AMERICAN OPERA 10 OPEN TONIGHT Bizet’s “Carmen” to Start Engagement of Three Per- formances Here. The essentially national group of young American singers know as the American Opera Co.. will open their engagement of three performances in Washington tonight at 8:15 o'clock, at Keith's Taeater, with Bizet’s “Carmen,” sung, as they sing all their operas, “in the language of the audience.” The director and organizer of the company is Viadimir Rosing, the Russian. It should be of interest to man Washington, especially former se: men in the War Department, to know that both Patrick Killikelly, the tenor who sings the hero's role of Don Jose tonight, and George Fleming Houston, baritone-bass, who will sing Escamillo, the role of the toreador in “Carmen:” were in service together in the French Ambulance Corps before the United | States got into the World War and later, | Mr. Killikelly served in_ the 23d Regi- | ment of United States Infantry in the famous 1st Division. He has mnn,vl former war pals in Washington who are interested in his coming appearance as a star in tonight’s production. Mr. Killikelly was fighting in the trenches in France when he was only 15; at 17 he was a decorated veteran of the war with the coveted “Croix de Guerre.” Now, at 26, he is a leading tenor of the American Opera Co. Ac- cording to the War Department, Mr. Killikelly was the youngest soldier in the | entire American Expeditionary Forces, having enlisted in the Regular Army at the age of 15. He is the son of a re-| tired major and was born at Fort | asked for some person who did not live Scriven, Ga. : The young American girl who will sing Carmen is Bettina Hall, sister to Natalie Hall, who was heard here last year in the leading role in “Faust.” “This will be Bettina’s initial appearance | in Washington.

By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, November 19.—The slay- ing of a 16-year-old boy in a soft drink parlor has prompted a a widespread investigation of resorts whieh, it is charged, cater to school children and contribute to youthful delinquency. ‘The death of William Adomaytis yes- terday was an immediate cause of the inquiry. He was shot to death in the store of Anthony Juskus. Police said Juskus confessed to the shooting. Juskus told police the boy had ac- cused him of cheating at dice. Ado- maytis, he said, was intoxicated, and had provoked a quarrel, causing him to shoot “in self-defense.” Juskus’ store is near the Armour BOSTON, November 19.—Dr. James M. Doran, United States commissioner of prohibition, speaking at yesterday's session of the mnational Women's Christian Temperance Union conven- tion here, said the Canadian system of government control of the liquor traffic had proven unsuccessful. “Canada is distributing alcoholic beverages freely and all of Canada shows the effects that one would ex- pect would follow the wide distribution of alcoholic liquor,” Dr. Doran said. “Canada has an increase of arrests, an increase of accidents, an increase of poverty. “It is absolutely impossible to deal with alcohol on any other basis than complete prohibition of the traffic; our Government deals with the problem in the only logical and consistent manner.” He said that Great Britain, because of its home consumption of alcohol, is suffering from a severe economic situation. “I saw more drunkenness and evi- dences of drink in four days in London than I have seen in America in the last eight years,” he said. “Remember that in England they have the ‘old public house’ still running, open to the public, sawdust on the floor and its long lines of drinking men and women. They are bleary-eyed and have that look on their faces that almost shakes one's soul. Any one who takes one square [look at London will no longer be an apologist for conditions in this country. And to say that conditions under pro- | hibition are worse in this country than prior to prohibition is perfect nonsense.” Dr. Doran described Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt, Assistant United States Attorney General, as “one of the most wonderful women who ever lived.” He emphasized the need for co-opera- tion of city and town police with the Federal authorities. “Up to a short time ago,” he said. “we in the prohibtion unit were being held up as responsible for the bad con- ditions in Philadelphia, but a vigorous State’s attorney disclosed the rotten civic condition. The local politicians, vice and liquor ring and conditions there are better. It is the local police conditions in many of our large cities that is responsible for bad conditions and that is what has to be broken up. The United States Government will help break up these collusive conditions by means of the statutes against con- spiracy, but we must and, I believe, we will have a rebirth of a sense of local clvic responsibility to clear the entire country of evil conditions.” ROOSEVELTS OBTAIN DATA IN LONDON FOR ASIAN TRIP Chicago Museum Party to Embark November 23 at Marseille for Six-Month Exploration. By the Associated Press. LONDON, November 19.—Theodore Roosevelt, his brother Kermit and Suydam Cutting of New York. are busy in London consulting scientists and ex- perts of the South Kensington Museum for information on the great unmapped Pamirs district of Southeastern Asia, which they will shortly explore under the auspices of the Field Museum of Chicago. “It is impossible to say how long the trip will take, but it will be a minimum g! six months,” Col.
