ELLEN TERRY, AGED 67, OPERATED ON FOR CATARACTS OF EYES New York, Feb. 25 her sixty-seventh birthday Ellen Terry, the famous English actress, underwent an operation for the removal of cataracts at the New York Eye and ' Ear infirmary. ‘The period required for gecovery from such an operation is from two to three weeks. It is believed that the trouble .has been removed and that it will no longer interfere with Miss Terry's work on the stage-and lecture platform. Interest in the opdration on the best known of English ac- tresses was heightened because it was performed only a day after the oper- ation by which Mme. Bernhardt lost her right leg. Miss Terry, who stopped in this country to give a few lectures on her way to Australia to her English home, has been troubled with the cataracts for some time. She announced in Philadelphia two weeks ago that She was to have the -opera- tion performed, adding, ‘It doesn’t hurt, but it will keep me in -America for a month, while my daughter is on Waterloo bridge watching for the/ Germans.” Her only worry, she said at that time, was the interruption of her knitting for the soldiers, a work in which she had heen constantly en- gaged. Miss Terry’s first appearance on the stage was on April 28. 1850, as boy, Mamillius, in “The Winter's Tale,” under the- management of Sharles Kean. Her completion of fifty years on the English stage was celebrated with a jubilee matinee at Drury Lane theater, Londen, on June 12, 1906, at which Mme. Duse, Sig- nor Caruso and M. Coquelin - were present to honor the actress, who was the stage partner of Sir Henry Irving for so many years. On the eve of tic struggle which is devastating all Europe.

Nations ee Red.” “Today, -when nations with unreasoning passion, when them, when they ‘see red,” when they misjudge their friends as well as their foes, is the time for us to avoid harsh judgement to preserve calmness in dealing with them and to curb the natural resent- ment which arises when our acts arc misinterpreted and we ar echarged with wrong motives and purposes.’” “American citizens,” he concluded, “could not be too thankful that they had a president, whom we can trust are swayed s to deal with the momentous and dif- ficult problems of the hour with w dom, justice and patience, having equal regard for all and favor toward none, uninfluenced by popular clamor unswering in his determination to maintain the rict neutrality which this government has preserved throughout the war.” N Native eggs, 33¢ doz., 3 1-6 doz, for $1.00.

LITTLE HOPE TO PASS SHIP PURCHASE BILL At Present Session of Congress Admit Administration Scnators.—Ap- propriation Bills Rushed. ‘Washington, ITeb. —With six working days remaining present session of congress, of enacting any legislation aside from the appropriation bills before ad- journment was regarded by senate demceratic leaders today as slim. While reports continued today of a revival of attempts to put through the government ship purchase bill in accordance with the wish of Presi- dent Wilson, administration senators admitted there was little hope of doing so because of republican op- position to the measure. Prospects of passing the river and harbor bill in its present form also is anything but bright, and it is expected that a joint resolution will be substituted for it appropirating about $30,000,000 for continuing existing projects. An indication of the intention of administration leaders to “speed up” work on the appropriation bills is seen in the fact that the senate after pass- ing the post office appropriation bill vesterday worked far into the night on the agricultural appropriation bill, carryving about $23,000,000, Except for a few disputed items—including an appropriation of $400,000 for dis- tribution of seeds which was stricken out by a senate committee—consider- ation of the measure has been coms pleted. Senator Martine was to fight for restoration of the provision. SECOND FIVE PER CENT. GERMAN LOAN only of the prospects s Issued by Imperial Government to Open For Subscriptions From Febtuary 27 to March 19. Berlin, IFeb. 24, via London, m.—The imperial government has decided to issue a second five cent war loan. This will be open for subscriptions from February 27 to March 19, and will take the form of five per cent. imperial bonds and five per cent. exchequer bonds. Interest will run from July 1. The exchequer bonds will be redeemable by draw- ing and the imperial bonds will not be redeemable until October 1, 1924. The loan will be issued at 98.50, and the amount of the subscriptions will be unlimited. The issue price of the new loan was fixed at a higher rate than that of the September loan which was 97.50, as the government was en- couraged by the fact that the loan now stands at par. The present issue will be floated in time to meet the first instalment on the April coupon payments. Pay- ments on the loan will h(\' distributed over a number of dates' extending into the summer. The prospects {or a successful subscription are regarded as good. p. Russell -Bros. Best Coffee 32c. : —advt. OFFICER MISSING. Books of Licutenant Weggenmann to Be Investigated.

There have been rumors of set- tlement between Miss Ryan and Manstield, but counsel set these at rest vesterday. a Registration Scandal at Ferncroft. Middleton, Feb. 25.—The charge that twent: ix men have bheen illeg- ally registered in this town from the now famous Ferncroft Inn, for the town election to be held next Mon- day, was sprung upon the board of registrars here last night. In a formal communication to the board, Albert . Henderson, as a citi- 'n of the town, mak the declara- tion that a portion of the seventy men registered from the inn are not only unqualified as voters in the town, but many are already also registered to vote in other cities and towns. Two are alleged to be registered in Bos- ton. Irom No License Forces. The announcement of the charges created excitement here when it be- came generally known. Last night was the last moment in which charges af- fecting the coming election could be filed After 12, midnight, such ac- tion, regardle of the legality of the votes, it is said, could not be of any avail in the coming town election. A second surprise was forthcoming when it became known that Hender- son represented a committee of citi- zens of the town acting in conjunction with» the Ma chusetts Anti-Saloon jeague, and his allegations followed an investigation which has covered practically a year. 107 to 102 Last Year. The highest registered vote in Mid- dleton was last yvear when 266 names were on the voting list. Of these 218 voted. The vote on the license ques- tion, which is fighting issue in the town, was 107 for license and 102 for no-license. In 1913, the vote on li- cense was 109 for, 92 against. The committee members declare that since the Ferncroft Inn has been in the town the vote on the license questton has varied on the majority for license, from two to nineteen votes. The large registration from the Ferncroft said to have attracted the attention of the committee and Anti-Saloon League. Hunted Up the Seventy. So this vear, when, it is said, seven- ty men were registered from Locust street, upon which Ferncroft Inn is located, an investigation was consid- ered worth while, Attorney Henry H. Bond, with of- fices in the Tremont bujlding, Boston, was retained as counsel. Under his direction detectives were employed to look up the residenc of the men at Ferncroft. The result, it is said, is the expose last night, which, it is expect- ed will cause a furore and make con- siderable difference in the vote on the license question Monday. INJURED HOPPING FREIGHT.

Since mobilization was completed the number of factories open has in- creased 43 per cent. and the number of workers 83 per cent. Many es- tablishments which were running only two or three days a week in August now are operating normally and some of them even on an overtime basis. The plants which are most active are those producing articles needed for carrying on the war. ‘Workers in the textile, leather and metal trades have more than doubled, while those making clothing have in- creased 80 per cent. and chemicals 75 per cent. Increased activity also is shown in the pottery, glassware, transportation and woodwork Indus- tries. Reports of officials are said to show that the #ituation is steadi- ly improving.
