CHANCE FOR RED CROSS IN THE
SOUTH.

The American Red Cross society,
which did such splendid work in the
World war, now has a domestic prob
lem on hand as the result of the tor
nado in three southern states; and it
is probable that the various relief
agencies Of that great organization will
BE- diverted toward caring for the
wounded and the needy in Mississippi,
Alabama and Tennessee. Such work
was formerly considered the province
OF the Red Cross society, until the
wars ravages began to be felt. Some
Of the American dollars subscribed for
the relief work of the Red Cross will
come in very handy now as applied to
the relief Of suffering Americans. Sure
~ the sympathy of the American peo-
pie goes out to the stricken people of
those southern states and financial sup
port will be forthcoming if there are
not funds available in the treasury of
the Red Cross. IL j. our impression
that a considerable balance remained in
the treasury following up the end of
most Of the war work in Europe and
Asia, so that there should be funds
Immediately available to apply in these
southern states.

Mystery Man Given Six
Months and Deportation
Intermediary Between British
and Russian Revolutionists Is
Sentenced i'm London

LONDON, Nov. 2.-Six months at
hard labor and deportation thereafter
was the sentence imposed in Bow
Stree Police Court to-day upon Erki
Weltheiu, the mystery man, who was ar
raigncd in this court week ago,
charged by the government with act
ing as an intermediary between men,
bers of revolutionary circles in Great
Britain and Russian revolutionists
Neither The name nor the nationality of
the prisoner was made known at the
time Of his arraignment.
1t was upon Weltheiu, the govern
ment's attorney announced, that let
ter from Sylvia Pankhurst to Nikolai
Lenine, Premier of Soviet Russia, had
been found, III which Miss Pankhurst
was alleged to have written:
THE situation is most acute; not
ready for revolution yet"
Miss Pankhurst has since been sem
fenced to six months imprisonment on
charges of having published seditious
literature designed to affect the navy,
in the newspaper The Workers. Dread
nought, one of the articles in which
was entitled "Discontent on TIM Lowe r
Deck"
When the mystery man was first ar
raigned he declined to answer ques-
tions and was remandcd for a week.

Naive Carmen
Suggests gge Village
Maid Turned Vamp
With Aid of Talented Press
Agent N. Y. Opera Asso-
citation Promises Other
Operas Gust as Cood'

Bizet's "Carmen" was given last
night by the New York Opera Associa-
tion at the Lexington Theater. Ac-
cording to facts set forth in the pro-
gram, this was the first in series Of
performances intended to supply opera
at popular prices, in response to q
great demand existing everywhere,
and in New York City in particular"
through the same medium the new
organization announced as one Of its
chlef aims the giving of performances
Just as good as those of the larger
ana subventioned organizations, minus
the hlgh-priced stars, with artists lust
as good If not as celebrated as the
well known stars, and an unrivaled
orchestra" Another aim is to give
talented American singers the oppor-
tunlty to make q debut in their own
country under the highest artistic aus
plces and achieve that fame to which
their genius entities them"
HAD the oratory Of the press agent
not scared to such extravagant heights
a less exactlng view of the qualifica-
,lons OF the new company might have
oeen inspired, but such statements
challenge comparison.
Last nights performance was medi-
Halle Stiles, the two American debu-
tantes of the occasion, who appeared,
respectively, as Carmen and Micaela,
showed few, if any, signs of genius, nor
dld their unripe efforts in any way de-
serve to be ranked with performances
by experienced singers. Both young
women have good voices and a certain
degree of talent; both are immature.
In makeup Miss Bonheur failed to sug-
gest the Gypsy. What she did suggest
was village maiden turned vamp,
fundamentally naive in spite of desper-
ate attempts at devltry.
Auguste Perisse, French tenor,
gave fair performance as Don Jose
and sang in his own tongue with agree
able purity in enuncation. Miss Bon
heur sang in Italian, as did Italo Picchi,
the Zuniga of the occasion. Miss Stiles
sang in French. Perhaps the most
satisfactory feature of the perform
ance was the work of the orche stra.
which was directed by Fulgenzo Guer-
rieri
