GIRL BRAVES PERIL
AT RUSSIAN FRONT
Y. w. c. A. Worker Tells How
She Brought Comforts to
Yankee Troops.

The smiling. uniformed girl who sat
in the reception room Of the Y. W. c. A.
on Fifty-second street yesterday after
noon looked az though the widest
thing she could have seen during the last
few years was a the dansant. Yet the
story this girl told was one Of bitter
struggle in the icebound regions OF north
Russia, where allied troops are holding
the Archangel front. She was Miss
Elizabeth Boies OF Cincinnati, Ohio. who
volunteered in the spring Of 1917 to
undertake the work Of getting some com
forts into the snow covered lands OF
Russia where American boys are night
ing.
With her went Marcia Durham OF this
city. Clara Taylor Of Taylorvilie. Ind. 3:
Elizabeth Dickerman of Seattle, Wash ;
Helen Ogden OF East Orange, N. ]. :
Mrs. Bryant Riale OF Sherman, N. Y. ;
Miss Mary Gosling OF New York and
Mrs. Forster Of Chicago.
When Miss Boies left ArchanEei in
August she had to travel on rumboats.
icebreakers and trans across frozen
marshes She finally reached England.
ana there recruited six more American
girls to go back to Russia. They are
Elizabeth Curtiss Of Binghamton. N. Y. ;
Marion Clark, New York city: Mrs Ruth
Heineman Of California, Dorothy Lack,
New York; LILLIAN Hall. Rochester, and
DR.. Estella Warner of Portland, Ore.
She said:
The boys in north Russia ara com

ionshlp They 1--we in boxcars like
animals, and squads 60 down 20 ths
railroad front and the river front for
guard duty. So we established a
little boxcar canteen down at this
railroad front. which Is about $50
miles from the camp. and Marcia
Durham was the FIRST girl to attempt
living down there. She had to sleep
on a bench In the end OF the boxcar.
and so we relayed going down there
for three weeks at a time. The cold
is intense and the loneliness Is awful.
In the summer II Ii ono great marsh
and m the winter q huge frozen plain.
THE boys have good health II II a
healthier country than England. and
they have plenty Of food. Naturally
the boys want to get home that's tho
main thing. The warfare Ia some
thing like that OF South Africa. The
Russians show a distinct friendlnees
to the Americans. and the work We
are doing seems worth WHILE but no
stable government will be eStabl shed
IN that land for a long. long while
1t is a great problem. and to my mind
the only things that will help are
friendship, food and clothing
The girls who accompanied her from
America are still on the Archansel

THIBAUT AND BAUER
PLAY IN CONCERT
Programme Is Confined to
Works Of Beethoven-Audi-
ence Is Delighted.

jacques Thlbaud, violinist. and Harold
Bauer, pianist. gave a concert of music
for their two Instruments at Aeolian
Hall last evening. The programme was
confined to works OF Beethoven, namely,
four sonatas, A major. opus 30; Il hat.
opus IL A minor. opus %. and @ major.
opus 80. The arrangement. 1t will be
seen. did not attempt a chronological or
der nor did It go as far as tho last works
OF the type written by Beethoven.
But II was none the less representa-
tive programme. One sonata from the
group OF three composing the drst opus
(No. ~, written for piano and violin.
the opus %, which stands by itself in
the middle Of the list and one from the
second group Of three constituting opus
80. made an excellent scheme.
Both players are masters OF chamber
music performance. Both played last
evening with sympathy and understand
Ing. They have performed together 30
often that their ensemble Is of n high
order. There is left the always unset
tied question whether II Is satisfying TO
the general hearer to listen to q series OF
works by one composer. There are still
many who desire q greater variety of
style.
Possibly Beethoven endures solitary
exposition better than almost any other
master because of the breadth OF his
artistic vision and the inexhaustible
fecundity of his invention. which, despite
It's wealth. does not depart from cap
tivating simplicity Of idea till the period
Of tho last compositions Is reached.
Messrs. Bauer and Thibaud had large
audience. and the demonstrations OF
pleasure were Of the kind that have real
meaning
