diplomatic, between America and her
recent allies has failed of its purpose
in precisely the same way that Ger
man propaganda in this country failed
in every one. of the years between
1914 and 1918" says an editorial in
the American Legion Weekly.
THE truth is merely that the Ger
mans do not know how TO so about

any knowledge of the fine art of get
ting something over, fact amply at
tested by the reflex action which has
accompanied the present attempt. The
Won Mach style of responsiveness is
no more subtle than the efforts of
st. Bernard puppy to stand up on a
hardwood floor. 1t is flattering the
Won Mach type of boring from within
to call its insidious. Insidious 1t is,
however, in its intent if not in its ap-
plication.

a poor servant of his country, wheth-
er he regards his country as America

NEW KINGLY HONOR
FOR MARTINELLI

For a second time the King OF Italy
has paid signal honors to Giovanni
Martinelli, the celebrated tenor Of
the Metropolitan Opera Company,
who will appear at the Playhouse on
November /. The concert will be
given under the auspices of the State
Board of Health for the benefit of its
clinic.
Eight years ago, before Martinelli
had won his enviable reputation
abroad, he was recognized as a
great voice. in Italy, and at the
conclusion Of the Verdi centenary,
held at Parmi. in 1913. King Victor
Emmanuel made him a chevalier OF
the order OF the Crown Of Italy.
This order. which corresponds to
the Legion d'honneur in France, is
the highest obtainable by men in civil
rank.
Last year. by way Of recognizing
the position, Martinelli had taken in
the world of music and Of rewardine
him for continuing the high tradi-
tions of italian artists. the King
raised him to the second highest de-
gree in this order. Martinelli may.
If he wishes, sign his checks "Cava-
liere officiaie della Cornona d'Italia. "
The special occasion chosen for the
bestowal of this honor was the fourth
time In four years when Martinell
gave his services in aid Of hospital
fund for the Italian poor in and
about New Jersey.
The people Of Italy feel that their
great singers abroad are their best
ambassadors for friendship with the
United states and a success like
Martinellfs duplicated by him IN
South America as well. is viewed al
most as Of political importance.
