dozen odd years ago "Madama But
..rsvy made its first bid for American
.,r,,ar favor. The appeal was imme-
s,s,e,y answered by the Endorsement Of
uenry W. savages productions in Eng
ush and of the Metropolitan's Italian
rsrfornances, involving the services of
rrmv Destlnn or Geraldine Farrar in

seon NJ to recognize the Farrar

.,.it The vitality of this opinion was
s,,ss,ed by the numerical magnitude or
,.s, r,ght's audience at the Metropolitan.
Ths vast assemblage was prodigal OF
snn,ause, OF which the soprano, now
war was by no means the sole recip-
nr,orp her excellent American asso-
,,otoo was Paul Althouse, whose Lieu
,snont Pinkerton carries rar more con-
,ictlon than that of Riccardo Martin, 80
long associated with this character MT.
AIhouse's lyricism, moreover, Is uhder-
going constant betterment. lils vibrant
naniv tenor rang out with authoritative
mai .'ai rosourcefulness in Puccinis ro-
,nsnt,c music. Thomas Chalmers is by
a. the most realistic Consul Sharpless
yst seen here. His capable voice, though
mi of exceptional power, has welcome
Al. ritv and is artistically handled.
Peaections on Nine. Farrars pen

- renetition, Her characterization Is
conceived on effective dramatic lines
and the opulent modern orchestration or
puccIni blends much more satisfactorily
WITH her voice than the moro trying
measures of Gounod, with which she
sought to cope earlier in the present
season here The recent muddiness Oh
her tones all but vanished in some of
the emotional scenes, which she sang
last night with compelling intensity.
The diva herself has lately admitted
with truth that hers Is not a phenome-
nal voice. She bases her claims to notice
on n blend of lyricism and acting. The
combination seems potently attractive 10
her very numerous admirers.
II was demonstrated more than year
ago, when Roberto Moranzoni was with
tho Boston Opera Company, that the
familiar strains of "Madama butterfly
could be revitalized under his baton.
Further substantiation was at hand at
last nights performance, when Puccinis
Instrumentation trobbed with plangent
loyeliness. The melodic freshness of
'Tosca" and "Boheme' Is unquestion-
ably lacking in this score, but Its or
chestration throughout Is often more
dexterously woven than that Of the two
inspirationally richer predecessors
Most of the minor roles were well
done, although Rita Fornia was once
more an Indifferent Suzuki A decade
ago. when the management was less
afraid of "burying" Louise Homer In
that part, the charming "Flower Song"
was a duet worth while. ii. T. c.

Warns Public of
Glass in Flour
Food Board Asks Housewives
and Bakers to Exercise
Great Care

The Federal Food Board issued a
warning to housewives and bakers yes
terday announcing that jagged bits of
glass had been discovered in flour and
breadstuffs throughout the city, and
urging those handling these materials
to exercise the utmost caution.
"Housewives," the warning says
"should examine bread after it has been
cut and made ready for the table. Where
bread is baked In the home the flour
should be thoroughly siftcd for foreign
substances. Owners Of bakeries and
those handling fours and substitutes
used in baking are asked to have rigid
inspection made before these commodi-
ties leave shipping rooms"
The board then explains that, al
though it dislikcs to alarm the public
complaints have become so frequent
that it is necessary to put people on
their guard at once.

State Department Waits
For Official Confirmation

WASHINGTON, March 31.-What ac-
tion Congress will take following the
announcement that Bulgarian troops
have made their appearance on the
Western battlefront is awaited with
great interest.
At the State Department it was said
tonight that. the question had not yet
been considered because no official con-
firmation had been received. More
than week ago there was report
that Bulgarians were fighting in France,
but it was not verified. and was doubt
less due to the German announcement
that Bulgar troops were held as re-
serve in the West.
1t is believed here that there is little
probability Of definite action by the Adj
minstration unless information is re-
ceived that the Bulgarian and Amcri-
can troops are opposing each other.

NeUs That Troops
Mouc to Battle.
Thrills Capital

WASHINGTON, March 31.-Wash-
ington was thrilled to-day by the news
that American soldiers actually are on
their way to the fighting lines to take
places beside their hard pressed Brit
ish and French allies.
The Americans previously referred
to in the official dispatches as being in
the fighting are believed now to have
been engineers or other auxiliary
troops, which probably were caught at
their work, as they were few months
ago at Cambria.
Major General March. acting Chief
or Staff, said tonight the War Depart
ment had not been advised that PERISH
ing's fighting men were moving to
places in the British French line. But
the news has been expected ever since
the creation Of unified command un-
der the French Chief of Staff. General
Foch. and General Pershing's formal
offer of all the available American re-
sources.
Too much may not be said about the
number and position of the American
troops, because of military reasons. 1t
is no violation of the censorship, how
