Music lovers were well rewarded by the wonderful work of the singers who, banked high on the stage, some one hundred and thirty | voices, portrayed the great ecffect of their training and rehearsals. Beginning with the solemn Kyrie of Gounod's beautiful “Messe Solen- nelle,” and working on down through the ma into the Gloria and the Credo, balancing and pitching the softness and powerful strains one vinst the other, the choiristers ched a glorious climax in the man- er in which they rendered the anctus and then the fervent Bene- dictus. So long as there are such musical festivals as this, so long as those who live and love the work of | the great masters are afforded oppor- tunity to hear music of this caliber, te live through the wonderful blend- ing o voices in bighest harmon Britain need never fear for its artistic 2nd aesthetic existence. The three soloists who lent their aid to the phalanx of ous workers are deserving of the highest praise. When called upon they reached heights of perfection. Mme. Corinne Rider- Kelsey is possessed of a beautiful so- prano voice, one with a remarkable range, that registers in the higher and lower scales with the same ease. the sume shadings and delicacies that is demanded for such artistry. John Barnes Wells, who led the tenors, stood well to the' fore whencver those intricate passages of harmony were presented to him, won himself a place in the hearts of New Britain devotees of singing and will ever be welcomed here again. None the less has IFrancis Rogers carved a niche for himself in cal circles of New Britain. Aside from his wonderful work in Gounod’'s a he further added to the appreciation of his work by the| rendition of three songs, one of whl("h was written and dedicated (o him, ‘ Invictus”. His other two song: received, were “So Sweet She is “The Fairy Pipers.” Mme. Rider Relsey received her chance to display those wonderful vo- cal powers thatare hers when she ren- dered her solos. Mr. Wells was also well received in his solo work. The Boston Festival Orchestral Club composed of John W. Crowley, first violin; Bernard J. Holmbersg, second violin; Wilhelm A, Hochheim, viola; Carl Webster, violintello; Richard N. Davis, basso; Kenneth' M. Blake, flute; George W. Stewart, trombone; S. Howard Orcutt, clarinet; and Walter Smith, trumpet, aided materially in the success of the concert. To Edward F. Laubin of Hartford, who conducted the festi- val, must go the praise and thanks of all those persons interested in the fu- ture of this Choral Society. Its first step presages greater attempts in the future. WEEK-END LIMIT FOR ANSWER T0 U. 3. ULTIMATUM (Continued From First Page.) can army and naval officers found in the Sussex screw bolts corresponding to those used in German torpedoes, identificaiton marks on these bolts corresponding with those on German torpedoes in the possession of the Trench government. The 'American officers also found thirteén pieces of metal which they have identified as parts of German torpedoes. Copies of the note have-been sent to the representatives here of heutral nations. g Senator Kern, majority ieader in the senate, said at the White House today he believed there was a general dis- position in the senate not to discuss Tresident Wilson’s address on the note to Germny. Discussion, he said, could do no good and might do harm, llc added that no action on the part of congress was called for and he aid not expect that any would be taken. Von Bernstorfi’s Visit. Count Von Bernstorff, the German | ambassador, went to the state depart- ment today for a conference with Secretary Lansing on the submarine warfare situation and also to discuss the arrest in New York of Wolfe Von Igel, secretary of former German Mil- itary Attache Von Papen. Secretary Lansing and the German ambassador were in conference fully twenty minutes. After the ambassa- dor left, the secretary would make no statement. Secretary Lansing said today Am- bassador Gerard had not up to that } time notified the department the | receipt of the Americ note, al- though press dispatches announced its arrival la evening. Neither had Mr. Gerard reported having reccived from the German foreign office other memorandum on case, as reported in pre Whether all German consular agents would and such American cons; tatives in Germany recalled in diplomatic relations are severed we discussed by state department offi- cials. It was stated that a rupture would not necessarily extend to con- suls although diplomatic custom gen- erally included such officials. Explaining the expression in the United States note regarding severing relation “altogether,” it was officially of case : stated that the word was used to add emphasis to the note and also indicate this government's intention and re- quest the recall of Germany's diplo- matic and consular officials. It was said that in some diplomatic breaches the nation taking the initiative had recalled its ambassadors without dis- missing the foreign envoy accredited to it, but it was understood that if a break eccurs with Germany both Ambassadors Bernstorff and Gerard undoubtedly would be affected. Think Quick Reply Impossible, After the conference between Lansing and Bernstorff it was learned that German diplomats regard the receipt of a reply from Germany within two or three days as phys cally impossible. Tt was thought a reply could not be received here be- fore ten days. It was pointed out that Easter Monday is a holiday in Germany and that necessary con- sultations of officials would cause almost another week to elapse before thie German decision could be trans- mitted here.
