NJ HALT AID FUNDS
Delay In Remlttances Blamed on
Teuton Government

New York, Sept. 12.-Delays in the
payment by the American relief ad-
ministration of remittances to persons
in Germany sent from this country is
the fault solely of the German Gov
eminent, according to a cablegram from
London headquarters of the admins
tratiOn, made public here last night.
The German Government" says the
cablegram, first purposely delayed all
payments after July 1, and then re-
fused to pay all remittances to indi-
viduals for $500 and more.
THE reason given in a letter from
the German Government was that such
payments were for speculative pur-
poses. Only when convinced that such
payments were for relief and when
persuaded by us did they start July
10 to pay all remittances to individuals
up to and including $4,000"

Report on Russia

iOntlnued from rage One
President Wilson's original PROPOSE
ton on the league of nations. written
by his own typewriter, was filed with
the committee by Mr.. Bullitt.
The copy was presented to Bullitt
by Colonel Z. VI. House and bore the
inscription by the latter ''in apprecia-
ton Of your help in the hour of need"
In answer to a question of Senator
Knox. Bullitt said that in it's final
form the only proposal by the President
that remained intact was Article y.
Senator Knox wanted to know If
there was not a feeling of dissatisfac-
ton at Paris at the way in which
the American delegations work was
handled.
Little Contact With Wilson
''Thcrc was little contact between
the top of the delegation and the ex-
pcrts." Bullitt replied.
Bullitt said he was sent to Russia
by Secretary Lansing in February to
obtain from the Soviet government II
statement of exact terms on which il
would agree to stop fighting on all
fronts.
Before proceeding Bullitt said he
asked Colonel House a number of qups-
tons bearing on the American position
and House told him. he said, that if
the Bolsheviki were ready to stop fight
ing and declare an armisticc the United
States would approve.
Bullitt was in Russian one week and
on his return to Paris sent a report to
President Wilson.
Talked OF Recalling Troops
There was serious discussion Of con
ditions in Russia and the question of
Withdrawing troops, Bullitt testified
and it was because of this that he was
directed TO proceed to Petrograd.
From Helsiugfors Bullitt sent conf e
dental kilograms to the President. Sec
rotary Lansing and Colonel House, ex-
planning conditions as he found them and
saying Lenine and others associated
with him realized the need Of peace.
They were ready, he said, to pay their
foreign debts. Asked how this infor
nation was received by the American
mission. Bullitt said
Colonel House wrote me a telegram
of congratulation, but because it was
signed House and mission it was not
sent. The colonel gave it to me when
| got back to Paris"
Bullitt said he and Colonel House
were enthusiastically in favor of making
peace on the soviet proposal.

press Bullitt said, (which 7 submitted

dent. who said he did not want it
printed at that time"
Bullitt said the President made an
appointment with him, but Cancelled it.
Later Colonel House explained tc

had a single-track mind and as he
was dealing with Germany he coulc
not bother with Russia"

His Bridal Night

Twin sisters, Tiny and vi, have only
this distinction betweesn them-Tiny
sucks her thumb and vi has mole
on her left ankIe-otherwis they are
an exact replica of each other. vi is
naughty and fiirtatious. Tiny tries to
cure her sisters Eighty attempts to
elope with a desirable young man
whom Tiny prefers for herself, but Vi
can't make here eyes behave even
when marching to the altar to marry.
The result is disastrous, for the man
follows the bride to her room and a
scandal is only averted by the watch
full Tiny, who takes her sisters place
by running off with the groom, who
believes his vi is at his side. When
vi discovers the trick of the jealous
girl she follows the couple to the
honeymoon bungalow at Briarcliff, and
then things begin to happen. Tiny's
choice also shows up as we'll as the
aunt, who finally straightens out the
tangle, and the bride promising to be-
have ever after, is given into the arms
of the groom, while Tiny is chosen by
the man she has selected.

Too Much Suggestive
Nudity in Comedies

The success of the Mack Sennett
comedies has Embossed a lot of cheap
imitators, who lack the comic vision
and the light couch of Sennett, and in
their limitations do nothing but vul-
garize. There is a vast difference be-
tween what we call naughty and
what is just simply vulgar. The oc-
casional flashes of graceful femininity
in summer or bathing garb one sees in
the Mack Sennett variety of fun are
altogether different from the heavy,
vulgar imitation. Fox and Vitagraph
are among the worst imitators. The
other day l saw Vitagraph, called
mates and Models" which is about
the most nauseating affair that has
soiled the screen in long time. 1t
is little more than an illustrated
definition of obscenity and stupidity.
It's the sort of thing that invites and
eventually will bring about legalized
censorship.

A House Without Children

A young woman is seduced and is
about to become a mother, when her
relative, whose husband longs for
children, suggests that the child about
to be born be foisted upon him, saving
the young woman from disgrace. The
fraud is consummated and in due
timed discovered. The husband de
nounces the selfshness and deception
of his wife, who not only refused to
bear him any children, but resorted
to fraud. The wife is repentant and
the husband forgives. The real
mother proclaims the truth when her
infant dies and repudiates the man
who had betrayed her. She accepts
the advances Of an old lover whose
ardor had not been cooled off by her
adventures.

AdeLina Patti Dies in Wales;

London, Sept. 27-By Associated
Press.)-Adelina Patti, the prima don
ma, died this morning at Craig-y-Nos
castle, Penycae, South Wales.
Adelina Patti, who sang to perfec-
ton before she could speak articulate-
ly, was on the operate and concert
stage for more than half century.
No singer, perhaps, ever attained a
higher degree of success than she.
When in her prime she was known the
world over as the divine Patti"
Patti was born of Italian parents at
Madrid on Feb. 10, 1913. Her father,
Salvatore Patti native of Catania,
in Sicily, was of noble extraction, and
musician of considerable eminence;
her mother was the daughter of a
celebrated Roman teacher of singing
Signor Chiesa-and early in life took
a high position on the operate stage
under the professional name of Barili
OF the children of the Patti Barili
marriage, all of whom we're remark

est.
When she was still an infant in arms
her parents migrated from Europe to
America, and it was in New York that
Adelina's musical talent developed it
self precociously. Before completing
her fifth year she revealed a remark
able aptitude for overcoming the tech
nical difficulties with which the pre-
vailing school of forid vocalization
was overladen. IA the age of 1850
she sang for the first time in public.

Ethel Teare; II you keep your nose

An Extra: A picture a day keeps

Mildred Reardon: Men, like mon
keys, are always up to some trick or
other which women have to be continu-
ally guarding against.
Eileen Percy: If woman is at the
mercy of man before marriage, GER
tainly marriage is at the mercy of
both of them afterward.
Madame Traverse: This would be
very harsh world with men only,
and it would be very soft one with
women only.

Fifty Years

had reached their apogee, che was pru-

room, in order to go through a course
of voice training which lasted for
little over eight years. Her first sing
ing master was Ettore Barili, her
mothers half brother, who was sue
ceeded by Maurice Strakosch.
At the age of fifteen and half.
Adelina Patti made her public appear
ance in New York, this time on the
operate stage, in the role of Lucia
Nov. Id, 1850, and achieved ire
mendous success. During the ensuing
eighteen months she sang the heroines
of the more popular operas of Bellini
and Donizetti, and carried all before
her in the American metropolis. 1t
was not until the spring of 1861 that
a fairly remunerative engagement, of
fered to her by Frederick eye, then
lessee Of the Royal Italian Opera in
London, tempted her to cross the At
lantic, and to bid for the favor of a
public at that time VIGOROUSLY the
most difficult to please in Europe.
When, on May Ia, 1861, she made
her first appearance, as Amina, in
"Somnambula," on the huge Covent
Garden stage-a slender, sallow, dark
eyed girl, displaying slight childish
stiffness of gait and formality of man
ner-only a favored few personal
friends of eye, to whom he had con-
fded his own impressions of "the lit
tie American girls" vocal capacities,
had the faintest idea of the revelation

that awaited them. The mellow, vel
vety tones of Animals opening recita-
tive thrilled the house with pleasur-
able sensation, and few minutes later
Adelina's inimitable delivery "Come
per me sereno," elected a prolonged
outburst of applause that was strange
ly out of keeping with the traditional
reserve of a fashionable audience in
London. From that moment Adelina
PATHS reputation was firmly estab-
lished in England.
For over twenty years Nine. Patti
sang at Covent Garden, and filled it to
overlooking whenever she appeared.
Her annual earnings between 1861 and
1881 averaged $150,000 to $175 900,
and rose still higher during each of
the years in which she made profess
sional tours in North and South Amer
lea. Her share of the profits result
ing from her visit to Argentina in 1888
for instance, amounted to $250,000.

Nine. Patti made her home at Craig
y-Nos in Wales. The famous singer
was three times married. Her first
husband was the Marquis de CauX and
her second Signor Nicolin. In 1899
she married Baron Cederstrom, a
Swede OF high family, with whom she
lived happy married life in striking
contrast to her two first matrimonial
alliances.
In 1895 Nine. Patti returned to the
stage of Covent Garden, as a special
favor to her old friend, Sir Augustus
Harris. She sang with much success
on six occasions, as Violetta and Ro-
sina.
