PUBLICITY CAN STOP
CRITICISM OF GROCERS
Sherman Tells Them Way to Stop
Contumely on High Cost-Huse
Waste in Delivery Charges.

Publicity Is the medium through which
retail food dealers can silence the jokes
contlnuely heaped upon them. John H.
Sherman. District superintendent Of
weights, measures and markets, told
the Retail Grocers' Protective Associa-
tion, at a meeting at Pythian Temple
last night
The farmer was blamed for the high
cost Of living until he showed that he
was not even getting a square deal"
said Mr.. Sherman. Then the public, in
search Of a goat, Ieaped lightly to the
railroads. The railroads first fought ard
then showed that they were not getting
excessive rates
when the public found that the rail-
roads are not to blame, they shifted to
the middlemen. The middlemen have not
tried to end the talk by publishing facts.
There are two things facing them; one
Is to fight and to be driven finally to the
wall, and the other Is by publicity to
educate the public
TT is a question where the blame lies
Probably II Is In the waste. A way to
decrease food prices is to eliminate the
waste. The wholesale market, now iso-
lated, should be right with the rail-
road stations and steamboat wharves.
That would save deliveries large ex-
pense. Then there should be co-opera-
tion between all classes Of middlemen.

MOTET CHORAL SOCIETY
HEARD WITH PLEASURE
Mr.. Simon's Excellent Work and
Artists Appreciated by Audience
at Continental Hall.

The first appearance of the Motet
Choral Society this season. at Conti-
mental Hall last night, brought out a
wealth Of new and unusual choral works
Hail Moon." a chorus for male
voice. from the Finish composer, Jan
Sebelius' musical setting Of the Kalevala,
was repeated after a highly appreciative
applause. Two interesting works of Ell
gar appeared. Death on the Hills" and
Evening Scene" Two beautiful CHOIR
uses of morning. The Dawn" Of
Matthews. and Sunrise by Taneyef
afforded Mr.. Simon opportunity, in the
former for the graduations of shading
and remarkable balance Of voices Of
which he is a master, and the latter for
the contrasting art of drawing the vocal
strands into a cumulative tonal mass
While the two choruses of Handels,
Messiah" were thoroughly well rend-
cred, giving evidence OF careful training.
Mr.. Slmon's fneA work is to be found
in those chorals in which distinctive
character demand the subtle MANAGE
ment of vocal lines in relief.
The choraIs OF modern composers are
most exacting in the drawing OF deli
cate lines, and in their subtle psycholog-
ical effects. Such chorals inspire Mr.
Simon's highest workmanship. In the
group of Christmas choruses, the John
waters solo in Three Kings Of Cor
nelius against a background Of united
voices was very fine. Damrosch's ar
rangement OF the Heilge Nacht," was
beautifully given.
Richard Turleberg, 'cellist, played the
"Abendlied'' of Schumann, a cantilena
from the A Minor Concerto Of Golfer
mann; and with Mrs. Simon, Gounod's
ARRANGEMENT of the well-known prelude
OF Bach. This Bach prelude and an air
from Gluck, which Mr.. TurleberE played
as an encore, were incomparably lovely.

Special to The Washington HsrAld.
New York, Dec. 9-Myron T. Herrick.
former United States Ambassador to
France, arrived from Europe today on
the liner Rochambeau and was given an
official reception and the freedom of the
city in recognition OF his services in
Paris during the early days OF the war.
Mr.. Herrick put his foot down hard
upon the Presidential boom which had
been launched in his favor by enthusias-
tic Republican friends and followers
When questioned as to his attitude he
declared:
'.I don't care to talk about such a
nonsensicaI proposition. II there is any
credit due me for what little have done
! have no desire to capitalize 1t and shall
not do so"
The retiring Ambassador was emphatic
in his praise of toe generosity OF the
American people, but criticised the
method OF distributing American relief
abroad, saying It lacked organizaliJn
and system.
Help Poor Here First.
Mr. Herrick was met at the pier by a
committee OF forty prominent persons
from New York and Cleveland. Ohio,
headed by Mayor John Purroy Mitchell
and W II. TTuesdale, president OF the
Ohio Society. Dock Commissioner r. A.
c. Smith went down the bay on a tug
and boarded the Rochambeau, where he
informed Mr.. Herrick that certain for
malities would oe waived.
Mr. Herr!ck, with mis- wife at his side,
was standing at the ships rail when the
liner edged into her pier and received a
vocifeToUs welcome.
This seemed to embarrass the former
Ambassador and his mOdesty was further
shown in a reluctance to talk about
what he had done. Just before he left
France the French government had
conferred the Grand Cross OF the
Legion OF Honor upon him for his dis
tinguished services in behalf OF foreign
ers in Paris when 1t looked as though
the Germans were going to lay siege
to that city. but Mr.. Herrick refused
to say anything about this honor either.
Asked for his views on the war Mr..
Herrick said:
Further than to say that the war
hurts everybody in the world l do not
care to discuss it. There is a lot OF
misery caused by il and we must take
care of our own people and then We
must consider what we can share and
divide up with those in need on the
other side"

KIAOCHOW'S RETENTION
UNDECIDED BY JAPAN
Great Britain Will Have Something to
Say About Its Ultimate
Disposition.

Oficial announcement was made yester-
day by Baron Kato, foreign minister OF
Japan, that the government had not de-
cided tho question OF the retention Of
Kiaochow. and that no pledge had been
given by the government that It would be
restored to China.
This statement corresponds precisely
with the understanding in official quar-
ters here, though 1t is well known that
the impression was widespread that
Japan had pledged herself to restore
Kiaochow to China.
It is expected here that the whole
question will remain undecided until the
end of the war In Europe. The shrewd-
ness OF Great Britain in sending forces
to participate In the siege of Tsing-tau
Won for her the right to a voice in the
disposition Of the territory taken from
Germany. Naturally. Great Britain will
be disposed to await the result Of the
conflict in Europe before attempting to
decide her position as to affairs in the
East.

Germans have largely extended the scope
OF their operations against Russia.
While maintaining their attacks in the
center OF Poland, they are attempting to
strike at railway communications in the
rear OF Warsaw from the southern from
tier OF East Prussia, and at the same
time they are trying a fianking movement
through the northern spurs of the Car
pathians to the southeast Of CracOw.
That the Russian troops are making a
third drive against the Germans on the
ThOrn-Soldau front is indicated by an
official statement issued here today stat
ing that fighting is going on in the
PrZa region. This is
northwest of the great Russian fortress
OF PUltUsk. where large forces have been
concentrated for several weeks.
