Such . notes usually go into Mary Garden's wastebasket. But this one appealed to her. With characteristic terseness she wrote the young man to come next day. The result of that audience was an opera called Camille, written by the young man after the story of Alexandre Dumas fils (as is Verdi's Traviata). The premiere was scheduled for this week at Samuel Insull's year-old Chicago Opera...

...Germany, Italy and Britain merely caused elastic M. Briand to bounce with animation, like the big and roly-poly diplomatic rubber ball that he is. Professing to be "greatly encouraged" that all the Powers except Britain profess "eagerness" to continue discussion of his scheme, he showed reporters a sheaf of 100% favorable replies from such French satellites as Poland.
