Headquarters of the American
troops with the British Army in
France, June 1.-American boys in
the war zone learning from British
officers and soldiers what the war has
taught in the way OF battle tactics are
getting an antidOte for the mental af-
fects of their fighting education. This
is offset by compound of gardening
and pets.
1T is not a good thing for these
boys that their minds be centered
solely on stabbing, shooting and throt-
ting" said young colonel of the
British army to the correspondent of
The Associas ed Press today. This of
ficer, who won his promotion at a lit
tie over thirty by gallant conduct at
Loos and other places where the
Black Watch distinguished itself, now
schools where musketry, machine-gun
fire, the use of the bayonet and jiu.
jitsu are taught.
He pointed to an American boy who
was industriously spading future po
tato patch. "This is how we try to
tighten their thoughts" he added.
IA New Zealand band was playing
lively airs on the green, a litter oil
pigs was squealing an accompaniment
from sly hidden behind a thicket
and just around the corner hens were
clucking to their broods from an en-
closure alongside which was a pen Of
highly bred rabbits. Meanwhile two
pet dogs parked in answer to the rat
tie of machine guns from the ranges
where newly arrived allies were try
ing their craftsmanship.
i The men who were not shooting
cultivating ground already sown on
preparing for further seeding were
trimming the lawn or tending flower
beds. There is everything here tc
suggest. the opposite of war,
/ The commanding officer who hap
/ pens to be one of the men under whom
/ the regretted Johnny Poe served
would say little of the work of his pu-
/ pills with the bayonet and the gun
further than that the American boys
were keen to learn and quick to alb
| l., IoE4
to his instructors.
This policy prevails at other British
| schools of the same character. Some
of them add Bookkeeping to their pro-
gram. All of them have their pets and
most of them their gardens. All of
them will give their American pupils
much to relieve the depressing effects
of continual thoughts>of bloodshed.

Woman on Peace Delegation
WIS "n''"an and Mrs Smith on Same Platform When
'eoefated clubs Convention Cheers Governors
Stand on Prohibition Amendment

rfesence on the same platform within
a rev feet of each other of Mra
Charles S. Whitman and Mrs. Alfred
e. smith, wife of the Governor-elect
az the second morning session of the
Sta,e Federation of Woman's Clubs
nelo at the Hotel Astor yesterday
morning, caused quite a stir in the
assembly. i '''0
Inc most important resolution adopt
ed was one which suggested to Prssi-
ueht wilson that woman delegate be
SePpo'hted member of the United
states Peace Commission. A copy of
tnls resolution was forwarded imme-
diately to the President. In the dis
cusslon it was suggested the woman
delegate must not FORGET that the com
MISSION was dealing with thieves and
mu derers
During the evening there was mu-
slcai programme and addresses by Cor
nelia Josephine Burr, Mrs. James X.
summers and the poet Edwin Markham.
MRS. Smith arrived before the ses-
sion opened and took a seat in the
front row on the left side of the plat
form. Mrs. Whitman. who arrived la
ter, during an address by Beatrice
FORBES Robertson Hale, occupied an
armchair on the platform, and at the
right of the president, Mrs George D.
Hewitt. Judging from the tone of
speeches and enthusiasm when one of
the delegates referred to Governor
Whitman as "the greatest of war Gov
ernors," Republican sentiment ran high
Mrs. Ella A. Boole, chairman of the
committee on temperance, made a
vehement appeal for ratification of the
prohi bltlon amendment. "The great
war;" she said, "has made it plain that
the manufacture Of alcoholic liquors
can be dispensed with. Prohibition is
as necessary during the demoblization
period as during the period of war. If
there was any doubt Of this the un-
certainty must have been removed
after the celebrations of last Thursday
and Monday. The use of liquor is a
waste of food fuel and manhood"

Violin Recital Pleases

The violinists are upon US. Their
recitals are becoming thick as the
leaves in Vallambrosa. The latest took
place yesterday afternoon at Aeolan
Hall, when Richard Czerwonkv, late
c9ncertmaster of he Minneapolis Or
chestra' appeared before an apprecia-
tive audience Mr.. Czerwonky is an
excellent though scarcely brilliant
artist. His tone was firm and of good
SIZE, though little dry, and his play
ing OF the Bach Chaconne for violin
alone LACKED somewhat in breadth of
style. He was more perfectly satisfv.
ing in the Minor Concer.o of d'AI-
brosio, which Re played with an ad-
mlrable rhythmic sense and a good
deal of nuance. throughout the reci-
tai he displayed an admirable iustness
of intonation.

Opera
New Tenor Makes Metropoli-
tan Debut in Aida and
Is Well Received

Nerdi's Aida more brilliant in its
music, in spite of what is done to it
by singers who seem to be encouraged
tc employ all the tawdry traditions Of
the provinces, than all the noun
mental tinsil of its stage furniture,
was the second opera of the season at
the Metropolitan Opera House last
night.
1t brought back singers who needed
no noisy welcome from the cohorts be-
hind the brass rail and were there
lore the more cordially greeted by the
occupants of chairs in orchestra, bal
eony and gallery. such as Nine. Homer,
who was as fresh and opulent of
voice as if time had ceased all thought
of ravage in her case, Nine. Muzio
and Mr.. Chalmers. 1t introduced
returblshed scenery. some of which,
like that of the first setting of the
second act, had nothing to do with the
drama as 1t presented itself to the
imagination of MasHero, Ghislanzoni
and Verdi when they gave the old
egyptian story q habitation, but which
hIed the eye of the spectator. and
therefore served operate purposes at
least.
1t also gave first hearing to q
new dramatic tenor, signor Giuho
Crimi, who, like his predecessors, for
years conceived Celeste Aida" to be
Il vehicle of strenuous expression, full
OF explosive gasps. instead of the sus-
tanned and exalted ecstasy which the
composer breathed into it. And the
men who stand and wait for the
tenor's shrieks to manufacture delight
saw their duty and did it. The new
conner is serviceable tenor. albeit
an exponent chiefly of traditions which
we had hoped were so threadbare @s
TO be no longer serviceable. His voice
has good metal in it and is true to
pitch, but of sensuous betuty it has
little. He uses it like one trained in
the school of the post-Verdians, in
which violence and righteousness is
the beall and end-all of dramatic ex-
preston.
A refreshment to the ear, a delight
to the lovers of good vocalization in
all its aspects, the most gratifying
demonstration Of art which the evening
afforded came from the singing of Miss
Sundelius in the small but far from
insignificant part of the priestess.
Yet in the glitter and pomp of the
ensemble it was q brilliant Metropoli-
tan evening. H. E. X.

Cupid Knocks at
"Pop's" Door for
First Peace Bride
Gets Warm Welcome, Too,
as Has Been Way Always
for Men in Khaki

Cupid in khaki knocked at the door
of "Pop" Howell's home, at 9 West
Ninth Street, late Tuesday night, and
the welcome which never yet has failed
soldier or sailor in d dilemma was
extended to the first "peace bride" Of
the season.
Pop" who used to live all alone in
the big house, gave it over year ago
to the entertainment of men in uniform.
and his fame has spread to all the
training camps.
POP" guessed the difficulty right off
when he opened the door and saw an
army officer and young woman, blush
ing as pink as her new velvet toque
"Whats the matter? Do you want
TO get married." asked Pop
The soldier said yes, that was it.
and introduced himself as Lieutenant
Adam Fberle, of Camp Humphries. Vir-
glnia. and the young woman IS M SIS
Marian Clarke, of Boston. They had
no friends in New Yprk the lieutenant
said, and did not even know the name of
minister. but he had peace fur
lough" and they wanted to get mar
ried.
Come right in" said "Pop," "wen
fix you up right here"
Within half an hour the big library
was swept clear Of reading tables and
the twenty soldiers lounging about had
decorated d wedding arch with the
Stars and Stripes. A quartette from
the bpttleship Recruit went down eel
lar to practise the wedding march and
the Rev Percy Stickney Grant was
summoned fro maround the corner.
Pop" gave the bride away. Mrs.
William J. Gaynor, widow of Mayor
Gaynor, was matron Of honor.
and Willard Goldsmith. who is Pops"
first assistant in all deeds of hospi-
talty to men in uniform, was best man.
Later Mrs. Grace Ball Middleton. an
other neighbvr of pop" took the
whole party to the Hotel Astor for q
wedding supper.
Lat night there was wedding din
ner for the bridal pair, and at the same
time the first anniversary of the open
ing of Pops" home to the service was
celebrated.
He is down in the city directory as
u. z. Howell. but wherever there is a
man in khaki or ue he is known as
Pop" for over 1000 soldiers and sail
ors have made his home theirs.

semDly rose and applauded. Mrs. Col

Pohcy toward prohibition of "The
,"ashlngton Times" after it was bought
sald that she wished the power to do

so long dominated policies bv defeat

The most prominent speaker at the
AFTERNOON session was William II
Moyer, warden Of Sing Sing prison.
who spoke on the pathetic side Of
prison life. Warden Meyer made a
strong appeal to women to help insure
proper remuneration for work done bv
prisoners, SO that they may continue
to support their families. who are too
often left absolutely destitute.
The warden was preceded by Miss
Neile Swartz, chief of the Bureau Of
industry under the State Industrial
Committee.
Eight to 10 per cent of the women
of the United States are now ENGAGED
IN industrial occupations" she said
"Ihe end of the war must neces-
sarily bring the need Of industrial re-
adjustment, but before we ask women

Art
American Pictures and Other
Objects at Auction
By Royal Cortissoz

The first collection OF pictures 10 De
offered for sale this season is the
one formed by the late Thomas T. d.
Curtis, which will be dispersed at the
Anderson Galleries tonight. 1t is con-
posed of threescore works, mostly
by American artists. George inness
is the conspicuous figure of the occa-
sion, the group of eight or nine ex-
amples Of his brush being of unusual
interest None of these paintings is
precisely important" The value of
the "Sketch Near Montclair," or the
early Autumn" or the delaware Val
ley" is rather that Of the casual, in
tensely personal souvenir These are
moody, spontaneous Impressions, bits
of bold and free brushwork. Museum
administrators and collectors of the
more ambitious order will presumably
pass them by. The amateur of modest
plans may thereby gain mis- chance.
Homer Martin, Ralph Blakelock, a.
H. Wyant, J. Francis Murphy and
few other admirable types are pleas
antly represented in the Curtis collec-
tion. The foreign pictures, save for
charming little landscape by Leon
Richet, are generally commonplace of
the salon, mediocre performances
which call for no further comment.
Another collection at these galleries,
to be sold next Saturday afternoon, is
formed of Spanish American textiles
and vestments belonging to Mr. Merritt
Lund with some additional pieces
consigned from Italy. The vestments
embrace some handsome, specimens.
Among the few sculptures there is
a particularly fine madonna and
Child" a low relief in terra Gotta.
The old Italian andirons, candlesticks
and wedding chests should also be
noted.
The exhibition at the Anderson Gal
leries of British naval photographs in
color has no artistic significance, but
it needs, of course. nothing of the
sort. 1t is merely thrilling instead,
an. extraordinary panorama of such in
cidents as are perfectly calculated to
bring the great war home to the
imagination. The glimpses of the
heroic achievement at Zeebrugge which
have been illustrated to some slight
extent in the newspapers are here ex-
tended and magnifed. Torpedoed ships
are portrayed in their last agonies.
And the Uboat in its turn is put
before us in startling vividness. Sen.
sational episodes fill the foreground,
yet there is nothing more impressive
about the show than that part of it
which reveals something of the per-
sonnel Of the British navy, the youths
their deeds
At the American Art Galleries there
are several collections which contain
all manner of artistic possessions. The
sale set for this afternoon will dis
pose of antique silver, bronzes and 50
on belonging to Mr.. 8. O. Rudkin.
Mrs. Franklin Bartlett's collection of
watches and a quantity of modern sill
YER consigned by Mr.. II. S Manning.
The old silver and the specimens of
Delft, Wedgwood and Lowestoft make
the best passages in this mass of ma
terial. In the bewildering array Of
household furnishings and apholl;cb
ments from several estates which will
be sold tomorrow and Saturday after
moons the honors belong to a group Of
Oriental and italian faience. This
