TwENTY-THREE GOOD AMERICANS

! The Naval Advisory Board appointed by Secretary
Daniels represents American talent and patriotism at
their best says the Wala Walla Bulletin These men,
standing at the head Of their professions are giving their
best thought and effort to the nation without any
pectation of reward public appreciation And even
that will be felt only indirectly and at distance.
Their work for the navy department will not be done
with bare Of trumpes 1t will be carried on mostly in
secret The public will never know of the thought and
labor devoted freely to the purpose of national safety by
Chairman Edison and his 22 associates.
The manner in which these were selected was ad-
mrable Mere fame had nothing to do with it. Few Of
them famous in spite Of their genius The average
citizen knows something of Hudson Maxim Peter Cooper
Hewitt and or two Others but most of the remaining
names familiar only in the professions to which the
men belong. No mere government official would have
chosen precisely this group Of specialists or could have
chosen them They were selected by eleven great en-
gneerng and scientific societies. which knew their special
fitness for the service expected Of them The only Of
the entire number who combined great reputation with
the homage Of the engineering and scientific professions
is Thomas A. Edison, perhaps the greatest of living
Americans, who was naturally selected by Secretary
Daniels to head the board.
The ready response Of these learned societies. and the
acquiescence Of the they chose afford
inspiring examples Of good citizenship And these are

again attracting attention During the early part of the

cneers and surveyors with their supplies out toward
Lakeview and those who knew them say they are the
same who surveyed the line that is now building from

NEUTRAL MEASURE
GIVES" WHIP" HAND
TO CHIEF EXECUTIVE
tBY LEASED WiRE.1

WASHINGTON. March 4.-President
Wilson today held the whip hand in
the war situation as the result of the
passage by congress last night of the
neutrality resolution. This measure
gives the president power to deal with
any of the shipping complications like.
ly to arise in the near future. It en-
powers him to stop all ships Of Amer
lean registry from leaving American
ports If he thinks that any grave dan
ger of suspicion attaches to their voy-
age. 1t Is recognized that the govern
ment war risk bureau might suffer
heavy losses If American ships were
allowed to take hazardous chances in
the war zone. The action of the
president under the resolution will. of
course, depend upon developments of
the immediate future in the negotia-
tons now going on between the Unit
ed States and England.

The perfect vocal art of Mary A.
Kaufman, the young soprano, native
to this city, who is achieving nation
al reputation as an American singer
Of the first rank, was demonstrated
in the recital given in the high school
auditorium last evening.
Miss Kaufman is one Of the best
known and most popular. singers be-
fore the public at present and her pro-
fessional engagements extend from
coast to coast. She has appeared with
the big orchestras, with famous must
cal organizations and in individual re-
citals all over the country and is ev-
erywhere received with enthusiasm.
This Is because she unites voice
Of natural beauty with a technique
which is the result of long years OF
study. She Is not only singer, she
is a musician.
Keeps Natural Quality.
Unlike many professional vocalists
of reputation, Miss Kaufman is not
overturned. The natural quality OF
her voice has not been lost In maze
of musical technicalities. 1t is still
fresh and full of brilliant color and
hence she makes an appeal to the mu-
stefan and layman alike.
Miss Kaufman's program last even
ing was arranged to display her virtu-
osity and versatility and was varied
enough to suit every taste, beginning
with the famous aria from "Traviata,
including lyrics by Schumann, poetic
cycle, and ending with dramatic ex-
position from MADAM Butterfly"
In Miss Kaufman's bravura num-
bers, especially in that by Verdi, her
command Of all the effects possible to
a colorature singer was evident and
the volume and range of her vocal or
gan shown.
Indeed, she sings these big operate
numbers with all the eclat of the
prima donnes who have made the
roles celebrated and does SO with a
freshness and spontaniety lacking In
many of the former.
In vivid contrast is her lyrical In
terpretation as in "A Spirit Flower"
an enchanting song, and in the Joy OF
the Morning." by Ware, which con.
jured up visions of radiant land
scape painted by some great artist.
German Songs Please.
The group OF German songs was one
of the best things of the evening,
especially good being the Sinding and
Dvorak numbers and the brief dra'
matte excerpt by Wolf.
It was Miss Kaufman's virtuosity,
however, that was most unsteady in.

MILLIONAIRES PLAY
WINTER BASEBALL
ON CLOSED GROUND
Lineups Resemble Clippings
From who's Who in
America Games Take
Place on Million Dollar Lot
BY FRANK G. MENKE,
Sporting Editor Of The international
O.


News Service.
Winter league baseball is being play
ed in New York, not behind the old
baseburner, nor in the cigar stores and
billiard rooms. but out in the open
on real ball field, no matter what
kind of weather afflicts or blesses the
country.
The league, known as the New York
Interclub league. is a very exclusive
organization. It is made up of six
clubs and the roster of each looks like
part of who's Who in America"
Bankers, brokers, judges, lawyers
and other business and professional
men belong to the different clubs. The
majority of the players can sign their
checks for one million and more.
The games are played on the mil
lion-dollar field at Fifth avenue and
Seventy-flrst street. The games are
played with an indoor baseball, be-
cause of the smallness of the field.
The regulation game is seven innings.
Season Ends Soon.
The season for the crowd of winter
leaguers opened December s, and 1t
will close May 15. Two games are
played every Saturday afternoon. Such
little matter as zero weather or q
blizzard never causes a postponement
of games.
The league was started in the win
ter of 1912. A grandstand in the field
holds about $50 persons-and 1t Is
nearly always crowded with fur-cover-
ed men and women spectators. Ad-
mission to the games is by invitation
only.
There's all the more fun in it for
US when the weather is bad" said C.
P. Duval, president of the league. "You
know it's easier for fellow to make
a fadeaway slide when there's a lot OF
ice to slide on. These games gets us
out in the open once a week at least.
and the exercise we get is a wonderful
help to our general health 1t puts new
life and a new zip into u.s."
