Memorial DaY.

Washington, May 3O.-Members Of
all civic, naval and military organi-
cations throughout the United States
are today celebrating Memorial Day,
and in many towns the services last
through tomorrow. The patriotic en-
thusiasm aroused by the situation in
Mexico and the eagerness of many
for militancy have keyed all to a high
pitch and this Memorial day will un-
doubtedly be more largely observed
than any in previous years. The pa
rades of the various military posts
and the decoration of the soldiers
graves will, in many places, precede
athletic games, and Sunday will be
devoted to the memorial services in
the churches. Nearly all the national
officers have made arrangements to
attend the services and address the
members of the various organizations
and associations in which they are
individually interested.

JUDGES OFFER
SUGGESTIONS
TO MUSICAL CON-
TESTS OF THE FUTURE IN
ARDMoRE SCHOOLS.

At the musical contest held Thurs,
| day night in the High school auditor
| ium, the judges were placed in an
| unusually embarrassing position
They were called upon to judge the
various numbers as rendered by the
contestants, the numbers including
chorus, quartette, glee club, and or
chestral selections.
1t must be very apparent to the av-
erage musician that judging in the
manner that is required in musical
contests is made very difficult indeed
with such a mixed program as was
presented Thursday night.
1t would have simplified matters
greatly if the choruses could have
been Judged in a class, the glee CLUBS
in class, or to have had program
of one class of music instead of four
distinct classes of music as was pre-
sented in this contest; but such was
not the case, and, as the judges were
expected to pass on the program and
mark the various points, such as ap-
pearance. ensemble, technique and
expression, then it was up to the
judges to waive entirely the class or
tyre Of music presented, and judge
strictly on the degree of efficiency
as shown in rendering the number.
There is no question but what the
vocal department showed the result
of the most discriminating attention
and training, and the four wards
were So evenly matched, it was al
most a toss of the copper to deter
mine which was entitled to the first
place. The numbers presented by the
| high school were of a different char
acter. requiring more attention to
harmony, and the judges were strong
in their praise of the character o.
work done by the director of the mu-
sic department of the schools as evil
denced by the showing last night.
The orchestra is a well drilled or
ganization, and to see how they han
died their heavy number of Poet and
Peasant" with all its movements, and
the technique required, put them in
the lead on points. The judges would
recommend that the school board or
some individuals interested in the
advancement of music in the Ard
more schools, give a cup to the win
rer in a contest among the four
wards, and a cup to the winner in a
high school contest, and keep these
contests separate to the end that the
wards may not have to compete with
the high school or other organiza-
tions not in their class.
The judges will no doubt come in
for a good share of criticism on the
rart of those who do not understand
the conditions under which they Ia
| bored, and each contestant had his
enthusiastic followers, and of course
wanted them to win, but the judges
did what. under the circumstances,
they considered their duty. and until
there is some classification male in
| line with what we have recommend
ed. there will continue to be co1s.i-
cradle criticism, and the party Sc
lected to act as judge will have to be
possessed of a strong heart and broad
shoulders.

GATES. MEDlATORS WILLING.

Washington, May 3O.-Mexican me
diation was discussed at the cabinet
meeting Friday, and the administra-
ton took a positive position that the
communication forwarded to the me-
diators at Niagara Falls by General
Carranza. chief of the constitutional
ist forces. should be received.
President Wilson announced to the
cabinet that General Carran2a had ad-
dressed a note to the mediation confer
ence seeking representation Details
of the Carranza message were not dis
cussed but it later was declared the
administration took the view that the
constitutionalist chief should not be
ignored
While the cabinet was in session,
word came from Niagara Falls that
there was some doubt whether Juan
Urquide agent of Carranza, who went
to Washington with the message,
would be received Later it was learn
ed the administration had directed the
American representatives at the peace
conference to urge that Carranza's
message be accepted.
Medators Agree to Accept
When word came late Friday that
| the mediators had agreed to receive
Carranzas communication, govern
ment officials expressed the opinion
that this would lead ultimately to CON
sttutionalist participation in the me-
diation proceedings. On just what
terms the constitutionalists might be
received. administration leaders re-
mained silent
Representatives of Carranza here
announce that the nature of the com
muncation would not be made public
until the mediators had passed on its
contents. Secretary Bryan informed of
the mediators' decision conferred with
c. A. Douglas, an attorney represent
ing Carranza. and John Lind. Douglas
and Lind have been negotiating with

Secretary Bryan today said the ma

and the secretary also discussed with

Relative to the German shipments
it developed that the United States
