By the Associated Press. BERLIN, February 6—Disease has cut short a life which triumphed over some of the greatest hazards of war and aviation. i Death came last night to Baron Ehrenfried Gunther von Huenefeld, one of the three men who made the first | westward air passage of the North At- |lantic. He died on the operating table | at a Berlin sanatorium last night as | surgeons sought to remedy a stomach iand intestinal ailment which had {marred his last years. His heart failed to withstand the shock of the operation. Baron von Huenefeld was only 36' years old, but he had an adventurous career of soldier, German monarchist, poet and dramatist, and, finally, aviator. Shrapnel wounds in both legs during the World War left him with a decided limp. As vice consul at Maastricht, and Crown Prince when they sought refuge on Dutch soil, and he later spent several years with the Crown Prince in | his exile on the Island of Wieringen. Of his literary works the drama, “Hagen of Tronje,” based on the Nibe- lungen legend, was most widely known. It was produced in Bremen in 1927. Remembered as Aviator. But it is as aviator he will be re- membered. The flight which brought him prominence took place in April |last year. With Capt. Herman Koehl |and Maj. James Fitzmaurice of the | Saorstaft Air Corps sharing the con- itrols, the three in the plane Bremen ‘flew from Baldonnel Air Field, Dublin, |to Greenley Island, Labrador, where | | they waited two weeks in the ice and | | snow to be taken out. Upon arrival in New York they were {given a tumultuous Broadway ticker- |- | tape welcome. This was repeated when | accorded Baron von Huenefeld once | to Berlin after a transasiatic flight to EJipln. Sickly as Youth. Even in youth, the baron was sickly, and in his last months the illness from Wwhich he suffered inspired unusual dar- ing in his flying and brought an ex- pression of his wish that he die in | action, rather than on a sick bed, a wish which at the last was denied him. The polished suavity of his manner won him friends everywhere. In his later years he wore a monocle almost perpetually, intended, it was said, to hide a partial blindness in one eye.

Back in 1927, when we attempted the first time to fly to America, Von Hueneleld told us he could not live more than a year or two at the most. During our American trip he often ted out his system would not ‘be able to withstand continually the frequent operations on his stomach to which he had to subject himself. “Six days ago, as I was leaving on an out-of-town trip, he telephoned me good-by, and in the course of the con- versation mm:l:: that t:’a.mpl in his stomach gave - ‘excruciating” pain and that he must soon submit to the knife again. “Yet now that I am ’I‘m l;ue W‘lfitl ply canno that he is no more.” S S STy CITY NEWS IN BRIEF.

SIGRID ONEGIN'S RECITAL. One of the greatest artists on the con- cert stage today, Sigrid Onegin, gave her annual recital in Washington at Poli’s Theater yesterday afternoon. The audience was very large and showed marked appreciation of the singer’s artistry in blending personal charm, dramatic ability and excellent vocal ex- pression in German lieder and operatic arias. This gracious and talented con- | tralto is very beautiful, too, which adds |not a little to the success of her pro- grams. Previously she has brought Hugo Wolf, Richard Strauss and un- famillar Mahler songs to Washington | audiences, for which the musicians were exceedingly greatful. The one flaw in her program yesterday was that it did not rise above the usual thing. The | numbers chosen were lovely, but not |unusual. This singer has the capacity | for the more difficult things which can- not be even attempted by the average singer. Immediately Miss Onegin began the liquid phrases of Mozart's “La Clemen- zadl Tito” air, her artistry was shown both in the placement of the high singing tones and the beautiful smooth- ness of transition down the vocal scale into the deep mellow contralto notes. There were two more Mozart numbers and two of Haydn, the latter both in English that was clearly enunciated. A Norwegian “Echo Song” of thezighteenth century was the encore. The real con- tralto beauty of Miss Onegin’s voice came to the fore in the Schubert group with fascinating dramatization of “Die Maenner sind mechant” and the “Erl- koenig,” which Miss Onegin has made her own. There is no singer today heard in the concerts of the past few seasons who can begin to compare with this artist in the interpretation of the three personalities described in this song and the tragedy of the finale. Even Onegin herself has not sung it so well as she did yesterday on previous occasions here. She gave the same composer’s “Die Florelle” as the encore. ‘The highest enthusiasm, amounting CRUISES including HOLY LAND and 5 days in EEYPT with complete shore program 46 i:*393 Imagine such a cruise for $9 a day withall expenses afloat and ashore provided for!

The Verdi air, “O don Fatale” from “Don Carlos” was almost equally successful. As encore Miss Onegin gave the “Gyp- sy Song” from Bizet's “Carmen,” and, as final encore, her own little song of “Farewell.” Franz Rupp was, as al- ways, a métvelous artist in the role of accompanist. HP Joint Glee Club Concert. From the bold outpourings of Geof- frey O'Hara's “Give a Man a Horse He Can Ride”—you remember the finely- flung line “and his heart is great with the pulse of Fate"—to the gentle and melodious_“Songs My Mother Taught Me,” by Dvorak, the program offered last evening in the main ballroom of the Mayflower in joint concert by the Columbia University and George Wash- ington University Glee Clubs was gen- erously garnished with old, but not outworn, favorites. The very opening number, sung by the combined clubs, was that “Integer Vitae,” which has provided the mellow motif of tradition on more than one gle¢ club program, even back in the days when such campus organizations were a cross between a German sangebund and a hit-or-miss harmon- izing outfit. The general high level of college programs then was “Old Ken- tucky Home,” sung with ravishing tenor harmonies, with the emphasis on the sentiment rather than on the music. But_things changed, and now you find Bach_and Handel .and Cesar Franck and Brahms on the programs of any club of pretensions. A good number of these groups have gone abroad to SAUCE will give your dishes that dash of personality which distingnishes the culinary art of the famous chefs.

The annual Intercollegiate Glee Club con- test is sald to have given impetus, through competition, to this flight into higher realms some years back, but it s::.rwd even before that. But, we stray. 'rfie second number by the combined clubs was Bach's “Now Let Every Tongue,” followed by three of the Columbia - Club’s numbers, Handel's “Hallelujah, Amen,” a Brahms “Lullaby” and the “Wassail Song” in a Vaugh- Williams arrangement. Carr Ferguson, tenor soloisi of the George Washington Club, offered “Where'er You Walk” of Handel, and Haydn Wood’s “Do You Know My Gar- den.” Both were well received. ‘The next group of four songs by the George Washington Club included the popular “Pale Moon” and Rosseter Cole’s “Ashes of Roses,” well known to collegiate singers, in addition to “The Merry Frogs” of Speiser and Protheroe’s rhythmic “Song of the Marching Men.” Columbia proffered her bass soloist in the person of Warren E. Traub, who gave “I Attempt From Love’s Sickness to Fly,” by Purcell, and the afore-men- tioned exultation, “Give a Man a Horse He Can Ride,” by O’'Hara. There are not a great many solo selection available for the bass register in this type of con- cert; one thinks of a bit from *‘Phile- mon et Baucis,” which was effective, but not many after all. ‘The Columbia group’s rendition of Bartholomew’s arrangement of “Shen- andoah,” Dvorak's “Songs My Mother Taught Me” and the well known LEA & PERRINS’ BEEF STEW 3 pounds stewing beef. 1 onion. 1 Cut meat from bones and place bones in kettle with water.

This building will house the new dial central office equipment which will supply service to the downtown area now served by Main and Franklin. Q116,453 miles of wire were added, making a total of 551,628 miles now in use. 42 miles of underground duct for cables were laid, making a total of 1186 miles. 99 per cent. of all telephone wires in the District of Columbia are now in cables which pro- _ tect the service from interruption by storm. €126,951 telephones were installed, and 20,176 disconnected, making a net in- crease of 6775 telephones for the year. In the District of Columbia there is now one telephone to every 3.4 people. @QService connection charges—the charges made in connection with the installation and change in location of telephones— were substantially reduced, thus encourag- ing the installation of more telephones, which increases the value of the service to all subscribers. ) The Information Service was further im- proved, resulting in a saving of time and in greater convenience to our subscribers. N The speed and accuracy of handling both Idcal and out-of-town messages were substantially increased. On calls to many out-of-town points, one can now give the number to the operator and secure the connection without having to hang up the receiver. @QExperienced employees of the company made a total of 3000 visits to the private branch exchanges of subscribers for the purpose of keeping their operators ad- vised as to improved operating practices. These were some of the things done during the year 1928, But there is no standing still in the Bell System. Better and better tele- phone service at the lowest cost is the goal.
