FINE AUDIENCE
GREETS COMPANY
Skoygaard and Metropolitan Company
at University Auditorium Last
Night Gave the Company Packed
House

An indication that Moscow people
will support the university in its eff
forts 10 bring high class attractions
to the auditorium, was evidenced last
night when the auditorium was packed
to its capacity to hear Skovgaard and
the Metropolitan company in classic
selections. The audience greeted each
number with generous applause.
In Skovgaard's first number, Men
delssohn's brilliant Concerto in E
Major, he displayed to advantage his
mastery Of technique. His second
group of numbers proved most pop
ular, the audience being more familiar
with them. In Schuberts melodious
Serenade. one was able to appreciate
most fully the rich tones of the won
derful instrument upon which the art
ist played. Miss Clara Freuler pre-
sented two Swiss Folk songs in cos
tune which we're well received. Alice
McClung was very sympathetic ac
companist, and in her solo number
she executed the "Toccata' by Bach
Busoni with much artistic skill and
feeling. The applause which followed
Molly B. Wilson's group of songs was
very demanding, and she responded to
the encore with a little German la
ment. One of the most artistic num-
bers of the entire program was the
Aria from Madame Butterfly sung in
costume by Florence Hawkins. The
numbers given by Mr.. Cowles, bara-
tone, pleased the audience, and his en-
core in Danny Deaver," was taken as
his premier.

SWEDEN LOOMS
AS A FACTOR
THOUGH NOT PRO-GERMAN ARE
AGAINST RUSSIANS AND MAY
AID THE FORMER
Situation Full of POssibiIities-With
Films, Swedes Would March on
Petr0gard
By CHARLES P. STEWART
(Staff Correspondent United Press.)

(Stan correspondent United PresS.)
COPENHAGEN, Jan. g. = Sweden
doesn't intend to let Germany lose
in the war, even if she is forced to
join the Teutons. She feels that she
cannot allow the Russians to beat Ger
many. Sweden is not particularly
pro-German but is wholly anti-Rus-
sian. She believes her strength will
be a deciding factor as a last resort
This outline of the Scandinavian
situation was presented by reliable
sources today. The Swedes have long
been in terror of Russian attempt
to secure a coveted port on the west
coast of the Scandinavian peninsula.
The SWedes claim to have a million
troops. In the event of hostilities she
would invade Finland, expecting the
Films to join the campaign, capture
Petrograd and thence go southwark to
join the Germans.
The Norwegians sympathise with
England as consequence of trade
relations. Their army is mostly pro-
German though the masses are pro-
English. Denmark is persistently pro-
Ally.

Assembly Interesting

With the close of the Christmas hol-
welcomes returning students who
after. two weeks of home pleasures
are come to complete the three weeks
work of the present semester and to
registration for the spring session.
The law school faculty greeted their
students in the annual law banquet on
Tuesday evening, held at the Moscow
hotel Refreshments, entertaining,
helpful talks and good fellowship were
Mpartaken of and thoroughly enjoyed
from eight to twelve.
The mid-week assembly was given
over to the associated students, who
held a short business meeting, as
Stunning their responsibilities for the

musical activities of the University, the
glee club is asking for some recogni-
ton from the students organization
in order that they may have more
financial backing in developing the
work which they wish to carry on in
various parts of the state This serv-
ice is of such wide-reaching signinc-,
ance that it meets with the approval
of the students generally, indicating
disposition of the entire student body
to relate themselves to the education
al and cultural interests of the state.
Among the plans which are being
vigorously pushed in connection with
the Farmers and Housekeeper's Week
to be held at the university during
the week of January oath, are those
concerned with conference on munic-
ipaI problems for January 28th and

be derived from meeting with repre-
sentatives from other municipalities
and discussing with them, face to
face, the problems common to all
cities.
A general program is being arrang-
ed dealing with the question of rails
ing and spending city's money. The
theme is a timely and significant
one: those appearing on the program

TITANIC STRUGGLE
IN WILSON'S STATE
New Jersey Legislature Republican,
But Governor and State Officers
Democratic - Gigantic Political
Fight FOrecaSted.
By the United Press Associations.

By the United Press Associations.
TRENTON, N. j., Jan. 6.-The 140th
legislature of New Jersey will convene
January II for a session which prom
iSeS to be fraught with bitter party
and factional strife. The reason for
this forecast is that New Jersey, with
its republican legislature, democratic
governor and democratic other state
officials, next fall will vote for pres
ident, U. S. senator and governor.
And this is Wilson's home state. 1t
may develop into the biggest fight in
the history of this compact little com
monwealth.
The democrats in the state senate
and house of assembly will strive to
enhance the fortunes of their party
to the end that President Wilson may
may roll up big majority in his
home state; while the G. o. P. repre-
sentatives will maneuver to have the
in the coming contest be-
fore the people. In state senate repub-
lican majority will be 5, there being 13
of them to democrats. The house
will have 40 republicans to 20 demo-
Gratis and the majority on joint bal
lot will be 25, thus insuring the cleo
ton of a republican state treasurer
to succeed the democratic incumbent
State Chairman Grosscup.

every prospect for obtaining new

promised "A new building. The suburb
is situated part in the District and
part IN Maryland. and this means that
some children from the District will

small.

sired. and a petition is now being cir
culated. with the view of ascertaining
those whg}would desire this service.
