Like the action of France in sending Maurice Capitaine from her caj to ours as an amb dor of song, the action of these several countries, through their ambassadors, sets a precedent in the history of our international relations and in the development of art in America. There is, { this alliace, no question of might of arms or com- merce, but oly the greater power of friendship.” ‘With five of the most important em- bassies in the National Capital as well es a powerful group of important American men and women vitally in- terested as sponsors, the coming inter- national festival promises to be one of the most brilliant social events of the vear.
