Opera
Mascagni's, ''Lodoletta" Again
Heard at Metropolitan,
Carried by Caruso :

Mascagni's "Lodoletta." which was
one of Signer Gatti- Casazza's novelties
last season, was sung for the second
time this year last night at the Metro
olitan. This opera possesses one
charming children's chorus, the rest
IS more or less melodious meandering
through many styles and composers
with the real Pietro Mascagni nowhere
in evidence. In "Cavalleria Rusticana''
Mascagni struck one clear, original
note; he has never repeated it. Origi-
nally hot blooded child of nature
crude and spontaneous, he has sophisti-
Gated himself until he has lost all char
acter. "Lodoletta" is only another in
long list of disappointments.
Enrico Caruso carries the opera on
the shoulders Of his popularity, and
Miss Florence Easton and Thomas
Chalmers are worthy coadjutors. What
can be done for the opera these artists
and Conductor Moranzoni have done:
but, do what they can, its spirit re
mains saturated with poppies and
mandragora. Perhaps another season
and its score will gather dust on those
shelves of Librarian Mapleson. heavy
already with the futile hopes of n
score of composers to whom Signor
Gatti-Casazza once offered the chance
of eternal life. There will be little
grief. G v

Pay of Teachers i'm
SO Schools Is Held
Up by Controversy
Board Officials Blame Esti-
mate Body; Disposition
of State Fund Source of
Trouble; Pay on Monday

Teachers in more than fifty New
York public schools must wait until
Monday for their December salaries.
amounting to nearly S500,000, because
of controversy between the Board of
Education on one side and the City
Controller and the Board of Estimate
and Apportionment on the other. The
remaining teachers received their De-
cember salaries promptly.
Not only have some of the teachers
had to wait for their money, but those
fortunate enough to possess savings
accounts will lose the interest from
January l, allowed by the state bank
ing laws on deposits made before Jan
uary IL.
Officials of the Board of Education
assert that the inconvenience to the
teachers is due to delay of the Board
Of Estimate. On January 9 William l..
Ettinger, superintendent of Schools,
addressed communications to the City
Controller and the Board Of Estimate
calling their attention to the situation
and asking that immediate steps be
taken to pay the remaining teachers.
The Board of Estimate yesterday ap-
proved the appropriation of 100000
for that purpose. When notified Of
this action David L. Kemlo, chief
auditor, gave assurance that the teach
ers would receive their checks by Mon
day.
The controversy between the two city
departments arose over the disposition
Of approximately S2,500,000 Of state
funds. Board Of Education officials de-
clare that this state money should have
been credited to the school fund and
that the board compiled its 1918 esti
mate and budget with the belief that
this sum was at its disposal. This
state fund.- however, was credited to
the fund for the reduction of taxation.
Consequently there was a deficit in the
school fund. which the December pay
roll was forced to bear. The final adj
justment Of the disposition of this
state fund now is before the courts for
settlement.
About s2,ooO,0o0 Of the $4,000 900
December school payroll was distfib-
uted promptly by the city paymaster's
office, but when. the amount to the
credit of the school fund had been ex-
pended the teachers not already paid
were forced to wait.
Officials of the Board of Education
said yesterday that there had been no
delay in the preparation of the Decem-
ber payroll which was submitted
promptly, but that, although the fact
that there would be deficit was
known in advance, no preparation was
made by the Board Of Estimate to meet
this deficit until yesterday.

Red Cross Has
100000 Sweaters,
100000 Socks
Plenty of Knitted Goods ON
Hand to Supply Soldiers
and Sailors for Long
Time, Says Statement

Rumors that the recent ."stack
needles" order issued to knitters by
the national headquarters of the
American Red Cross meant that the
organization proposed to abandon its
policy of supplying sweaters, helmets,
socks and other knitted garments to
soldiers and sailors were denied yes
ierday at the headquarters of the
Atlantic division of the Red Cross, in
IA East Twenty-third Street
The denial took the form of an Off
cial statement which explained that
the order which brought to a sudden
close the activities of thousands of
American women who have been knit
ting for boys in the service was sent
out because supply of knitted goods
sufficient TO meet any ordinary de-
mands among soldiers and sailors is
now stored IN Red Cross warehouses.
The Red Cross, it was explained, is
still supplying garments to men IN the
service and will continue to do so.
Agents are meeting all incoming trans
ports and seeing that the needs of
Homecoming troop are supplied. Field
representatives. are doing the same in
camps LnTOuEHOut tue COQHtiy
1.-The stop knitting order was issued"
the statement explains, because in the
Red Cross warehouses in the division
at the present time there are more
than half million sweaters and more
than million pairs of socks. Until
a large part of these supplies have
been used it would be wasteful to con-
tinue to have women knit such gar
mcnts."
Men in the service who need knitted
garments are urged by the Red Cross
to ask their commanding officers to
issue requisitions. Such acquisitions
will be filled without delay.
Red Cross officials also authorized
the announcement that the organiza-
ton would fill all calls for knitted
goods made on various leagues and
organizations which have been engaged
in producing such articles.
"Red Cross chapters throughout the
country" reads the statement, "are
now working at top speed to supply
garments of various kinds needed by
the civilian refugees in the allied
countries.
"Women who have been plying knit
ting needles are asked to devote their
time to refugee garments exclusively
and an appeal has gone out for addi-
tional volunteers to help in this work.
Virtually all chapters and workrooms
report they are in need of workers"
Last October, the Red Cross an
nounced, 109,303 sweaters, 709,409 pair
Of socks and 426,745 miscellaneous
articles were given to soldiers and

Arthur Shattuck, who is well and

gave recital yesterday afternoon at

Mr.. Shattuck is an excellent musi-

and power are unusual.

Back Amendment

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1o.-The follow
ne letter, written on January 8 by
Colonel Roosevelt to Senator Moses, of
New Hampshire, has been made public
by the National American Suffrage
Association:
"My Dear Senator Moses: You know
how fond ] am of Cabot Lodge and l
think he has done wonderful work dur
ing the past three months in interna-
;ional matters. But it is misfortune
from the standpoint of the war and
from the standpoint of party expedi-
ency that he and Senator Wadsworth,
of New York, and some of your New
England Senator'S should have been so
very bitter about woman suffrage.
II earnestly hope you can see your
way clear to support the national
amendment 1t is coming anyhow, and
it ought to come. When states like
New York and Illinois adopt it, it can't
be called wildcat experiment. l very
earnestly hope you can see your way
clear to support the amendment"
