SCOTCHMEN PAY TRIBUTE 70 BURNS (lan Douglas Holds Anniversary Banquet and Concert Clan Douglas, Order of Scottish Clans, observed the 170th anniver- sary of the birth of Robert Burns last night in Red Men's hall with & banquet, concert and dance. The address of the evening was delivered by Rev. 8. A, Miske of Ber- lin, who lauded the spirit and keen- ness of concept of the great author, whose works thrilled the world and became gems of literature, handcd down from generation to generation like an heirloom—proud and loved by the entire world. “Burns had unusual ability,” tha speaker said, “he understood nature and mankind, understood the moods of man and having suffered and lov- ed he was in a position to appeal for the common rights of man, De- spite reversals in his life, he always faced the music and therefore cre- ated an individuality in his works that is rare. His poems and songs are lively and life-giving, ringing with passion, love and sincerity. He | was & singer of songs which were sct on fire by his own emotions and passions. He had a virile spirit and became really great in the realm of Iyric songs, that have lived through the long years and will continue to live as true examples of love, pas- sion, and individuality, unrivaled and everlasting. He thrilled the world, which is grateful to him for the gems of his genius and as long as mankind exists, it will honor the memory of the great bard of Scot- land.” The remainder of the program consisted of songs by a quartet and soloists—appropriate for the occa- sion from the album of lyrics by .the great poet whose memory was honored. The first, “There Was a Lad Was Born in Kyle” was sung by the quartet, followed by two tenor solos by Duncan Coghill, who sang “Star o' Rabbie Burns” and “March of the Cameron Men.” Mrs, John Btevenson, soprano, - cxt rendercd the famous “Annie Laurie” and “My Heart is 8Salr.” Miss Florence Ost- ontralto, sang “Angus Mac and “Bonnie Sweet Bessle, and John Thomson, baritone, heard in “Scots What Hae” and "My Nanny's Awa'” The concluding selection, “O Wrst Thou in the Cauld Blast” and “Life's Dream is O’er” were sung by Mrs. John Stev- enson and Miss Florence Ostlun: “Auld Lang Syne” was sung by the | audience.

Senator McKellar, democrat, Ten- nessee, sponsored a resolution yes- terday for an investigation into the ship sale and it was carried without a record vote, although Senator Jones of Washington, chairman of the commerce committee protested. Jones said in his opinion the gov- ernment would neier again receive as favorable a bid for its fleet and added that the adoption of the res- olution might endanger the comple- tion of the proposed sale. Paul W. Chapman, Inc., had bid $16,000,000 for the 13 ships, which constitute the entire American pas- senger fleet plying between New York and Englan<, France and Ger- many. McKellar in proposing his.reso- lution said he understood that the sale was to be consummated today and argued that the board was rush- ing the transaction through in an irregular manner. He said it was not going through the regular pro- cedure of submitting the bids to the Emergency Fleet corporation for an analysis. Under the resolution the inquiry would be made by the commerce committee but no date was fixed by Chairman Jones for beginning the investigation. W. H.

ROOT WILL MAKE WORLD COURT TOUR Understnding on Amercan Reservations {o B Objct Washington, Feb. 7 (P-—Adher. ence by the United States to the world court may depend on the suc- cess of an unofficial diplomatic mission to be undertaken by Elihu Root, former secretary of state and an authority on international law. Mr. Root will seek an understanding among world powers on America’s reservations to the court. The senate voted adherence to the court three years ago, but it also voted reservations that the other powers have not accepted. One res- ervation that other countries have balked at was a stipulation which would deny the right of the court to render advisory opinion involving the United States without the previ- ous consent of this country to con- sideration of the case. Some international lawyers be- lieve the court already is bound to render to advisory opinion without the unanimous consent of the coun- cil of the League of Nations. In that case, all the other nations have the right with regard to advisory opin- ions that is asked by the' United Stal Main Obstacle It also is believed by wome that it the American reservations re- garding-advisory opinions was ac- cepted, the biggest stumbling block in the way of adherence by this country to the court would be re- moved. . President Coolidge not long ago made it known that he desired an- other canvass of the world pow- ers to see whether the way was not stil' open for an understanding on the reservations by the United States and Mr. Root plans to under- take that canvass. Recently he was named a mem- bers of the committee to revise the rules of the world court and heard an important part of framing the world court protocol. terday and while quick action plus safety . .
