1L0.C TOREENACT FLEGION0F 193 District Chapters Assemble Tomorrow in Move to Settle Dispute. Without a president for more than & week, and in the opinion of a majority of the chapters with cnly a “de facto” government for more than a yeer, mem- bers of the District of Columbia divi- sion of the United Daughters of the Confederacy will meet tomorrow morn- ing at Confederate Memorial Hall to re- peat the repudiated convention held December 6 last year and to elect in 1924 officers for 1923. This seeming paradox, a fact in real- ity. has come about as a result of an in- ternal disruntion within the organiza- tion in Washington dating back to De- cember § last year, when six chapters of the District division left the convention incensed over what they termed unpar- liamentary tuictics on the part of the presiding officer of the convention and the credentials committee. Proceedings Canceled. Disruption of the convention when the six chanters left the meeting resulted in election of a “de facto” orgunization with Mrs. Albion Tuck at the head. Mrs. Walte Hutton presided at the meeting last December, which has been declared by the executive board of the natlonal crganization to be no meeting and its preceedings canceled, particu- larly as regards those elec: At the mecting la port of the creden signed only by its chai hers werc allowed to v g of themselves, according to parties 1o the so-called “insurgent’ Incensed a: the unparli of the ruling faction, six ¢ 2n appeal to Mrs. Frank Harroid, presi- dent general.

Beethoven and Schubert were the subjects of an interesting talk given in the auditorium of Central High School last night under the auspices of the Soclety of Fine Arts by Alfred J. Swan, musiclan and lecturer. Mr. Swan showed in the course of his talk how, although the French Revolution changed the situation completely in European politics, it did not affect the styles of thought in music. Mozart was undoubtedly the genlus of the eighteenth century, he suid, und_his music still stands alone in the refined type of court music. “Beethoven was filled with the spirit of revolt, however,” Mr. Swan added. “He had a strong character and ideas that were entirely unlike those of his cotemporary musiclans. Schubert, on the other hand, although younger and living in the same town at the same time as Beethoven, was totally uninfluenced by the latter's ideas and was practically his antith- esls in musical thought and mode of expression. Schubert was somewhat influenced by the works of Mozart, but he was of a different epoch, and this fact was reflected in his music. Where Schubert used harmony as har- mony alone, Mozart used harmony as %he background for melody.” Mr. Swan stated also that Beetho- ven's music may be easily divided into three periods—the first, the noisy pe- riod; the second. the period when he was affected by close communion with nature; the third, the perfod when he realized ‘his sight was going and he of this world and the next were com- bined in a philosophy that is reflected in the later compositions of his life.

During the war he was active in Y.M.C.A. circles, the religious activities in 25 camps and forts being put under his direct super- vision. Two years ago he was sent by the American Baptist' Foreign Mission Society as its special repre- sentative to Czechoslovakia. Only Hope of World. “We need to come back to the fam- ily and the Bible within the home. This is the only hope of the world,” continued the speaker. He emphasized the importance of the press working in the cause of re- ligion, and in conclusion said the spirit of religion is not for a person to work for his own salvation alone, but to strive to save others. Rev. Dr. C. L. Goodell, executive secretary of the gommission on evan- belism of the Tederal Council of Churches, urged the importance of the adoption of evangelastic methods in the home and Sunday school, not ..
