SONG ARTIST AIDS
K..0F c. WARFUND
John Mccormack, With Two
Assistants, Gives Charming
Recital at Polls.

For once John Mccormack was ac-
corded an even greater appreciation
for another type of song than the
Irish melodies he sings superlatively
well-and that appreciation was re-
served for the wartime songs he sang
as encores at Polls yesterday after
noon.
His exquisite singing of "The Last
Rose of Summer" the whimsical Bal
lynure Ballad" the plaintive Has
Sorrow Thy Young Days Shaded?"
and the spirited Nelly. My Love, and
Me" were vigorously applaurer, but
more enthusiastic still were the ova-
tions that greeted "The Long, Long
TraiI" Mother O. Mine," God Be
With Our Boys Tonight and another
he sang at the close of the program,
Our God, Our Country and Our Flag"
Assisting Artists.
Assisting in the recital. which was
for the benefit of the Knights of CO.
lumbus war fund, were Lily Meagher,
soprano, possessed of a clear, flexible
voice of unusual expressiveness and
range, and Edwin Schneider, an ac-
companist of unusual gift, whose own
contribution, Flower RAIN" sung by
Mr.. Mccormack, was one of the
choicest bits of the program.
1t was explained that Mr.. McCor-
mack, the assisting artists and Mr..
McCormack's management all had
contributed their services free in be-
kr11 80 s - ~I.
Moreover, Mr.. Mccormack had chosen
to celebrate Flag day. which was his
own y-fourth birthday, by per-
forming this service in the National
Capital for the boys who are fighting
over there.

In addition to the total receipts
from a record audience that usurped
the stage and all standing room. the
proceeds were further swollen by the
sale of autographed Victrola records.
with a personal message and the

chaser was Senator Phelan of Califor-
mia, who bought 1.-The Star Spangled
Banner" for 500. and others were Mr..
Hogan, Mr.. Griffith. Rev. James A..
Smyth and Mrs. Raymond Hurley.
Special Features of Program.

ouac's Fitful Flame" (Hamilton Har-
ty). and two distinctive Rachmani-
noff numbers. when Night Descends"
and Fear Not, My Love-" He sang
Dear Old Pal of Nine" song writ
ten in the trenches by Lieut.. Gitz
Rice; "She Rested by the Broken
Brook" (Colerfdge-Taylor) and Fer

Among Miss Meagher's songs were

Cooperation With Government
Phases of War Discussed.

Pledging their loyalty and co-opera-
ton with the government and the Dis
trict Commissioners, members of the

prices in excess of those warranted even
after taking into consideration the in
creased cost of supplies and labor 1t
added that Charges of such practices,
whether founded upon fact or otherwise.

reputation of the residents of the Dis
trict."
The secretary was directed to send a
copy of the resolution to President Will
son, the respective chairmen OF the Sem
ate and House District committees and
the District Commissioners.

clared that there is absolutely moth
ing more imperative today than busi-
ness cooperation between English
speaking nations and the allied coun-
tries. The spirit of this country to-
do to 70 ho 1ohf Of 4.

Mr.. Klumph declared that IL he

HOW GERMAN GOVERNMENT
DECEEvEs IT'S SOLDIERS

An illustration OF how the German
government deceivea its soldiers In
regard TO American soldiers being in
France. is shown by the following ex-
tract from a letter written BY Talbot
Jennings OF Nampa. who Il now In
France. as a member Of the 14sth u
). field artillery.
We went out yesterday to watch
German prisoners at work. One Of
our men talked TO them. Do you
know they refused 20 believe that We
really we're American soldiers. Said
we were English dressed up-that
America couldn't send men across the
ocean because the U-boats wouldn't
let 'em. Amazing how badly the
German government has fIm-nam-
med the poor devils. .
