No one will for a moment doubt
that the fame and fortune of Alma
Gluck are not still growing, nor
that her marvellous art is not
mounting higher with the years
Miss Gluck is probably The young
est soprano to achieve the inter
national position she now holds.
and it would be strange indeed II
her popularity had yet even ap-
preached the immense proportions
that it surely will reach. In eacn
of the 80 concerts she gave last
season, the charming artist was
greeted by capacity audiences thai
in most instances oyerflOwed upon
the stage. and now with the an
nouncement that Miss GICck is to
sing here Tuesday, Feb. 25, there
is every reason to expect
crowded house that will tax every
available seat in the Augustana
gymnasium. One of Miss Gluck's
concerts last season was given in
the Hippodrome in New York,
which seats over 5000. and even
on that occasion extra chairs had
to be put on the stage. Orchestra
hall in Chicago was sold out twice
last winter when GIuck appeared
and at both of her Boston recitals
she drew crowds that completely
filled Symphony hall ard caused
additional chairs to be placed on
the platform. So it Will be strange
If there is vacant seat Oh Feb. -.

A. E. F. Officers Were
Penalized by Baker

Washington, Dec. 80. - Army off,
GERS who served with the A. e. F.
in France feel that the course pur-
sued by Secretary of War Baker and
General Peyton c. March, chief of
staff of the army, in dealing with
demotions has penalized overseas
service at the expense of service at
home and has had not only that eff
feet, but will result in placing off,
GERS who served overseas behind Of
f1cers who served at home with the
same rank in chances of promotion.
Such has been the record thus far
in handling the problem that many
are asking whether Secretary Baker
and General March, after trying sew
eral methods and doing former A. E.
+. officers the maximum of harm,
have not now thrown up their hands
and put the whole question up to
Congress. There have been repeat
ed changes in policy. but their upshot
has been that the case of many A.
e. f. officers was SO serious that
General Pershing has had to take up
the cudgel for them.
