WANAMAKER URGES PEACE
Says Newspapers Are as
Mighty as the Military.

Philadelphia. Dec. 10. Speaking at a
testimonial banquet to Governor-elect
Brumbaugh tonight, John Wsnamaker
declared that the citizens of the United
States had been blessed with a new
vision, and added;
mot one OF the states is any longer
patiently content 20 have its Legislature
manipulated by federal officeholders or
by either end Of the Capitol at Wash
ington. Pennsylvania IS now fully
equipped with competent men and
quietly and firmly determined TO see
that its affairs are honestly conducted
for the wellbeing Of all It's people
Mr.. Wanamaker then paid tribute
to newspapers, which, he said. were as
mighty as the military. He added:
Newspapers are believable, and are
almost the only things that are read
these days. They are at great cost TO
educate us, and their responsibilities
are tremendous. They are as mighty
as the military and as sleepless and
far-reaching as the light of the morn
ing.
"And IL all the great newspapers,
whose work goes on twenty-four hours
Of every day were 20 unite and use all
their forces 70 strike each hour Of the
twenty-four hours of these closing days
of the year the notes of peace, would
not those notes thunder around the
world, as did the words of our great
commander, General L. S. Grant. amid
the noise of the battle, when he said,
Let US have peace

Brooklyn Friends Circulate
Petition to Georgia Governor.

A petition asking for the pardon OF
Leo VI. Frank. who is awaiting execu-
ton in Atlanta for the murder OF Mary

in Brooklyn.
After expressing the conviction that
n technically Of law bars with a hand
of steel the influx of light and reason,
the petition declares that substantial
injustice has been done to the con

NINE. FREMSTAD
in FOLK SONGS
Soprano Gives Interesting
Recital at Carnegie
Hall.

Nine Olive Fremstad, VINO until TINS
season Illuminated for many years the
Wagnerian heroines at the Metropoll-
tan Opera House, gave song recitai
Yesterday afternoon AT Carnegie Hall
Nine. Fremstad's departure from the
field q opera WAS one of those mex
p!icable things IN which that particular
field a1ounds. 1t is certain that the
Metropolitan mas not yet found her
successor, though We must await the
aGve... Of Melenie Kurt. We remember
her Isolde, her Brunnhilde. her Sieg-
linde, her Kundry, her Venus. her Ar

Al, very coed the younger generation
the generation that knew not Lehman
and to whom Fremstad was their ava
tai in all these parts, may see her IKE
again, but, alas, the gods who rule IN
Helicon are not always good! Yet
Nine. Fremstad is still with US, and the
audience which greeted her yesterday
proved that she still holds her place IN
our esteem.
II would be idle to assert that Nine.
Fremstad finds her allotted place on
the concert platform. She is too
fundamentally woman OF the the
atre, too primarily singing actress. 70
be altogether at home in the restricted
atmosphere of this more intimate form
of art. She has always been an actress
trained in the grand manner and
mistress of that manner, and II is but
natural that the more subtle nuances
Of lieder singing should constrain and
irritate her. Yet she proved yester-
day that a true artist and a fine mu-
stefan can please in any field.
Nine. Fremstad was in excellent voice
in her middle and lower registers; her
upper was less admirable. She was, IN
short, once more the meZZo-soprano
whose reaches she had deserted for the
heights upon which dwelt Isolde and
Brunnhilde. Her group of Schumann
songs was not of great interest; her
Griegs, which she sang In their origirvl
language, of greater. There was a
group by Hugo Wolf, a number OF folk
songs, among which she included. per-
haps TO the surprise of the judlcious,
"Tenting on the Old Camp Ground,
and a final group OF Tschsikowsky,
Sibelius, Sjogren and Weingartner. In
all of them she proved herself the
mistress Of tone color she ever has
been, all of them she sang with SYM
patty and feeling. If in many of them
the ultimate note was lacking, if often
there came the regret that she was not
singing with the accessories Of costume
and scenic setting, we were grateful
that we were able to hear her at all. In
whatever she undertakes Nine. Frem-
stad is always the artist, and yester-
days audience, with its insistent de-
mand for encores, gave abundantly of
its esteem.
