MOTET SOCIETYM
COLOR PROGRAM
Chorus of Mixed Voices in Con-
cert at the VIII
lard.

The M0tet Choral Society has done
giving to Washington its first expert
ence In "color music" which formed
a part of the concert of this chorus
OF mixed voices at. the willard last
evening. under direction OF Otto Tor,
ney Simon
With the chorus concealed. this
ever-changing flow of suffused colors
was designed to add yet another sense
value to that OF music II justified
itself in part. The colors themselves
were rarely lovely in hue. in move
ment. in blend. The curtain upon
which they were projected lent an
admirable texture to them.
1t was the coordination OF the arts
that presented the problem Three
definite music ideas were interpreted
Might" Dawn" and ITO the Even
ing Star" This mobile color supplies
a clue to the values in tone express
sion, but to be thoroughly convincing,
to be interesting. one feels the need
Of music that not only lends itself to
the tone painting. but that has an es-
sential dramatic action, that marches
straight to a climax: for color does
express emotion.
Night and Dawn
This was lacking in the almost mono-
tone of the. singing of Might" One
could not feel why the color varied.
lovely though 1t was. In Dawn" the
movement OF the color, the opaleseen:
tints, moved logically to the golden
red Of the triumphant sun that the
voices proclaimed. The color shin
mered-one felt the day. But the con
cept fiuctuated. Was 1t a false dawn
Did the dawn fade? An indeterminate
drama. Just the subtle gradations in
the music become monotonous on the
screen
Thus, in the Evening star" q mo-
ment Of emotional music that brought
warm hues of vital meaning, given In
quick movement, portrayed a conyine
ing emotion, though not enough The
art Is an alluring one. We hope for
more of 1t. But to register its full
import IL needs a music scheme Of
dynamic. climscteric structure, y
bretto OF direct dramatic import.
Rich Choral Music.
The Motet Choir gave also a pro
gram OF rich choral beauty. In its
soft work especially there was a vi
brant organ blend OF tone, with dis
tinct value in the parts, that inter
preted with lovely effect the motet OF
Glinka, the soft Eastern spirit OF the
Bantock song OF the 'Hebrides." and
again by Bantock a Kiplingesqur
"Himalay" chorus with real "go" IN
1t, and another given with lovely In
tonation. The modern Chabrier rpusic
was not attractive, though IL was
given with spirit, with effective solo
work by Miss Margaret Follin, Louis
Thompson and John Waters.
Richard Lorleberg, in a group OF
cello solos, played most musically, the
Gluck and Bach numbers being par
ticularly effective At the piano Miss
Lenore Baker and George Wilson
played artistic accompaniments. Lewis
Darlington, as manipulation of the
color slides, shared in the artistic In
depreciation OF the color music.

BOTH ARMS MUST BE STRONG

Spend $685., 100000 on the navy
yes! Spend any sum within our
means to render our feet capable Of
handling any task with which it is
threatened. But make no such ex-
penditure at the expense of the army
budget.
The only theory which can justify
the cutting of the army appropria-
tion bill from the departmental esti-
mate of sS2O,OOO,OOO to s247,061, los
is that Congress is waiting to pro-
vide a lump sum for the real mill
tary system that the country needs.

PRESENT CONGRESS
WILL SEE FIGHT ON
MILITARY TRAINING.

whether there Is to be policy Of
disarmament -
The situation in Congress which
confronts those who want universal
training will be that when they at
tempt to press the proposed legisla
ton they will be met by opposition.
on the ground that It Is possible arm
aments are to go or be greatly re-
duced and so the United Etates should
walt. It Is doubtful II this opposition
can be overcome in this session II
the Administration were to advocate
universal training, Congress would
put it through.
Fear Unpreparedness.
The believers In universal training
and In adequate preparedness for this
country at all times are as a matter
OF fact much concerned with respect
to permanent military legislation.
They fear the end of the war Will see
the United States lapse back into ~
old ways of unreadiness. They take
no stock In the idea that the end OF
the war will bring disarmament and
they point out that, with the world
unwilling to take the word Of Ger
many for anything, 1t Is impossible to
Nsee how Berlin can be relied on to
dlsarm even IL the promise Is made
to do, so. .-.--.,-
They do not believe England and
France will throw down their arms at
the end of this war with a treacherous
enemy at their doors ready to strike
them a deadly blow the minute the
opportunity offers.
Hence they regard It as useless to
await the end of the war to enter on
a military policy at once democratic
and not calculated to interfere with
Industrial development

One OF the greatest struggles over
legislation and policy which this
country has seen for many q day is
certain to develop over the question
Of what shall be the permanent Amer
lean military system.
The mutterinEs OF trouble over II
are already audible. They have been
audible for many months, but are be-
coming constantly more so.
The issue Is going to be, in part,
whether there shall be universal mill
tary training. This, however, will not
be all OF Il.
Inquiry Has Bearing.
That the present revelations before
the Senate Military Committee with
reference to the slowness OF the War
Department in preparation and the
existing shortages OF ordnance and
equipment have q bearing on the
matter Is evident
II is true the investigation by SEN
6tor Chamberlain's committee has not
been begun for the purpose OF help
ing on universal training or for the
purpose Of bringing on q new per-
msnent military policy.
Nevertheless, the weaknesses OF the
system which has been followed in
the past are sure to be utilized by the
advocates of a stronger system In the
future. The object Of the Senate
Military Committee in ordering an In
to speed up the preparations for war.
Training Advocates.
Hard Al II.
The advocates of universal training
have been quite hopeful they would
be able to get action in this session
Of Congress. They are hAmmering
away hard in the effort to bring
home to the American people the de-
STABILITY OF adopting some such Dem
cratic system as the Swiss or Au-
strallan.
Colonel Roosevelt never misses an
opportunity to urge univeral training,
and no doubt has exercised q wide In
fuence.
are that nothing along this line will
be done at this session OF Congress,
unless the war brings on develop
ment which are mot now at hand
unless II Is clearly revealed that the
United States will have to throw into
the war several millions OF lighting
men in order to check the mad efforts
OF PruSsianism and the Kaiser to
exploit the rest Of humanity.
Some OF the ablest public men and
military men in this country are al
ready convinced this must be done,
but the Government is not setting
out to do II.
