ure OF the life of the negro slave,
life somewhat expurgated of its
coarseness. but yet vibrant and rich
with color.
The score is admirably constructed,
the themes being introduced and devel-
oped with skill and mpsicianship. Dom
mating the ballet is the "Bamboula,"
vulgar yet altogether alluring. That
it would be impossible to dance it as
the negroes OF New Orleans or the
West Indies dance it is due to eau
casian ideas OF propriety, but Miss
Cali and her associates gave it vigor-
ously enough to allow the imagination
to do the rest Mr.. Gilbert never al
lows the audiences interest to flag
and even in those portions of the bal
let where he is not employing the
Creole themes he has produced music
we'll worthy to exist by itself and in
harmony with the general spirit of the
work.
Mr.. Gilbert has produced work
which possesses real character and
flavor. In it we revive most power
fully the atmosphere of negro bar
barism softcned By Latin blood and
tradition. 1t is a work finely sincere,
redolent of the soil, instinct with rude
melody and rhythm. And Mr.. Bartik

dancers. Miss Rosina CALI gave re-
markable exh ibition of her virtuosity
by turning from the classic ballet into
as vicious and as graceful saffron
plantation belle as ever danced the
"Bamboula.' Mr.. Bartik himself and
Mr. Bontiglio were both admirable, as
was the unnamed Uncle Tom, who
nearly convulsed the house by his
rheumatic convolutions. Mr.. Monteux
conducted with a splendid rhythmic
sense. Mr.. Platt's scenery, as that OF
Mr. Gcddes in the Cadnan opera, pos
sessed atmosphere.
The afternoon closed with perform
ance of "L'Oracolo" in which Antonio
Scott returned to us in excellent voice.
His Interpretation was as sinister as
ever. The others in the cast were Miss
Easton, Mr. Althouse, Mr.. Didur and
Mr. Rossi. Mr.. Moranzoni conducted.
"The Dance in Place Congo" is a
worthy contribution to American music,
even if it has its limitations as bal
let pure and simple, and "Shancwis" is
very pleasant entertainment which
shows that Mr.. Cadman is on the right
operate road. Both works possess the
virtues of simplicity and sincerity.
They have come without blare of trum-
pets, and the cordial greetings which
each received, the composers being
called repeatedly before the curtain,
prove that they are welcome.

knights of Columbus committee on
war activities, in charge of the field
work Tor the American forces on land
and sea. Nearly one hundred buildings

the country at camps and thirty are
acting as Knights of Columbus secre-

when the Knights of Columbus
were called upon by the War Depart
ment last June to assume responsible
lty on behalf of the Catholics of
America for the spiritual and temporal
good of the boys with the colors it was
a herculean task. There was no money
and no organization. Experience was
lacking, excepting that gained in the
erection of fifteen huts along the Mex
lean border, maintained by the funds
of the order.
Levied ON Members
Cone step was the levy of an as
sessment upon the membership of the
order whereby 100000 was Melted to
the fund and an appeal to Catholics
and the public to swell the resources
TO S1,000,O00. Offices We're opened in
Washington and arrangements made
with the government contractors to
erect three buildings in each canton
ment and one in each National Guard
camp. Grand Knights of local coun-
ellis were called upon to supervise the
construction work, and an appeal was
made for secretaries. In the begin
ming it was announced that at all times
the disposition of the funds, all ex-
penscs and receipts, was kept in an
open book, accessible at all times to
public inspection, and that the service
in the work would be by volunteers
wherever practicable. All funds arc
sent to the supreme secretary, w. j.
Mckinley, at New Haven, and all bills
audited there, disbursements being
made on warrants issued to Supreme
Treasurer D. J. Callahan, of Washing
ton. In order that there might be no
possible misunderstanding of the pur-
pose of the camp buildings the sign

their doors.

planned to the Newburghers that cloth

The rest was the old story of "ground

certain rise in two days to SIS a share
The wells were gushing at the rate of
1000 barrels a day, and the demand
was so great from Uncle Sam and the
Allies that in years time the profits
couldn't help being S5000,000. The
Newburgh clothicrs each bought S1O,-
600 worth of stock. When they woke
up they wrote to Canada, only to find
that there was not only no such COM

even an oil we'll. When they threatened
to file criminal complaint, the brok-

checks for the remaining $4,000 on
