on the instep tinkled to the measure A young English lady was presented by her fiance with a pair or slippers that almost rivaled Cinderella's. s. being made of f10O bank notes with gold buckles.
 Possibly remipiscence of such splen- dor is responsible for the artistic foot wear of American girls as lately seen on Fifth avenue-shoes that seemed too brilliant for any place except the ball. room. But on these an edict has gone forth. They may no longer dazzle the eyes of plain people. They are too iuxu- rious when dollars are needed for bonds and cannon balls. ships, guns and sol- diers. Their glory Is departed. We must have shoes to win the war

 remnant of self-respect left that made him want me to think him above being a pan handler"
 One bitter cold day l found him thinly clad standing by a radiator in the post office shivering and looking the picture of woe. I walked over and said: "Joe, dollar. go across. the street and get you a hot one." Tears cafne into his eyes as he admitted he was half-starved. I told him to always come to me when he was in need, and he often did, but he never wanted more than dollar at time.
 I talked to him as best I could, for knew he was in the grip of an awful habit that was hurrying him into the gutter, for one day I caught him on Morris avenue picking in barrel for cast-away fruit. Somehow he was ser against taking any of the "cures.' told him his only hope was to get on farm far away from any city.

Cheering Report on
 Health of Our Troops

1N HE prowess of our fighting men ll in France causes every patri- otic American to swell with pride. Their valor not only accords with the best traditions of this country, but their splendid discipline and military skill have been the marvel of every commander who has seen them in ac- tion 'ansars
 And now the authoritative state ment, coming from Major General. Ire land, who has succeeded Surgeon Gen. eral w. c. Gorgas, retired for age, that the standard of the medical care given the American soldiers was "the highest in the world" and that only two per cent of the comparatively small number of the men ill, including the wounded, suffer from disease, is a matter for general rejoicing.
 In organizing the United States army medical service in the field and in bringing science and experience to bear on the work of sanitation and hospital planning, Dr. Gorgas mini mixed the horrors of war and added to his laurels in protecting and con- serving health.
 The United States is fortunate, too, in having the personnel of the medical corps in France include such distin- guished specialists as Brig. Gen. J. M. T. Finey of Johns Hopkins, chief consulting surgeon; Brig. Gen. w. S.. Thayer of Johns Hopkins, chief med- ical officer; Col. Joel Goldwaite of Boston, orthopedtc surgeon; Col. T. l w. Salmon of the Rockefeller Insti- tute, head of the department of med ical diseases-th and many other experts.
 Notwithstanding the heavy fight ing in which the Americans have been engaged" said Dr. Ireland, "the med ical force has been able to handle all cases requiring it's attention," and when he left France "the hospitals still had vacant beds in reserve" Dr. Ireland says the work of the medical corps is materially aided by "the mo- rale of the men themselves" When the history of the titanic war comes to he written the. medical branch of the American drmy Ull form conspicu- ous and glorious part of it.
