But ing the meal, which as usual was tured with- pancakes and sausage, and for half an hour or so afterward there was an informal exchange of ideas regarding the major matters that are likely to come up for action during the present session of Con- Bress.

Comdr Stitt also urged the Presi- dent to recommend to Congress that sufficient funds be provided to place in actual complete operation the na- tional defense act, explaining while his organization is not militaristic or an alarmist it is interested in pre- paredness such as will save the coun- try from needl sacrifice in the future. Men Deprived of Bonus. Comdr. $titt told the President that there are many ex-service men in prison today who have the impression that they lost all rights to the Fed- eral bonus when they were convicted of some crime or misdemeanor. He explained that his organizition s cnx- fous to locate these men and to urge them to apply for the World War ad- justed compensation. He added that his organization is not moved by any foolish sentimentality toward the con- victs, but has undertaken this work in the interest of the many innocent dependents ier’ prisoners.

The education committee of the American Association of University Women has planned for December 11, at the association clubhouse, 1634 I street northwest, at 12:30 pm., a luncheon which will interest all those concerned with the different phases of educational work carried on in the city. The club has been very fortunate in securing as speakers for the lunch- eon Dr. Charles R. Mann, director, American Council of Education; Mr. Joy E. Morgan, director of publica- tions, National Education Association, and Mr. Morton Snyder, executive secretary of the Progressive Educa- tion Association. Reservations for the luncheon are being made at the clubhouse. One of the most successful of Zonta Club functions was that of the studio dinner and program given at the Hendley-Kasper School of Music, with the following convention team as host- esses: Miss Julia D. Connor, Miss Estelle Foster, Miss Saidie Wetherall and Mrs. Lucia M. Hendley. The first course of the dinner was served at 6:30 o’'clock, followed by a surprise musical program. “The Bridal Chorus,” Wagner-Schutt, was plaved by Monica Kasper, and Ned Davis, a youthful prodigy, interpreted “Etude Melodique A,” by Raff, and Schubert’s “Impromptu.” These num- bers were followed by Edward Bal- lantyne’s delightful ‘‘Variations on Mary Had a Little Lamb.” This was graphically introduced by Gwendolyn Norton. The theme was played by little Ann Sugar, and the sketches were given by Irene Lerch, Dorothy Campbell, Monica Kasper, Dorothy Howell, Elsie Rupp and Mrs. Ethel Garrett Kasper. The concluding num- ber of the musical part of the pro- gram was given by Irene Lerch, “Humoresque,” by Rachmaninoff. After the dessert was served an amusing charade contest, involving the “adaptable” names and occupa- tions of Zonta members, was entered into by most of the guests. Miss Mollie Weyman won the first prize and Mr. George Stambaugh the gen- tleman’s prize. The musical of the International Federation of Catholic Alumnae, to be held at the home of Mrs. Frederi Rice Tuesday evening, will be directed by Dr. Alexander Henneman. Those assisting at the reception which will follow the program are Miss Margaret | McAllister, Miss Mary Rich, Miss Mar- garet O'Connor, Miss Josephine Crow- lev, Miss Rosa Schulteis, Miss Rose Fuller, Miss M. Creager, Miss Ann Brosnan, Miss P. Abell, Miss Eugenia Lieutaud, Miss Vera Whitty, Miss Frances Walshe, Miss Margaret O’'Connor and others.

THE EVE CATROLS URGED T0 AVOD AVGER Kind Replies to Critics Ad- vised at Convention of " Colored Federation. Attacks upon the Catholic Church should be answered in Kkindly and sane tone in the secular press, Rev. John La Farge, associate editor of America, the officlal organ of the Jesuit Order, declared this morning, addressing the second annual conven- tion of the Federated Colored Cath- olics of the United States in a two- day convention at St. Augustine’s Church. To answer with bitterness such denunciations as might be di- rected at the church, Father LaFarge said, is folly. Where the church re- ceives commendation or praise from an outside source, he said, Catholics should be even more prompt in ex- pressing their gratitude. Such meas- ures, he hopes, will bring about a. bet- ter understanding and harmony be- tween Catholics and members of other faiths. Name Officers Today. Several resolutions are being adopt- ed this afternoon and these include the expression of fealty to country and churel The annual election of officers will' take place this afterr.oon, after which the convention will ad- Jjourn to allow its delegates, who are representative of colored Catholics of all parts of the country, to make a sight-seeing tour of Washington. The convention opened yesterday morning with a high mass at St. Augustine’s Church, and although the official regisration of delegates is 100, the church was crowded. Walsh Expresses Appreciation. Senator Walsh of Massachusetts, who was today sworn in as the suc- cessor of Senator Butler, in addre ing the convention at the opening s sion yesterday expressed his personal interest in Catholic negroes and con- gratulated the members of the conven- tion on “assuming the duties of lead- ership and in banding together, that your strength, your solidarity and your religious’ fervor may be made know! “I wonder if you have stopped to ING STAR, WASHINGTON, think what 1t means to be leaders,| WILHELM AND BISMARCK - spokesmen, pleaders, fighters,” Sena- tor Walsh declared, and added: “Your work, that of uniting the church to| the negro problem, is a great honor and a privilege. I wish to express my profound and sincere appreciation of that devotion which has brought you to make the sacrifices you are making to let the church know more about you.” " The Senator said that through the meeting of negroes of great ability here he has become ‘stirred by the great possibilities of growth andspread of Catholicism among the people of this race.” Mr. Walsh was introduced by Eu- gene A. Clark, assistant superin- tendent of public schools. Rev. Rob- ert E. Froelich was celebrant of the high mass which_opened the conven. tion, while Rev. Norman E. Duckett, colored priest of Detroit, and former altar boy at St. Augustine's, preached the sermon. T. W. Turner of Hamp- ton Institute presided as chairman of the session, which was welcomed by Rev. J. E. Olds. Dr. Albert Ridgeley, in a brief ad- dress, declared that the aims of the convention are the devisement of means of extending the influence of the negro in the Catholic Church, and to_assist in the propagation of the faith among the 5,000,000 American negroes reported to be without church connection of any denomination.

By the Associated Press. BRESLAU, Germany, December 6. —Former Emperor William and Bis- marck are the leading characters of a new historical review that hds,been brought out at Circus Busch with tremendous success. The author, Prof. Dr. Herbert Hirschberg, has created, with the aid of a number of documents recently released from the secret state ar- chives, 11 historical scenes of great anecdotal value, which are billed un- der the title of “The German Trag- edy, or Bismarck and William II.” Initially, the plot is laid in Baden- Baden and depicts the heated con- troversy between King William I of Prussia, Bismarck and King John of Saxony, on August 20, 1863, on the all-important question whether the Prussian king was to attend the Diet of princes at Frankfurt.

Of dramatic power is the scene in which the kaiser, in response to a daring exclamation of Bismarck, im- petuously attempts to draw his sword, but is promptly disarmed by the sturdy old chancellor. At the first showing the theater was crowded to the doors. The per. formance was frequently interrupted by spontaneous and tumultuous ap- plause. S FARMER HELD IN SLAYING.
