FRENCH j n |TE D
WITH GERMANS IN
Ne " Y0RK'S OPERA
One Place Is Found Where
Enemy Nations Are At
Peace

BERLIN, May 26.-(By Associated
Press )-There's at least one place In
the world where French. Germans
and Italians work cordially to-
gether, and that's the Metropolitan
opera house in New York, says Bar
bara Kemp, the German singer, who
is back in the fatherland temporarily
with a four-year contract at the
Metropolitan tucked among her
librettos. The German diva was
highly pleased at the absence of per-
sonal jealousies and political ami
mosities from the atmosphere in
which she found herself during the
past season.. She is convinced, more
over, that in New York, in fact.
throughout all North and South
America, there prevail sincerely
warm sympathies for German opera.
Miss Kemp calls attention to the
fact that American efficiency and
business methods apply to operates
in the United States as we'll as to
anything else, and that artists are
paid only for what they actually do,
not for what their contracts specify.
Whereas in Germany a singer is en-
gagged and paid by the season, in the
United States the contract calls for a
certain number of performances
within specified period.

CONSTRUCT NEW MOTOR

Special interest attaches to the ap-
plication to airplanes of new mo-
tor employing heavy oils in view
of the recent tragic accident to the
London airplane liner in which two
Americans were killed. for it is said
with such a motor there would be
no danger of a plane catching fire.
One of the great French engineer
ing firms is working on new air
plane in conjunction with one of the
principal airplane contractors. The
new airplane will have two new 500
horsepower motors, built on exactly
the same lines as the heavy oil en-
CINE which is proving SO successful
on automobiles. 1t is said that this
airplane, besides its great additional
safety. will be vastly more economical
to operate. Some persons think that
the new engine should result in an
increase in air travel to an extent
not hitherto contemplated.

THINGS ANE CHANGED

1nasmuch as things monarchial are
now rather passe in Germany, a mo
torist the other day tried to drive his
car through the middle arch of the
famous Brandenburger Tor, a privi-
lege which formerly was reserved
exclusively for the Kaiser. A police
man abruptly halted the automobile
and asked the surprised driver for
his name. address and license mum
Der; at the same time informing the
man at the wheel that he was a law
breaker.
But" protested the chauffeur, ~
thought all that was a thing of the
past. We have republic now
The patrolman looked up from his
notebook long enough to remark that
the latter part of the protest was
certainly correct. but he asked the
motorist what he meant by his ref
erence to the past.
oh, the Kaiser and all that" ex-
planned the driver The policeman
smiled. You're a little behind the
times" he replied. THE Kaiser used
to be the only one who could enter
here; now the middle arch is reserved
for street cleaners He added, how
ever, that the reichswehr and fire
men must also be so privileged, but
that only in cases of dire necessity
could private citizen use the mid

Is Martin Lyons, a patient in the
Toledo CO.. hospital for the insane.
a soldier Of the United States army
prior to 1917, or Is he the man whose
identity he has at times claimed-Bert
Jordan, World war veteran?
This Is the question which has puz-
zled authorities Of the American LIE
glon and other agencies for the relief
Of the ex-service man since the man
was found wandering about the streets
of Toledo two years ugo.
As Lyons, he has been identified by
the War department Us having served
In the army In 1915. Finger prints
aided in the establishment Of this iden-
tihcation.
When discovered in Toledo he gave
the authorities the name Of Bert Jor-
dan. said by War department officials
to have been an officer Of the World
war. Cards and letters in the mans
clothing bore this name. Since then
he has become paralyzed and lost use
of voice and hands. but has indicated
that his correct name was Martin
Lyons. He once claimed California
as his home state, and when found
carried photograph of a Salt Lake
City (Utah) restaurant in his pocket.
Through the agency Of the Red Cross
1t has been determined that such a
man was patient in Stockton
(Callf.) hospital, but was discharged
or escaped. He ia then thought to
have enlisted In the United States army
at Alameda, Calf. in 1915, but was
dropped two months later as men
