Several hundred music critics have reported them and the verdicG has been unan- inous that the voice of the artist and the instrument are indistinguishable.
 No other sound reproducing instrument has ever been subjected to the searching tone test. No other instrument could successfully meet so drastic trial.

During the greater part of their re- cent ring enga cement in Boston Frankie Callahan and Lew -2ndler were constantly booed and hissed by the Hub fight fans. From the third round to the end of the eighth, when the contest was stopped by the ref cree, the boxers, especially Callahan, apparently were not doing their best, and in the sixth round the referee was forced to warn the New York lad. However, when the contest end ed it was learned that the boxers did not deserve the shower of abuse. In the second round Callahan broke a bone in his right wrist, and until the fight was stopped he concealed his injury and suffered severe pain. The i injury will prevent Callahan entering the ring for several weeks.

Comment Of Paris Press.

PARIS, January 1.-THE newspapers
attribute capital importance to the
speech Of David Lloyd George. La
Liberte Nkens 1t to strong breeze
that Is "going to dissipate all the
clouds that Germany and It's agents
and accomplices have thrown around
the war aims of tho allies" The In
transigeant calls it a diplomatic act
of great Importance"
The Temps, after noting that 1t was
to the German people Mr.. Lloyd George
spoke when he recalled that tho pro-
longation of the war intensifies the
scarcity Of raw materials more and
more, and that producers would be
obliged to reserve them first for their
own needs and then for the needs of
friendly nations, adds:
when listening to tho solemn words
that have just been sounded IN London
the diplomats and publicists over the
Rhine perhaps are going to sneer. But
there IL tragic reality they cannot
indefinitely conceal from their fellow
citixens-that Is. II Germany remains
as she appears 70 the world today.
perpetualIy thirsting for domination
and perpstuaIly convicted OF bad
faith, she WIN remain isolated after

Democracy to Rule.

THAT the premier should have Sc
lected this democratic channel for his
historic pronouncement Is surely sig
nif1cant of his belief that the organized
movement of democracy is the power
which shall rule the world in the COM
ing golden time"
The People asserts Mr.. Lloyd George
has done inestimab1e service to the
nation and the entente allies in stating
frankly and without reservation Great
Britain's war aims. and adds: 'It will
no longer be possible for our present
enemies to profess honest doubt as to
what we are fighting for, or to delude
any Intelligent German with the fable
that our aim Is the destruction or the
disruption Of the German state or its
neople"
