Caby Deslys Is
Dead in Paris
French Actress and Dn,,c-
er Recently Underwent
Several Operate ions

PARIS. Feb. 11.-Gaby Deslys, the
French actress and dancer, died to-day
She had recently undergone several op-
erations for an infection of the throat
Early in December she was considered
to be in grave condition and her
relatives were summoned from Amer
ica.
One of the first introductions OF
Gaby Deslys to the newspaper reading
public in America was about nine years
ago, when she was spoken of in Paris
correspondence as "the young actress
whose name has been coupled fire.
quently with that of Manuel, the dc.
posed boy King of Portugal"
There was uncertainty about the orr
gin of Gaby Deslys. Some said that
she was born in Marseilles in 1883 and
That Gabrielle des Lys was her real
name. Others said that she was a
Pole, from Galicia. Soon after the
fall of Manuel Gaby Deslys came to
this country.
The American debut of Gaby Deslys
was made at the Winter Garden on Sep
tember 27, 1911. in "Les Debuts de
Chichine," and the general verdict upon
the dancer was that whatever might
be thought Of his ethics Manuel was 8
young man of admirable taste
In the fall of 1912 Gaby Deslys came
back to New York to make a tour of
this country under the management OF
the Shuberts in "Vera Violetta." She
also appeared that season in "The
Whirl of Society,"" "The Honeymoon
Express" and other pieces. In 1918
she came to this country again.
The next fall she appeared in New
York in "Stop! Look! Listen!" and
then began to take an interest in the
movies. For several years thereafter
she remained in Europe, dancing with
Harry Pilcer, and in October, 1919
came back here, announcing her inten-
tion of devoting herself entirely to mo.
tion pictures.
On the same steamer came the young
Duke de Crussol, whom she frankly
credited with desire to marry her
She remained here only fortnight
during which she was busy with thu
motion picture business.

Baron de Rothschild Dies
Noted Benefactor of Jews Passes
Away in Paris at "a

A report of the death Of Baron Ed
mond de Rothschild, in Paris, at the
age of seventy-four, was received yes
terday by the Zionist Organization of
America.
The late baron was one of the
earliest advocates of Jewish Pales-
tine and his activities in helping Jews
from Russia and Rumania to establish
agricultural colonies antedated the
founding Of the present Zionist move
ment. His most successful achieve
ment in Palestine was the founding of
the colonies Petach Tikwah and Rishon
lie Zion, which are the centers of the
grape e-growing industry of the country.
Baron Rothschild lent his assistance
to other groups of refugees to such an
extent that he became known through
out the Jewish world as "the benefac-
tor of the Jews" The great agricul-
tural school of Palestine, "Mikvah
Israel" is an enduring monument to his
philanthropy.

Biggest Dirigible
Planned by Macy

FROM Tho Tribune's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Feb. ll.--An ap-
preparation of $2,5o0,O0o to enable
the Navy Department to construct
the largest dirigible in the world was
urged before the House Naval Af-
1a1rs Committee to-day by Captain
Thomas T. Craven, director of Naval
Aviation.
"The dirigible we have in contem-
plation," said Captain Craven, "would
be fifty feet longer and cost $500 900
more than the one now being built
IN England for the navy 1t will be
modelled along the lines of that one.
which we hope to see completed dur
ing the summer.
The new and larger dirigible will
be built in this country if Congress
gives us the appropriation, probably
after the other one arrives here. It's
construction would take at least
twelve months. 1t would cost prob
ably 100000 year for mainte-
nance"
Captain Craven said the now craft
would carry a greater armament
than any now planned by any other
nation, and would use helium gas,
the non-inflammablc gas discovered
during the war. About 100000 feet
of gas, he said, would be required to
initiate the ship.
