The plans for the American Concert
Course announced few weeks ago -
Gretchen Dick are definitely estab-
lished and New York will have its first
series of concerts by artists born in
America and trained wholly or for the
most part in America.
The seat sale which opened two
weeks ago brought such rush of sub
scribers and boxholders that Miss Dick
has decided to establish the course as
a permanent annual series.

For it is the happy fortune OF THE

out Of it's own nature. 1t was born
with a golden spoon in its mouth, the
spoon OF its invincible story-one of
those immortal fairy tales, crammed

fashioned from our hope or, at any
rate, from something deeper and more
enduring than belief. The regenera-
ton of gang Of crooks by an old
"healer"-a miracle worker whom the
city sharpers try 10 turn into their
catspaw for cheating the credulous
sick out OF their money and whose
final miracle is to awaken goodness in
those sharper hearts whose dupe his
simplicity never for an instant has be-
come-incredible that such z story
should have gone so long unrecognized
as the very meat Of motion pictures.
the very gift which all other gifts
would be added unto. Tom Burke,
the strong, bold, bad leader of the
gang; his girl, Rose, the cynical little
cheat who is ready to double cross all
her own comrades except him; the
lame ducks who follow him through
any wickedness, the venerable figure
Of the Patriarch, the crippled child,
the miracle, the religious thrill, the
country freshness, the noble rich
lover who loses 10 the human one, the
contagion of great goodness nesting
easily enough into the weakness Of the
lame ducks, but needing to scar Rose
like fire and TO break Burke's nature

In the crowd streaming out from
"The Miracle Man" voice behind us
said, my golly, but twas time."
Now the speaker. in hailing some
thing due and long due, may have been
referring to a drop in the cost of liv-
ing, or the truth about Russia, or the
return of his laundry, but his remark
expressed so perfectly our own reac-
ton to "The Miracle Man" that we
wondered if he, too, had spent a sum-
mer struggling in the depths of q sea
whose brine was bitter and had just
found himself hauled aboard raft
To our exhausted consciousness our
rescue, with our faith in motion pict-
ures safe in our arms, afforded the
first full breath We had drawn since
last May.
Heavens, but that was a good pict-
ure." With what increasing rarity,
with what decreasing confidence had
we been able to draw that long sigh
of satisfaction. A satisfaction not In
individual performances, not in good
scenes or good bits, but in the whole,
the finished work, the picture. At
"Thc Miracle Man" the whole house
sighed with US; deeply. almost pathe;i-
cally, content at having taken in its
moneys worth through its heart

German Plenipotentiaries
 Now At Versailles
CContinued from Page One)

Italy was not represented al the plenary session yesterday, but des- patches from Rome indicate the probability that her delegates will return to Paris after a brief period. The Italian parliament will meet to- day, and it Is expected that Premier Orlando will at once appear and lay before it the situation which arose a [ Paris when President Wilson made his public statement relative to Plume and the Dalmatian coast.
 Action by the parliament, which will be, in effect, a mandate to the Orlando ministry will be requested, there being an effort to secure an unanimous vote on the resolution de manding that Italy's claims on the eastern coast of the Adriatic be re- cognized. If this is done, it is proba- ble that Premier Orlando and his col leagues will Immediately reappear at Paris.
 Advices from Rome state that the semi official view of the situation there is that Italy has not definitely withdrawn from the Peace Confer ence, but has merely suspended par ticipatiOn. If the vote of the Italian parliament is favorable to the posi- tion taken by Premier Orlando, it is probable that the diplomatic battle will be resumed in Paris.
 There is, apparently, no thought for the present at least, to annex Plume to Italy by parliamentary ac- tion, it being planned to demand &C., l tion on the part of the conference. The national council at Plume, 1 however, has, according to report
 handed over all the powers of the i state and municipality to a repre- l sentative of Italy there.

TELEPHONE STRIKE
 IN ABEYANCE

It was announced, last night, at the meeting of the Telephone Operators Union that the Southern New Eng land Telephone company had agreed to the demand of he operators that there should be but seven hours day by allowing seven hours for the eV- ening or split trick but had refused it with regard to the day trick, where eight hours will still be required
 The company refused to reinstate the discharged operators and this matter together with the proposition of the company to raise the pay of the operators so that the minimum will be SIO and the maximum S19 a week was discussed at the meeting.
 Miss Teresa Sullivan, the Eastern Crganizer of the operators union was present last night and said that the concessions obtained from the com panv were about what was expected, but that the operators still felt that the company has discriminated against union operators and that she believed that the company still cherished the fond hope that it would succeed in smashing the union. but that sooner or later it would realize that the un- on had come to stay.
 Miss Sullivan is today in New Ha- ven where the operators have formed a union and will be back in this city Thursday night, with Miss Julia O'COnnor, national president of the union, to attend the meeting of the local union at which it will be decided whether a strike should be called in view of the concessions obtained from the company.

SENATOR BORAH .BLAMESCONGRESS
Says Burleson Is Only FIX ercising Power Given
 Him.

Washington. April 29-BIame for much of the severe criticism of Post master General BurlesOn was placed upon congress today by Senator Bor- ah of Idaho. Republican. who, in a statement said the Postmaster Gen eraI is only exercising the laws which congress passed comforting drastic and unlimited. powers under the guisa of war powers. The best remedy. the senator said. would be for congress- to repeal these laws.
 Congress has granted MT. Burle- son. Senator Borah said, ''unlimit- ed. undefned. drastic and arbitrary powers: granted them in violation of the most fundamental and cherished principles of free government We granted these powers under the guise of war necessity, but no necessity eN- isted for any such grant of powers. War upon the part of a republic nev- CT necessitates the sacrifice of the fundamental principles upon which the republic is organized.
 He is not exercising any authority not within the provisions of the law which congress passed. If he is eX- ercising 1t arbitrarily how did con gross expect arbitary laws to be ex- ecuted except in an arbitrary way? How did congress expect the laws to be executed except in a despotic way2 They are cruel, arbitrary and at war with every principle of free govern ment and should be repealed.
 For MT. BuTlesOn to be dismissed and to leave these laws upon the statue books would indeed be a tra- vesty. If we do not want arbitrary power exercised in this country, the Law-making body is the body to ap- peal to and not to Eome administra- tive officer"

 "As a matter of fact there were no trenches, practically all of them hav- ing been raked up by the German fire The First Brigade of the First a)ivision was put to work building. This consisted of connecting existing shell holes. and making shallow trenches of them.
 We were finally sent to the front lines. HopeIessly ounumbered, the Germans having added twelve batter ies of artillerey to their normal four to scare us off, we fought under great handicap. There was no com munication between front and rear trenches If a, man was wounded in the early morning he must lay with nothing but first aid until he could be moved to the rear at night We used to pray to be hit near the even ing. if we must be wounded, so that we would not have so long to wait to get to a field hospital.
 "In battle here, the Germans play ed havoc with our troops, and later our commander was forced to utilize cooks, mechanics and kitchen police to help hold the lines. Out of com pany of 24O. all but 8 were casuaJs and no relief in sight, but we pulled out, and at Cantigny, the American First army with the aid of French ] tanks and flame throwers stopped the Hun This was on May 27, 1918. ] Practically two companies of the ! 26th Infantry were wiped out. ! "On June g, the Germans began i what is known as the COmpiegne of l fensive and Company l of the 26th 1 suffered 95 casualties.
 i Tt was here that I was wounded, l but 1 returned as a casual, but was out of luck, for they sent me back i to the hospital just before the battle at Chateau Thterry. After release 1 they put me on clerical work"
