Red Cross Honors
Plucky Nurse Who
Remained i'm Alaska
Chevron Awarded Miss
Nunvillai Who Stuck to
Icebound Post

The Red Cross organization has just
awarded its chevron to Miss Mar
guerite Nunvillai plucky little nurse
who chose to remain at her post in the
most northerly hospital of North
America rather than give up the
dreary work to enter the ranks of
those privileged to work in France.
Archdeacon Stuck, chairman of the
board Of directors Of St. Stephens
Hospital, at Fort Yukon, Alaska, said
in letter to the Red Cross when Miss
Nunvilai made her decision:
eff it were necessary to close this
hospital in order to win the war or
that our wounded should have proper
care I would unhesitatingly do so. But
if it is possible that this work, so sad
ly needed and set on foot at so great
an expense and with 40 much difficulty,
may continue also beg that special
service chevron be granted to Miss
Nunvillai, our one remaining graduate
nurse, to fortify her in her resolve to
remain here, and thus distinguish her
from a mere Stacker or absentee

where medical relief can be obtained

French Need Of u. S. Heb

American Woman Who Has Actively Aided War Sufferers
for More Than Two Years Is Back to Combat Danger
That This Country May Think Task Done

"The most extreme statement imagin-
able would not be strong enough to ex-
press the feelings Of the French peo-
pie toward America at the present mo-
ment," said Miss Anne Morgan yester-
day. "Not only is France grateful for
what our boys did in turning the tide
Of battle, but for all the assistance
our people have given throughout the
war"
Miss Morgan has just returned to
New York for three weeks visit,
after which she will go back to con-
tinue her work as first vicepresident
of the American Committee for Dew
astated France.
French generals are more than en-
thusiastic about our troops" continued
Miss Morgan. General Degoutte had
tears in his eyes when he spoke about
the marines. They fought like tigers,
he said.

Dillon thinks. And so long as this

Music
Childish Compositions at {
Philharmonic Concert
By II. E. Krehbiel

mere was new music, not, we fer
vent]y hope, representative of the
American School of Composition, at the
concert of the Philharmonic Society
yesterday afternoon, in Carnegie Hall.
1t was set Of small pieces composed
and conducted by Mortimer Wilson, a
musician who was born in Iowa and
educated in Chicago and Germany by
such antipodeans as Frederick Grant
Gleason and Max Roger. Mr.. Wilson
gave the pieces-there were eight of
them-a collective title, From My
YOUTH and from the sub-ttles we
We're permitted to gather that when he
was boy he played With Teddy bears
(Which is unlikely), negro and Alpine
dolls, calico cats, tin soldiers and tiny
blue dishes. Very admirable compos-
ers have written playful pieces of a
similar character-Schumann and De-
bussy, for instance. and Gounod, whose
Funeral March of a Marionette" is
the daintiest kind of musical fancy
a real inspiration. Theodore Thomas
used to put this piece on his pro
grammes for young people. But Theo-
dore Thomas never dreamed of putting
even 1T on Philharmonic programme,
and if he had ever done so the Phil
harmonic audience of his day would
nave wondered if his brains had be-
gun liquefying. Mr.. Wilson's pieces
sounded as if they might ftly have a
place in the children's corner of
Prcsser's "Etude.'
-, 1t might be said in their favor that
there was nothing in them to disturb
the interesting pallor on the cheek of
modesty. and that they were prettily
tunetul. but that is about all. Even
a child would have objected to their
titles, or at least been at a loss to
associate them with the music for
there was nothing suggestive Of a
llaby,o or of a negro in the "Waltz Of
the Negro Dolls" or of calico or cat
lprecious little of funeraD in "The
Funeral of Calico Cat; nothing
Alpine in "The Love Song of an AL
pine DOLL" Yet some of these things
admit of musical Characterization. >
The concert began with Bach's
Brandenburg Concerto in F, which was
pleasant to hear, because the Philhar-
monlc Orchestra has excellent players
on the violin, trumpet, flute and oboe.
After this music came Brahms's Sym
phony in f, listlessly played and heard
with equal listlessness small wonder.
Mr. Stransky ambled through it with
scarcely a noticeable change in funda-
mental tempo from beginning to end.
The most fiery flash in its fiery open
ing would scarcely have done more
than awaken commiseration in the
phosphorescent body of a sympa-
thetic glowworm. Mr.. Schulz, first
'cellist of the orchestra, played the
solo part in Tschaikofsky's "Varia-
tons on 8 Rncncn Thnnan ,,

Benefit for Crippled
Children at Strand

1t seemed pity that all Of the little
inmates of the Seaside Home for Grip
pied Children could not have visited
the Strand yesterday for the annual
benefit, but in that case, of course, the
thing would have defeated its own ends.
1t was arranged especially TO raise some
much needed money for the home and
tho seats must be sold, although a few
Of the children occupied one of the
stage boxes.
Every seat in the house was filed
and programmes were distributed for

February Meeting to Define
Feminine Views on Preven-
ton of Future Wars
Tribune Washington Bureau

WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.-Miss Jane
national president of the International
Committee of Women for Permanent
Peace, accompanied by Mrs. Louis f.
Post, wife of the Assistant Secretary
Of the Department Of Labor. called
upon Secretary of State Lansing to-day
to ask if the State Department knew
OF any objections to the issuing OF
passports TO American women desirous
of attending the world meeting of the
committee, which probably will be held
in February.
Mr. Lansing said he knew of no OBJ
jections, but that the applica ton for
passports would have to be made in the
regular way through the Bureau Of
Passports.
Miss Adams stated that it was de-
cided at a meeting of the committee
at The Hague in 1915, shortly after
the arrival of the Ford peaca expedi-
ton, ,r.that another meeting should be
held during the fifth week of the peace
conference
Peace Farley May Be Over
It was then believed that the peace
conference would be greatly prolonged
and that the views of the women of
the world in regard to the character
of the peace that ought to be estab-
lished might have their influence upon
the plenipotentiaries. Miss Adams
thought to-day that the peace confer
cnce might be over, or nearly ever, be-
lore the women can assemble.
Miss Adams said there would be a
meeting of the American committee in
Boston next Monday, when the date
OF the women's congress and the place
of meeting would be decided 1t had
been desired, she said, that the con-
gress be held at the seat of the peace
conference, but she supposed the
French government would object to a
congress being held in Paris, which
would be attended by German and Aus
trian women, Sc that it probably would
meet in Holland, at The Hague or Ans
terdam-
Advocates Durable Peace
The committee, Miss Adams de-
clared, was organized in twenty coun-
tries. Its object, she asserted. was
never to advocate immediate peace, but
the establishment of durable peace,
and she added that the committees 8
platform is very much like President
Wilson's fourteen points.
ut is partly for the education OF
women" she continued, "and partly
to let the world Know what women are
thinking about. The last thing that
We want to do is to embarrass or i'm
pede or appear to be absurd"
Miss Addams said she had not re-
piled to the appeal of the women Of
Germany, addressed to her, to use her
influence to modify the terms Of the
armistice. She had communicated with
friends in Washington with respect to
the appeal. The State Department
was consulted and advised that no re-
ply should be sent.

The women worked in units, living

The statement of the board declares
that no work proved too hard for these

tasks. Farmer after farmer, skeptical
at first, soon declared that women were
the equal of men, supplying in added
