SECOND CONCERT
OUTSHINES FIRST
Swedish Singers Again Captivate
Big Audience at Auditorium
by Splendid Music.
GRAND CHORUS IS EFFECTIVE
BY HENRIETTA M. REES.

Among other things said by the
mayor in his address of welcome to
the Swedish singers Monday evening
was that he was sure when the festi-
walls were over that the key of the city
which he presented would be returned
as unblemished as when he gave 1t to
them. That is all very we'll, but when
these Swedish singers can give US such
music as we have been enjoying the
last two days why take the key back
at all? The vast audiences which
packed the Auditorium both evenings
would be glad to have another festival
held in Omaha in the near future, and
they might decide to use it again.
Second Concert. New Delights.
The second festival concert Of the
western division Of the American
Union Of Swedish Singers took place
last evening and fully maintained the
excellent impression made on Mon
day. The grand chorus is made up
from thirty-five separate singing clubs
from as far north as Winnipeg, Can
ada, and from different cities in ILL
nois, Minnesota, Missouri, Colorado
and other neighboring states. 1t is re-
markably we'll balanced for its size,
and is a tribute to the untiring work
of the director, Mr.. Joel Mossberg,
the individual directors and its men,
bership.
The audience was as large in point
of numbers as the one of the previous
evening, and the enthusiasm which
greeted the singers was even more
cordial. 1t was a surprise to many in
the audience to hear so many Swedish
songs suitable for mems voices, and
which were so interesting as we'll from
a musical standpoint.
Grand Chorus Opens Program.
As on the previous evening, the pro.
gram opened with two songs by the
grand chorus, this time "Pa Vagt" in
English, "On Guard" and "All Hail
Thou Lofty North"
In these many interesting effects
were obtained, especially in the latter,
which resembled the diapason of a
great organ in it, solid nymn-like har-
monies. The audience would not be
content without an encore and Hear
Us Svea," sung the evening before,
was repeated with telling effect.
One of the most interesting mum.

LONDON. Feb 2S-AccCrding to special dispatches from Petrograd, the Turks are said to be evacuating Trebi zond, the Russian advance along the Black sea having reached to within q single days march of the port of 2iZoh.

ONE MAN WILL HAVE CHARGE IF
 THE BLOCKADE
GRepublican A. P. Leased Wirel

LONDON, Feb 22-The govern ment, through the Marquis of Lands doWne, announced in the house of lords
 tonight that it had decided to turn over all matters connected with the
 blockade of Germany to one man who
 would rank as full fledged cabinet
 minister. It is understood that the new
 post will go to Lord Robert Cecil who
 since the formation of the coalition government, has been under secretary
 for foreign affairs. He will retain this
 post, joining the cabinet as blockade
 minister.
 The new minister will be charged with the administration of the order in council regulating the blockade, as well as responsibility for the general policy and practice of the government with respect to trade passing to or from neutral countries
 Lord Robert Cecil is a lawyer of wide experience and a young man, as mem
 bers of the British cabinet go. In the foreign office he has been intimately concerned with the blockade opera tiOns, particularly in their relation to the complicated matters touching bel lieerent and neutral rights. His ele- vatiOn to the cabinet will give the I'n- ionists another representative in the coalition councils.
 The whole question of the blockade was threshed out at considerable length in the house of lords this eve
 ming, Baron Sydenham and Baron Beresford making the principal appeals
 for a stricter blockade, while the
 Marquis of Lansdowne and Baron Buckmaster defended the government It was Baron BeresfOrds maiden
 speech in the house of lords, and his
 plea was spirited and epigrammaticaI contrasting notably with the usual
 sombre, ultra -dignified debates of the
 upper house.

He told of the trials and tribulations, through which Washington went, during his career, both as a soldier and as an eXecu- tive. It was during the great up heaval in Europe the French Revo- lutiOn, and the career of Napoleon that the first president held sway His administration was in trouble at times, but a firm hand and strong stand for neutrality, kept the new country out of trouble. Though he was villified at home and insulted abroad, he stood coolly and faithfully at the helm for long time It was an act of divine providence, that raised up Washington at such time All was chaos when he ap- peared on the horizon.

Judge Sloan

Washington the Patriot" was the subject assigned to the former gov ernor, and federal judge. Judge Sloan was as brilliant as usual, and ren- dered a talk, that was an high eX- ample of rhetoric. Washington eX- hibted a patriotism of a high sort. said the judge, he preferred to do things rather than talk about them. He was just to all men. He never grew pessmstic. He was broad and catholic in his sympathies, and inclu- sive in his patriotism. He preferred to be right, rather than popular. He would rather walk alone than ride in the band wagon. He was big American not a little American. He was also the greatest of best men, and the best of greatest men, con- cluded the judge.
 At the conclusion of the speeches. the band played the Star Spangled Banner, while the audience stood, and barred heads. During the afternoon one of the features was the playing of the march, The Battleship Ari- zona," written by Eugene Redewell, and played for the first time

Meeting in Jumel Mansion

NEW YORK, Feb. PA patriotic meeting today in the old Jumel man sion, once Washingtor's headouarters in the revolutionary var. and a han quet at which many patriotic and his torlcal organizations were represented were features of the celebration of Washington's birthday in New York. Dr. Henry Van Dyke, United States minister to The Netherlands, was the principal speaker at the banquet.
 The services which Washington rendered as a soldier" Dr. Van Dyke said, were no greater than those which he rendered as a president Then, as now, there was a great Euro pean war in progress. The two points in Washington's policy for America were peace and preparedness. He in- sisted that the young republic should not recklessly fling herself into the bubbling cauldron of European poli- tics. He insisted with equal force that she should be prepared to defend her self from whatever danger might spring against her from Europe.
 What happened to Washington in those hot times? He carried all his points, but of course he was revileG and slandered by extremists of both sides. Some people called him names which were the ancient equivalent of 'milksop 'mollycoddle' and 'weakling.' Others called him an army worshipper militarist, wouldbe tyrant
 But he kept on his way calmly disregarding both the hotheads and the coldfeet and he carried his points to the saving, the welfare, the pros perity of America.
 "The ashes of Washington rest in Mount Vernon, but his undying spirit still guides our country. counselling peace and preparedness"
