still an admirable pianist and only

and his fellows who We're then with
him say that he showed a very de.
cided talent In that line.
The interesting feature of this yer.
satility Is that 1t has not resulted in
scattering OF his talent. IL genius

years had taken his place among

Other violtnists there are who may
have a larger tone. Other violinists
there are who may rejoice more in the
technical fireworks OF violin play

combines the classic pose with the
fire of romanticism. Whether Kreis-

CONCRETE SHIP STUCK
Deserted 10 IgnOb!c Fate on Rocky
Coast OF Maine After
Accident.

ROCLAND. Me-, Dec. 1s.--The
concrete steamer Polias appears
likely to remain n monument on the
Maine coast to one of the war inro-
vations in marine architecture. The
freighter Ia securely lodged on Ol1
Cilley ledge, near the southwestern
entrance to Penobscot bay. where
she was stranded In storm last
February, resulting in the loss Of
eleven of her crew.
Repeated efforts TO float the ves-
sci. which cost the government $780,
600 to construct, have finally been
abandoned and wrecking gear has
been removed. The Polias still rests
on an even keel, giving her the ap-
pcarance OF being afloat, but with
every tide she fills with water pour
ing through holes punched In the
hull by the Jagged rocks.
Her position has not changed since
she struck the ledge while bound
from Searsport for Norfolk after
completing the third trip since her
launching. No trace has ever been
found of the bodies OF the eleven
scamen who put off in n boat with
out the masters permission. II is
supposed the boat was smashed
against the side OF the steamer.
Captain Coghland and the other 2S
members Of the crew were rescued
the next day by coast guardsmen.

According to Nanderlip. the Chi

lie dcclaerd that Just before he

from Foreign Minister Tchitchcrin
showing that an official Chinese
delegation had just concluded pre-

government will undertake to return
to China all territories seized under
the old czarist regime and to repay
all indemnities similarly exacted.
Nanderlip bore "A message from

the Russian army and navy will
