"ULCER OF HATE"
BLAMED FOR WAR
Berlin Professor Sends
Views of Peace to Amer
lean Churches

The "gangrenous ulcer Of hate
which posons international relations
must be burned out" Dr.. Adolf Deiss-
mann, Orientalist of the University Of
Berlin, declares, before any interna-
tional league of peace can be estab-
lished. Nevertheless, he says, 1.-The
idea of arbitration is constantly gain
ing ground in our country"
DR.. Deissmann's message came by
wireless in response to an inquiry
made by the Rev. Charles S. MacFsr-
land. general secretary Of the Federal
Council of Churches OF Christ in
America. 1t was delivered to Mr..
mcfarland by the German Embassy
yesterday.
Chancellor Won Bethmann Hollweg's
speech to the Chef Committee OF the
Reichstag on November 9, he explains
put forth the official attitude OF yer
many most clearly.
DR.. Deissman went on TO say:
"Of course, If attempts to form an
international alliance for maintaining
lasting conditions of peace are 70 Dc
practically realized, the mental ana
spiritual atmosphere within the great
powers must change. The gangrenous
ulcer of hate which poisons interna
tional relations must be burned out
and the intellectual heads Of nations
above all the Christian leaders, must
under full recognition of the bon"
fdes of their opponents, be ready 20
for0iye one another's thoughts. as well
as words and deeds, whereby they
have hurt and wounded each other.
"Then they would be able to succeed
in fully entering into the problem OF
reconstruction. In creating this atmos-
phere. which is prerequisite to every
step toward a better mutual unuer-
standing. neutral Christians have a
treat mission. They should regard COM
batants as suffering brethren, nurse
their wounds and reconsider the atu'
tude Of their hearts and minds

200TH YEAR
DR.. Duffield Tells of PreSby-
terrain Congregations
Early Trials

The "Old First" Presbyterian Church,
Fifth Avenue and Eleventh Street, be-
gan with yesterday mornings service
the week Of festival with which il will
celebrate the 2OOth anniversary of it's
foundation. The festival will reach its
height on Wednesday morning. when
Governor Whitman. President John
Grier Hibben of Princeton, Eugene II.
Outerbridge, president Of the Chamber
of Commerce, and others will speak.
Next Sunday "The Messiah" will be
sung.
The Rev. DR.. Howard Duffeld, who is
also celebrating the twenty-hfth an
niverSary OF his pastorate with the
"Oid First" preached an historical ser
mon yesterday morning, tracing the
history Of the church since its begin
ming, in 17l6. At that time the con-
gregation met in the City Hall, which
then stood where the Sub-Treasury now
is. In 1919 the first church building
was erected, in Wall Street.
Members Of the congregation played
a prominent part in the Revolutionary
War. in revenge for which the British,
during their occupancy Of the city, used
the church as a barracks and riding
school.
DR.. Dufield said that in its 200 years
Of life the church had had only twenty
pastors. "While mechanics and iron
workers have builded splendid edifices
and added TO the material prosperity
Of the city" he said, Presbyterianism
has worked to make a more glorious
city, resplendent in the inner self. 1t
has worked to build up a citizenship
Of faith, honor, liberty and truth, where
the soul sits on the throne"

was with this composition that the
name of Tschaikovsky appeared for
the first time. we believe. on concert
programme in America. The occasion
was concert Of the Philharmonic So
clety on April p, 1876. conducted by
George MatEks, who was then the lead

but his habits had brought about a
request for his resignation a few days
after the fifth concert Of the season, on
March is. II is nevertheless likely
that the composition had been sug-

The violin concerto had also a RENT

Gorky'S Son Praises Care
Given Him by Americans
on French Front
ASKS SUPPORT FOR
BENEFIT FRIDAY
Work Wonderful Now, but
Can Be Made Still
More Efficient

I've who we're taken care Of there
will never hear again the word Amer
lea without a thrill of gratitude de-
clared Lieutenant Zenovi PechkoF. Of
the Foreign Legion, yesterday, in de-
seribng the work Of the American Am
bulsnce and American Hospital at
Neuilly, France.
Good Americans, said the soldier,
whose father is famous under the pen
name Of Maxim Gorky, should show
their appreciation Of the wonderful
work that is being done by their COM
patriots by attending the benefit for
the service corps Of the American AM
bulance at the Strand Theatre on Fri
~" afternoon. One Of the features Of
the occasion will be the first public
....us % MINIS pIcturing the work OF
the service corps.
Lieutenant PeehkoF experienced the
efficient mnistrations OF the American
organization when he was wounded in
"a uattle IN sthe Champagne. The late
Kitten Rockwell was wounded in the
odIf tHEdktufuAs anu Aut WV ven ~
the American Hospital together Pech'
kof wears an empty sleeve.
Delightful Imprisonment
81 was taken to the American Hos
pitsl in an American car" said Lieu
tenant Pechkof yesterday. THE hos
pital was actually my home for many
months. 1t was an imprisonment, but
a delightful one, especially in the days
of convslescence, when | was wheeled
about the lovely garden or sat on the
'terrasse' and enjoyed being a part OF
the splendid organization.
From that point ! could see the cars
with their drivers rushing away for La
Chapelle, the station where most of the
wounded are brought in. We who were
taken care of there will never hear
again the word America without a
thrill Of gratitude. -,
THAT is one reason why ! think all
good Americans should lend their aid
to the support Of this ambulance corps.
IL is efficient, but it can be made more
so. It is not only getting men to the
hospital that counts, but getting them
there quick enough so that the limbs
may be saved. That is the tremen-
dously important thing, and that means
the very top notch of efficiency; and
that means, again, generosity on the
part of the American nation"
The benefit Of which Lieutenant
PechkoT speaks has enlisted the ser
vices of many artists. Mile. Dorziat
will make her first appearance this sea-
son at the Friday afternoon perform
ance. William Faversham will recite a
war poem. Nine. Beriza, OF the Opera

NINE. GUILBERT
GIVES NEW YORK
MODERN PARIS
Sings as She Sang in the Old
Days at lie Chat
Noir"

Nine. Yvette Guilbert gave another
Of her recitsls last night at the Maxine
Elliott Theatre, and this time she ap-
peared as the world first remembers
her The long black gloves were there
again, ard with them the Middle Ages
had disappeared. II was modern Paris.
or, rather, the Paris that was modern
before the purge Of war cleaned it alike
Of its students and its Apaches.
Nine. Guilbert led us through the
Place Pigalla and up the Butte, and
then across the river to the Boul' Niche.
She sang to us, as she sang in the old
days at "Lc Chat Noir," of the amusing
tale Of "Le Jeune Homme Triste," of the
mothers tragedy in LA Soulardi,' OF
the young Apache in "a la Villette,"
OF the young streetwalker in LA Pier
reuse" Then for climax there came
the terror of "LApachc," a song in
which Nine. Guilbert reached the
heights Of tragedy.
In this tale of the Apache. who sees
the vision of his own death on the
guillotire, with the crowd doffing their
hats as the knife falls, Nine. Guilbert
puts into a few stanzas the whole life
of the criminal Of Paris, his villainy,
his courage, mis- defiance. Then. as an
encore, she gave a ditty about four
cornered party, which was delightful,
but not for the debutante.
The latter half of the programme
contained three songs of the Latin
q
"LHotel No. g." and "Ten souviens-
tu." In them all was the humor of
that land OF care free youth where
sometimes the student studied. Ten
souviens-tu" must have brought a
lump to more than one throat in last
nights audience, for even under the
Puritan elms of American colleges
youth still is youth, and what happens
near the Seine happens as often near
the Charles.
Nine. Guilbert gave them as only
she can give them. She was assisted at
the piano by Gustave Ferrari. Miss
Emily Gresser, violinist, played very
charmingly between the groups OF
songs.
There were three other concerts
during the evening. At the Metropoli-
tan Mrs. Louise Homer, raul AlthOuse
and Ernest Schellng appeared at the
regular Sunday offering. Mrs. Homer
sang ooh. Don Fatale" and mon
cour s'ouvre a Ia vox"; Mr. Althouse,
Celeste Aida" and Harry Burleigh's
"The Young Warrior" which had been
orchestrated by Ricardo Zandonai.
Mr.. Schelling played the List Piano
Concerto in fat and a group Of
Chopin. The orchestra was under the
direction of Richard Hageman.
Max Sanders gave his sixth musical
at the Harris Theatre. Frank Pollock
sang there several old English songs
and "Una Furtiva Lagrina." and Helen
and Harriet Scholter, 'cellist and
pianist, also appeared.
In addition 10 this concert the
Messrs. Aborn gave an operate evening
at the Park Theatre.
