EUROPEAN POWERS SEVER RELATIDHS Russia and France, Paris Re- ' port Says, Withdraw Ambassadors.

(National News Association) PARIS, May 17. Diplomatic relations between Russia and France have been broken off. Premier Kokolsoff of Russia has demanded the recall of M. Georges Louis, French ambassador to St. Petersburg. It is likely that France will take similar action in reference to Ambassador Gen. Saranoff, the Russian envoy here. The situation is decidedly acute and the relations of the two countries greatly strained. According to a statement published by the Echo today the crisis was caused by the failure of M. Louis to make sufficiently clear to the French government Russia's proposals regarding mediation in the Turko-Italian war and

maintenance of the political entente j

cordiale in the far east. Efforts are being made today to have Russia withdraw her demand for M. Louis' recall

BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. An interesting phase of the "race problem," as it is termed, was manifested in this city an evening or two ago. What would you do if you were blind? With a knowledge of the moving picture of life up to a certain time when the curtain was rung down and all was suddenly blotted out? "Go crazy," you would possibly say. Still it is a curious fact that most blind persons are cheerful. Moroseness is, paradoxically, not the accompaniment of blindness but of the deaf. Look about you and you will see this illustrated vividly. Although contrasts, comparisons, are few, as the deaf predominate. Persons totally blind are rarely seen since they almost always are sent to institutions where their practical education is undertaken..

But, in the large, you will find it is the .person with the bad eyes, not the bad ears, who is inclined to take an optimistic view of things. - But just suppose you were stricken with blindness after knowing what it was daily to see all the beauty and glory of the world. For there is beauty and glory. Close your eyes some lovely spring day, press your lingers against them and shut out the light and color. Open them and you will see! Nothing is more exquisite than the wonder of the out-of-doors after the

'durance of a sick-room or a dim house,

Nothing more welcome than the sun after the cloud. Think of having this shut out forever! Imagine eternal night. Everlasting blackness. Unrelieved dark. Fancy the days and nights the same in tone. The uninterrupted procession of neutral-tinted weeks and months and years. The lack of contrast. The paucity of vivacity attendant upon the sense of Bight. Constant groping in the gloom. And, at that, you cannot penetrate the veil. Or have any possible concep-

tion of the psychology of the cheer of the blind. . In Miss Mary Fitzhugh, the blind musician, who gave a recital here on last Wednesday evening, society, in the large, has a heroic spectacle. With the handicap of the lack of sight, and with that of her race in this country, she still triumphs over every seemingly unbreakable fetter. Here is a young woman blind and black. And yet who is making her own livelihood through the exploitation of her accomplishments acquired by a laborious medium of communication the "raised letter" system. In a short account of her own history given at the time of the recital, Miss Fitzhugh gave a detailed account of the way she pursued her musical studies, reading and copying music through the fingers, thus enabling her

to use one hand at a time on the"piano the period for learning a composition

being doubled, since one hand must

be used for reading and the other for action.

Miss Fitzhugh does not sing or play 'by ear." She is a trained musician and has a

technical knowledge of music. This being evident in her correct and accurate tone placement, phrasing and musicianly interpretation.

And all this has been learned

through the tedious method of communication through the fingers.

In addition to her general and musi

cal education this young woman took a course of instruction in what is sometimes called in lieu of a more

comprehensive term elocution, and

having much natural dramatic endow

ment, has adopted this to her genuine talents so that her readings have much theatrical value. But her chiefest significance, from

the standpoint of the lamous race question, is her ability to adapt herself to her environ. In other words she is an exponent of that culture which is the possession of no race, but universal and for whoever strives for its acquisition. Miss Fitzhugh has a personality of

her own. She is individual. But she is

more than that a cultured, well-bred.

well-groomed woman. A representative of all that education supplemented by ambition may do and a superlative instance of what

it will do for one physically handicap

ped. Without a brave and courageous spirit this would not have been attained. But a brave spirit may be cultivated as well as talents exploited. And this remarkable woman has overcome such obstacles as stand In the path of very few. Her simple narration of her achievements made an appeal straight to the heart. It was at once pathetic and heroic. In Miss Fitzhugh society has a very fine heroine and one whose example should be superlative. And it makes the average normal, healthy individual ashamed of 'every ignoble thought or feeling, of every retreat before discouragement, of evcapitulation before seeming defefl. The fact that she travels alone .because she cannot afford at present to take an accompanist with her, and trusts to the public to see that she gets safely to her various destinations, is one of those simplicities oX character which meets with instant response. She asks nothing but receives much. This entertainment, in addition to Miss Fitzhugh's appearance, was a showing of what the race is attempting and is doing for itself here in Richmond. It was arranged by the Women's Sewing Society of the church. And on its program was included a talk on "Race Progression" by a representative negro of the city which was filled with statistics of the colored people's industrial and educational progress since brought to this country several hundred years ago with the

intermediate civic obscurity of sla- J

very. Another short address on the scope, aims and accomplishments of the great Tuskegee Institute and the place of Booker T. Washington in the social scheme-'social" used in its larger sense ss made by a feminine representative of the race, its value lying not only in its information but in the spirit in which the speaker Imparted the latter to the audience.

The whole breathed the spirit of earnest desire and ambition to pull

the race out of the apathetic rut into which it sometimes falls and to marshall the facts of its enormous industrial accomplishment since the war.

of its onward ntarch toward civic recognition, of the value of sanity in business and of restraint in deportment and the advantages attendant upon education and culture. The community applauds all such manifestations of progress from any part of its citizenship and is Interested in lending a hand to its forwarding. '
