An international search was start

its recovery. The French secret ser

trace could be found OF the historic
necklace. And as the year went by
it's disappearance was forgotten by
all but a few secret service detec-

note
There Is a common complaint that
singers are pale out Of all proper
ton to their value. but those who
assert this are entirely ignorant OF
the facts No class of people are
paid so closely according TO their
value as great opera singers And
the standard OF drawing power must
necessarily be the drawing power OF
the individual singer
II Patti formerly could get $4,000
for a performance, il was because the
public was willing to pay that
amount and as much more to make a
profit for the management in order
TO hear her.
when Melba draws a fee OF $4,000
for an opera or concert. II Is because
she brings that much and more
money into the box Office
The same is true OF Caruso.
OF the younger generation OF sing
ers, Geraldine Farrar makes. by all
odds, the largest income. The ques-
ton Of her remuneration at the
Metropolitan Opera House was the
cause OF one OF the great musical
sensations Of a few seasons ago when
1t was announced that she had signed
a contract to devote the entire season
OF 1gf5-1s1s to concert work. Uti-
mately she was induced to relent to
the extent OF promising the Metro
politan twenty performances in the
spring Of 1916 and unquestionably
she Is close to Caruso in the matter OF
remuneration.
Miss Farrar's earnings are not
limited by any means to the fees she
receives for operatic performances.
There are concerts and this season
many OF them in which her earn
ings will be larger than could pos
slbly be made in opera. Her royal
ties from talking machines are lit
orally enormous. Since she came to
America nine years ago. her earning
capacity has more than duadrupled
but justly so, for with her. as with all
other great artists. her fees must be
gauged by the amount Of money the
public is willing to pay to hear her
sing and act.
Miss Farrar like most Of the opera
singers Of today, is a very long-head-
ca and eanny business woman. Herl
New England ancestry will account
Tor that And IL she retires at the
age OF 40, as she threatens to do
she will be one OF the very rich
women Of the world. for the years
that are left her tin that time viii

At This TIME
State Department Would

NO MENTION OF

WASHINGTON. April 1e-An alb
solute embargo on the shipment OF
arms and munitions from the United
States to Ireland would result from
an amendment asked by the State
Department to the act OF 1919 pro-
hiblting the shipment Of munitions
TO American countries.
The Senate Foreign Relations
Committee. mystihed by the propos-
ed amendment which Is a blanket
prohibition against shipment Of
arms and munitions TO any foreign
country where they might be used
for revolutionary purposes, has de-
cided to ask the state Department
for more information on the sub
ject.
According to explanations thus far
made, foreign powers have asked
the United States to join in a general
movement to prevent the shipment
Of arms to countries where revolu-
tions are in progress.
state Department officials have
made no authoritative statement re-
garding the proposal which was con-
sidered. Members of the Senate
committee said that the department
did not indicate that conditions in
Ireland had anything to do with the
proposal. but members generally
recognized that the Irish revolution
must be considered in discussion of
the amendment when It reaches the
floor of either house OF Congress.
Reports are current that plans for
extensive shipments Of arms to Ire
land from the United States have
been discovered and that this dis
covery had an important bearing on
the action OF the State Department
in appealing to Congress for the EN-
barge.
