opposite sides of the at ream.
But although the Flare line on the
lower course of the river has thus been
ucceaMfully reached by the Italian
forces In their retirement, they are Se

' In their offensive of 191& the Aus

afterward .' driven back near their
border. It is ' approximately eleven
miles from the Asi to the Italiau

Further west' in Trentlno an Auatro

. As yet uo clashes between the Maxi

has ordered that the former premier
be arrested aud imprisoned w4hh. the

Petrograd. : Lenlne also has given his
instructions that bis forces shall move
against any soldiers supporting Keren

, It is not clear whether the Russian
armies as a whole have accepted the
new government, but Jt ' is .reported
. that some units have gone over to the
revolution Bide. AH available Russian
"advices except reports from Germany
must come through Petrograd,and even
., them have not indicated any great
rush to the revolution leaders from
' the soldiers outside of Petrograd and
Moscow. '
The Russian war office' has not Is
sued an official statement for several
days. Berlin In its statement how
ever, mentions no great activity on the
eastern front, and there are ho reports
that the Austro-Gonnans have taken
advantage of the disorder in PetrogrtfTTl
to make a determined attack at vital
points between the Baltle and Black
seas, itcport rrom Copenhagen say
the Germans have occupied the Aland
Islands at the entrance of the Gulf of

and Finland. ; , . .
On the Baltic fronts Unix's army

are in their new positions, probably
along the I'iave river, ready to ofier

Beported fur The TrtbuneT
Friday evening at tne Central grad
ed achoul auditorium "X Old Folks"
concert was glvea by the Mothers' Cir
cle, assisted by friends. The poet
who said "I cannot sing the old soon"
wss not bora Is Concord. Our people
sing the old soon well and that Coo-cord-has
talent In music and art was
clearly demonstrated on this occasion.
Thorn taking part were delightful and

rwo - looked backward through the
mists of years to the time when the
singers were In the rosy morn of life,
"When You and I Were Young. Ma
gle." Then we looked at the "811 ver
Threads Among -the Gold" on their
brows today, and as wo saw the ma
jesty of purity and love that time
has wrought upon them, we felt in
our hearts that the beauty and pathos
age adds to talent and virtue Is sub
lime. - Time had mellowed the sweet
ness of their voices, . sorrow had
smoothed the furrows In their cheeks,
and age bad softened the light in their
eyes. 7
. This concert had a vein of humor,
too : there was wit and the essence of
comedy. Yea, there was also a trace
of tragedy in the wonderful costumes
ef "ye olile times that charmed the
large audience. 'Adeline Pattl was a
great singer in her day, but Pattl
was not half so touching, half so pa
thetic as were the artists on the stage
that evening. 1
There were so many delightful num
bers, so many meritorious parts of a
glorious whole, that it would take vol
umes to portray them in their charm
ing qualntness and uniqueness.
Those old songs awakened sacred
memories in the hearts of the old
folks. Yes, "ye olde folks" touched the
chord of sympathy in every heart The
large audience knew the gentleness
and sweetness of their lives the note
less tenor of beautiful lives. The young
were caught by the splendor of cos
tumes and Jingles of music The old
were won by the memories that were
awakened by song and story and fiddle
and bow, and all went away with "the
faint exquisite music of a d'eam"
throbbing in their hearts, with a kind
lier feeling for the old songs, the old
dreams and the old' sentiments. "
From the time Mrs. Charles Ritchie,
the stage director, entered, followed
by the "troop," the audience evidenc
ed its. interest by sn outburst of ap
plause, which applause continued to
outburst at frequent intervals through
out the evening. The opening num
ber was "Long, Long Ago," sung by
the entire class, followed by that love
ly old song that always pleases, "When
You And I Were Young, Maggie," beau
tifully sung by . Mesdames . Ritchie,
Pembertou, Herring and Cook, Messrs.
Cook and Bost. Mrs. Ritchie then
announced a violin solo by Mr. John
Young, accompanied by Mum Herring.
The solos was catchy and the way he
and Miss Herring played "Dixie", cau;

A quartette, composed of Messrs. C
. Cook, David CaldwelL D. li. Porter
and E. H. Bost, singing with enthus
iasm, gave two beautiful selections,
My Old Kentucky Home" and "Carry
Me Back to Old Vlrglnny," with pleas
ing effect.'.: Worthy of special note was
the splendid reading given by , Mrs.
Gorman and following this "Aunt Me-
linda" gave a number of selections.
"Aunt : Mellnda." one of our talented
artists of the younger set, made a hit
with the audience as she came out
dressed as the old time "black mam
my" and'carrying the laundry. Mes
dames Ritchie, Morrison' and Patter
son delighted the audience with their
solos. "Love'B Old Sweet Song" was
unearthed and brought forth bv Mrs.
Ritchie. She sang with the charm and
grace of a debutante. "Listen to the
Mockingbird" was splendidly rendered
by Mrs, Patterson and was made de
cidedly catchy by tne thrilling wanwes 1
emanating from the rear of the stage. !
"Silver Threads Among the Gold" by
Mrs. , Morrison, was another favorite.
The beauty and melody of the old song
rendered, as it was, charmed the hear
ers. Mesdames Herring, MorrlBon and
Woodhouse captivated the audience
by their splendid singing of that ever
popular, ever loved old--song "Far
Away,"' Another popular nnmoer was
"Come Where My Love Lies Dream

rison, Patterson, Woodhouse and Cook,
Messrs. Cook and Bost It was most
effectively sung aim proved a nit witni

the numbers were cleverly rendered
and showed the great skill and talent

well, and Pembertou played the num
erous accompaniments and their tasks
were performed most acceptably.- Tne
singing of "Keep the- Home ' Fires
Burning," by Mr. Cook and the chorus,
"proved . these artists could sing the
new music as well as the old, auu tne
audience was thrilled, by the beautiful
words of this lovely song. Miss Her
ring's: splendid accompaniment . added
much to the success of this number.
Mrs. "Williams gave -us two readings
in the most charming manner, the first
"An Old Sweetheart of Mine." Cer-
tHinlv tha elimAT was reached as Mrs.
Williams came out draped in flags and
gave "Old Glory." She held the au
dience in intense interest " The rendi
tion was superb. AS she said the last
words the chorus sang ' with feeling
'America." The various choruses used
throughout the programme were splen
didly, sung and showed great talent
by those taking part

The continued firmness of Liverpool
gave a steadier tone to the situation ,
at the reopening of the market Wed
nesday morning and a sharp advance
followed the publication of the gin- J
niug figures Thursday. This advance . -was
checked by the unsettling .news
from Russia and Italy which caused
heavy general liquidation and a break
of about 72 points, followed by di
minishing activity and rather ner
vous fluctuations today. Foreign
political news has occupied a great -deal
of the trade's attention during
the week, but apprehensions that re
cent developments in -; nusm uu
Italy would prolong the war have
evidently been partially offset by in- ,
creased confidence in the smaller es- ,
timates of the yield. The-ginning of
