CONGRESS CALLED
TO MEET APRIL 2

Washington.-.President Wilson, rec
ognizing that Germany practically ID
making war on the United States on
the seas, has summoned congress
to assemble in extraordinary session
on April 2 to deal with the situation.
The purpose of the session-now
called two weeks earlier than the date
first set-as announced in the presi.
dents proclamation is to receive a
communication from the chief execu.
tive on grave matters of national
policy"
The president in his address to con-
gress will detail how Germany prac-
tically has been making war on the
United States by the ruthless destruc-
ton of American lives and ships on
the high seas in contravention of all
the laws of nations and humanity.
Congress then is expected to pass a
resolution declaring that state of
war existed between the United States
and Germany for some time.
Such resolution in itself will not
be a declaration of war in a technical
sense, although practically it will
amount to the same thing.

CLUB RECITAL OF
PUPILS INTERESTING

Hood River has had no more inter-
esting recent event than the recital OF
pupils OF local music teachers, given
under the auspices Of the Musical De-
partment of the Woman's Club at the
high School auditorium on Wednesday
evening of last week. Even those Of
the big audience, untutored in technical
music. could see that much talent is
possessed by the pupils who played and
sang. And il is predicted that numef-
Gus masters of the musical art are now
among the boys and girls of the city.
Playing with precision that would
not be bettered by graduate of a
foremost musical school, Miss Janet
Slade, piano pupil Of Mrs. G. <.
Coffin. yet displayed an ease that some
musicians can never attain.
Although the youngest of the parti-
cipants in the recital. little Miss Lois
Jean Sinclair, who is being taught
piano lessons by her neither. showed a
skill that can only be obtained from
sincere teaching. Misses Katherine
Baker and Miss Georgia Lynn, Mrs.
Leroy Taft's pupils, rendered their
piano duet in masterful manner.
Miss Isabelle Sifton also evidenced the
grace that one may use In the move
ments of playing the piano.
Miss Ada Laraway, for young girl
shows wonderful talent. 1t is pre-
dicted that Miss Laraway has sue.
cessful future as an accomplished
pianist. Miss Laraway is pupil of
Mrs. C. H. Sletton.
One of the most brilliant numbers of
the evening was that of Miss Georgia
Lynn, whose clear, sweet soprano
filed the big auditorium. Miss Lynn.
who is student of J.. Adrian Epping,
delighted her hearers with her rendi-
tion, and was called on for an encore.
She sings with ease Of enunciation and
with proper breathing. Miss Lynn dis
played rare talent in one whose vocal
lessons have been SO few.
While it may have gone unnoticed
to those unframed In musical elements,
the recital formed an interesting study
in the different methods of teaching
from the professional standpoint. Each
pupil was letter perfect in the rendi.
| tion of selections, but to the musically
trained mind difference in the atti.
tude in the mind of players of differen,
teachers could be detected.
The recital had but one flaw. Be.
fore each number, the respective pupils
endeavored to give brief synopsis in
explanation of the number to be
played. Too often the young folks
spoke in such low tone of voice tina,
their words could not be heard at any
distance, and the effect of the explain
alton was lost.
Miss Helen Forbes, another pupil ol
Mrs. Sletten, rendered most pleasing
piano selection. The personitication ol
grace was little Miss Winnifred Newby
who is taking piano lessons from Mrs,
Wedemeyer and Mrs. Coffin. Sidney
Carnine and Miss Magdalene Mitchell
| aroused appreciation with vocal selec
tions. Both are pupils of Mr.. Wede
meyer.
Mrs. D. P. Gillian won praise fol
her rendition of mighty LAX Rose. y
