Met Strong Opposition. In his recent victory in the Ala- bama State finals MaXxwell met the strongest opposition any Alabama high school orator ever had faced. it was the unanimous opinion of the ontest officials that each of the 10 contestants was a potential nationalist, whereas heretofore the really high- calibered entrants numbered not more than 3 or 4. Reports of his home city to the National Contest headquarters here declare that the champion is unas- suming, but yet “bubbling over with life, animation and ambition.” He is characterized by his teachers as a “real h Considering the Birmingham reports the known _abilities of Aleck Loker, Randolph Leigh, national con- test founder and director, said this T orning that the finals in the Audi- torfum this year bid fair to be the best fought of the series. The Kansas City regional finals will be staged at Kansas City tonight, when the representatives of six dis- tricts compete for the third place in the national finals. The contestants in that competition includ arl_Albert, McAleste e Constitutio well, Rochester, on “Lincoln and the Constitution”; Wallace Palmer, Independence, Mo., on “America’s Con- tribution to the Constitutional Govern- ment”; Robert Clark Evans, Tacoma, W on “The Constitution”; Miss “hristiansen, Chippewa Falls, ‘The_Constitution,” and Wil- liam Lavelle, Warren, Ohio, on “Lin- coln and the Constitution.” T AMUSEMEN1S NATIONAL—“The Master Builder.” Eva Le Gallienne and her company of the Civic Repertory Theater, with this_evening’s performance of “The ( dle Song,” will close a week at the National Theater of really superb dramatic entertainment that has been so successful that Weshington may expect its repetition hereafter. Last evening was devoted to the presentation of Hendrick Ibsen’'s “The Master Builder,” with Miss Le Gallienne in what is generally consid- ered her greatest role, that of Hilda. The performance throughout carried with it the same degree of artistic ex- cellence and charm which has char- acterized the work of this remarkable voung star and her brilliant company throughout the week. The engagement of Miss Le Gal- lienne and her company has proved THE EVENING OWNER DESCRIBES CHALICE OF ANTIOCH Woman's Universal Alliance Holds Final Session—Delegates to Visit Mount Vernon. The Woman's Universal Alliance held its final business session of the second conference on world welfare work this morning at the Carlton Hotel. Many of the delegates left on a pilgrimage to Mount Vernon early this afternoon. A religious pageant was on the pro- gram last night, preceded by lectures on the famous Chalice of Antioch by Fahim Kouchakfi of Aleppo. Syria, whose family owns the chalice, and Dr. David E. Mitchell, former presi- dent of Cumberland University, Tenn., who gave a historical sketch of the sacred object. Mr. Kouchakji gave an intimate ac- count of how the famed' chalice of Antioch, thought to be the Holy Grail, came into his possession, and he illus- trated his remarks with rare pictures of the cup, showing hundreds of in- tricate and beautifully executed carv- ings. The cup itself, thought to be the cup of the last supper, is of plain design, but is contained in a recep- tacle which is designed in a manner considered by artists to be impossible of duplication. Mr. Kauchakji said that the chalice ntioch is now in a vault in a New York bank, but that it is planned to eventually perfect arrangements 80 that it can be placed on permanent exhibition, that it may be a constant inspiration to thousands of persons. Capt. C. C. Calhoun ou:.lined the purposes of the proposed mothers’ memorial which the alliance plans to erget here, stating that it will stand as a tribute to universal motherhood.

The State Department's résume of the report did not say that this Government would resort to force in the event Liberals declined to disarm, but a statement is- sued by the Liberal leaders in Managua declared Stimson informed them in_ writing “that the United States will ba authorized to accept the custody of the arms of those willing to lay them down, including the gov- ernments, and fo disarm forcibly these who will not do so.” Declaring that he believes it prob- able that most of “the insurgent lead- ers will actively co-operate in the pacification and government of the country,” Stimson said “I am thus noperul that, except for the action of small groups of irrecon- ciliables and bandits, this horrible and bitter war is over and will be fol- lowed by a constructive and intelli- gent plan for the political and eco | nomic reconstruction of the country.” Program for Peace. Stimson’s program for peace fol- lows: “1. Complete disarmament on both sides. “2, An immediate general peace to permit the planting for the new crop in June. “3. A general amnesty to all per- sons in rebellion or exile. “4, The return of all occupied or conflscated property to its owners. “5. Participation in the Diaz cab- inet by representative liberals. “g.
