Lyric

Raul Pereira and his famous stringed sextet delighted. and entertained capaci- ty audiences at the Lyric Thursday even ing. This famous band of finished mu- sicians rendered a most pleasing pro- gramme of well selected numbers and proved one of the big musical treats of the season. Pereira is a wizard on the violin, and his excellent playing brought forth prolonged and appreciative ap- plause. The sextet is composed of a violinist. viola player. cello, bass violin. pianist and Pereira, a violin virtuoso.
 The Kilkenny four. in addition to be- ing harmony singers of excellence, are comedians of merit. This act proved a riot Harry Thorne and company, com posed of Virginia Young, Alberr Hanna and Cecile Holmes, present the domestic troubles of two young couples. In one family the husband is henpecked and in the other the wife is completely dom- ineered by her husband. The lines are bright and the situations exceedingly comical.
 Elizabeth Mayne is a pleasing spot or the bill and she entertains with catchy songs and entertaining comedy. This young lady possesses pleasing person. ality and her work is accorded much applause. The bill opens with high class dancing act presented by Decims and Eddie Mclean. The Mutual picture. are interesting and entertaining.

Iron and Steel ReuiesU

Steps are being taken to bring in addi-
 tional low phosphorous ore from Cuba.
 The supply of copper bearing low phos- phorus run also has been endangered by the practical stoppage of shipments of pyrites from Spain. An impending short age of iron continues, reflected by con ditions. In Pttsburg, valley and lake ter ritory leading sellers already are booked to within 8 small margin of full output for last half. and large requirements for companies in district heavily engaged in war work remain uncovered. Despite ur- gent efforts of these consumers similar condition prevails in the east.
 Constant accretions of war tonnage are
 holding unified orders on mill books to | a very large volume. The question be- comes pertinent as to what proportion of this tonnage over and above the sev- eral million tons of essential require
 ments may be regarded as liquid busi- ness, especially in view of changing as poets of manufacturing operations. Di- rectly upon this point are sweeping regu- lations requiring all exports to be li- eensed which went into effect this week
 That these restrictions will cause fur ther differential in iron and steel order l books is apparent

 The Iron Trade Review today says;
 Production in iron and steel is work
 ing back into accustomed channels, but
 slowness of process serves to illustrate
 severe length to which curtailment had
 extended Open hearth operations in Pittsburg and valley districts have been
 at Sl per cent this week against S4 per
 cent last week. Poor gas coal has been the chief cause of this reduction. Blast furnace operations show greatest in crease, gaining Il per cent to 80 per cent of ca opacity. Bessemer plants were 63 per cent active compared with 61 per cent the proceeding week. By-product coke plants have been operated at 9l per cent. Freight congestion was the cause of an increase from 162,0o0 tons January 1 to 194 900 tons February 1 in southern fur mace stock of pig iron.
 The problem of pig iron supply presses mere insistently with each passing week. In the east the government has taken a hand in the serious shortage in standard 1 low phosphorous iron for reduction. It | is arranged to have made from foreign ore in stock about 2o,oOo tons of metal.

Leader of Party Says Ohio Business Men Are Stand ing Squarely Behind
 the President COL. SMITH TALKS ON PRESIDENT M'KINLEY Interesting Talks Are Made at Luncheon and City Is Given Much Praise
 by Visitors

Cleveland boosters left Birmingham last night with about the greatest chunk Of real old southern hospitality packed away in their systems that it has ever been their pleasure to extend thanks for, according to their own utterances. They spent day in Birmingham, the memory of which Edward Bower, president or the Cleveland board of manufacturers and wholesale merchants, said would ever be kept green.
 Upon arrival here yesterday they were met by a committee from every CIVIC organization and club in Birmingham, and escorted to the Southern club, from which place they circulated over the city for two hours looking up their customers and meeting men in their lines of busi- ness At 1 o'clock the party, 5o strong augmented by at least 100 Birmingham business men, assembled at the Southern club in the ballroom, where luncheon was served.
 WELCOME FOR VISITORS

 PRESIDENT M'KINLEY
 Col. T. o. Smith made a delightful speech. carrying the Ohioans away with his eloalence when he referred to Major McKinley and his acts as President, stat ing he recognized the man from the south as quickly and freely as he did the Yankee in issuing commissions in the army for service in the Spanish-A Amerlcan war. He referred to President Mckin- leywearing the emblem of the Southern Confdeeracy on his breast and address ing g gathering at Montgomery composed of Confederate veterans, when he said My fellow citizens.' and what an i'm pression this made upon the south. Col onel Smith was in very happy mood, and his speech was a decided hit.
 Edward Bower the leader of the Cleve- land party, was next heard. MT Bower made a fine preseRta ton of sbuSiness mems patriotism, and stated that Cieve- r1and was behind the President and thai they would sacrifice everything to win the war and that he knew the heart of Birmingham throbbed in accord.

and Germans May Never

Paris.-The recent successes are but

have followed one after another since
Gen. Foch launched his counter often

plan been followed out with such
clocklike regularity, and military opiA-

splendid genius which conceived 1t and
OF the mastery way in which it is be-

The allied victory is hailed general
ly as being equal to the first victory of
the Marine as strategic masterpiece.
What the consequence OF this vic
tory will be cannot yet be gagged, but
that 1t will be far-reaching already ap.
pears certain to the commentators.
The enemy cannot hold the Vesle line,

Aisne, because since the recapture Of
