¢ + ‘ L) . . LEE BIRTHPLAGE - PLANS DESCRIBED General Only Civil War Lead- er to Escape Abuse, Hawes Says in Air Address. Senator Harry B. Hawes of Missouri, 4n a radio address last night sponsored by the Robert E. Lee Memorial Founda- tion, described the movement to restore Stratford Hall, the birthplace of Gen. Lee. He was introduced to the radio audience by Mrs. Charles D. Lanier, president of the foundation. Pointing out that a group of women living in Greenwich, Conn. conceived the idea of preserving the home of the Confederate leader, Senator Hawes said that women have led in these move- ments. “They seem to have something indescribable—a persuasive way—of vis- ualizing and accomplishing their patri- otic purpose,” he said. Senator Hawes' address was part of & program in celebration of the anni- versary of the birth of Gen. Lee. The Senator, whose father and uncles fought under Lee in the Army of Northern Virginia, paid tribute to the Confederate le: and the part the Lee family has played in history. “It is a remarkable fact,” he said, “that Northern commanders, Northern #oldiers and Northern historians have mever abused Gen. Lee. All the leaders of the Civil War on both sides have been criticized and attacked with the sole exception of Gen. Lee.” Senator Hawes' address was broadcast locally from Station WRC.

A chamber music group new to Washington audiences, presented a pro- gram in the Elizabeth Coolidge Founda- tion Hall in the Library of Congress Saturday afternoon. Although the weather was so uninviting, an audience that taxed the standing room capacity of the audi‘orium attendgd and showed considerabie enthusiasm. The Cleveland String Quartet is com- of Josef Fuchs and Rudolph Ringwall, violinists; Carlton Cogley, viola player, and Victor de Gomez violoncelllist, They were assisted in & quintet by Arthur Loesser, pianist. On this occasion, the ~Cleveland String Quartet may be said to have shown earnest, intelligent co-operation in the necessary qualifications for good ensemble work. They did not seem particularly inspired. ~The opening quartet, Mozart'’s written in E flat major (K. 428; 1783), seemed rather heavy and the tone color contrasts were given with emphasis. The minuet was the happlest of the four movements for interpretation. If there is one out- standing quality to Mozart’s music it is a charming buoyancy. The quartet showed to much better | advantage in _the modern Quartet in F Major,” written in 1921 | by Vittorio Rieti, a young Italian, who was born in Cairo. The first, allegro, movement of this work, had a tantaliz- ing suggestion of jazz in its syncopated rhythms and oft-repeated phrases. The nocturne was subtle and charming and the finale was very interesting in the way in which it developed earlier themes. “Quintet for Piano and Strings,” written by Ernest Bloch in 1923, sug- gested the bold decisive manner char- acteristic of this composer. It is a work that should be heard several times to give the hearer real compre- hension. The mysterious quality of the second movement—"andante mistico”— offered perhaps the Joveliest moments of the entire afternoon, the players seem- ing to catch most happily the inspira- tion of the composer. The finale was brilliantly played. Mr. Loesser is noted for his ability as an interpreter of the moderns in ensemble work especially, and he showed his usual facility in reading what was obviously a most exacting score. H. F. A SONG RECITAL. An audience of about 200 attended the song recital presented under the auspices of Dr. Hugh Roberts, president of the Washington College of Music, at the college buildings last Friday night. Dr. Harold Dudley opened the pro- gram with Handel's “Where'er You ‘Walk.” His baritone voice sounded to advantage in this number. Betty Gray gave an interesting vocalized arrange- ment of Chopin’s “CeHo Etude,” ‘made by Mme. Litvinne of the Conservatory at Fontainbleau, France, where Mrs. Gray studied last Summer. She also showed artistic merit in her singing of Arensky's “But Lately in Dance.” Philip McLean, tenor, gave Fox's “The ‘Wanderer” with dramatic color. The diction was unusually cleag in Adele Delano’s singing of two charfhing num- bers. Ensemble work of marked accord wag shown in the duet from Massenet's “Thais,” sung by Lucy Street and Joseph Barbecot. Following this, Evelyn Sheridan met the dramatic demands of Puceini’s “Un bel Di” admirably. Mr. Barbecot appeared in two Russian solos to good effect and later sang the Diaz arioso, “L'Arte Immortelle,” with char- acteristic dignity of style. Mamie Rouse gave charm to her interpretation of the (;l:muta Jjewel song from Gounod's In decided contrast was Alice Huber’s mezzo-soprano voice in the Salome air from “Herodiade” by Massenet; it may have lacked in dramatic intensity, but it was generally a good performance. Lucy Street, holder of a Robert scholar- ship this year, sang the Duparc “L'In- vitation au Voyage” with sincerely fine effort. Catherine Benson played accompani- ments for all the singers with sympa- c and musicianly style. BOLIVIANS ATTACK PARAGUAYAN FORT Negotiations Dealt Shock by Early-Morning Surprise With Two Dead. By the Associated Press. ASUNCION, Paraguay, January 20.— Grav2 concern was felt here today be- cause of government advices that Bo- livizn troops had attacked the Para- guayan fort of Isla Pol, located on an island in the Paraguayan River about 250 miles northwest of Asuncion. The council of ministers met today to con- sider the situation. The attack oc- curred last Thursday, but beyond sparse official information details were lacking. The Bolivians were said here to have attacked and to have been dispersed, losing one man. The Paraguayans also lost one. The ministry of war issued the fol- lowing statement: “The officer commanding the fourth infantry regiment informs the ministry of war that at 2 p.m. last Thursday a Bolivian military patrol made a sur- prise attack ‘on the Paraguayan fort, Isla Poi, otherwise known as Fort Cacique Ramon. Casualties Are Light. “Latest reports state that one soldier was killed on each side, the attackers were repulsed and dispersed. The Para- guayans continue in n of Fort Isla Pol. The same report states that the Bolivians continue frequently pa- trolling this sector, but otherwise there have been no new developments.” Previous reports received here sald that the Bolivians had been routed and that they had retreated to Bogueron, scene of previous disturbances. The at- tacking party was sald to have spent some time prior to their attack spying on the fort. Terms Being Considered. ‘The attack occurred at a time when Bolivia and Paraguay were attempting to adjust their differences over the vast territory known as the Chaco Boreal through a conciliation = commission agreed upon last year after a Para- guayan atf on the Bolivian fort Vanguardia, The negotiations for settlement re- cently reached a stage where the Bo- livians were to agree to rets Fort Boqueron, which they took as a coui- termeasure, and the s to re- turn Fort Vanguardia. Neither of the two nations were willing to be first in complying with the terms of the agree- ment, however, and matters hung there while public sentiment in both coun- tries against the other became warmer.
