COMING MUSICAL
SOCIETY EVENT
Recital OF Richmond Choral So
ciety at Academy Will Be
Rare Treat.
AN ATTRACTIVE PROGRAMME
Some of Best Talent in City Will
Sing in Chorus-Madam
Szumowski Pianist.

The Richmond Choral Society will hold
Its initial recital at the Academy OF
Music during the evening OF February
sth. Behind this cold announcer MT lies
the struggle for existence OF Richmond's
little world OF musicians, and the re-
eital itself is one more point gained in
the fight for higher musical standards in
this city. Tho men and women who have
given their efforts towards establishing
and creating an interest in the art Of
music. have met with many trials. The
Did Mozart Association that lived here
many years ago. including within It's in
fuence magnificent orchestra OF forty
trained musicians. died natural death
through lack OF public interest. From It's
lshes arose the Wednesday Club. which
has grown In strength year after year.
Now younger society has come to lend
hand In the fight for music as an art.
Not a society antagonistic to the We'd
,esday Club or other musical societies,
but one that will work in harmony with
Them and strive to attain the same end
!he establishment OF Richmond as q mu-
steal center.
On Friday night the executive commit
tee OF the Richmond Choral Society held
meeting, at which 1t was decided to
increase the Importance of the recital of
February Sth by adding the feature of a
full orchestra Of competent musicians,
and. with this feature assured, the sue
cess of the evening of February sth. from
a musical standpoint, is absolutely GER
tain.
The initial recital of the Choral Society
Is in every way one of the most i'm
portant musical events of years. The
full chorus of the society, numbering up
wards OF hundred voices. augmented by
strong orchestra. is in itself a suffl-
Client attraction TO demand a large and
representative audience. but the appear
ance In conjunction with the chorus OF
three musicians, stars OF national repu-
tation, should guarantee 1t.
An Attractive Programme.
The programme will include three dIv-
sions. The first will be the cantata by
Bach. "sleepers, Awake sung by u full

Ed. Moscrip, the sage of LaValley,

and a reck-ribbed republican, but he
can't go the machine politics of the
party any longer. He wants the party
free from corporation domination and
ring rule and then the grand old
party will again be an honor to those
grand old leaders who made it. Mr..
Moscrip is thoroughly disguised with
men who call themselves republicans
and serve alone the corporations and
trusts, and deny the people the right
of petition. He stands square.

According to James Bryca. 00nbss
OF parliament and authee 0f IN
American Commonwealth" whose opiss-
Ion on almost any subject b worthy
Of consideration. the reasons which i'm
pei Great Britain to maintain a navy
equal to that Of any other two power
do not exist with respect to the United
ststee The two nations occupy posi-.
tions which differ essentially at all
points. In \ naval war. he declares.
victory will no, go ultimately to the
nation which commands the largest
navy. but to the one which commands
the largest resources.
Great Britain obtains her food from
abroad. and that necessitates the main-
tenance OF the largest merchant neet
In the world. The United States pro-
duces almost everything II consumes,
and Its merchant marine is compare
lively insignificant. Without great
nect Great Britain would be open to
Invasion against which her compara-
lively small land force could not stand.
The invasion OF America by foreign
power is practically impossible. for ii
cannot be struck at a vital point Th.,
most that an enemy holding the sea
could do against her would be to de-
stroy some of her maritime cities and
send squadrons up some Of her larger
rivers, and these squadrons would not
be likely to return.
Mr.. Bryce is equally skept!cal as to
the necessity of great American navy
In order to enforce the Monroe doc
trine. His chief argument Is to be
found in the fact that all European ma
tions have come TO the conclusion that
any attempt 10 acquire territory in the
western hemisphere Is chimerical. In
reply to the insistence that n great ma
Wy must be kept ready to defend Uncle
Sans insular possessions Mr.. Bryce
declares that no power could make
such an attack with good prospect OF
ultimate success With its ability to
raise revenue and its inexhaustible
resources the United States would
come out winner in the end. Even the
temporary loss OF control of Its islands
would result In nothing worse than
momentary Inconvenience, for they
would be resained in time In Mr.
Bryce's opinion America is the most
formidable antagonist that any power
could have"
