Sad Thought for NewYear's Eve.

Owners OF motor cars have some.
thing new to remember. The State
Tax Commission, which has taken
over from the office of the Secretary
of State the job of licensing automo-
biles, announces that the old custom
of honoring plates until February
has passed away.
The new automobile license plates
must be on the car January mot
later, not before. The rule seems
painful, but there it is. When you
start for your New Years eve party
on December 81 you must have the
1921 license plates on your car; when
you return in the small hours of
January l your car should he wear
ing the 1922 plates. Is the owner
to slip away from the dancing at
midnight, borrow a pair of pliers
from his host and change plates? II
he doesn't, IL he starts home with
the old plates on, he breaks the law.
II he does as the law directs he is
certain to get grease spots on his
dress shirt.
Besides this, the automobilist has
to remember that this year applica-
tions must be filed with the clerk Of
the county in which he lives unless
he is resident of New ork, Albany
or Erie county, where there will be
automobile bureaus.

In Memory of Caruso.
Verdi Home for Musicians to Benefit
by SUNDAYS Concert.

To The New YORK HERALD: Friends
and admirers of Enrico Caruso certainly
could find no more appropriate manner
of paying fitting tribute to this great
and lamented artist than by attending
the memorial concert to be given next
Sunday afternoon. November 81. Apart
from the brilliant array of artists who
will take part in the programme-all his
devoted friends--the cause to which the
proceeds will be donated should add in
terest to the occasion.
The Verdi Home for Aged Musicians
in Milan. to which all the rec,ipts for
the concert will be devoted. was founded
by the maestro, who himself laid the
cornerstone and saw the edifice on it's
way to completion before he died. AT
present it gives shelter to about eighty
ex-artists Of both sexes, all Of whom
were distinguished. Were it not for the
shelter afforded by the Verdi institution
they would be homeless and helpless.
The depreciation in values in Italy
has proved a severe blow to the home.
as the returns from the endowment have
been reduced to quarter of their origi-
nal purchasing power.
Surely Caruso. who passed away at
the zenith Of his fame and the .fulness
of his artistic powers, could not wish
for more desirable disposition Of the
funds to be realized by such a concert as
is offered next Sunday afternoon. Dur
ing his life he never failed to open his
purse when appeal was made to him
on behalf Of needy or suffering fellow
artist BY taking tickets for Sundays
memorial the purchaser will become a
sharer in the true Caruso spirit

RUSSIAN TENOR PLEAsEs.

Sergei Radamsky, a young Russian
tenor who sang here year ago and
gained favor, gave n song recital last
evening in Aeolian Hall with Miss Edna
Sheppard as the piano accompanist His
programme contained several interesting
novelties, among which were the Cars s
air from mskyKorsakov "Snegour-
otchka" ("Snow Maiden"). an opera to
be brought out this season at the Met
ropolitan a Spanish song by Osma.
Russian folk songs with his own ar
rangement of one, 1.-THE Druken Noble-
man." and Henry Gilberts song. Bring
From the Craggy Haunts." Mr.. Radam-
sky has advanced in his art. He has
gained in artistic finish. In an air of
Polemone from Cesti's Tito" with
Harold Mulligan at the organ, his beau
tiful voice was smooth and his style adj
mirably sustained.
His general singing needs little moro
vivacity and fancy, but his taste and his
appreciation of the texts Of his songs are
good.

BY w. J. HENDERSON.

Operagoers were enabled to give
thanks for two good performances at the
Metropolitan Opera House yesterday. In
the afternoon Puccini's "Madama But
terfly" was given for the first time this
season. The house was crowded and ap-
plaLse frequently broke in upon the
singers before the ends of the acts. Miss

1t calls for no special comment. 1t is
sufficient to say that while she has sung
the part with more brilliancy of tone
she never sang it inore touchingly than
she did yesterday.
In the second act particularly her de-
livery Of the music was vocal art OF
unusual excellence and beauty. Her
principal associates We're Mr.. Martinelli
as the fleeting Pinkerton and Mr.. Scotti
as the good friend Sharpless. The tenor
had abundant voice to offer. The barry
tone had less, but presented q piece OF

In the evening the second perform

Nine. Marie Jeritza. the new soprano
from Vienna. made her second appear
ance. There was genuine holiday
audience, largely composed of people
to whom the opera was not a daily
habit. and fully prepared to enjoy what
was offered to them These people
were enthusiastic and they called the
principal singers before the curtain
many times
A repetition of korngold's work did
not suggest any new comment Again
the thoughtful hearer must have felt
that this score was the creation of a
talent decidedly above the ordinary,
but still in the formative period. The
young man is influenced by too many
older composers Of too many different
schools. His style is a conglomerate
without coherency. He tries to do too
much with his themes. too much with
his voices, too much with his orchestra
He rarely attains either directness Of
line. simplicity of musical speech or
transparency of Instrumentation.
In spite of all this his work has a
remarkable amount Of vital force, and
it has afforded Nine. Jeritza material
for the composition of one of the most
fascinating characters of recent opera.
This in itself is sufficient reason for
the production of the opera. Nine.
Jeritza was in excellent voice and
spirits last evening and treated the au-
dience to a perform nee quite as bril-
liant as that which last Saturday made
her the talk of the town.
Mr.. Harrold again sang the formid-
ably difficult music of Paul most cred

Free Men Of Color and Slaves Served
in the Revolutionary War.

When by several naval battles in the
West Indies the forces of Admiral Count
d d'Estaing had become depleted to an
alarming extent he went to Haiti for
recruits. In 1777 aboard the ships OF
the Admiral there were upward of 500
men of color who had volunteered their
services in view of the critical position
of the American forces at Savannah. To
the gallantry Of these free men of color
the American Commonwealth should give
praise, for their pluck and determination
were of value in saving the patriot army
from defeat.
But besides the Haitian negroes there
were American slaves whose earthly
masters had taken them to the point of
danger to render offensive aid, and hum
dteds OF negroes fought for American
Independence only to be purposely for

who fought in the Revolution" says
Wilson, "were reenslaved, and this is so
far beyond doubt that no one denies It."
In Mrs. Kembles "Diary on Geor-
gian Plantation In the Year 1888" she
relates the following incident: 'In the
evening there visited me the son OF a
very remarkable man who had been one
OF the chief drivers on the estate Of
Major Kemble. who brought me a silver
cup which Major X. had given his father
az n testimonial Of his fidelity and
trustworthness Mt the time of the inva-

"was not this a curious reward for
a slave, who was supposed not TO be
able to read his own praise? And yet
from the honorable pride with which his
son regarded this relic 7 am sure the
master did well so to reward his SER
want. though 1t seemed hard that the
son of such q man should be a slave.

Opinion of Visiting Professionals on
Their Return to England,

From The Mdachcster Guardian.
George Duncan and Abe Mitchell, the
two famous British professionals, re-
turned on Saturday from their four
months tour In the United States. In
America the summer heat has been alb
normal and most of the professionals
engagements were fulfilled during the
hottest part of the season. 1t was the
heat to which Mitchell attributed his
failure in the American open champion-
ship my clothes made me so hot that

which ran down my arms and over my
hands. so that no matter what 1 did I

was absolutely DONE" Duncan said that
Mitchell was leading more than half OF
the field at the time, for all the hmeri-
can professionals were suffering from
the heat.
At the start OF the tour Duncan said
he took double figures CID for hole
for the first time in his life. This was
in the Shawnee tournament and at tho
fourth hole, which measures something
like $50 yards. 1t was at the same hole
that Harry vardon took nine during his
tour year ago.
During their tour the pair played 72
matches. 81 OF which they won they lost
II and halved four. During these
matches their average best ball score
was between 65 and &C. and the average
Individual score about 73ia.

opia and wykagyl as among the best
courses they played over during their
tour "The interest In the game In the
United States Is enormous" Duncan and
Mitchell state. "The golf course archi-
tects have sufficient orders to keep them
all going for the next three years."
Nor had they any divided opinion rs
to the right Of Jesse Guilford, the pres
ent amateur champion of America, to
his title. Both Duncan and Mitchell say
he - &c nsest. amateur golfer in the
United States at the moment. although
there Is little between him and Bobby
Jones Walter Hagen at the moment Is
reearded as the best OF the professionals
Tho reason why W. ]. Hunter was
beaten in the American championship,
said Duncan. was his inability to get
the same length from the tee as Gardi-
ner. "If the weather had been fine
think Hunter would have won that
championship" Duncan added. When
the failure of Miss Leitch became known
at tho clubhouse there were hysterical
scenes
"It Is unlikely" said Duncan, "that
there will be so many players from
America over here for tho next British
open championship so Far as the profess
sionals are concerned. Jock Hutchison.

The Beggars.

I see the naked trees extend
Their limbs toward the sky
Like supplicating arms upraised
TO ancient gods on high
I hear them in the bitter blast
Forlornly moan and cry.
For in the night the norther came,
robber fierce and bold,
And stripped them Of their gorgeou,
cloaks
or brilliant red and gold.
And left them all impoverished
TO shivc- In the cold.
And SO In every chilly gust
They utter sounds Of woe,
Bowing their gray uncovered heads
And rocking to and fro,
Petitioning the gathering clouds
To wrap them III the snow.

rier opposite me asked IL I could spare

morrow; and without further explana.
ton he left the train.
There Is more IN this. thought, than

many of those seated, while pretending
TO be occupied with n newspaper or

Formerly those people found an asy-

now that that hosritable retreat has
been wiped out they flock to the

Prices in Germany.
The FaIl In the Mark and the Pro-
lection of American Goods.

To THE New YoRK HERALD: Last
week ! met a leather dealer just back
from Germany. After telling me of the
purchases he had made--a pair Of cor
dovan leather shoes for $1.37. a cut
away suit of 800. value here for s17.25
a diamond scarfpin with stone better
than one-quarter carat for 81 and other
articles-he gave me twenty marx
bill issued in 1914.
When the bill was printed the mark
was Of normal value and the bill was
worth s4.76 in American currency. To-
day, with the mark deprecated to about
one-third of a cent. this bill is worth in
American currency but six cents or a
depreciation of s4.70 in the seven years
it has been in circulation.
No wonder America cannot without
adequate protection compete against
goods manufactured in Germany.
