Harry Box, English Tenor

It Is said that Harry Box, lyric
tenor and bird whistler. is soon to
delight an audience at the Methodist
church in this city in the near future.
Mr.. Box has a most delightful ten
or voice of wide range and rare
tone quality. and his pleasing per-
sonality gives emphasis to the charm
Of his voice.
Mr.. Box is also a most talented pi-
anist and to miss this recital means
the loss Of a great treat as Mr.. Box
has been heralded and has proven, in
many states, to be an artist Of mark
ed ability, thus an evening Of unal-

To be the good little American that
she plans to be in every respect, Mrs.
Kagan said she decided. before she
came to America that she would let
her wardrobe get down low and buy
new clothes in America.
Just now she is very busy getting
use to the new place. She says that
she loves Augusta, she loves the old
houses and the wide lawns. In Eng
land she says that there are blocks
and blocks of houses with no green
spaces between. She likes the snow,
and very much snow. which will come
later. will be a novelty to her. be-
cause in mcrrie England there is very
little snow. little comes on one day
and the next day may be all gone.
And she calls the staid old New
Englanders cordial. She delights in
the welcome which is being given
her. Il shall! never be homesick and
never want to go back to England"
and she looked out of doors at the
snow laden trees with the light OF
hope in her eyes.

kagan was taken one time when she

about that.

West. Her duties were largely Of an
administrative character and occu-
pied a period Of three years. She had
is assistants in her department and
the hospital accommodated 1400 pa
tients.
This hospital was an occasional
target for German bombs and it was
advantageously located for a tar
get, as there was an airdrome on one
side and an ammunition plant on the
other. Fortunately, the Teuton mis-
sles did not land squarely on the hos
pital but once, when a shell, which
did not explode, fell right into the
building.
Mrs. Kagan was formerly Miss
Dorothy NJ. Morley and was born in
Warwickshire. Eng. Mrs. kagan
was educated in one Of the we'll
known private schools in that Sec
ton.
The hospital at Shepherds Bush
was the parent reconstruction hospi-
tai Of the British Empire, and while
in service there she came in contact
with many noted surgeons and mill
tary authorities.

FIST FIGHT STARTED
BIG RIOT IN WALES
Soldiers Disconnected BY

LONDON. March s.--An inquest was
begun to-day over the bodies OF the vic
tins of the rioting in the Canadian mill

FRANCES DEAD IN
WAR TOTAL 1000, 900
Nobility, College and Profess
sional Men Suffer Most.
Special Cabie Despatch 10 TEE srN
Copyright. 1919; all ri9Ats reserred.

PARIS, March 9.-New figures on
French war losses have been supplied to
THE SUN correspondent by the French
Foreign Office. These bring the number
OF French dead to more than / 500, 900.
The new compilation shows for the
first time that more than 100000 French
colonials died in the fighting, the greater
part OF their losses having been borne
by the Algerians.
An Interesting feature OF this report
shows the contribution TO casualties ac-
cording to classes and reveals, for one
thing, that the French nobility suffered
greater losses than any other class. The
figures show the losses OF graduates and
students of the higher institutions of
learning. notably the Polytechn!que, the
great military school at Fontaiableau
and the famous Jesuit colleges estab-
lished by the nobility. and reveal that
these losses we're far greater than those
suffered by the laboring classes, which
were comparatively light except in the
first battle of the Marine.
Next to the nobility the professional
classes were the greatest sufferers, the
percentage of artists, physicians. dem
lists, architects. writer's, sculptors, mu-
sicans, poets and actors being a little
over per cent.
The representatives OF financial and
industrial circles appear to have con-
tributed least 70 the nations casualties.
although a large percentage OF these
classes were to be found either in the
fighting ranks or in the great industrial
army behind the lines.

rank OF patrolman, which pays $3.50.
He was sent to the Rapelye street sta

NOTED TO be a first grade detective by

into disfavor with the higher powers.
They we're reduced and sent to Brook

No official explanation of these shake
ups was made at headquarters. Numer-
Gus loft robberies have occurred lately,

ARcHASeEL, March (delayed) The
Bolsheviki took advantage yesterday Of
the fret clear day with the thermometer

to bomb the American positions on the

was the first one observed to bear the
new Red Army Identification mark, a
six pointed red star. The bombs fell
without creating any damage.
Since the beginning OF the campaign
last summer there has been much con-
fusion OH both sides OF the line because
the Bolshevik airplanes bore the old
Russian marking. a red, white and blue
circle. This was so sImila. to the mark

EDICT TO GERMANS
Pichon Says Also Entente
Must Get Ships Promised.

PARIS. March e.--Stephen Pichon.
French Foreign Minister. in his talk
with the correspondents to-day discussed
the bearing OF the food situation in Ger
many on the speedy conclusion Of peace.
He said that the urgent need of supply
ing Germany was recognized by all the
Governments represented in Paris.
The hunger with which Germany was
confronted, he added, was a bad coun-
sellor. No one could be dead 10 the in
humanity OF continuing present condi-
lions there. and the Supreme Council
had resolved Co send to Germany all the
food that country required
On the other hand. however. this could
not be done II the Germans ceased work.
Ing and did nothing TO make certain that
the expense caused TO the Entente coun-
tries by the destruction and damage Of
the war should be met.
In signing the armistice las, T-."ary
Germany agreed TO hand over her com
mercial fleet. to be used in revictualling
Europe generally and Germany particu-
larry. Yet. continued the Minister. Mt a
recent meeting at Spa the German dele
gates declared that the arrangement was
unsatisfactory and that they would 'iab-
solutely refuse to part with their ships
The Allies we're willing. NJ. Piohon
went on, not only TO supply food but to
accord credit TO Germany, but Germany
must first declare her willingness to live
up TO the conditions OF the January
arnistice.
The Foreign Minister defended the
Peace Conference against the charges
that its work had been slow. saying:
1T may have seemed slow at first,
but there has been much progress
during the last few days 1t should
be borne in mind that the instructions
TO the commissions TO report on March
did not apply TO important commits
missions which have been accredited
since February Is and TO which have
been granted another weeks time"
AS soon as the terms OF the German
peace have been concluded, NJ Pichon
said, the council would take up the Aus
TRAN peace. which would involve the
future boundaries between Italy and for
mer ro-Hungarian territory The
subject had been discussed recently, but
had not yet come before the council.
The council has adopted Premier
Lloyd Georges plan for regulating the
future military strength of Germany, &C.

afternoon. That question is priority

ment paid by Germany. II this cannot
be guaranteed. then an interallied loan
must be made TO Belgium Immediately.
Otherwise the present stagnation will
continue, and Belgiums economic situa-
ton will be crippled and helpless for long

This delegate placed the figure OF Bel
GUMS immediate need at a credit OF
10000, 100000 francs $4,000, 900, 000).
He pointed to the clause In the allied
Powers guarantees 10 Belgium" entered
into at Hayre March IA. 1916, which
reads:

ers declare that when the time comes

Unidentified for the damages she has

This paragraph, the Belgian delega

meaning that the Allied Powers woult
come TO the financial rescue of Belgium
with loan or by Offering her credits.

Critical Position of Poles

ton Of the Poles on the Lemberg front.
He insisted that 1t was necessary for

The fall OF Lemberg. the Polish Pre-
mier declared. would produce the most
painful impression among the Poles and

pressed in dispatches to the official
Polish bureau his complete. confidence
that the patriotism and spirit OF the
Polish people will enable him 10 estab-
lish stable Government. A statement
issued by the bureau to-day said the
Premier, however, viewed the military
situation with anxiety and had declared
that outside aid and the employment OF
the Polish army now in France were
necessary to protect 'the fronts where
war is being made on the Poles
German and Austrian officers are in
command on all these fronts. the Pre-
mier said, and every German manou-
vre while disguised as friendly. is a part
of the German campaign to cause con-
fusion in Poland and weaken the Polish
spirit"
Premier Paderewski has appealed for
raw materials and industrial equipment
in order that the people of Poland may
aid themselves and thus reduce the
burden on America
