To encore or not to encore. that is
the questioh-for some artists, but not
for Alma /GIuek who has given the
problemzconsiderab thought. Every
one knows how much uncertainty
there generally is when the applause
wakes and wanes and starts again,
while the performer is still in the
wings; the question is in Sall minds:
"Will she come out and sing again ?''
VIII she. won't she, will she, WORT
she? That is. also. exactly what runs
thru the artists mind.
s But there is nothing like system.
whether one happens to be manage
of an automobile factory or an artist;
that's why Alma Gluck, always orig
inal in her own particular way, has
evolved one to cover the matter of
encores, She explains the question
The Topeka state journal., 1921-02-05

like this: "It is trivial vanity that
prompts an artist to give encores on
small encouragement, and this gratuf-
tous putting forward of self is cheap
ening. AS rule. audiences are too
polite, in America, to let effort go un-
rewarded; almost anything gets some
applause. And we all know that it is
cruel for some performers to take ad-
vantage of a kindly disposed public
That is why only pronounced en-
couragement should induce an artist
to give an encore. I have a system
thst may seem queer. but it is abso-
lutely sound: the first recall 1 ascribe
to politeness, the second to apprecia-
ton of the music and composer; then
if two bows do not satisfy the applaus :
feel that the people really want to
hear me again, and sing"

bale up, the market having advanced
considerably prior to the report from
the government at 10 o'clock. All
the months in the contract market
made new high levels for the season.
The heaviest kind of realizing
came from owners Of long contracts
as the price bulged and at 1915

Prospects Good.

Washington, Sept. 1.-The ques
tion of adjusting points at issue ir
the Island Of Yap is still the subject
of diplomatic conversations between
the United States and Japan, with
good prospects of satisfactory settle
ment, it was said today at the State
Department. No intimation, however
was given as to the probable basis Of
adjustment.
Previously it had been indicated
that the cables would very possibly
be distributed among interested pow,
ers, such as the United States, Japan
and Holland. The. question of recog-
nizing the Japanese mandate over the
island, however, it is understood, Is
still open.

Toxic, Sept. 1.-The Japanese for
eign Office has received dispatch
according to Toxic newspapers today
indicating that the points at issue be.
tween Japan and the United States
over control of the Island Of YaI
would soon be settled upon the fol.
lowing basis:
First, the United States would re.
cognize the Japanese mandate over
the island. y. d..
Second, The. United States would
control the cable between the islands
of Yap and Guam.
Third, the cable connecting Japan,
Yap and Menado, Holland, would be
settled on a basis of recognition of
Hollands rights therein. =. e.
The cabinet yesterday decided on
an outline Of Japan's policy at Wash
ington, the Nichi Nichi says, whereby
Japan will "insist to the last" upon
the exclusion from the agenda of the
following accomplished facts:
First, the Kwang-Tung leased ter
ritory; second, the operation Of the
South Manehurian Railway; third,
Kae-Chau, which will be returned to
China, according to previous declar-
ations; fourth, the question of Yap,
This outline will be submitted to the
diplomatic advisory council.
The Chugai-Shogyosshimpo thinks
it is almost certain that China will
endeavor to"reopen the twenty-one
demands question and that the Hara
government will find it difficult to-
oppose such a move, because it is on
record as against the Japanese poll
cy behind the twenty-one demands.
1t also believes that Japan will have
difficulty in inducing the powers par
ticipating in the Washington confer
ence to refrain from discussing mat
ters solely affecting particular pow
ers and accomplished facts in gen.
eral.

Washington, Sept. 1.-The fedora
government stood ready tonight t,
act in West Virginia should tomor
rows report show lack Of complianc.
with President Harding's proclama
ton calling on all persons engaged
in unlawful and insurrectionary pro
ceedings" to return to their homes.
Two regiments of troops Of thou
sand men each, one at Camp Sherman
Ohio, and the other at Camp Dix, N
j., were in readiness to move ints
the State on moments notice, Wal
Department officials said.
A proclamation declaring marital
law in five West Virginia counties
has been drawn up and signed by the
President, ready for promulgation..
Officials, however, remained still
hopeful that neither of these steps
would be necessary although. their
spirit of optimism had been lowered
during the day by dispatches from
the disturbed area telling of clashes
between bands of armed men and
State authorities and containing no
indications of a disposition to comply
with the Presidents proclamation.
Decision as to whether the federal
government will order troops into the
State and declare martial lava step
which has not been taken in any
State since the days Immediately fol-
lowing the Civil War-will depend on
conditions as reported by Brig. Gen.
Bandholtz at noon tomorrow, the hour
fixed as a limit by President Hard
ing. Gen. Bandholfz left. Washington
late today and arriving in Charles
ton early tomorrow will begin a sur
vey of the situation.
The declaration of military rule
and the use of troops to enforce it, if
found to be necessary by Gen. Band
holtz, it was stated, will be confined
to Kanawha, Fayette, Boone, Logan
and Mingo counties, comprising Sec
tion in the Southwestern part of the
State and embracing Charleston, the
State capital.
Reports from several points in the
disturbed area were forwarded to
Secretary Weeks by Governor Morgan
during the day. They said that the
armed men resented orders to dis
perse, declaring they would force the
overnment to declare martial law
and threatening to blow up troop
trains in the event such were sent
into the State.
