The igned, | group is on the annual tour during | the Christmas holidays, during which | time they plan to give concerts in a series of which the Washington ap- pearance was the first, and including in Charleston, W. V: Louisville, Indianapolis, Milw Chicago, Buffalo and Syracuse. Although the boys also try vocal numbers, they are emphatically at their best in the instrumental num- bers. In the few a capella selections | they faltered in pitch and their har- mony effects, even in accompanied | numbers, was not so “close” as might be wished. However, a very good | baritone and an unusually individual | tenor voice emerged in the solo parts | of “Good King Wencelas” to good | effect. Of course, the Harvard Uni-| versity Glee Club, an entirely sepa-| rate organization, which gives the finest choral music excellently under the direction of Dr. Davison, is quite outside the happy-go-lucky college | atmosphere of these Instrumental Club programs. Everybody liked the Mandolin | Club especially in the arrangement | {by Odell of “The Song of the Volga Boatman,” in which a ‘nice discrim- ination in tonal values was presented, and the Jold Coast Orchestra in “Muehlenberg Joys,” whicl was sub- stituted for “Climbing Up the Ladder of Love,” was generously applauded. The Banjo Club was particularly good in the “Foot Ball Medle Quite the bright particular star of the evening was Charles Henderson, pianist, a boy with remarkable abil- ity and a marvelous sense of comed: His “Sally, Come Back,” in imitation | of a mechanical plano, and his “Mov ing Picture Music Monolog” were really masterpieces of such bur-| lesquing. Even in the accompani-| ment of the violin solos played by | Albert W. Lind—the Sarasate “Gypsy Airs” and Drigo's “Valse Bluette" one suspected Mr. Henderson of hav-| ing difficulty in restraining his bur- ! lesquing powers. Another skillful solo- | ist was Kingsley Perry, ventriloguist. | Of course the finale was “Fair Har- | vard,” sun, played and applauded. HE OTHER WISE MA!

By the Associtted Press. SMYRNA, Asia Minor, December 27.—Resumption of the excavations at Ephesus, interrupted for a number of years, has finally brought to light the long sought catacombs { early Cpristian martyrs known he Seven Sleepers of Ephesus.” The systematic search for presum- able antiquities in this part of Asia Minor was taken up last Fall by the Museum of Smyrna with the assist | ance of Profs. Keil, Theuner and Miit- ner of Vienna man, theological historian at the Uni | versity of Berlin. After the workmen had cleared away great plles of debris and stones on the rugged slopes of the burial zround of Ephesus, a vast compound of ancient Christian culture and the adjolning tombs of the seven sleepers were disclosed. The tombs contained many lamps of manifold designs, among were several specimens of fine sculp- fural tions of antique and early Christian nes, all bearing the monogram of Christ. According to legend, seven tian youths about 250 A. D.. hid them- | selves from pursuit in a cave. Their hiding place was discovered and the entrance blocked. The martyrs then fell asleep. Nearly 200 years later a herdsman discovered the nd letting in light awo! The Emperor Theodosius I1, hearing of this phenomenon, hastened to the spot in time to hear from the martyrs that God had wrought this marvel to confirm the belief in the resurrection of the dead.

ABSORPTION OF PANAMA SEEN French Paper Calls Treaty Pretext for German- Austrian Alliance. Five Swim for Hour To Prove Icy Water Of East River Safe By the Assoctated Press. NEW YORK, December 27.— With the water temperaturs 26 degrees above zero, five men went swimming for an hour in the East River vesterd: with the an- nounced purpose of proving that any red-blooded man with plenty of merve and stamina and grease can safely swim in fcy water. The men, all members of the United States Life Saving Corps, made the experiment to disprove a statement by a statistician that a large portion of drownings are due to Winter submersion. Too many people let t = vainds dominate them while swimming in cold water, Capt. Robert O. Whit- ten, who headed the group, said. He continued “When they fall in the water they think they are going to have pneumonia. What they ought to do is submerge their minds.” | By the Associated Press.
