The Club of Colonial Danes To-

origin In almost every State and
territory in the Union and its in
terests are country wide. 1t Is COM
posed of the members of the Ma
tional Society of Colonial Danes Of
America, resident in Washington.
having a large nonresident MEM
bership as well.
The club Is in its first growth and
cannot do the many things IT would
wish owing to its desire to secure
a permanent home in this city where
the members from various States
may find welcome, cheer. and enter
tainment while IN Washington. The
National society does good and pa
triotic work throughout the land.
There are yearly many scholarships
given and prizes bestowed in yari-
Gus educational establishments.
Large and generous work Is done
among the mountain whites in vad-
Gus sections of the country and
willing help is always rendered in
times Of sectional or national
trouble.
Representative Women.
1t Is composed of large-minded.
representative women throughout
the land who stand for all that is
best for home. for commonwealth.
and for country. AS the Capitol
holds the representatives of the
United States so the Club OF
Colonial Danes has a house to well
come all members OF the national
society of the thirteen original
States. the District of Columbia and
the sister States admitted since the
revolution. 1t might be likened TO
a doorway whose top might be re-
moved, but the sides would still re-
main upright.
During the winter the members
hear lectures and good music. be-
sides doing everything within their
scope for the good of those about
them. As the decades go by the
archives of the various State socie-
tics VIII be OF inestimable value to
STATE historians and II will be OF

Interviewer with the records Of the
Friday Morning Music Club is much
of the musical history of Washing
ton.
Formed In 1856, this society num-
bered among its members many Of
the foremost musicians of the Capt.
tai. both amateur and professional.
and since then IL has added TO its
rolls the names Of the large ma
musicians who have attained promi-
hence here.
In the twenty-six years of its ex-
istence. the club has taken up mu-
sic by periods. and by classifications
Of composers. 1t now allows a wide
freedom in the choice Of its weekly
programs. Though for many years
there was an unwritten law Of the
club that no admission should be
charged to any recital given by the
club. the large attendance at its spe-
cial programs, when out-of-town ar
lists appeared, made necessary a
nominal fee to the six or eight such
programs given last winter.
Notable Concerts.
At these special occasions such ar
lists as David and Clara Names,
violin and piano; Sarah Gurowitsch.
cello; Francis Rogers. baritone;
Carl Schroeder. cello, and Horatio
Connell. vocalist, have appeared. The
club also recently heard a lecture by
Henry Krehbiel, the widely known
critic and writer on musical topics.
Mr.. Krehbiel il an honorary member
of the club.
One of the interesting events Of
last winter was an all-American PRO-
gram given for members and invited
guests at the New National Museum
auditorium. Each of the Friday

RUSSIA AND POLAND.

Not too much significance will be
attached to the guarded promise of
unity and autonomy which the St.
Petersburg government has extend
ed to Poland, as one Of the fruits Of
the war. Perhaps Russia is pre-
pared to grant that boon; but pre-
liminary to granting it, there is the
necessity of getting all Poland under
Russian domination. Even if that
be accomplished, the advantages Of
autonomy under Russian suzerainty
will not be very apparent until it is
made plain that Poland is to be
granted the substance as well as the
form o. control over its internal af-
fairs, and that the pledge of free
dom in language and religion means
quite as much at st. Petersburg as
Poland would have it mean at War
saw.
It is not impossible the Russian
pledge is given by way of countering
some proclamation heretofore issued
by Germany, but which has not been
brought to the outside world in the
news dispatches. Without doubt, the
strongest card either Germany or
Russia could play in Poland at this
time is the one that has been laid
on the board by Russia. Each empire
wants the aid and sympathy of the
Poles, whose country must be the
scene of much of the campaigning
between Russia and Germany. The
Germans might have gone farther in
imitation of Napoleonic diplomacy,
if they had appeared right at the
outset as Hberators of Poland. They
might have won a great deal of aid
and sentiment to their side, if they
had made the promise that is now
credited to Russia. The advantage
of such a course has been so obvious
that it is difficult to believe the Ber-
lin government has delayed so long
as to give Russia this great lead in
the contest for Polish sympathies.
Car Nicholas has repeatedly
proved that, though he is a weak !
man and too much dominated by the
grand ducal clique, he has flashes Of
real humanitarian intelligence. In a |
time like the present it is possible
that he has seen another Of those |
grandiose visions of himself as a |
benefactor of nations, such as the
one that inspired him to initiate the
world-peace movement with which
his name is associated. But will the
pledge to Poland be carried out any
more effectively than was the pledge
of untiring zeal in behalf of world
peace? Aggression against China
and Japan were already in progress,
at the very time of the announce
ment of Russia's Inauguration of the
peace campaign. There could be no
other outcome to those aggressions
than either the destruction of Japan,
Or war. Japan had the choice forced
upon her, and chose war.
The pledges of the bear are always
,ertRin to be inspected and analyzed
with good deal Of misgiving.

the circumstances and conditions by which thou
sands of progressive Shoe Merchants in the
Southern States have become loyal supporters and
friends Of Shield Brand Shoes are almost identical

The Shoe Merchant is first attracted to Shield
brand Shoes by the great value he gets in dollars
and cents he buys on price-he can see and
feel that Shield Brand Shoes offer more for the
money than similar lines.
Then his customers vouch for their quality, he
learns from men, women and children who have paid
him tor Shield Brand Shoes, that they Fit Best
Wear Longest, and they satisfied with them and
want Shield Brand Shoes
When this process is repeated year in and year
out and the Shoe Merchant sees his shoe business
grow and prosper and hears his neghbors and chill
dren asking his clerks for Shield Brand Shoes-bv

lished tor all time to come.
