Special Dispatch to The Star. BETHLEHEM, Pa. May 11—The| Bach Choir of Bethlehem, undoubtedly | the most famous choral organization in | the United States, opened the twenty- | third Bach festival in Packer Memorial | Church on the campus of Lehigh | University yesterday afternoon before | an audience which packed the church | to its capacity of 1,200 seats and stand- ing room limits, while meny were turned away who sought seats weeks in advance. | This was a doubly momentous occa- | sion. It is seven years since the remarkable score, “The Passion Accord- | ing to St. Matthew” has been given in | a Bach festival. This year is the 200th anniversary of its initial production in St. Thomas' Church in Leipzig, Ger- many, where it given on Good Friday, April 15, 1729. Because of this second centenary of iis first perform- ance, Leipzig is holding a Bach festival of ifs own on very prctentious lines, June 8 to 10, this year. The other outstanding feature of the presentation of the passion music this year is the wnitial use of the entire bass section of the Bach Choir for the singing of th2 passages ascribed to “Jesus,” instead of the solo voice. Gives Dignity to Words. Dr. J. Fred Wolle, director of the | choir, and one of the world's authorities on tl'e works of Bach, has stated this | method gives more dignity and weight of volume to the words of the Saviour, and takes away the personality of a| single singer. As heard yesterday, this proved a decidedly admirable feature and seemed to win the approbaticn of the entire sudience. It was most smpressive. The whole of the two sessions yes- terday were devoted to the passion music. Beginning at 4 o'clock, Eastern standard time, and with an intermission from 6 till 8 for dinner and rest: then. resuming at the latter hour, it continued | till 10 pm. A feature was the memorial | chorale from Easter music of Bach, | hummed at the beginning of the second alf. . Today, as has become the custom, the | ‘most marvelous of all Joharm Sebuthl: Bech's works—the “Mass in B Minor, which has been conceded by many mu- sic authorities to be the greatest music written to date, will be given its annual prescntation. It has become traditional to give the mass on Saturday at en festival, varying the music scores to be presented on Friday performances, al- though, of coruse, all works given are written by the great master—Bach. Festival Spirit Provided. ‘Washington has been one of the few places outside Bethlehem privileged to hear the Bach Choir. However, once one is actualy on the territory to which the choir is_indigenous it is easy to realize why Dr. Wolle hesitates to take it elsewhere. In the delightful atmos- phere of Bethlehem, in spite of its pow- erful smokekstacks and steel works, the true festival spirit, such as is found abroad, may be achieved. It is a peace- ful setting, far from rush and modern- day civilization's noisy confusion. The Packer Memorial Church is only a short walk from the quaint old build- ings that form the nucleus of the Moravian settlement with their indi- vidual customs and quiet dignity bred of carefully balanced convictions. The Packer Church itself is clothed in lovely ivy and its arched towered belfry, where trombone choir plays the old chorales of twelfth to seventeenth century, inspiration has a charm. It is the custom for the festival pilgrims to gather slowly and gradually and stand or sit about the beautiful hilly lawns of the surrounding the church grounds to listen to the trombone choir half an hour before the actual perform- ance of the larger work is to begin. Gentle Movement of Crowd. ‘Then, as the last notes of the last chorale are dying on the air—marvelous, balmy, sunny air—yesterday the crowd shine follows, subdued and rainbow- tinted, through the stained glass win- dows. The central panel of a trypitch of windows behind the choir of 300 volce? bears a picture of the ascending Christ as visioned to his apostles. Slim, magnetic, Dr. Wolle appears before his choir, divided into sopranos on the left, tenors, baritonesand basses in the center section and altos on the right. The women all wear white, which is very effective. The members of the Phila- delphia Symphony Orchestra group are on either side of Dr. Wolle and above the audience. The choir, too, is raised on a graduated platform. The organist SPECIAL NOTICES. WANTED _TO HAUL A VANLOAD' OF FUR: niture to Predericksburg or Richmond, Va., M 3. Snowden.

Soloists All Interesting. The soloists yesterday all were in- teresting. Washington, as usual, sup- plies the leading basso—Charles Trow- bridge Tittman, whos: authority in singing Bach's works in traditiona style is well known. Mr. Tiltmann had | most_difficult music in the air. “The Saviour, Low Before His Father Bend- | ing.” And he acquitted himself well. ! }-49 sang a full concert just the day be- | ore.

Grace Divine, the young alto, singing her part for the| first time, was obviously a litile nervous at the beginning, but she soon gained in confidence and her tone quality was lovely. She sang beautifully in the | second half. - David Hottle, a Bethlehemite, ac- quitted himself especially well in_the role of Judas. The other soloists, Elsie McDowell, Elizabeth Pollock, Mrs. Robert Barron, Hilda Neff, Charles Hagey, Robert Fenstermacher, Howard Wiegner, Arthur Ward, Richard Degray and Robert Crawford, all did their smaller parts admirably. The chorus was superb throughout. Thirty Attend From Capital. About 30 Washingtonians made the trip_to hear the festival performances in Bethlehem. They included, in ad- dition to Mr. Tittmann, the bass soloist, | and Miss Lucy Brickenstein, one of the original members of the Bach Choir and Washington's most eminent Bach authority; James M. Beck, Mrs. Walter Bruce Howe, Miss Katherine Arlisle, Miss Helen Nicolay, Mrs. Franklin Ellis, Mrs. James Dunn, Miss Katherine Riggs, Mrs. Beatrice Taylor, Miss Amelia Mac- fayden, Miss Lillian Williamson, Mrs. J.

S. Is in Position to Dictate Terms for Naval Power Reduction. Insisting that tonnage is the best measure of naval strength, because | every additional ton ‘'in a ship's design increases her power in some way, Rear Admiral William L. Rodgers, U. 8. N., retired, is quoted in today's issue of the Army and Navy Journal as believing that it is very difficult to decide on a formula for evaluating relative naval strength. This interview, in connection with naval developments at Geneva, it was explained, quotes Admiral Rodgers as saying that “until we see the precise formula we shall not know whose posi- tion has been altered in order to accept a new ratio of naval strength.” New Formula Seen as Screen. ‘The interview follows: “In 1921, before the meeting of the ‘Washington Conference for Limitation of Armaments, the Navy Department directed the technical experts to select a ‘yardstick’ for the comparison of ships and navies of the different powers. Nothing was found so satisfactory as tonnage displacement, -and - this ‘yard- stick’ was readily accepted by all. “If it is asked why another method of measure is now sought, the answer is that it will not measure comparative values any better than tonnage, but that perhaps some of the disputants may find it convenient to conceal an essential change in their political stand behind the screen of a new formula. “This country has a stronger posi- tion than any other about reduction. Mr. Hoover has said that he wants a reduction, and he only has to state his verms and say that if the other powers do not agree this country will out- build them. ¢ ” “Must Accept Our Terms.” “Their anxiety is to limit the power | of the United States, but they are no',l rich, and if they really want reduction | they must accept our terms or come near to doing so, or else see us go be- yond them. “A formula from Mr. Hoover, with a demand for a handsome reduction, has the advantage that the formula offers may conceal from their peoples that they are going to change their position, but if there is any formula, no doubt this country will make it, for we should lose on any other country’s formula. " “Tonnage is the best measure of naval strength. Tonnage measures the power of ships; the more tons the more power, either for speed or for combaf.. But beyond this a formula can tell us nothing.” UNION'S PROTEST ... BEFORE GOVERNOR drawal of Troops Follows Home Bombing. By the Associated Press.

You understand, 1 refuse to speak of a possible retreat.” Then, on that same day, he called on Clemenceau with a letter in which he had set out his opinion: “Nothing is ready.” ‘The President replied: “You are de- serting me.” wri deserting you. but we must have a su- preme command, otherwise we shall be on the verge of disaster.” On the following day, as he was on the point of starting for Abbeville to meet the English, Clemenceau tele- phoned him: “There is a war councll at_Compiegne.” “What about Abbeville?" ‘Send Weygand there.” “At Compiegne the meeting took place in a villa on the outskirts of the town, because the latter was being bombarded. Things were going badly! Haig was not there, and we could not arrive at any agreement. Frowns on Early Proposal. ““We agreed to meet on the following day, and returned to Paris. I was at my home, in the Avenue de Saxe, when Weygand called to tell me what he bad heard from Field Marshal Haig and Wilson. The latter had gone back to Versailles, but he called on me the same evening to tell me: ‘This is the proposal: M. _.smenceau will be in supreme command, with Gen. Foch as his chief of staff. *“*That will not work',” I said. “‘M. Clemenceau knows nothing of leading armies or directing battles! Who then will take charge of affairs? There will be decisions to take—who will take them? Clemenceau will say: ‘I agree with Haig and Petain’ But it is not a matter of agreeing with them. He must command. Who will assume the responsibility? No, it will not work”.” Foch definitely accepted his respon- sibilities. “We are about to try to create events, not to submit to them.” The night passed. They met again on the following day at Doullens. Th= position was examined: “There is not a foot of ground to lose. It is neces- sary to cling to what hold.

Above all, do not give the troops a line on which to fall back, otherwise they will tend to retire too precipi- tately.” Lord Milner and Gen. Halg arrived. It was then pmgosed to give Gen. Foch the command in the Amiens sec- tor. “No, on the whole western front,” said Haig. Foch Accepts Command. Every one agreed. “I am to co-ordi- nate? Very well!” Foch accepted. On the way to lunch, Clemenceau came and said to him: “Well! You have had your own way.” “Yes! A nice mess! You give me a lost battle, and tell me to win it.” “Anyhow, you have got what you wanted!” - ‘To his' wife, who was perturbed at seeing him shoulder so heavy a bur- den, Foch merely replied, “God grant that it may not be too late.” On the evening of March 26, on re- turning to his G. H. Q. the general- issimo met at Dury, Gen. Gough, com- manding the 5th Army, which, having been broken through in front of Saint- Quentin, had had to fall back from the Somme-Peronne line. “What are you doing here?” “I was waiting for you.” “You should not wait for me in that way .without doing anything, or else your corps commanders will be on your heels, and every one will stampede. Go forward; the whole line will stand fast, and so will your own men.” “Let Nothing Go,” He Says. “You see how matters stood when I assumed the comand of the allied armies in 19187 The Germans at- tacked at the point of juncture be- capital. They said to me: “There are the Channel ports and Paris. Which are you going to defend—the ports or Paris?” ‘Both’ ‘But If you have to let one or the other go?’ ‘I shall let nothing go.’ “What was to be done? We could not afford to lose a yard of ground, and, above all, it was necessary to maintain liaison with the allies. To do_that, the first thing to do was to hold ‘the enemy and to stand fast. ‘There was only one method of doing this—to reorganize, cost what it might. Then we must counter-attack to break down offensives.” He -set. up his quarters at Beauvais, in the middle of the theater of oper- -ations: The battle of Amiens fol- lowed.

Wait a couple of days!” “I replied to | Fayolle, ‘Let him go ahead!'” i Negative as their results might seem at the time, these two and a half months had changed the course of the war. Early in June Gen. Foch moved his quarters to Bombon, a chateau situated in a remote part of the great plain of the Tle-de-France, to the southeast of Paris. “Silence is necessary for the concentration of ideas.” On July 15 at 4:15 am., the Ger- mans opened a great drive between Chateau-Thierry and Massiges. The new defensive tactics proved to de won- derfully successful. To the east of Rhetms, by noon, Gouraud's army was master of the situation. From now onward, Foch held the upper hand. Second Battle of Marne Won. On July 18, he released his counter- offensive, which he had foreseen and prepared for. Five French armies, holding the enemy in a formidable grip, compelled him hastily to fall back across the Marne. “Thus, on July 24, 1919, said the marshal, “six days after the counter offensive had opened, I had assembled my commanders-in-chief and had given them my plan. They all thought me mad. I said to thes ‘We will meet again in four days, and you will rcport to me in writing.’ Four days later, they had all moved forward.” On August 4 the second victory of the Marne had been won. Soissons and Chateau-Thierry had been recaptured, and Paris freed. On August 7, Gen. Foch was made marshal of France. The following day, August 8, was a “day of mourning for the German Army. The Canadians and _ Aus- tralians in Rawlinson's 4th British Army, and Debeney’s 1st French Army, attacked between Amiens and Montdidier. They dislodged the enemy at certain points driving him back 15 kilometers. Marshal Foch moved his G. H. Q. to Sarcus, between Amiens and Beauvais. Being visited there by Gen. Pershing, he urged him to carry out as soon as pos sible the operations contemplated in the Woevre. The result was that the Paris-Amiens railway line was freed, the Montdidier salient reduced, 40,000 prisoners and 700 'ulr.il Clptllug.l ere are his comments on his at- tempt to avold the same error as the Germans: “Is the mainspring broken?
