WILSON OPPOSES EMPOWERING

WASHINGTON, May 15.-President

would regard the passage Of the
chamberlain resolution empowering
the senate military committee to in

lpartment as a "dlrect vote of lack of
confidence in him and an attempt 70
take the conduct of the war out of his
hands"
The President write a letter declar-
ing that the constitution defines exc

knows where the responsibility lies,
and responsible ones can be held to
their duty.
He declared that every supporter Of
the administration should oppose the
resolution, and said these are seri-

Many regard the letter as the Presi-

The Presidents letter was addressed
to Senator Martin of Virginia, demo-
cratic leader. Martin read the letter
and too hastily summoned a confer

later submitted by Thompson to the
senate committee on audit and con-

NOISELESS MUSIC

MIGHT WIN WAR

PHILADELPHIA, May 15.-The
noiseless piano is on the way. and the
young lady in the flat above soon will
cease to terrify.
Mrs. Mary HallocIS Greenwalt has
been demonstrating to friends here a
mechanical apparatus which plays
piano music in colors. 1t simply gives
the correct color value" of each note,
and makes you feel as though you
were listening to music. when. as a
matter of fact, you're only looking at
music.
Mrs. Greenwalt, before her mar
rIage was a concert pianist OF some
standing. and therefore doesn't play
ragtime in colors, but her 'Triumphal
March" from Aida is said to I've a
fine combination OF rich purples and

Il Is predicted that a very particular
bridal pair may have the Lohengrin
music in white and conventional blach.
or may choose a program to match the
brides hair.
American military bands, equipped
with variations of Mrs. Greenwalt's
device. might drive the foe Into
frothing rage by projecting over his
lines such airs as "what'll We Do
with Him. Boys?" or might blind
whole regiments with jazz music, 1t is
pointed out.
