Stefansson Urges Canadian Arctic As Meat Raising Field Explorer Says Reindeer and Musk Ox Herds Would Do Much to Relieve Shortage of Food, Milk and Wool OTTAWA, May plan for con? verting the and sub-arctic re? gions of Canada into a great wool, milk end meat producing area was presented to the Canadian Senate aid House Commons to-day by Vilhjalmar Ste? fansson, Norwegian explorer of the Canadian Arctic. Mr. Stefansson's ideas were recently placed before Arthur Meighen, Minis? ter of the Interior, whose department administers the natural resources of the north, and it was thought advisable' to have the explorer address Parlia? ment. project involves introduc? ing large herds of reindeer and domes? ticating and developing gTeat herds of musk ox. Both animals would fur? nish milk and meat supplies, and the musk ox would afford also a wool supply.

The Canadian north, Mr. Stefansson paid, could be utilized to help solve present and future food shortages, and development of his project would ex? pedite opening of mineral and other resources of the north. He estimated there were from 1,000,000 to 2,000.000 square miles of land available for graz? ing a climate too severe for cattle, but where reindeer and musk ox could exist the year 'round. In due time, Mr. Stefansson said, arctic Alaska will more than reindeer, producing as much r.ieat yearly as 14,000,000 sheep, or i seven times the present mutton pro- I duction of all the settled portion of Canada.

The Americans now realized, he declared, that they had made a mistake In starting the industry on snch a small scale, and he warned that Canada should not make the game mis? take. a of War-Time France" Shown Here by Motor Corps In the open space back of the Mu? nicipal Building a section of an ac? tive front in France has been repro? duced by the Motor TransDort Corps.

Mayor Hints at Veto Of Teachers' Pay Bill Proposed Increase Would Add to Burden of Rent Payers, He Declares Mayor Hylan issued a statement last nip-ht indicating that he would veto the bill advocated by women teachers in the elementary schools who demand the same salary for doing the "ame work performed by men teachers. The Mayor's statement, after setting forth that the Board of Estimate re? cently granted an extra allowance of 51,800,000 to be apportioned among teachers receiving $1,820 or less, said: "The rent payers seem to have their hands pretty full just now, and I can? not forget that I am the Mayor for them also. If this bill becomes a law, it will pilo from $10,000,000 to $20,000, 000 a year on to the already heavy tax burden.

She is to do special work in Paris for the Knights of Columbus, and will visit I various K.

C. "headquarters in France. For several months she has had charge of the triweekly entertainments given in the Longacre Hut. Miss Marbury is well known in France. For some time she was literary agent for Pinero and Rostand.

Before the war, the home she shared with Miss Anne Morgan and Miss Elsie de Wolfe at Versailles was a rendezvous for many of the celebrities of Europe. The French government decorated Miss Marbury for the work she did for France during the war. She raised a substantial sum for the devastated area by her translation of Maurice Barres's "Faith of France." Music Eufemia Giannini Has Glorious Voice, but Sadly Lacks in Training It would be idle to devote any critical i discussion to the son? recital given last night at Aeolian Hall by Signorina I Eufemia Grannini. As a recital it was Yet this young soprano pos i sesses a really glorious voice, vibrant, rich in color, a voice which under proper guidance to bring its owner to operatic fame. It is evi? dently opera toward which the young woman's heart is turned, for on her programme was the "Vissi d'arte" from "Tosca," "In quelle trine mor? bid)," from "Manon Lescaut," "Mi chiamano Mimi" from "La Boheme," and "Ah, fors lui" from "Traviata," and "Depuis le jour" from ''Louise." In all of these she showed her beauti? ful voice and an utter lack of style.

Everything she sang she dragged in? terminably, varying the weeping of her tones by forcing them to an often re? sultant tremolo. In short Signorina Giannini has splendid material and many of the worst vices of the modern Italian operatic school. As to the art of the recital she seemed absolutely ignorant. If she wishes to succeed in opera r-he ought to put herself under a rigorous course of study and learn the virtues of vocal restraint, of legato and of nuance. Vocal material is worthless without intelligent direction, ami Sig? norina Giannini as vet only the first.

G. V. Paquita Madriguera Grows Up and Gives Another Recital Miss Paquita Madriguera, the young Spanish pianist who came to America three years ago as a child prodigy, has gone into long skirts, if that adjective can be applied to the skirts of the year 1910, and gave a recital last night at Aeolian Hall. Miss Madriguera showed at her and at all her succeeding appearances a marked pianistic talent, but her extreme yquth prevented her from going beyond that. Now that she no longer is a child, an advance in the deeper things of her art might begin to appear, But, to be frank, it did not appear last She played the opening Beethoven sonata correctly enough, but with no sense of its real nature, and of the Chopin group only the valse and the tarantello found her altogether at home.

In the Spanish group, the "Seguidil? las" and "Triana" of Albeniz and the "Danza" and "El Pelele" of Granados. nhe was at in her element. These she played with color, yet with deli? cacy, and with a splendid rhythmic feeling. Miss Madriguera is Spanish, and it is as yet only in Spanish music that she has a definite message to de? liver. But at least in one field she is surpassingly good, which is rare in pianists, be they young or old.

DANCING ON REVOLVING FLOOR. phone 4635 Brvnnt. MORTIMKIt M. KELLY, MKr. 14th Street, near Third Avenue Services in Cathedral To Recall Lusitania Fourth Anniversary of Sinking of Liner To Be Observed Throughout Country Services in the Cathedral of St.

John the Divine at 4:30 this afternoon will mark the fourth anniversary of the sinking of the Lusitania by a Ger? man submarine. There will be a full choral service and an address by Dr. C. L. Slattery, of Grace Church.

Similar services will take place in other churches, and it is expected that ceremonies marking tho day will be held throughout the country. The public is invited to the cathedral, in which about thirty patriotic societies will join in the service. The American P.ights League, which initiated the movement, says in its an? nouncement that the service is not designed to perpetuate hate or bitter ness, but is in memory of those who were lost and to mark the moral entry of this country into the war. Services in the cathedral were ar ranged through the cooperation of Bishop Greer. -a Child Welfare Conference Problems To Be Discussed at Meetings This Week Problems dealing with care and train I ihg of children will be discussed at a i conference on minimum standards of i child welfare, beginning to-morrow night in the auditorium of the De Witt Clinton High School, and continuing I the rest, of the week at the Washington i Irving High School.

Among the subjects to be discussed I are "Minimum Standards of Care of Handicapped Children: Destitute, Neg lected, Delinquent and Defective," "Minimum Standards of Juvenile Rec reation," "Minimum Standards of Child Labor," "Minimum Standards of Child Health" and "Minimum Standards of Child Welfare in Schools." Governor Smith has issued a procla mation desijrnating Sunday, May 11, as "Child Welfare Sunday." On the Screen Salvation Army's War Work Is Depicted Cleverly in Film Feat? uring Catherine Cal vert "Fires of Faith," a motion picture made by the Famous Players in co? operation with the Salvation Army, opened at the Harris Theatre Monday right. To tell the truth, we went because we had to, for we hate being uplifted, and when we see noble souls, whether I on the screen or on the stage, doing all of things that make them un-I I comfortable we always have that guilt? iest feeling. But one need have no trepidation in attending this new film, for it is as gentle as the ministering of the Salva? tion Army itself and there, is no "holier than thou" atmosphere in it. It is an interesting story of a lot of people on both sides of tho ocean, and Eugene O'Brien is it -our favorite ading man, so soon to be lost to us in As we explained to Eugene at the end of the picture, "You stand alone in our affections as leading man. but as a star you'll have to compete with Charlie Ray and Doug Fairbanks." Catherine Calvert plays the leading feminine but we should have pre- ferred being Ruby de Reiner, because she married the hero.

Commander Evangeline Booth appears in some of the scenes, for it is a Salvation Army story. Miss Calvert is Elizabeth Blake, poor girl who goes to New York to be come a maid to a Traverse, who is interested in the work done by the Salvation Army. But Elizabeth is led1 into the broad and flowery path by the manager of the Traverse estate, and. as ever, the path proves more broad than' flowery. Ruby de Renter is Agnes Traverse and Eugene O'Brien is Harry Ham? mond, her One night Mrs.

Traverse had sel her heart on having accompany them to a Salvation Army meeting, but Harry chafes at the environment and the music, and goes outside to smoke and wait for the meeting to end. And that was the last of Harry in America for a long time. When he re covei consciousness he found himself on the ocean, and when he landed in England it was the Salvation Army that took care of him. And then he became a flier and Arm became a Salvation Army lassie, and Elizabeth was rescued by the Salva? tion Army, and they all met on the ether side; and there are a lot of; thrilling war scenes, with ruined chatcaus and secret passages, and rights in the air, and Harry lost his yesight, but got it. back again in time to marry Agnes when Luke married Elizabeth.

But we forgot all about Luke, and he was very interesting, mainly be- cause ho was played by Robert Ander? son, who did Monsieur Cuckoo in "Hearts of the World." The cast is excellent, although we liked Miss Calvert and Mr. O'Brien's work especially, and thought, that the story should have been so constructed that they could marry. Especially as one of the titles said "Elizabeth's in? terest ripened into love." But girls in tho movies are always loving one man and marrying another. Perhaps that is bo they will continue, to be in love with them. Helen Dunbar is seen aft Mrs.

Traverse; Theodore Roberts is a Sal? va? ion Army soldier; Charles Ogle is 'William Booth, founder of tho Army, and Edythe Chapman is Mrs. Booth. The story is by Charles Whittaker, It was directed by Eduard Jose. There will be daily afternoon and evening IT. U.

Home Wedding Planned For Mis? Fleischmann Miss Louisa Fleischmann, daughter of Mrs. Maximilian Fleischmann, will bo married to Alfred Barmore Maclny, of this city, at noon to-day at the home of her mother, 32 East Sixty-fourth Street. Only relative? will be present at the ceremony, which will be performed by the Rev. Dr. Wilton Merle-Smith, the Central Presbyterian Church.

Jumes Fox will serve as best man. TWE THEODORE "By far the most readable and interest- T1 ing book of the late Spring output." Broun, N. Y. Tribune. 0 Plays and Players Lynne Overman, who plays Charley Carter, in "Come-On Charley," sings while he is "making up." His song goes like this: K-k-k-P; beautiful K-kt-k-P You're the dear litti? chore I adore, And when the m-m-m-moon shines, Over the g-g-guard house I'll be scrubbing up the k-k-k-kitchen floor.

Ernest Trucx, the comedian in "Please Get Married" at the Fulton Theatre, might bo called the "champion c'atch'-as-catchwcan bridegroom of the American stage." Several seasons ago Mr. Truex created the part of a young and bashful bridegroom in "Over Night" and ever since managers have been able to see nothing for him but bridegroom roles. Last year Mr. Truex grew a little mustache, but Oliver Morosco grabbed him and he has been Edith Taliaferro's bashful young stage husband for 110 perfor? mances. Henry Hull has suggested to the Stage Women's War Relief "Jumble Inn," at 36 West Forty-seventh Street, that, instead of sending admirers hia photograph when requested, he will send it to the "Jumble Inn" and notify the admirer where he can purchase it.

Mr. Hull believes that if other players follow his example the Stage Women's War Relief will have a profitable new source of income. Booth Tarkington's "The Honorable Julius Caesar" will be presented by the Princeton Triangle Cfub at the Wal? dorf-Astoria Saturday evening. Ann Pennington, George Bickel, Ed Lee Wrothe, Mabel Withee and Yvette Rugel soon will be seen in George White's "Scandals of 1919" at the Lib? erty. "Toby's Bow" will reach its 100th performance to-night.

Marilynri Miller has come from Bos? ton to sign up with Flo Ziegfeld, for the 1919 edition of his summer revue. The 250th local performance of "Some Time," with Ed Wynn, will be held at the Casino Theatre to-night.

The Stuyvesant Players will present "When Old New York Was Young," by Lester Margon, Friday evening. To-night will be Lambs Club night. a' "Tires of Faith," the Salvation Army picture at the Harris Theatre.

Orthodox Rabbis Vote to Support Zionist Mizrache Action Is Recognized as For? ward Step in Their Tradi? tions; Move Based on Restoration of Palestine Following a debase continuing sev? eral hours, the Union of Orthodox Rabbis voted last night definitely to align themselves with Zionist movement by agreeing to cooperate with the Mizrache, the orthodox re? ligious branch of the Zionist party.

The union closed its second day's session yesterday at the Broadway Central Hotel. This action of the rabbis, who repre? sent the orthodox Jewry of the Unit? ed States and Canada, is recognized as a forward step in traditional Juda? ism. The union ha3 consistently been opposed to favoring as a unit the Zionist movement. Realizing that the war has brought Palestine to them as a possible future homeland, they in? dicated by their action yesterday that they have adjusted a great religious principle to present conditions. Pledge to Aid Fund By voting to cooperate with the Miz? rache, the union pledges itself to aid in all the activities, especially in the Mizrache Palestine fund.

The debate at yesterday's sessions was largely a matter of individual sentiment which finally resolved itself into a question as to the practical ac? ceptance of the Mizrache work. One sido argued for the appointment' of a committee of investication which should report back to the union. The others asked for an immediate vote of acceptance, and their wish was carried following an impassioned plea by Rabbi Meyer Berlin, of this city, president of the American Mizrache. "If you want to have a real Jewish Palestine," Rabbi Berlin declared, "support us, even if you don't agree with minor points." The speaker declared that not only was the Mizrache maintaining or? thodox religious schools, but was sup? porting the orthodox Jews and keeping alive the spirit of Jewry among the young people, who were becoming farmers. To Print More Talmudic The war has destroyed many of printing places in Russia where the Talmudic books were published, and for the past year they have been set up in Montreal.

The union yesterday ap proved of the work of its committee and decided to broaden the scope of the Talmudic literature. It also was de? cided to begin a campaign within the next few weeks for the support of thin printing programme, Officers will be elected at the closing session to-day. All of the business is i ed on in Yiddish and Hebrew, and strict observance is paid to the regular daily religious customs. Before the night session begins the meeting hall is transformed into a-place of worship and vespers are held. LEADING THEATRES AND SUCCESSES EMPIRE NEW AMSTERDAM WILLIAM I DEAR MATS.

He referred to the plank- i patching operations that have been going on along the auto and wagon ways since the bridge was built.

This eternal patchwork, he said. causes two and three-minute delays several times a day to hundreds of trolley cars. The city, which he said received five cents every time a car i passes over the bridge, loses a consid-? sum daily through this loss of time, while half a million people, in- eluding wagon drivers, autoiats and trolley riders who must travel this way, are developing, he believes, into an army of grouches.
