PEARANCE HERE LAST
IN U. S. OF PAUL SWAN
'J Remain for "The Opium Pipe"
Before Filling London Thea
trical Engagement.
.tul Swan, "the most beautiful man
(he world," who is to be the par
ularly striking attraction at "The
' I'iiim Pipe" performance in this coun-j
: ? y at that performance, will make his
rust appearance in this country at that
! t ; formance. He received cabled in
ructions today to report at once in
: .ondon, where he is to appear at the
Ambassadors' Theater. He notified Mrs.
'"hristlan Herrfmick, author and pro
ducer of "The Opium Pipe," today, that
lit- is remaining over only so as not to
fiisappolnt her for the Monday per-j
formanoe here for the benefit of thei
i-'rench ambulance motor fund, of which j
Mrs. George Cabot Lodge is chairman. I
Paul Swan is to have a bodyguard
of twenty of the most beautiful young
v omen in the capital, while in Wash
ington. This was decided today by
Mrs. Hemmick. This bodyguard of
"l?eauties" will appear on the stage with
Paul Swan when he does his sensational
; ???! startling dances.
Rehearsals Are Proceeding.
I'ians and rehearsals for the presen
ts t.ion of this artistic production are
going on encouragingly under the per
sonal direction of Mrs. Hemmick, who
is daily adding some new feature. All
of the daring dances, unique songs,
gorgeous costumes and esthetic ta
bleaux are being woven into a spectacle
of splendor such as was found only In
the ancient courts of pleasure.
The spectacle is to be given at the
Helasco Theater Monday evening for
the benefit of-the French ambulance
motor fund, under the chairmanship of
Mrs. George Cabot Lodge, who has
chosen as her patronesses Miss Mabel
T. Boardman, executive director of the.
American R?.d ?'ross; Mrs. Charles Mc
Cawley. Mrs. Horace Wiley. Miss Emily
Tuckerman. the Misses Patten. Mrs.
William Littauer. Miss Ernest, Mrs.
Harrison McClintock. Mrs. Harriet
Blaine Beale, Mrs. Lawrence Townsend,
? Irs. John Boit and Mrs. Edward
"itchelL
Mrs. Hemmick Enthusiastic.
Irs. Hemmick is enthusiastic over
the talent of Paul Swan as a dancer?a
"poet in action"?as a painter and
sculptor.
"The Sphinx," one of the picturesque
features of the rewritten play, is posed
by Miss Marguerite Neale, whoso en
tire costume is an exact copy of one
found illustrated on a tomb of the
Pharaohs. The necklace she wears
came out of one of these tombs and
each of her dozen large rings has a
historic value.
"The Dance of the Opium Pipe" as
conceived and executed by Miss Ruth
Anderson and Miss Helen Buchanan
will be much more spectacular in the
performance Monday night than in the
earlier presentation. Miss Consuela
Hawkes, whose bubble dance with Miss
Lydia Millman of the Russian ballet.
New York, won such emphatic ap
plause. has developed several interest
ing new steps and poses, so that her
dance is to be given more prominence
in the new play.
An Added Attraction.
An added attraction in the harem
scene that will be of particular inter
est to many Washingtonians will be
the song. "Where My Caravan Rested,"
by Mrs. A. Julian Brylawski, in a
Turkish costume.
As the fruit bearer Miss Margaret
Britton's part has been rearranged and
enlarged to give her greater oppor
tunity for striking poses. Special at
tention has been given to her new
costume, which will be one of the most
elaborately adorned in the entire pro
duction.
WOULD AFFECT T. S. COTTON.
Appeal to Be Made Against Embargo
Proposed in Egypt.
Because cotton spinners of the United
States would be seriously affected by
an embargo on cotton exports from
Egypt, such as has been requested of
the Egyptian government by Great
Britain, representations on their behalf
by the American government are ex
pected. This is to be done with a
view to bringing about an arrange
ment similar to that permitting the
export of wool from Great Britain and
her possessions to the United States
since the British embargo on that ma
terial went into effect.
American spinners import a consid
erable quantity of Egyptian cotton,
which is of superior quality and essen
tial in the manufacture of certain
classes of goods. During the eight
months ending March 31 the amount
imported was 66,895,000 pounds, valued
at approximately $10,500,000.
Alice, the six-year-old daughter of
C. Lynn Wood of New Market, Md.,
was struck and almost instantly kill
ed by a touring car belonging to J. C.
Roulette of Hagerstown.

AMERICAN RED CROSS
RECEIVES $1D,000 GIFT
Largest Anonymous Contribution in
Its History?Manua Island
ers Appreciate Aid.
Ten thousand dollars, the largest
anonymous contribution ever received
by the American National Red Cross,
has just been deposited with the Girard
Trust Company of Philadelphia. This
was given, according to a statement
made at Red Cross headquarters to
day, for use "on the field of action in
the European war wherever the Red
Cross Society may find the need most
urgent, and without regard to the na
tionality of those who may benefit by
its aid."
A general idea of the havoc wrought
by the typhoon in the Manua Islands
of the Samoan group in February is
contained in a letter received at Red
Cross headquarters from Gov. J. M.
Poyer of American Samoa, expressing
appreciation of the American Red Cross
contribution. His letter, dated in Pago
Pago, March 26, says in part:
"The Secretary of the Navy has ad
vised me by radiogram that the Red
Cross Kociet v has made a contribution
of $2,000 for the relief of the people of
Manua Islands of American Samoa.
"1 desire, as governor, to express to
the society the very great apprecia
tion of the people of this colony for
this contribution.
About 2,lO0 Are Destitute.
"The inhabitants of the islands
which have been completely devas
tated by the recent hurricane number
2,100. They are about seventy miles
away, and are wholly dependent upon
us for carp and food supplies. Soon
after my arrival here the 1J. S. S.
Princeton left on a relief trip with
stores. I made the trip to make a per
sonal inspection of conditions.
"The contrast between the appearance
of this island with its dense, luxuriant
tropical growth, and the desolate, bare
appearance of the Manua Islands is im
pressive and pathetic.
"All houses had been totally de
stroyed. Cocoanut trees by the thou
sands were uprooted, and food plants
and practically all vegetation torn from
the ground and blown away. There
was so little left that there was not
enough to plant for a new crop, and
fresh plantings had to be sent from
this island.
"I am further advised by the Secre
tary that Congrrnss has made a-n ap
propriation of $10,000 for relief meas
ures. This will make available a total
of 512,000. It is estimated that it will
be about eight months before a new
crop of food products will mature, and
the people be again self-supporting. This
will allow us to expend an average of
about 2.4 cents per day per person. The
people of this island are contributing
generously of their own native food.
"From the brief statement of condi
tions you will understand how wel
come. and how much appreciated is the
contribution of the Red Cross Society." I
TRIBUTE TO DIVER CRILLY.
Rescue of Fellow-Worker in Subma
rine F-4 Operations Commended.
Secretary Daniels has received a mail
report from Rear Admiral Moore, con

on submarine F?4, which have been
published in cable dispatches.
Of particular interest is the tribute

rescuing Diver Loughman, who had
been sent down, but became fouled and

Crilly's feat, adding that he showed I
great self-possession and courage. j

tracted pneumonia, was reported as im
proving.
Admiral Moore expressed 111 hope,
that the submarine would eventually he '

PLUNGES TO HER DEATH.

and fell from a bridge near the home.
