The demonstration at the close of the first group, three German lieder of Schu- mann and Schubert, brought him out for bows and at the close of the group of Negro songs he added as an en- core “Carry Me Back to Old Vir- ginny,” which had been requested. Aria Well Received ‘There was equal enthusiasm shown over the aria “Le Tambour Major” from the Thomas work, “Le Cadi,” which the audience received with de- light. Translation of Fourdrain’s “Les! +Marina d'Islande,” added to the en- joyment of the French group also in- cluding Ferrari's “Le Miroir,” the highlight of the concert for sheer loveliness, and the fantastic “Danse Macabre” of Saint Saens. It was be- re this group that the artist intro- duced his accompanist, Miss Mirlam Allen of Chicago. Bracketed in the final grouping were the Holst “Creation,” with its interesting rhythm, “Nocture” by Per- rin, which was one of the most thor- oughly enjoyable readings of the con- ennemann’s “When the King Went Forth to War” and “The Green- Eyed Dragon,” varying somewhat from the set program. Here he added as encores “Home on the Range” and the vibrant “I Love Life” by Mana- Zucca. Has Sure Command Schmidt's sure, dramatic command of phrase and nuance, his vocal opu- lerce, his awareness of the spirit of the music and the persuasiveness of his projections linked with singing characterized by command and re- straint lift him far out of the or- dinary run of vocal artists. How- ever, he would add greatly to his con- certs if he would avoid using words at times although it is done unob- tusively. Bismarck music lovers seemed to} like hearing the songs from the col- lection book which graces the piano of almost every home sung by a fine ‘and serious artist but they had equally attentive interest for the more classic offerings.

GARBO STILL IN SWEDEN other committee members had just ‘vontended that this government, be- fore entering the world conflict, tried to keep American banks liquid and ready for war but not to stop trade with the allies. Puffs Away Furiously Morgan puffed furiously at his pipe as he once again disputed the com- mittee’s view that American interest in trade with the allies, rather than submaries, led this country’ into the war. At the outset of the hearing, an extract from the diary of Col. Edward M. House, confidential advisor to Woodrow Wilson, was introduced to show Secretary of State Lansing wanted the war-time president to break with Germany early in January of 1917. The argument of Senator Clark and some others on the senate munitions committee is that trade with the lies so involved the United States that it could not escape joining them as, belligerents regardless of any efforts Germany made to render submarine warfare “humane.” Trade Stymied Wilson Clark read documents to show that while President Wilson grew angry at British blockade tactics which in- terfered with American commerce, he never pressed retaliatory trade mea- sures to stop these tactics. The rea- son, Clark held, was the United States’ deep involvement in trade with the allies, ‘ The result was, he contended, that Germany, which considered itself a victim of American favoritism toward | , the allies, had no alternative but. to use her submarine power to attempt & blockade of her own. $90,000 IN DAMAGE CAUSED BY FLAMES Fargo and Moorhead Business Places Hit by Fires on ‘Wednesday Night Fargo, N.

NEBRASKA FARMERS AWAIT HOOVER TALK Former President Expected to Elucidate on GOP Farm Relief Plans Lincoln, Neb, Jan. 16.—(#)—Ne- braska Republicans gathered in Lin- coln Thursday to hear former presi- dent Herbert Hoover discuss the agri- cultural policies of the Roosevelt ad- ministration, and to make plans for their 1936 state campaign.
