Commission at Washington ENEMY SUFFERS HEAVILY Kaiser Forced to Send Many Divisions From Russia to Strengthen Lines WASHINGTON November The British and French forces Sn Inlander have kept encased about half the total German force on the western front without any succsss being recorded for the Oerman arme according to a review of the altuatton mado publle today by the Trenoh High Commission The statement eala with opera lions beginning early in June when British forces opened the battle of Flanders In a summary It says We can conclude that the strength and the continuity of the Anglo French offensives whlen Have until this day prevented Germany from undertaking offensive opsratlone on a large seal on the Russian front will perhaps restrict the help which Germany could give the Austrian army on the Italian front up to such time as the situation can be retrieved on this front SltpFKK ENORMOUS LOSSES There Is clear proof the statement says that tha Germans were forced to employ successively seventy divisions to bold the allies In check In the battle of Flanders about one half their total forces on the western front and that they suffered enormous losses German troops from the eastern front to support the western line be gan in September when the 19th reserve division was transferred from Riga to Tpres It Is believed other divisions were similarly transferred and that the reduction on the eastern front prevented the Germans from carrying out their plans on that lino during tne last ween una wwin The statement says the exact strength of the German troops sent into Ttalv to make cosslble the pres ent Austro German offensive Is not known but It points out that the new Trench offensive on the Alsne has cost the enemy In two days the loss of several villages ana important heights besides 12000 prisoners of whom 200 are officers and 120 cannon without counting the large war material MUST SEND MORS TROOPS The Trench Commission believes that the effect of this French opera tlon will render It still more Imperative for Germany to transfer more troops the French front It Is unquestionable says tha statement that the state of the Russian army much more than the bad season through the slackening and even the stopping of all active operations allowed rmany to take awav troops from Its eastern front to seek elsewhere the success so necessary both to the German people and to discontented and tired Austrlans GERMANS IN ITALY What is exactly the strength of the forces which Germany has flung against Italy for the first time since the two countries have been at war we do not know and all discussion en this subject would be useless in view of the fact that such forces have been sufficient to assure them of tha rapid advance which must Absolutely be checked After pointing out that operations on the western front by the allies served to limit to some extent the offensive measures contemplated by Germany both In Russia and In Italy the statement concludes feuUi Is Irrespective of the exaet losses Inflicted on the enemy and of the dactlcal advantages secured by the allies and the true Import of their successes on the western front i i Taafe

the new solo player piano Clarence Eddy one of the norldt foremott musical authorities At a concert organist he stands pre eminent lis fame extending throughout the musical vorld Mr Eiiy is a gifted pianist a deep tludent of the piano Hit vide experience and high artistic attainments particularly qualify this distinguished musician to speak rvilh authority on the player piano past and present Without exception the great artists who have heard the Soloelle the New Solo Player Piano have unhesitatingly given it their enthusiastic approval Best of all Ae authorities who have investigated the wonderfuf Soloelle we thmk Clarence Eddy in his article on The New Marvel for Personally Producing Music has expressed himself most clearly and fully Mr Eddy is thoroughly informed concerning the difficulties that makers of player pianos have for years tried unsuccessfully to overcome He is familiar with the shortcomings and the virtues of the old type player pianos Mr Eddy writes authoritatively because of alifetime devoted to the study of artistic music The New Marvel for Personally Producing Music By Clarence Eddy The Player Piano has finally arrived as an artistic instrument It has long been recognized that jf a means could be found to separate and control separately Melody and Accompaniment a vital objection to the player piano would be removed The entire player piano industry was groping and searching for a solution ofAhis problem when as suddenly as a bolt of lightning from a clear sky the invention of the wonderful Soloelle was announced It then became apparent that the separation of Melody and Accompaniment control which the Soloelle completely accomplished was in reality not a goal as it had so long been considered but in the light of further and more startling accomplishments of the Soloelle was really the necessary and indispensable foundation wfcich formed the starting point of the production of music by the player piano The Soloelle not only solves the hitherto baffling problem of Separate Melody and Accompaniment control but provides a complete control over the stroke of the piano hammer which affords the control over Tone Color These two accomplishments of the Soloelle completely bridge the vast gap between the player piano with its mechanical imitation music Liberty Bonds Are as Good as Cash at Kohler Chase and the ideal artistic player piano of the future the Soloelle whose performance in the hands of any intelligent person rivals the musical performance of the higher class of virtuosi Those musically educated jalways understood that it was the lack of Tone Color in the music of a player piano that made it monotonous mechanical sing songy and tiresome they Jcnow that Tone Color is to music what perspective is to painting and that Tone Color is as readily recognizable and as readily understood even by those whohaYC not been schooled in the technique of art and music You have but to hear the Soloelle the New Solo Player Piano taTealize the vast possibilities of musical entertainment and pleasure that it opens up for the individual who has never been taught to play from the keyboard 1 1
