Nearly 1000 shell-shocked soldier pa
tients of st. Elizabeth's Hospital wit
messed a performance of Gilbert and
Sullivan's Pirates of Penzanee" last
night at the institution and incident
ally proved a theory that music will
do a great deal toward restoring to
normal the nervous systems of men
who are on the verge of insanity BY
reason of their having been exposed
to the terrific explosions in warfare.
The performance was given under
the auspices of the War Camp Com
munity Service, and the men gathered
in Hitchcock Hall. Dennis Cohnell,
the dramatic director of the perform
ance. was congratulated by the au-
dience for his part in the presentation.
A large number OF the men present
wore the navy uniform.
The presentation lasted nearly two
hours. The performers gave their
services gratis, and were warmly ap-
plauded by the audience. The hos
pital authorities were well pleased with
both the performance and the conduct
of the men attending it.
The Pirates of Penzance" became
famous nearly a decade ago, and be-
cause of its tuneful numbers and the
soft music was considered especially
fitted for presentation before men

As was explained at the time that
for buildings OF the
portable type were asked for, resort
to them is made necessary by labor
conditions and the high cost of
building materials. which will make
the erection OF permanent structures
too costly a proposition for some
time to come.
The portable buildings are also
the best type to meet the emer-
gency because they can be put up in
a few weeks time, and can be moved
about as desired.

CORTOT Scores;
PREMIER HERE
French Pianist Proves Mas
terry at Shubert-
Belasco.

Alfred Cortot gave his first recital
in Washington yesterday and 1t
easily was the most unique and in
teresting heard here this season. Pro-
grammed as "the great French
pianist" Cortot proved the boast of
his admirers that he undoubtedly is
Frances greatest pianist.
The pianist creates the belief that
the story's the thing, that technique
is secondary and he doesn't hesitate
TO sacrifice technique when it is neces-
sary in painting the picture. 1t was
in picture painting that Cortot intro
duced the innovation which made his
recital the superlatiye in interest. This
innovation was in giving a title, or
story in words on the program, for
each Of Chopin's Twenty-four Pre-
ludes
such a procedure denotes extreme
courage. but Cortot justified the dar-
ing that he exhibited in his painting
Of pictures in tone colors. On the
conventional program, the fifteenth of
the Twenty-four Preludes. for In
stance, is described: Is. Sostenuto-D
flat major.
To this Cortot added: "A young
mother rocking her child-she is half
oaACCp AltlStAA- \ III
shows her the scaffold which is wait
ing for her son. While the awaken
ing dispels her hallucination, it leaves
her disquieted.'
These words told what the music
meant to Cortot. After the audience
had read his Interpretation of the
music the pianist told that picture in
sound
The first offerings. VivaldPs Con-
certo da Camera and Chopin's An
dante Spianato ct Polonaise. were
given with remarkable skill. but they
served only to properly introduce the
feature Of recital, Les VinGt-quatre
Preludes. Then followed Chabrier' s
'Idylle, Saint-Saen Etude en- Forme
de Nalse and Debussy's La Cathedrale
Engloutie. Minstrels, La File aux
cheveux de lin. and Ce qua WI le
vent d'Quest. Before the finale, the
Liszt Rhapsody. Cortot played AL
beniz' Malaguena. He gave no en-
cores, but his failure to supplement
the program was not due to the au-
dience's lack of appreciation.
The Washington Fine Arts Enter
prises and the managing director. Ona
B. Talbot, are to be congratulated for
bringing COrtOt to Washington.

Some other I=.emedI:ry.
Mr.. Becker stated that it seemed
improbable that Bernstorff would
have advised his government to in

he apparently knew so little, and
that the authorities investigating
the plot were convinced that theru
must have been some other inter-
mediary besides Pavenstadt

witness to ask.

The money for the purchase of
the Paris paper was forwarded to
Bolo. through three American bank
ing institutions, G. VI. Amsinck and
Company. of New York; The Royal

that G. NJ. Amsinck and Company
had been the only one of the three
to understand thoroughly the nature
of the transaction. An attempt to
interest the Bethlehem Steel Com
pany, through the president of the
company, +. G. Grace. in the pro-
ject, was described by Mr.. Becker,
as a part Of BolO's camoufage to
conceal the true purpose of his visit

Becker declared. he attempted to

The Washington herald., 1918-12-20

With the lifting of the ban on
building operations imposed by the
War Industries Board. the District
government is now prepared to 90
ahead with the construction of forty
additional portable school houses,
according to Brigadier General
Charles w. KutZ, Engineer Com
missioner.
Contract has just been let for the
forty structures, and the Board of
Education Is indicating the sites
where they are wanted. They are
being paced in the most congested
districts to relieve the situation
where pupils have been placed on a
-half-time basis.
Gen. Kutz stated that the District
now has about twenty of these
small structures, 25 by 40 feet, and
capable of accommodating about
thirty or forty pupils. He added
that something over 1921. 600 is al
ready available for the immediate
erection of these buildings, which
was halted when the War Indus
tries Board only allowed the Dis
trict government to proceed with
the erection of twenty out of the
sixty authorized.
Want Twenty-four More.
In addition to the sixty buildings
mentioned above, the new District
Appropriation Bill. which is being
considered by the Senate's subcom-
Inittee on appropriations. calls for
the authorization of twenty-four
more portable buildings to relieve
crowded conditions in the schools.

RED CROSS FUND FAR OVER.
South Carolina and Several Other
States Tripled Their Quotas.

Washington, June 2.-The Ameri-
can Red Cross second war mercy
fund totals $166,439,291, with indi-
cations that when all reports from
the drive Of a week ago are tabulat-
ed $70,000,000 over-subscription of
the $100,000,000 goal will be shown,
In announcing the figures tonight,
Henry p. Davidson, chairman OF the
Red Cross War Council, said the re-
turns show that more than 47,0O0,-
600 Americans--nearly half the total
population of the country-contrib
uted. Those giving to the first fund
last year numbered only about g.
000,0 ,000.
Not only did every Red Cross di-
vision in the country oversubscribe,
but one (the Gulf turned in more
than three times the amount of its
quota, while five others, the South
ern, Atlantic, Mountain, Northwest
ern- and southwestern, more than
doubled their allotmentns. The in
sular and foreign divisions Guadru-
pied its 100000 quota. Every State
attained its goal, Ave more than trip
led it and 16 others and the District
of Columbia more than doubled
theirs.
The supreme feature Of this
achievement" said Mr.. Davidson's
statement, "is to be found not in the
amount of money subscribed, but in
that 1t came from every part Of the
United States, from its cities, its
towns, It's factories, from the rich and
the poor, regardless of sect, color or
political creed.
mo American wants thanks be-
cause his country has so richly full
filled her obligation, but I do con-
gratulate every American who has
contributed either time or money to-
wards this, the greatest work of
mercy, pity and love in the history
Of mankind"
The States tripling their quotas
were Alabama, Mississippi, South
Carolina, Wyoming and Arizona, and
those more than doubling their allot-
ment were Louisiana, Tennessee,
Texas. New Jersey, Connecticut,
Michigan, Nebraska, Colorado, New
Mexico, New Hampshire, North Da-
kota, Washington, Idaho, Delaware,
