Pre- War Performances Now
Seen in London Theatres
(Associated Press Correspondenoe.)

LONDON, June 24.-Americans
who have not been in London since
since the beginning of hostilities, but
who are now here in large numbers,
are finding many changes in the city
and its institutions. Particularly is
this true of the theatres and music
halls where In other days they en-
joyed the audience as much as they
did the program.
One American went to the Alham-
bra the other night. There he had
often seen the ballet, but there now
he found a new world. There was a
ballet, to be sure, but this time it was
a Russian ballet. But what surprised
him most was hat between each bal
let the excellent orchestra, conducted
by a capable Russian, played classical
music and the audience sat still and
listened to it. Very few people left
their seats, and the girls in the side
rows did not ogle the young men in
the stalls.

Paris, Dec 13.-Great interest has

able speculation has appeared as to
the exact purpose of M. Clemenceau's

authority, however, that the official
point of view of the French premier's
mission differs from that Of the press
in that his purpose is not, as has gen.
orally been represented, to find a sub
stitute for the support for France
which has been expected from the
United States 1t was, this authority
declares, to consult with the British
premier regarding a number of ques-
lions that require more Or less urgent
treatment and which the United
States in the present situation is not
able to take up.
France, according to the same au-
thority, counts as much today as ever
upon the moral aid of America-and
upon her material aid in case of need.
