Paris, March 3.-(Havas Agency.)- The question ,of the left bank -of the Rhine will figure in the preliminary peace treaty according to the Paris editiol of the London Daily Mail, and in certain quarters, it adds, there is serious consideration of the formation of an independent German republic on the left bank of the Rhine. The Allies, it is said, would con- tinue to hold the present Rhine bridgeheads until Germany completed her indemnity payments. In discussing the indemnity reg- ulations as fixed by the peace con- ference committee on reparations the * newspaper says Germany will have to pay a certain sum before the end of 1919 and the balance during a period of from 20 to 30 years. The Allied powers will decide on measures to suptply Germany with raw material and the manner in which commercial relations will be resumed. All these questions, the Daily Mail continues, will be settled at one ses- sion of the supreme council after the return of Pre:dcnt Vilson.

LATE WIRE NEWS There were those who had given1 up all hope of attending the J-hop. There were those who had more hope, and Smuck was buying, for a sum payable in advance, clothing for the next five years. There were those whose hopes were very high, and pawn shops were do- ing a remarkable business in watch- es, cigarette cases, and fraternity pins. Still the J-hop seemed as far off as ever. But Uncle Sam has taken a hand. He has seen to it that every student will be able to attend the J-hop. He has said that every man honorably discharged from the United Statesj army will be given $60. And now hope runs high. Even those who had no intention of going to the big party are -thinking seri- ously that perhaps it would not be a bad idea to look in. But the army takes its own time about doing things, and the hop is only a month away. And that is why about $60 will buy a perfectly good mortgage on the future. Uncle Sam's word is good, and the J-hop only comes once a year. ,- Washington, March 3.-Pres-1 ident Wilson tonight signed the Victory Loan bill authorizing the treasury to issue $7,000,000,- 000 in short term notes, and providing $1,000,000,000 for the use of the War Finance corpora- ation in stimulating the coun- try's foreign commerce.

Principals Capture Audience Three types of personality radiat- ed from the platform enrapturing those in the audience. Caruso was emotionally dramatic, yet jovial and democratic; Nina Morgana won all hearts the moment she appeared by her sweet, charming, and engaging maner, unassuming and quiet, gain- ing confidence and friends immedi- ately, Elias Breeskin did not display .any of the eccentricities common to most virtusoi. Caruso is the model of the present generation in the field of singing. He represents the top notch of the art. His facial expressions in his operatic arias showed the concentration of the man upon his work. He gave of him- self completely in these numbers. Breeskin Wins Audience Elias Breeskin is a serious, litter- pretative violinist. He playsawithout affectation, with a clearness and ease of execution that shows magnificent technical equipment. It is Impossi- ble to find a doubtful overtone or har- monic in his playing. Some of his legato passages, especially In Sara- sate's "Gypsy Airs" were so subtly and beautifully modulated that it was impossible to detect just when they ceased. Kreisler is a favorite com- poser of Breeskin as most of his en- cores showed. Nina Morgana Sings "Dinorah" Nina Morgana has all the virtues of youth, an abundant supply of emo- tion and a freshness of spirit that is entrancing. In the Shadow Dance from Meyerbeer's "Dinorah" the in- tricate stacatto passages were sung with a clean-cut pureness of tone. Her voice is unusual in that it has so much body and depth in the lower tones. National Air Closing Number Caruso's powerful voice rather ob- literated Miss Morganas in the joint rendering of the "Star SpangledBan- ner" which closed the program, send- ing the audience home with a sense of overwhelming wonder. A material contribution to the even- ing's triumph was the masterly, sym- pathetic, and highly intelligent aceom- panying of Salvatore Fucito and Isaac Van Grove. Leave for New York For the first time in its history the 1:30 Wolverine made a special stop at Ann Arbor to take Caruso and his party to New York, where he will sing "Le Prophete" and the "Star Span- gled Banner" at a special reception for the return of President Wilson from the Peace Conference in Europe.
