CHORAL CONCERT
DELIGHTS HEARERS
Work of Mrs. Waddell and
Clyde Kinsey Adds to
Program.

The Fairnont Choral Society made
its appearance before the public at
the First N Z. church last night In its
second concert under the efficient d.
rection OF Louis Black. Of the W. V. T..
School Of Music. Assisting the socie-
ty were Jackson Clyde Kinsey, bari
tone. of New York. and Myrtle Shaw
Waddell, soprano. Fairmont
From an artistic standpoint, the pro.
ductiCn was d splendid success the
work of the chorus having in tue opin-
ion of many, exceeded the high stand.
ard set at the initial concert in May.
! Approximately 100 voices rendered the
choruses Of. seven numbers, the solo
work being taken by Mrs. Waddell, Mr..
/ Kinscy and L. H. Randall. Mr. Kin.
sey also rendered two groups Of three
songs each the first composed OF three
Italian selections. He responded aft.
! or each group to persistent encores.
I Mrs. Waddell sang the soprano solos
and Ohligato to "TnfIammatus" from
StaEat Mater. which was regarded gen.
orally as one OF the best selections
rendered during the evening. She also
did the soprano solo work in Fair
Ellen while the baritone solo work
was taken by Mr.. kinsey 4 grouD of
Christmas songs including Christmas
Night" with baritone obligato by Mr..
Ninsev. was also a greatly applauded
number. MIR Randall sang the solo III
Grieg's Recognition of Land
The work Of Mr.. Kirsey was beyond
the expectations of his friends. His
wonderfully controlled baritone voice
never fails to delight his audience. His
voice is both brilliant and powerful
and his Interpretation and dramatic
ability reaches high standard.
Mrs. Waddcll whose ability as an ar
fist Is recognized IN Fairmont. was az
her best last night She rendered the
! difficult colo work of "Inflammatus"
/ and Fair Ellen" in an artistic manner
/ demonstrating her splendid talent and
excellent training. 1'he fact that Clyde
I NinSey. and Mrs. Waldell are both ma.
tive born FairmOnters. and the latter
Il member OF the Choral society, puts
Il further impetus to the Made in
( Fairmont' production. Adding to the
success OF the evening was the eff
Gent work of Miss Hazel Book at the
piano and Miss Laura Briggs at the
I pipe organ

GERMAN
MISCARRIAGE.

Wherever else the British navy
may be, the German Government has
discovered that it has not left the
door Of Ireland open to invaders. Ihc
German auxiliary vessel, which I'M
der the guisc of a neutral merchant
ship attempted to land arms and am.
munition in Ireland, has paid by its
destruction the penalty of its rash
ness. The defeat of this expedition
as is suggested by contemporary is
not surprise, but it is surprise
that it should have been undertaken
at all with any hope of success. The
only way the Germans are likely to
get to Great Britain is by the air,
and until they have a fleet of Yep
pelins capable of carrying several
hundred thousand men there they viii
have to content themselves with sail
ing over it and dropping bombs or
women and children.

'ensive by the allied forces.


For more than year the world
has waited inpaticntly for the taln
of the tide many felt was snre to
come in this stubborn struggle. The
allies have long assumed defensive
attitude ard have permitted the Ger
mans 10 wear away their strength and
resources in desperate, blooGy and
rruitless offensive operations against
positions practically imprcgnabic.
Now the time is approaching for
which ali this preparation and patti
cncc have been but the essential pre-
lude. There is every reason to be-
'cve that the allies are now about
prepared to strike hard and continu
ously ali along the line Such steady
and powerful and sustained pressure
must inevitably subject the German
defensive power to it's supreme test
and must disclose any weakness that
may exist.

VICTIMS OF
PYROMANIA.

Sporadic cases Of pyroman!a exist
in all communities. Sometimes, how
ever, it spreads, becoming contag-
ious especially after several destruc-
tive CONGREGATIONS have taken place.
Heavy penalties and prison bars
have not proven panaceas for this
malady, as the victims pretend they
are seized with an impulse they have
no power to suppress.
From time inmcmorial Alexandria
has had its quota of pyromaniacs,
and during the past year or more the
disease seems to, have taken root.
Some blazes have provcn disastrous.
but most of the runs sadc by the
fire department have hoca TO trivial

There has been of late great
change in British feeling and British
policy, but it follows centuries OF
oppression and miSrule. While Cana
ia and Australia, and in later years
South Africa, have stood as monu-
ments to q wise and benevolent colo
MIA! policy, Ireland has been treated
DIS a conquered province. Irish abb
.cntec landlordism has been a syno-
nym for cruelty and vindictivencss,
while Ire!and's population has stcadl-
u and enormously decreased.
In our judgment, it would be the
part Of wisdom fer Irishmen; at home
and abroad, to follow the counsels ana
leadership Of john Redmond, as the
majority Of them, indeed, appear to
be doing. The home rule bill is an
evidence Of English perception OF
Irish wrongs and OF Il detcl mination
70 right them, and the future CT ire
land must bc linked for good o. evil
with The British crown. The IRISH
man, however, remembers the past
ard nc%lccts the future. England is
rcaping what she lowed.

NO MORE
MOUTH ORGANS.

The Richmond mcs-Dispatch says
there is just one shortage, caused by
the war, that will be deplored by only
a very few Of the utterly incorrlgi-
bio. With England blockading ali
the German ports, importation of one
standard article of commerce has be-
come impossible. But who cares
when mention is made that this one
article is the lowly mouth organ?
If, as is strongly suspected: Ger
many discovered and first manufac-
tured the mouth organ, that fact in
itself is almost a cause of war. Any
how. the stoppage of mouth-organ
importation is one OF the few moral
benefits derived by this country from
the war, and it might not be anniss to
make an agreement ncver-to send any
more of them here one of the condi-
tions of lasting peace and friendship.
We believe the jewsharp is a Ger.
man conception also. Are both OF
these instruments of torture to pass
away at the same time.
Speaking of mouth organs, it may

"ELESSED ARE THE
PEACEMAk Frs"

The people Of the United States
md Germany are in anxious frame OF
mind as to the outcome of the rela-
tions now existing between the two
countries--among the greatest upon
the earth.
While we are not to disposed to be
over optimistic indications that the
diplomats of both nations are strlv-
ing earnestly to prevent break, and
we prefer TO believe that everything
reasonable is being done to preserve
the amicablc relations which have
heretofore existed between the Teu-
tonic nation and the great English
speaking America.
Hollweg in Berlin and Bernstorff
in Washington are working with Am
bassudor Gerard and Secretary Lans-
ing to reach an understanding. We
believe they will, and that ere long
the ominous clouds which are hover
ing over Berlin and Washington will
pass away.
We prefer to believe these worthless
arc disposed to be peacemakers. They
want no complications, and should
they straighten out the issues which
now confront their respective coun-
tries, they will prove themselves as
great strategists in diplomacy as
Joffrc or the Crown Prince are show
ing themselves to be in the field.

REApING WHAT SHE S0WED

England has herself to blame for
the uprising in Ireland. Those of US
who sympathizc with the allied cause
may dcplore as we vii! this outbreak
of revolution in. tie Irish capital, but
it would be equally foolish and futile
to pretend surprise. We all know
England has not won the loyalty Of
Ireland and knew also she has not
deserved it,
