The program was entirely of Sla- vonic song: It was selected and tendered by Miss Grace L. Baum-—— with Otto H. Hipp at the piano. The | songs were representative of the most important of the Russian composers. Miss Baum and Mr. Hipp were re- ceived with great cordiality by their friends—and their recital gave much pleasure. It was another interesting feature in the list of musical events which the committee of the depart- ment has arranged in connection with the study of the Slavonic race, is the subject of the Woman' for the present season. included the following numbers: Adieu, Forets, (Farewell, ye Moun- tains) “Jeanne d’Arc” Tschaikowsky Slumber Song Gretchaninow Thw Nicht so Sprode, Schones Kind (Be not so Coy, my Pretty Maid) Rubenstein Nur, wer die Sehnsucht Kennt (One who has Yearned Alone)..

Besides the sale of these articles orders can be taken for any duplicate as the pieces are all carefully numbered. Although, such orders could not, naturally be filled before Christmas many people who are not in special haste will be will- ing to wait until this delicate work can be finished. Nothing but the uncertainty of shipping could prevent club | the fulfilment of such orders and nas they need not be paid for until re- ceived no loss would be entailed. Cer- tain articles of this kind that have come through the perilous war zone have added in interest and value. Some touching letters have been re- ceived from dealers in these Floren- tine ware. Many of the artists who did this exquisite work are already at the front—some of them never to return Their families are often left in ex- treme need and men and women alike appreciate keenly any orders that are sent them by American friends.

A. will give a welcome party to NEW SUBMARINES LARGEST KNOWN' Navy Department to Advertise*i for Bids at Early Date Washington, Nov. 20.—The two new fleet submarines, bids for which will soon be advertised by the navy department, will exceed the Schley, now the world’s biggest under water craft so far as is known, hy 300 tons in displacement. They will be 1,300 ton craft on the surface as against the Schley’s 1,000 tons and exceed by 200 tons the biggest of the cruiser des- stroyers of the navy- Congress gave navy designers a hard task when it said that these two new fleet submarines should have a sur- face speed of twenty-fiive knots an hour “if possible.” The Schley will be a twenty knot boat when completed | and will have more than 4,000 horse | power fiurnished by h oil engines. Experiments in the navy model basin with models of the new craft. show | that they will require between 8,000 and 10,000 horse power to make the additional five knots. Hard to Find Engines, No internal combustion engines to go in the space available and furnish the power required could be found for the boats, and the specifications to be advertised will propose vessels fitted with steam turbines for surface work. The boilers will be fired with oil fuel. A novel arrangement has been ! developed for ordinary surface cruis- ing whereby one of the twin turbines | will do all of the work, the second shaft being operated by electricity. | When high speed is required both turbines will be used. The boats will be fitted with motor generators oper- ating on pinion gears of the turbines. When the turbines are working, they will flow back from the batteries to | the generators, which then become motors to drive the propeller shafts. Peculiar Construction. The peculiarity of the construction, however, lies in the fact that when the ! boat is cruising one turbine will drive one propeller shaft and also its own generator. In this way the full effi- ciency is obtained from the single tur- bine and economy of fuel consumption secured. The boats will mount disappearing guns for surface action, the new four-inch weapon of this type prob- ably being substituted for the three inch gun on smaller submersibles. They will probably carry two guns the new members on the evening of | Dec. 2. Games, dancing and other forms of entertainment will be en- joyed. and a general good time is promised. | City Items Melville T- Clarke of 414 Arch street is confined to his home with a sprained ankle- Thomas Quinlivan has plumbing business to 712 street.
