NEW YORK, Nov. 1.—It isn't often a man has his family increased with ten children in a single day, but that Is what happened to John McCormack, the singer.
He has adopted ten U-boat orphans. From a lurking place on the coast of Selgium a German sea-terror crept out In the mists of. the evening and struck a terrible blow at the kin of the Irish tenor. fc Five little boysand five girls of tender age—the youngest a babe scarce out of arms, and the oldest not yet sixteen—have been left fatherless and motherless and, except for the generosity of the singer, they would have ibeen thrown on the mercy of the world.
They are the nephews and nieces •f Mr. and Mrs. McCormack, the children of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Foley, Of Dublin, who lost their lives when the Dublin mail boat, Leinster, was sunk last week In the Irish channel by one of Von Tirpritz's sea sharks ^rhen on the way from Dublin to Holyhead, with a resultant death list •f 480 persons.
Mrs. Foley was the sister of Mrs. McCormack, who was Miss Lily Foley, a beautiful Dublin girl. Miss Lily Was a member of the Irish Village at the St. Louis Exposition when she JMarried the tenor.
Ar.d so Cyril and Gwen, the pretty little McCormack children, are to have five brothers and Are sisters as soon as the details can be attended to.
The news of -the gad blow to relatives of the McCormack family came when they were at dinner Thursday evening in their summer home, Tokelieke Park, Collenders' Point, about two and a half miles from Noroton, Conn. They knew nothing about the tragedy until & messenger boy brought a cablegram, which read: "Tom and Charlotte were drowned on the Leinster. Bodies not recovered.*

Dublin. Mrs. McCormack was so overcome that she has been ill in bed ever since, but the singer's first thoughts were of the children, whom he had last seen happy and rollicking in Dublin just before outbreak of the war in 1914. "We must do something for the kiddies, Lilly," he said to his wits. "They must be looked after."
So he immediately sat down and cabled to the eldest in Dublin not to worry that he would care for them as long as he lived. Then he wrote them a letter. "I'll be your father," he said. 1 can't give you the love of your own father, but all I have is yours."
Whether he will bring the youngsters to America, Mr. McCormack has not decided, but he does not think so, as they have two aunts and a grandmother in Dublin. But this is what he intends doing for them, he told a reporter for the Evening World today:
Pay for the maintenance of the ten. Send the youngest to kindergartens. Educate them at private schools. See that, the girls, have finishing courses.
Make a place in the world assured for all. AH of the singer's concert engagements have been called off by the influenza epidemic, he said today, but he would have called them oft anyway. "I have no song In me just now,'* he said.
The singer Is staying at his summer home near Noroton, a beautiful estate of eight acres fronting on Long Island Soun®, but withal there is scarcely enough room for ten more tousled youngsters. The house, an old hollow tile colonial structure,- is set in the midst of a wooded knoll flanked by tennis courts and drives winding to the Connecticut road. "Mr. McCormack is walking across country and Mrs. McCormack is ill in bed." a butler announced when a reporter called.
Outside a motor purred at the door and a snappy Pekinese resented the intrusion. From a three-wheel coach on the porch a doll hung limp and lonesome—the children were away.
Across country the reporter started and overtook the singer and his valet striding up a road. But it was a different John McCormack from he of

the concert stage. Not the immaculate and debonair minstrel, but a rugged athlete, dressed in tweed knickerbockers, sweater and slouch hat, with hard lines in his face.
Shocked at Atrocity.
"Mr. McCormack—about the Foley children" "Don't speak of it/* he said, wheeling with clenched fist "It's the most damnable thing that has happened since the Lusitania."
The singer was genuinely agitated and strode up and down the road several times before he became calm. Then he said: "I hope this outrage will wake up some of those Sinn Feiners in Dublin. I hope it will teach those Irish agitators we are not fighting the English, but a monster that they have simply got to help crush."
The singer kicked at a stone viciously and then continued: "This is a terrible thing, and has brought the- war right home to my own bedroom. It came right out of a clear sky. We were eating dinner, contented and happy, when the telegram arrived. Just think of those poor souls. They had not been to London since they went on their honeymoon, and the second time they tried to go they went—to death. "They had received word that Chris. Barrett, a sergeant in the British army, and Mrs. Foley's only brother, Who had been wounded in France, was dying in a London hospital. They took the first boat out, which happened to be the Leinster. Chris, died1 a few hours after she was torpedoed. "Isn't it terrible. Just think of those two on an errand of mercy, and those cowardly curs waiting outside to kill them without giving them a chance. And think of those 10 little ones, made orphans in a night. I don't know what the Irish over there can be thinking of to stand back when outrages like this are going on. "They should know that this Is not an English war," he repeated. "It's a holy war. a war of humanity against beasts, against savages. I wish I could do something, but all I can do is to look after the children. "I don't know when I have had anything to affect me so. Mrs. McCormack is so ill she can't get out of bed."
Plans for the Children.
"What are you going to do
for
the
children?" "Everything I can. I will See that they suffer for nothing in a monetary way. I am going to take care of them and see that they have the best education. I would like to bring them here, but I wouldn't put their lives in Jeopardy." "What about peace while this kind of warfare is going on?" "Peace! Don't talk peace to me," replied the singer as his eyes took on a hard gleam and he started kicking savagely at the road again. "Not the kind of peace they want, anyway. The only peace I want is a peace brought about by crushing them so they will have to accept what we will give them. "But," and the tenor became milder, "I think they are going to get what Is coming to them. There is a little man with a big brain down in Washington who can handle that crowd. I am a great admirer of Mr. Wilson. I worship at his shrine. I am satisfied to leave it all to him—that is all 1 want to say."
The singer pulled up his sweater and started up the hill. He had just finished a five-mile walk and was due for a round of golf.
WHEN THE WAR ENDS.
Roughly, on the present state of facts, it looks as though, when the war is ended, we shall have a very large stock of gold, there will be owing to us at least ten billion dollars, we shall own an adequate fleet of cargo-carry-ing ships, and we shall have none of the economic exhaustion of France, or the reconstruction problems of England. We shall have the absorbing reconstruction problems of our own, but they are apt to be social, and we can approach them with economic strength. Outside of our social adjustments, our largest question will be finding employment for the additions to our industrial capacity, jve shall then be wholly a manufacturing nation, having completed the transition from our former provincial state aside from cotton, we shall probably have little raw material for export. We shall require enlarged markets for our products. How much additional market will be required, we do not know, because we have, as yet, little notion of how

We cannot compare our present production in dollars with our former production, because money at present offers^o standard of comparison. Probably our production has not increased so much in actual volume as the dollar figures might lead one to imagine. However, we vitally needed exports before the war and certainly we shall need them no less after peace.

Then, in order to use her new-found productive power, she reached out into the world in a way that she had never known before. I have not the slightest doubt that we, too, can reach out, if only we can sanely and boldly take advantage of our opportunities in reconstruction—George Ed Smith, in Leslie's.

The number of crimes of all kinds reported in Stockholm during the first six months of the present year was 12,200, as compared with 6,600 for the same period of 1917. The chicf increase was due to thefts, of which thefts of eatables and drinkables formed a large part.
