DR. PURDY EXPLAINS GERMAN CONDITIONS TO ROTARY MEMBERS "There is nothing the German people, as a rule, fear more than Bolshev. isnr;" stated Dr. Alexander C. Purdy, of Earlham, speaking before the Rotary Club at the weekly luncheon at the Arlington Hotel Tuesday noon. "The task of the world is to get hold of the new sentiment which is growing up among the younger generation of Germans and lead it towards democracy," he stated as his conclusion. Dr. Purdy, who recently has return ed from Europe, where he spent five months in relief work, spoke on "Conditions in Central Europe." He endeavored to answer some questions that were asked. Conditions Deplorable. He stated that one might be led to believe that conditions were good if they took a short trip through the country, but that upon investigation It was found tfwrfthe plight of the people was pitiable in many places. Germany is not utterly broken as is Austria, he stated. The chief difficulty is food. People do not have enough to eat. Although German crops were good the past year only 55 per cent enough food was raised to feed Germany. German children look from two to three years older than they really are because of lack of nourishment. "If raw materials could be obtained Germany would rapidly return to a good economic basis. At the present time only about one out of every seven factories is operating," said Dr. Purdy. Two new members were elected to membership in the Rotary Club, Tuesday, Walter Doan, to represent the undertaker, and Guy Means, as automobile distributor. Julian S. Smith had his membership transferred from the club in Texas of which he was a member. Dr. J. J. Rae welcomed the new members with a short talk outlining the ideals of the club. 4 A committee of Rotarians will accompany the "Know Your Own City" trip Friday afternoon, which is to be conducted by Dell Davis, city engineer.

Soviet Confused. General Makno's flying raid on Kharkov, which resulted in the capture of that city, has contributed to the confusion of the soviet armies in Southern Russia, the position of which along the Dnieper river has become more critical. Insurgent bands are reported to be in the rear of the Bolsheviki and are said to have captured Vikolaiev, near Odessa. It is rumored cholera has appeared among soviet troops in Kharkov. Barefooted conscripts of the Bolsheviki army continue to surrender in large numbers without resistance, but the Bolsheviki regulars and student regiments continue their retreat.

AMERICA WILL PAY TRIBUTE TO JENNY UNO, ON OCTOBER 6 ' - - NEW YORK, Oct 6. America will pay tribute to Jenny Lind on Oct. 6, the 100th anniversary, of the birth of the Swedish- nightingale, whom P. T. Barnum brought to this country In 1850 on her spectacular concert tour of, nearly two years. The centennial is to be commemorated throughout the music-loving world. Ia Sweden, in England and in other countries where she sang, fitting plans are under way to honor the greatest singer of her time. Her admirers In New York City will celebrate the event in a unique way. They- will give a historical concert reproduce the first concert Jenny Lind gave In this country, bringing back the stage picture and atmosphere of that memorable night of September 11, 1850. The proceeds will be given to the same charitable institutions to which Jenny Lind gave the proceeds of the original concert. Copy of the Gown Frieda Hempel will appear In the role of her famous predecessor. She will wear an exact copy of the gown worn by the nineteenth century diva; will sing the same arias, and play her own accompaniements to the same group of songs on the same piano Jenny Lind played them a piano autographed by the Swedish Nightingale on the night of her debut. The centennial concert will - be given In Carnegie Hall on the evening of October 6. Castle Garden, the scene of Jenny Lind's first American triumph, has been transformed into the aquarium and thus is deprived of the honor of housing another memorable audience. It is contemplated to hold a centennial exhibit, however, In the old circular building in Battery Park from Oct. 1 to Oct. 10. Many of Jenny Lind's personal belongings and interesting relics associated with her tour here will be shown. The old concert grand piano will have its place of honor. On the afternoon of Oct 6 the park commissioners of New York City wUl present to the aquarium- a marble bust of Jenny Lind and a portrait of the famous singer, both made for her when she was in thl3 country. Other American cities where Jenny Lind sang are arranging to celebrate the day. Jenny Lind was born In Stockholm of humble parents. She sang from childhood, and famous teachers became interested in her. At 12 her voice entirely failed. Four years later it came back and her remarkable career began. Her first operatic role was Alice in Meyerbeer's "Robert le DIable." Having been acclaimed in her own country and in Norway, she carried her conquests to the continent and to England. She was probably the most talkedof person in public life in all Europe when Barnum, without having seen her, persuaded her to make a tour of the United States. No sooner was the contract signed than the new impresaria, according to his autobiography, "began to prepare the public mind for the reception of the great songstress." 40,000 at Landing The steamer Atlantic that brought her to this country was saluted at Sandy Hook and again as she plowed up the Narrows. Forty thousand people assembled at the landing and on the surrounding piers to prpet hr. Triumphal arches marked her pathway. Crowds surged around her hotel and clamored for her appearance. Auctions for the sale of tickets brought thousands of buyers. Genin, a hatter "a Mad Hatter" they called himpaid $225 for the first New Y'ork ticket. His unheard of extravagance made him famous. The highest price paid for a single ticket. was in Providence, where the bit of pasteboard was knocked down to Colonel Ross for $650. The Nightingale gave about 135 concerts in this country more than 35 in New Y'ork City. Everywhere audiences fought to gain entrance to the concert halls. Everywhere they stormed her with applause, and everywhere admirers and charity seekers besieged her. Extra concerts had to be given to satisfy the throngs i and Jenny Lind herself added more extra concerts for charity. month
