He said he knew nothing about a favorable turn in negotiations, announced by a Polisht spokesman. The Council would be called upon to decid$, he said, whether Poland has the rfght to resort to reprisals, arrest Lithuanian clergy and close schools in the Wina district, and whether Poland has the right to -organize bands to fo- mentiuprisings against the Lithuanian state; “We do not intend to discuss Vilna,” the premier said. “Lithuania has a legal tirle to Vilna, which she does not contemplate surrendering.” League headquarters are in doubt as to whether Premier Pilsudski of Poland will arrive to present Poland's side of the dispute.

By the Associated Press. 1 Reforestation of the denuded timber- | lands of the Mississippi Valley was urged as an essential means of con- | trolling floods today by Representa tive Griffin, Democrat, New York, be- fore the House flood control commit- | tee. He also recommended setting back | the levees along the Mississippi River | and opening up its old delta, which, he said, extended 200 miles from its | Gult mouth to the Atchafalaya River. | Opposition to reservoirs also was ex- pressed by Mr. Griffin, who is a mem- ber of the appropriations committee, | as “saddling the country with billions of dollars expense.” “Dams are futile,” he said. “It| would mean 200 reservoirs at a_cost | of £2,000,000,000. and their storage of water would only amount to 300,000 cubic feet a second during flood time.” He proposed that the country adopt a system of reforestation similar to that in Europe. He said that since 1850 the forests of the country have been stripped. “You prefer trees to golf clubs, Chairman Reid interjected, while M Griffin was urging the planting of forests.

THE EVENING MISS GORDON WINS PRAISE AS CARMEN Fascinating Performance Presented—Paul Althouse Is Admirable Don Jose. The gay, fa ting music of Bizet's “Carmen” was presented in a vivid performance last night as the second in the series of grand operas during this festival week of opera by the Washington Opera Company at Poli's Theater. The opera was received by a generous andience with much enthu siasm and evident enjoyment, even though it was nearly midnight when the last curtain fell on the prostrate, glittering Carmen, Jeanne Gordon. There have heen many seen in Washington. It is a favorit role here has been none who completely hoth looked and sang the role as Jeanne Gordon. She is an e cellent actress and vocally gives Carmen who possesses as rounded, acter, she is the incarnate. Her French also w and . in addition to unusu ations and emphasis pla familiar “Seguidilla” and ra* she made the card o ird act particularly effective. this number two Washington sing Doris Morrow as Frasquita and Rose Pollio Mercedes—also con tributed their parts in the trio with Carmen excellently Another musical in the three were splendid in the ing together was in (he quint Ge euchler and Wilfred s other local sinzers, in the second act when top la for a finely co-0; dinated piece of singing went to this sroup, all local except Miss Gordon This number showed good, thorough drilling and preparation. Althouse Is Admirable. Opposite Miss Carmen, Paul Althouse’s Don Jose was highly admirable. Voeally he was at his hest throughout' the entire evening and histrionically he completely lived up to the requirements of the role. With th two leads the opera be came a vital story of real people in stead of the extremely artificial thing it so often is. A young singer, Walter Chambe was excellent in the role of Zunig: nd Tvan Ivantzoff, a favorite for al seasons in opera here, was high ly welcomed in his toreador song of the second act, as FEscamillo. It sounded as though Mr. Ivantzoff might have a slight cold, for the usual g roundedness of his tones seemed handicapped. His acting, however, as, in chs ampire s very 1 in d on tne v e of the In episode which sinz with smith t 2e Gordon's |and his higher notes were as fine as | ever. Dorothy Speare, the young Ameri can novelist, who made her national cperatic debut with the local company Monday night in the title role of Mignon sang Micaela last night, Margery Maxwell, who was originally scheduled in the role, was ill, accord- ing to the announcement on inserted . Mi: Speare had sung Micaela previously in Italy and she achieved some very nice ef fects' last night, particularly in the “Je dis querin” air of the third act, when one enthusiastic admirer loudly shouted. ‘Bravo,” a la Italy, and ‘he entire house applauded heartily. Miss Speare was ill at ease at the length of the demonstration and cailed to the conductor to “Go on.” Chorus Wins Praise. Again Miss Dillon should he given praise for the admirable grouping of the chorus on various occ ons, e: pecially in the second and third acts for the general hqrm and freshness of suggestion in every setting.

The orchestra played very well. The hoys drilled ®ell in the soldiers' bits of action in the first act, and the little boys in their imitation drill lent a realistic and in- teresting touch. An outstanding bit of real Spanish color was given the second act by the admirable “solo dance by zabeth Gardiner, who spent much of last Sum- mer in Spain studying the intricacies of the various dances under leading Spanish exponents of the art, Tonight there will be no opera as the gala costume ball at the Mayflower Hotel will give the public opportunity to meet all the stars of the various ductions.

Indicting most wars as “business wars” and erting that wars will | continue until there comes a mutual | understanding among all civilized na- : | tions that wars shall he impossible. | | Arthur pp, president of Rotary In- | | ternational, speaking at the weekly |f {luncheon of the Washington Rotary | Club at the Willard Hotel this afte noon, contended that Rotary, throus! its mottc ‘He profits most who | orves | and by its active promo- tion of understanding amopg the | world’s business men. can help solve | the international problem of peace. Members of the diplomatic corps and | high government officials were invited | guests of the organization. | “International relationships are pri-| marily business relationships,” Mr. | Sapp asserted. “Most wars are busi- | | ness wars. Most personal misunde standings among the peoples of dif- ferent nations are business misunder- standings. 1f all the business prac- tices and principles were on a high plane there would be little cause for the business men of any nation dis- | trusting the business men, and con- | sequently all men, of the correspond- ing nations.” Solution In Misunderstanding. International difficulties frequently avise hecause nations stand on dif-| premises, the president of | International contended, and | he suggested that problems arising | between nations usually can be solved | when there is a mutual understand- ng of the |~ “Rotary | terent s not a miracle-perform- ing organization,” Mr: Sapp said 1t cannot and will not work any sudden miracles of peace. We interested primarily in the exte of the principle of service. ‘He profits most who serves best' is no idl | motto, It meahs tly what it |says. ‘It is a_principle good for the individlual and a principle which is good for the individual is worth while for the Nation. fter all is sald and done, a | Rotarian is a business man and if he | sxtends to his own business the ideals lof service, and that ideal of service becomes a working force in any nation, Rotary will have started a leaven, which will permeate the whole ind fabric of that nation.” | Greeting the envoys of foreign na- | tions who were the guests of the local | club, Mr. Sapp said their presence at | a Rotary function was a splendid tri ute to Rotary, which he said, is no longer “American,” but ‘“interna- tional.” The speaker told the local club and | its guests that one of his outstanding | | conclusions at the recent termination of a four-month tour of the countries |of Europé is that “thé peace and prosperity of the world will not come | by the lessening of the patriotic im- | | pulse, but rather by the increasing of | patriotism among all men and all na- | tions.” Service Is Patriotism's Ba: | “The basis of Rotarianism is good citizenship,” Mr. Sapp asserted, and | citizenship, he said, cannot be sep-| arated from patriotism and the “‘prin- | ciple of patriotism is the principle of | service—service to one's government and the flag which represents it, service to the king, the emperor or the president.” Reviewing briefly the past year of Rotary International's activities, Mr. | Sapp said he believed its outstanding | accomplishment was the founding of a | | club in Germany indicating the found- | ing of greater understanding between | the peoples who recently were enemies, | and illustrating the truth of his earlier | | contention that “the progress of the | | world demands crises.” On his European tour, Mr. Sapp said he found evidence everywhere | of amiable feeling toward the United States, an indication, he suggested, of greater international understanding.
