Already Caruso has several times
given sums as great as 10000 lire to
Italy or to her refugees. It is said
that no one who comes to Caruso. at
his apartment in the Knickerbocler,
New York city. with an appeal that
is needful and that relates to his
home land, is turned away empty
handed.
Washington has not heard Caruso
sing for many years; not, in fact,
since the world has spoken OF his
new manner" OF singing. The re-
splendent glory OF the greatest voice
out of Italy has been heard here, but
there has been added to this. so II is
said. a something finer and more beau
tiful that bespeaks a new Caruso.

The cause OF Italy is receiving IN
this benefit the highest patronage Of
official Washington. Mrs. Wilson gives
her personal interest as patroness,
while the Countess di CeIlere as the
chief social representative OF Italy to
the United States, places the stamp OF
the diplomatic patronage OF the Ital-
ian embassy upon it. All official and
social Washington will be there.
To Mrs. Henry +. Dimock, who is
treasurer OF the benefit, the success
OF the affair is largely due. 1t was
Mrs. Dimock's plan. and her power for
with individuality and
with power anything she undertake es
is well known.

Nine. Frances Aida, as one OF the
three Metropolitan Opera artists to be
heard on this occasion, comes not
alone as artist, but as the wife of Mr.
Gatti-CasazZa, the noted Italian i'm
presario OF the Metropolitan: she rep
resents both her art and the national
interest of Italy. Nine. Aida we know
and deeply admire.
Giuseppe de Luca, the foremost bari
tone OF the Metropolitan season, is a
newcomer. He has been lilSened to
the great Battistini, who has not yet
come to the United States. His sue
cess in New York has equaled that OF
Titta Ruffo. and his voice is said to
be more beautiful.
From Buenos Aires we read OF Ca
russo and Ruffo singing in a benefit
concert where the stalls cost $50 each,
and $50 might have been asked for
them. so enormous was the popularity
of the singers there.
De Luca is called a master of "bel
canto"--that standard Of vocalization
of which Galli-Curci is the feminine
symbol. In his first song recital in
New York in February De Luca was
greeted with waves OF fravos"
throughout the audience. The critics
said he was one of those rare opera
tic artists who catch most happily the
style and the atmosphere of the world
OF song.

THE STEAM-MAkERS
(By Thomas Addison of The
Vigilantes)

Brother mine, there is one basic
fact that perhaps we don't give much
thought to in these present circum-
stances in which we find ourselves.
1t is this: the Government at Wash
ington has only such power to prose-
cute the war as you and |, and all
the army of little fellows throughout
the country, furnish it. We are the
steam that runs the war engine.
Without us it couldn't turn a wheel.
Did you ever ponder this?
Somebody has said that there are
now over three thousand millionaires
in the United States. Say it is so.
AS far as mere money goes their com.
bined wealth couldn't run our end of
this world conflict six months. AS
far as man power goes they couldn't
run it six minutes.
1t is we little fellows, the Common
People, who supply the men and
means that make it possible for I'm
Gle Sam to buck the German Beast
and, under heaven, send it bowling to
it's lair. It's our job, yours and mine
we fellows in the offices, in the
shops, behind the pillow, on the
freight trains, in the shipyards, in the
cotton mills, in every useful industry
where men and women may put in a
lick to keep those wheels in Wash.

ments instituted to perform the tasks
OF government. Not one, not any or
all or them, can put straw in the
kalser's butchering path unless we
little fellows are behind them. We
give forth the energy that makes the
great war engine move. Our strength
lies in. our multiplicity plus unity of
endeavor, as many Goals brought to-
gether under the boiler create steam.
1t is an amazingly cheering thought
this, when the average man, standing
off to himself wonders of what earth.
ly use he is in the terrific emergency
OF these times. 1t is cheering-in.
spiring-to know that no matter how
inconspicuous his individual effort to
help may be it is yet an essential
part of the united effort of all the peo-
pie that gives Washington the motive
power to conduct the war. Separate.
~ we can do nothing that will tell,
but altogether we can compel Fate,
or whatever you care to call it, to do
our bidding.
TO bring what | am trying to say
concretely before your mind, brother
OF mine, let me put it in this way: if
| fail to do my duty in this hour the
lost effort will not be noticeable. But
II you, Also should FAIL and Smith
should fail and Jones and Brown and
Robinson, and ten thousand others
OF us little fellows. then the machine
would be thrown out of gear. and
very likely wrecked DO you get me?
Just in the proportion that we little
chaps fail to sustain the Government
at this period, in just that proportion
will it fall short of the impetus to
win this war. And just as we all
stand united behind the Government
just in that degree will the task II
has in hand be the sooner and the
better done
And remember this: it's the final
mile that counts if you are moving

MINES AND SHELTERS
SOON CAN BE TAKEN
BY GOVERNMENT

Washington, Sept. 2l.-llouse and
senate conierees on the bill for gov
ernment control OF production and
distribution OF certain minerals
needed in connection with the prose
cuton OF the war reached an agree
ment today, accepting virtually in
full, the senate provision under
which the president will be author
lied to requisition and take over un-
developed deposits OF mines, smell
ters or plants.
The senate draft however, was
modified so that the powers TO make
contracts for the production OF min
erals or the operation OF smelters
and plants shall cease with the ter
mination OF the war. The president
is given two years in which TO dis
pose OF plants acquired by the gov
ernment and to wind up their al
fairs.
The bill as agreed upon creates a
revolving fund OF $50,000,0O0 to be
used in carrying out its provisions
and gives the president authority to
create one or more corporations, the
purpose OF which would be to in
crease production and facilitate dis
tribution.

THEY HAD AUTO TROUBLES

Editor Edgar s. Albright. Of Mt.
Vernon, and 4. NJ. Hiatt. cashier of
the Citizens Bank of Brodhead, came
prowling into Stanford about , o.
clock this morning, having had auto
mobile troubles on their way from
Cincinnati, where each of them
biught a Buick touring car. Near
Georgetown the inner workings of
ole of the cars got wrong and from
there to Nicholasvile they had to go
a snail's gait. At that point they
left the car. however, and it was far
into the wee sma' hours when they
stuck Stanford, where they spent
THE night. If the gentlemen had come
to Stanford and bought the cars from
Will Hays they would have avoided
all the useless trouble they expert
enced. They'll do it next time.
