S. Military Academy. Special to The Eagle.) has February nominated 7 two Governor Brooklyn National Guardsmen to compete for admission to the United States Military Academy, under the new law passed last year by Congress. The lucky Brooklynites are Murray J. Framan, sergeant in Company of the Fourteenth Regiment, and Edgar M.

Gregory, corporal in the Twelfth Company of the Thirteenth Coast Artillery. The act under which they were selected authorizes the President to appoint cadets to the Military Academy from among enlisted men of the Guard between the ages and 22 years, who have served at least a year. Such appointments are made under certain regulations prescribed by the President. These provide that the appointments shall be made upon recommendations of the Governors of the various States and Territories, and after successful passage, of preliminary examinations held between January January 15 of each year. These examinations are to be similar in scope to those required for entrance at West Point.

Governor Whitman ordered that these preliminary examinations be held in New York City, Brooklyn, Albany, Syracuse and McAllen. Tex. The admission of any of the appointees to the Military Academy depends upon their relative standing in the final examinations when ordered by the War Department. Besides the two Brooklynites, Governor Whitman appointed six others from Manhattan and other places. They are Marion W.

Clark of Chautauqua, private, Company Seventy-fourth Regiment; Merton E. Jennings of East Syracuse, private, Fourth New York Ambulance Company; Walter S. Zion of Syracuse, private, also member of the Fourth: Quentin B. Logie of New York City, private in Company 28, New York Coast Artillery Corps; Carl O.

Town of Roanoke Sold For $410 by Sheriff Fayette, February 7--The town of Roanoke, situated on the boundary line between Howard and Randolph counties, where the first Confederate company in Central Missouri was raised after the war between the States was declared, has been sold under the sheriff's hammer for $410, it was learned today. The property included ten lots and three buildings. Roanoke at one time was one of the busiest trading places in the State, being situated in the center of a heavy tobacco producing section. However, the building of a railroad and the founding of the town of Armstrong, three miles south, drove nearly all business from Roanoke to the new town almost overnight.

By taking the floor and delivering a speech, President Frank L. Dowling. at yesterday's meeting of the Board of Aldermen, saved from defeat a resolution intended to rid private and ment houses of motorcycle repair shops. Recently, Fire Commissioner Adamson sent a communication to the Board pointing out the dangers of permitting such shops to exist in densely populated neighborhoods without being subject to the restrictions to which automobile garages must conform. The remedy suggested was to give the Fire Commissioner the right to issue licenses for the establishment of repair shops of sort.

Many of the this, Aldermen took the view that the danger was exaggerated. They sympathized with the "poor man" and the "little fellow" starting a motorcycle repair shop with his small savings. "How could he afford to pay the place approved by the Fire Department?" they queried. President Dowling told the Aldermen, in effect, that it would be an everlasting disgrace for them to kill the measure. "A single human life." 1 he said.

"is worth more than all the motorcycle repair shops in the city. You'll be sorry if you defeat this President Dowling deciared the Health Commissioner had the power to close up such shops as are located in tenement houses, but preferred to have the Board of Aldermen act in the matter. "If you don't pass this resolution," he went on, "not only the Health Commissioner, but the Fire Prevention organization, will see to it that these shops are cleared out of dwelling houses. Measures more drastic than the one you are now voting on will be taken to gain that end." When President Dowling ceased speaking, a dozen or more Aldermen asked that their names be called again to give them a chance to change their votes. This was done, and the resolution was adopted by a vote of 47 to 19.

A resolution providing for the purchase without public letting of a $1,200 automobile for the use of the Borough President of Brooklyn, was adopted, but not without earnest objection by Alderman Francis P. Bent, who represents the Bushwick district. Bent wanted to know why $1,200 of the taxpayers' money should be put into an auto for President Pounds, or one of his bureau chiefs, when a machine plenty good enough for all practical purposes could be bought at less than half that figure. He called it "a piece of extravagance." It was explained to Alderman Bent that the money for the $1,200 auto had been appropriated in the budget, and that it was only a question of buying the machine in the open market, instead of going through all the red tape and expense of public letting: but he would not recede from his position. Alderman Gutman introduced a resolution recommending to the Board of Education that hereafter any person appointed to any teaching or supervising position in the public schools shall, in writing, declare his belief in principles of the Constitution of the States and "the intention to promote the good order and happiness Gutman said that for a number of years the Board of Education had appointed many teachers who are not citizens of the United States, and that among the teachers in the public schools of the city there were at the present time 1,000 aliens.

Alderman Bent introduced a resolution providing for the appointment of a special committee of the Board of Aldermen, to be known as the home defense committee, with the object of assisting in every way possible the strengthening of the Home Defense League. $16,406 CORONA SEWER Bids Opened on Six Jobs terday.

PIQUE STUDENTS IN RECITAL. Vocal and Instrumental Numbers Given With Skill and Feeling. A piano and vocal recital by students took place at the Carl Fique Musical Institute, 128 DeKalb avenue, last evening, the studios being crowded by music lovers. A duet, "Still As the Night," sung by Rose Manda and Clarice Holzhalb, opened the program. Each appeared later in groups of solo songs, displaying, respectively, fine soprano and voices, well under control.

Another vocalist was Edna Meinken, possessing advanced qualifications, welded to a beautiful voice. Songs and arias were sung in English, German, Italian, French and Bohemian, and were artistically accompanied by Mrs. Katherine Noack Fique. A Concerto for piano, by Reinecke, was ably played by Christine Heingartner, with Carl Fique at the second piano. Another two-piano number was the "Fledermaus" Fantasy, in which Mr.

Fique assisted the spirited playing of Clara Heckerling. Dorothy Doscher, A very youthful performer, rendered a Leduc waltz very prettily. Henry Krieger gave Fique's "Dance Caprice" with skill in playing octaves. Mrs. Louise Distler was heard in Fique's Bach Variations, full justice to the extremely difficult work.

Josephine Lipp's performance of Wagnerian music was well phrased and emphatic. Katherine Maguire's three selections were a marked with brilliancy, Grainger's "'Shepherd's Hey" being especially successful. Elsa Golding played Liszt's Sixth Rhapsody with a virtuoso command of rapid octaves. All of the other soloists reaped well-deserved applause and floral offerings. The next musicale is to take place on February 27.

2,000 "TRENCH" COATS FOR OLD MEN'S HOME City Buys Garments in Excess of French Contract at $4 Apiece. The Charities Department, through the Central Purchasing Committee, has obtained authority from the Board of Aldermen to buy at $4 apiece, without public letting, 2,000 "trench" overcoats, of the kind that are being manufactured in this city for the French army. They are to be used for the inmates of the city's old men's home. This bargain was discovered by Commissioner of Accounts Leonard M. Wallstein, secretary of the Purching Committee, whose representative displayed a sample coat before the wondering eyes of the City Fathers yesterday afternoon.

The Board was informed that the city had been paying the States Prisons Department about $9 for a coat of the same warmth and quality. French "trench" overcoat is a comfortable looking garment of ulsterlike pattern. Attached to the coat is a hood that can be drawn over the head in blustery weather. The color is an olive drab and the material "30-ounce all wool," with a substantial lining. The manufacturer who made these coats has delivered 200.000 of them to the French Government at $11 each.

The 2.000 about to be acquired by the Charities Department were in excess of the contract. THE KNEISELS' CONCERT. program at Aeolian Hall was the playing of the Sextet "Verklaerte Nacht." by Schoenberg. This number, beautiful because of its sustained melody and clarity, received an unusually fine performance, Messrs. Bostelmann and Renard supplementing quartet itself for this number.

Next in order of delight was the Beethoven String Quartet in major, which the composer arranged from his Sonata in major, opus. 14, No. 1. No quartet has yet equalled the Kneisels in the performance of a classic quartet number of this nature. The Franck Quartet in major completed a varied and thoroughly interesting program.

ESTELLA NEUHAUS' RECITAL. Estella Neuhaus, pianist, and J. Howe Clifford reader, gave a recital yesterday afternoon in Aeolian Hall, Manhattan. Miss Neuhaus gave the first movement of Schumann's Concerto in A minor, arranged by self, as a solo, and both arrangement and interpretation were interesting. Her other solos were grouped and selected well and ably interpreted, the "Gipsy Chant." by Lanyi, and "Russian Dance," by Tschaikowsky, making an especial appeal.

Chopin numbers included the Nocturne in flat major, a "Larghetto," Mazourka in sharp minor, and his minor etude. Moszkowski's famous waltz was also given. J. Howe Clifford read well parts of Acts I and II from Shakespeare's "Macbeth." Sophie Gitlin, Lillian Glickman. Sadie Gross, Henrietta F.

Jonas Lie, who came prominently into notice with his pictures along the Panama Canal, has thirty-five convases on at Mr. Montross' galleries. He formerly extenViews sively dramatic, but in this exhibition is delightfully intimate with his coastmarines, "Across the River" and "On the River Front." Most inviting is a view of a factory town in winter, snow in the foreground contrasting with dingy buildings and clouds of smoke arising from tall stacks in the far background.

He approaches the dramatic, however, in 'The Passing Fleet." great dark sails of the fleet almost hiding the hills in the background. Pleasantly reminiscent of Norway are several episodes. But Lie's perhaps most pleasant of all are Mr. hillsides, with farms or dwellings dotting colors here and there across the canvases. In them dwell peace and plenty.

The artist is as fertile as ever in his floral subjects. There are lively scenes of places in Nova Scotia, Quebec. St. John, N. and Asheville, N.

Alden Weir, whose canvas is a portrait of Colonel Weir, a gallant, ruddyfaced, gray-mustached man, painted with fine poise and realism. Sargent's portrait is "Countess Szechenyi," painted in distinguished style, in a garden environment, and in white dress and blue sash. William T. Smedley's delightful portrait instances a girl in a reddish dress and black cloak, feawith hair flowing and animated tures. "Dick Nickerson," by Philip L.

Hale, is a brilliant work. "Oscar Leighton," by Childe Hassam, shows an old man, kindly and friendly in expression. "Miss Joan a little girl in brown and blue habit, is charming. "Frank Duveneck," by Charles Grafly, is distinguished. Kenneth Frazier's full-length portrait of a girl in white, with light color scheme throughout (though the figured background has black arabesque in it), is also distinguished for brush work.

"Robert Barker," in white doublet and blue tie, is a fine little man, and William Cotton's notably painted lifesize portrait of a young woman against a warm, dark background, brings out finely her handsome figure and face and her delicately textured gown. "Miss Barbara in white, with a black velvet sash. is a sweet-faced young girl, subtly painted by Earl Stetson Crawford. "Miss Marguerita Lord," by Henry S. Hubbel, is in outdoor dress, with a close, modish blue hat and coat of blue, a face figure and texture all put on with brilliant touches.

"Jacques," "Mr. J. Washington Queen" and "Sandy," bronzes by Sara Morris Greene and Stirling Calder respectively, are well modeled and effective as character sketches. Stirling Calder's "Sandy" represents him well. "John Burroughs" is a forceful bronze by Herman A.

MacNeil. "Kelvin Vanderlip," by Rudolph Evans, is intimate and effective. "Friends," a beautiful young woman in white, with a white and yellow dog beside her, is one the most charming bits of light-scheme work in the collection. "Gitana" is a good bronze by Enrique Marin, and the head of a woman drawn in brown is effective in the hands of Mary Cass Canfield. "Francis Thurb?" 3d" a delightful boy, in a white suit.

"Mrs. Harmon Bailey," at a table, is ably painted by Gordon Stephenson. Lydia Field Emmet's "Daughter of Dr. Percy H. Williams" shows cleverly a scheme of white costume with red drapery environment against a light background.

"Virginia" is a small portrait sketch of value by Guy Pene du Bois. "Mrs. N. M. Mayer" and "Marsden J.

Perry," by John Elliott, exemplify the artist's style. Miss Butler's Pictures of Indian Themes at Washington Square Gallery. Rozel O. Butler exhibits her pictures at 47 Washington Square South, Manhattan. She is a Nebraskan and has studied abroad.

She paints Western scenes with poise and realism and has lived in Indian settlements in order to get local color. "A Chongo Weaver" shows the artist's grasp of her theme, also' "Hopi House in Grand Canyon, Sunday" with glow of color and Indian figures, and canvases of Mexico, where the peculiar sun-effects, color of hills, huts and rocks are well treated. "The Bird Man of Mexico" is a kind of domestic idyl; a man and his big-caged space for feathered friends, set out in the market place, features the scene well. "Indians Crossing the Rio Grande' contrasts with "The Banana one is full of the sweep of the open and the other gives color and charm of the market-place. "The Wreathmaker," with gorgeous flowers in the mart, is a forceful canvas, and also the "Fruit Market," with stores of oranges and tropical fruit.

"Mirage" is interesting with its illusionary gleam of water. There is a moonlight scene and also a "Night at Taos," where mystery and realism join. The brush work is broad and sentient. "The Prospector," keen and strongly lined among the sage brush, and "'The Vega Canal," with its straight banks and reflections in its waters, and tropical looking trees, are canvases which have strength. "Sunset at Sentinel Rock" and bison herds in the vast Western foothill country are other themes.

Nearer home are "Gloucester and an allegorical scene with mermaids and the sea. France and U. S. Treaty Signed 139 Years Ago on Fberuary 6 Yesterday, February 6, was an niversary notable and memorable to France and the United States. One hundred and thirty-nine years ago--on February 6, 1778-was signed famous treaty of alliance between the two nations, the only treaty of the kind ever entered into by the United States, cementing a friendship has endured until now and one that the peoples of the two nations hope may endure forever.

It not until the French Government had recognized the United States as an independent nation and by the treaty, offensive and defensive, had bound itself to fight together with the American people for that independence-neither to conclude a senarate peace--that the tide of battle began to turn. Washington would not have succeeded without the aid given to the American people by the French Government, King Louis XVI and the French people. Washington fought England with his hands tied. Many defeats in New England, New York, Virginia and the South greatly discouraged the patriots and it requires no deep study of our nation's history to bring to Americans a realization of the fact that, but for the soldiers and ships, the funds and support given by France, the Revolution would have been crushed. Without the aid of the French soldiers and the French fleet.

which blocked the mouths of the James and York Rivers, the decisive blow could not have been dealt by Washington. The able generalship of the Marquis de Lafayette was shown nowhere in the Revolution more brilliantly than in this siege. His quick eye saw that Cornwallis had caged himself and, 18TH READY TO MOVE AT MOMENT'S NOTICE Equipment Ready and Many Recruits Apply to Fill Vacancies. After spending all day Sunday and working until 5 o'clock morning in checking up equipment, it was announced at headquarters night in the Thirteenth Regiment Armory last night that the Coast Artillery command is ready to move on the shortest notice and that the entire command, with all supplies, could be collected and leave the armory in less than 24 hours. Arrangements have been made with the telegraph companies and copies of a form telegram have been provided which will be dispatched to every member of the regiment the instant orders are received for mobilization.

The officers of the Coast Artillery feel confident that their regiment will be the first to respond to any call. Owing to the uncertainties of the military situation, it was decided at a council of officers to indefinitely postpone the annual non-commissioned officers ball, which has been a fixture in Brooklyn military circles for many years on the eve of Washington's Birthday. Also the scheduled reviews of the regiment were canceled although there will probably be a review held toward the end of this month, if the regiment is not called upon by that time. Nearly a score of applicants presented themselves to the recruiting officer last night--the first harvest in the campaign to secure the 100 men needed to fill the regiment's complement of 1,440 But out of the score only eight were accepted and sworn in. "Undeveloped America" was what Lieutenant W.

C. G. Wahle, the recruiting officer of the command, called the condition shown by this wholesale refusal of applicants. The chief defects were lack of weight, poor chest and bodily development, and bad eyesight, while a few were refused because of heart disease, he explained. Despite the number of refusals the recruiting officers expect to reach the desired total within a week.

They expressed no fear of leaving with unfilled ranks, if war is declared, but said that in a day after orders were received 300 recruits would come forth, probably 200 of which would be old members of the regiment, anxious to rejoin. LEVITZKI AS SOLOIST With the Philharmonic in "Popular" Series at Carnegie Hall. Mischa Levitzki, the Brooklyn pianist, who has made an enviable record this season, was soloist with the Philharmonic Society its "popular" concert last evening in Carnegie Hall. He played the Schumann Concerto in A minor with the skill which that composer's works demand, being melodic and less involved than are most modern composers' works, and therefore less difficult to play. In the "Andante" he restrained, and let beauty of tone speak.

In the "Allegro" movements, he played with swift regular swing; nothing in the way of the bizarre was noticeable, but soul and mind controlled him. He was turously applauded, and the audience brought him out many times, as it did the dulcet- voiced soprano, Florence Macbeth, who sang the "Bell Song" from "Lakme." by Delibes. With a marvel of colorature and an etherial note of sweetness the soprano sang the difficult aria. The orchestra, under Mr. Stransky, played with unity and artistry the ever welcome Beethoven Symphony No.

4 and the "L'Arlesienne" Suite, by Bizet, with its "Carillon" at the end. The "Meistersinger" Prelude, by Wagner, played as a final number, was given with glory of tone. Mr. Stransky was enthusiastically applauded, and he beckoned his men to rise and share in the ovation. INSTRUCTION Co-Educational.

S. Graduates and H. S. Pupils: Should you be convinced that the EUCLID SCHOOL, during the week of January 15, had -three (43) calls for stenographers and office assistants that it could not All, would you then study stenography The salaries of these positions averaged over $12 a week-none less than $10. We cannot begin to meet the demand for well- trained stenographers and we do not know of A single graduate who is out of employment.

This is the opportune time to prepare! Respectfully. EUCLID SCHOOL Falton at Nostrand Av. posting his little army to cut off sible escape by the British, he urged Washington to hasten with his army to Virginia. Accompanied by Rochambeau and his French troops, the American general appeared before Yorktown and the result was the render of Cornwallis and his army. In siding with the Americans and I in signing the Treaty of Alliance of 1778, as well as in the participation of France in the Revolution, the French King's advisers knew the nation was courting financial disaster.

In entering the, war France had no other object than to help us secure our freedom and independence. The aid rendered and the sacrifices made Lafayette and his companions in arms were prompted and compelled by the nation-wide enthusiasm of French people of all classes for the American cause. The American Society for the Relief of French War Orphans, in issuing an appeal to the people of the United States to aid it in its efforts on behalf of the children of France made fatherless by the terrible war that now involves the greater part of Europe, calls attention to the fact that no more appropriate time than the anniversary of the Treaty of Alliance could be chosen for a practical demonstration of this nation's friendship for France. The French Government is now contributing 10 francs ($2) per month to the support of each child. but the sum of $5 for each orphan is needed, and the American Society is seeking to provide the necessary $3 per month additional to support 88 many of these destitute orphans as possible.

Its sole purpose is to provide aid and support, in France, for such orphans. Donations in any amount to the French War Orphans Fund are solicited by the society. TELEGRAPHY LEARN telegraphy; Telegraphers wanted; precedented demand. both sexes. for Wireless, Commercial.
