That the city's undivided support is being given those In charge of Wash- ington's second Music week was proved conclusively last night, when again sev- eral hundred music enthusiasts were un- able to gain admission to the Central High School auditorium, where an elab- orate program was presented, with the Choral Art Society of Washington, as- sisted by the Washington College of Music orchestra, the chief feature. As on the previous evening, the man- agement ordered the _doors closed im- mediately all seats were occupied, and only allowed them reopened to permit numbers at a time to replace those who left the h Perfect order prevailed throughout, and, while disappointed at not gaining admission, those on the outside went their different ways, firm in their inten- tion of appearing at the building a little earlier in the future.

SINGERS SCORE SUCCESS. Choral Art Society Has Brilliant Initial Performance. The Choral Art Soclety, Gforge Harold Miller, conducting, made i initial public appearance last evening in Central High School -auditorium, presenting Haydn's oratorio, ‘“The Creation,” before a capacity audience, The solos and small ensemble num- , bers were sustained by Clara Young, ! Gladys Price and Marie C. Deal, so- ‘pranos; J. F. M. Bowle, tenor, and Charles T. Tittmann, bass. It was an , ambitious undertaking for so new a | singing society, but the result, as far as the choruses were concerned, am- : ply justified the conductor’s judgment in’selecting this difficult work for the : formal debut of the soclety, and the prediction was freely made by musi- cians present that the organization would be a worthy successor to the several similar organizations that ‘\have for many decades delighted mu- \sic lovers with choral works of the ‘highest standard. Mr, Miller has long held a place ,in’ the fromt rank of. Washington singers and his achlevement last even- | Ving establshes his claim to a similar position among Washington conduc- tors. Among the choruses, “Awake {he Harp.” was espectally the fugal passages being oclearly de- veloped and, as In the final numbers, “Achieved Is the Glorlous Work,” ,climaxes of splendid proportions were ¢attained. Undoubtedly some of the finer effects wero almost lost by the unfortunate placing of the orchestra on the front of the stage, thus plac- ing the accompaniment nearer to the audience than the singers. Of the soloists, Mr. Tittmann' easily carried off the honors of the occasion. He. was in_exceptionally fine voice, delivering his recitatives - with au- thority and good diction and. espe- SKID Every Tire a Pirst In Factery Wrappers MANY MUSIC LOVERS FAIL TO HEAR CONCERT PROGRAM CONCERT, 4 P.M.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, May 30.— The American schooner Marion N. Cobb of Mobile, from Veneauela for Jacksonville with a cargo of guano, was believed here early today to be at the bottom of the Atlantic five miles off the mouth of the St. Johns river. The Shipping Board steamer Sun Dance, en route from Tampa to Jack- sonville and lying to off St Johns bar because of rough weather, took the crew of the Cobb aboard early last night, and ia a wireless message to the Associated Press here shortly before midnight Capt. Stanford of the steamer said ‘that when last seen the decks of the schooner were awash. The Sun Dance, which also has aboard eleven members of the crews of the St. Augustine shrimp fleet caught In the gale off that city Sun- day, docked here this forenoon. Two of the shrimp boats, each with two men aboard, are missing. Nothing further had been heard to- day from the steam yacht Florence, reported late yesterday by the British steamer Siamese Prince, to be dis- abled and at anchor twenty miles off St. Johns bar. The Florence put in here several days ago for fuel and| was en route for Miami, The British schooner Perceler went ashore on St. George bar, near the! mouth of the river. Sunday afternoon and tugs are trying to float her. The vessel was on her way to Jackson- ville from Nassau for repairs. Both the Sun Dance and the Siam- ese Prince, in reporting yesterday the plight of the Cobb and the Florence, requested thet tugs be sent to them immediately. Only two tugs capable of bucking the bLeavy seas were in| port, and one of them, the Volunteer, | was at work trying to float the Per- | celer. The other tug, the Three Friends, the Tamous filibusterer of Spanish-American war days. is hav- ing a new set of boilers installed pre- paratory to converting her into a wrecking tug, and the only hope the Florence has of getting a tow is for a coast guard cutter or a tug from Brunswick or Savannah, going to her assistance. The gale apparently had passed north- eastward early today. The wind at Jacksonville during the storm, although the city is only eighteen miles from the ocean, was not very high, but at St. Augustine yesterday a velocity of fitty miles an hour was reported. Many small boats in the harbor at St. Augus- tine were swamped by the winds and seas, VIRGINIA PAGEANT ENDS. RICHMOND, Va.

GRAVE CRISIS AVERTED. Acceptance By Germany May Stay Military Action. BY PAUL SCOTT MOWRER.\ By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News. Copyright, 1922, PARIS, May 30.—Germany's elev- enth-hour acceptance of the repara- tion commission’s demands once more averts a grave crisis and postpones| the possibility of the French taking pose of stimulating Germany's will to pay. Germany practically prom- ises to balance her budget by in- creased taxes and by domestic and foreign loans, to Stop the printing presses and to cease pouring out paper marks, except as specifically authorized by the reparations com- mittee. In return the German payments for the current year are limited to 720,- 000,000 gold marks, of which 420, 000,000 remain to be paid and 1,450, 000,000 gold marks in kind. The effect of all this should be a better order- ing of Germany's chaotic public finances, which have been reacting unfavorably on business conditions throughout the world during the last year. = The reparations question it- self, however, is_by no means finally settled. Publication of the 1923 French budget shows that 80,000,- 000,000 paper francs have now been advanced by France against Ger- many's account. Fgench intern reparations loans are costing the gov- ernment 4,000,000.000 francs a year in interest alone. Another 80,000,000,000 francs will be spent it the French citizens will continue to lend their savings. The total interest will then be 8.000.000,000 francs annually, sll of which France considers she is paye ing unjustly in Germany's stead. Repeated Concessions. As the French see the reparations negotiations they have been nothing but a serles of repeated concessions by France. At Boulogne at the end of 1920, the tofal reparation, of which France is to receive 52 per cent, was set at 259,000,000,000 gold marks. In Paris, in January, 1921, the amount was reduced to 226,000,000,000, plus 12 per cent of the exports. Twelve billions due before May 1 that year were unpaid. On_ May 7 the total was reduced to 132.000,000,000 marks. Germany was supposed to pay 2,000.- 000,000 marks per year. She paid 1,000,000,000 marks in 1921, of which France received nothing, ail going to Britain and Belgium. This year far- ther reductions have been granted. From the French point of view-the question is ‘whether France is going to be ruined or Germany. They belleve unanimously -at Germany is animated solely by 1l w\1 for her passive resist- ance, and if Premier Poincare has made anything clear in the last few weeks it is that France reserves entirely her | rights under the treaty of Versailles to take separate action against Germany in case of wilful default. People here be- lieve that if France did not reserve this right, Germany, fearing nothing, sfmply o nov- -elties in white silk-and clocked ' 4 WASHINGTON, D. jher bed at the | O, YeS' WHen BID YOU LAST never would pay, and that Britain and Italy would be indifferent. _ British Responstbilities. It is further generally believed that Britain's attitude is largely responsible’ for Germany's present policy. Never- theless, the writet can assert without hesitation that the majority of the French people do not want to be obliged to use force against Germany. Their disposition is peaceful, for they have had enough of war. Mobilization would be accomplished with great bitterness, and perhaps many differences of a morai Dature, thouga this would depend upon circumstances. The French people do not want to pay the expenses of more military expeditions, do not want to an- noy the rest of the world and lose what remains of its sympathy, and do not want to disorganize commerce and finance, At the same time practically all agree that the use of force must be held in re- serve as a last resort in case Germany finally proves recalcitrant. They be- lieve, and most competent foreign ob- servers believe, that they are strong enough to carry out tae occupation of the Ruhr basin, or even Berlin, without assistance, and to enforce their will on Germany. They hope that the interna- tional bankers now meeting in Paris can arrange for payments by an inter- national loan. They hope that the allies will stand by them in reasonable de- mands. They hope there will be no more crisea. But they still regard their budget on the one hand and Germany on the other with grim and anxious eyes. SEIZED WITH CRAMPS,- SWIMMER IS DROWNED | Body of William J. Whalen, Struc- tural Steel Worker, Recov- ered Today. William J. Whalen, thirty-eight years old. an iron worker, who lived | at 923 Maryland avenue southwest, was drowned while bathing in the river just below Fox's ferry, on the Maryland side of the Potomac river, about 6:30 o'clock last night. It is belleved that Whalen was seized | with cramps. _His cries attracted the attention of Capt. Thomas Posey and members of the crew of the Columbia | Dredging Company’s machine near- | by. Employes soon set out in small| boats and made a futile effort to re- cover the body. The body was re- covered by Guy Woods of Alexandria today. Less than an hour before Whalen's | wife and some of his children, who | had_been visiting at the houseboat of S. W. Davis, on the opposite side of the river, returned to Alexandria and it was after their departure that Whalen went in bathing. Mrs. Whalen was prostrated upon hearing the news of the drowning of her husband and today is confined to residence of her father, Capt. George Davis, 107 Prince street, Alexandria. Mr. Whalen, be- sides 'his wife, Mrs. Lynia Davis Whalen, is survived by five children, four sons and one daughter, the youngest being seven years of age and the oldest seventeen. He was a son of Willlam M. Whalen of Alex- andria. 3 Discovery of tea as a brew was made by the Chinese In the xear 2737 B.

You cannot be ready until you have mastered the habit of thrift. This is an absolutely indispensable prerequisite of success. Thrift Is a Character Builder Thrift does not necessarily mean self-de nial; it is common sense applied to spending. A sensible person does not spend all he makes. He saves something for the rainy day; to provide against accident or sickness; to be independent in his old age; to seize a favorable opportunity when it is offered. The surest way to acquire a competence is to SAVE SYSTEMATICALLY. No matter how small the amount, PUT SOME THING ASIDE EACH PAY DAY. Don't keep it in your pocket; if you do you will surely spend it. Put it in a savings account in the bank.
