Wilson Will Win
AS Lincoln Did,
Asserts DR.. Wise
Presidents Aims Are Like
Those of Martyred
Predecessor

"Wilson will win the war as surely as
Lincoln won in 1861"
With this prediction Dr. Stephen S.
Wise, rabbi Of the Free Synagogue,
stirred capacity congregation in Car
negie Hal! yesterday. The statement
constituted the summation of sermon
on Lincoln, the Legend, and Wilson,
Tie Man." in which the martyred Presi-
dent and the present occupant of the
White House were compared and found
to be similax in their "undauntcd de-
sire for democracy" and in the char
acter of their ideals.
Lincoln moved cautiously, so does
Wilson, said DR.. Wise, after compar-
ing the war problems and aspirations
which each encountered and held.
"Lincoln took the long view. so does
Wilson. Lincoln lifted war to higher
level, so does Wilson. Lincoln won the
war and ended slavery; Wilson will
win the war and end war"
DR.. Wise said he meant no disparagc-
ment of Lincoln the man by referring
to him as "lcgend." 1t is fact, he
declared, that the martyrcd President,
half century after his death, became
a legendary figure "as much so as any
figure Of 1000 years ago" THIS, he
said, was due not to Lincoln's tragic
end, but because nc dared to be
"siinply, honestly, majestically him
self" On such men, said DR.. Wise.
people bestow something of the super
man.
Lincoln Criticized, Too
III WONDER" he continued, eff those
who criticize Wilson to day realize that
Lincoln WAS bitterly criticized while he
was President. Lincoln was charged
with being tyraHt, an autocrat, Il
traitor to his country. He was accused
on the one hand of being overcautious,
and on the other with being too pre-
clpltatc in going to war. When you see
tyrant, but one who is great enough to
be simply himself.
"To-day the same kind Of clamor is
raised against the President as was
hurled against Lincoln. Much of the
criticism of Lincoln then and Of Wilson
to-day was wholly unrelated to any
national issue. Much was personal to
the man himself. Those who said Lin
coin made war too late wanted their
own selfish partisan opinions to pre-
vail; those who said he went in too
early were the peace-at-any- price sort
OF patriots whose voices are lifted to-
day.
"In those trying days fifty years ago
Lincoln uttered no bitter word against
the enemy; to-day Wilson has spoken
10 bitter word-no demand for ven
geancc. Let us all give him our loyal
t.y, our whole-hcartel support. He's an
American and man."

The Light Within" is a significant

indeed the windows of her soul; but
this must not be about Petrova, it
must be about Petrova's new picture,

give expression to it.
The Light Within" is quite different
from any of Madame Petrova's previ-

Music
Giuseppe De Luca Heard in
Recital at Carnegie
Hall

Hiuscppe dc Luca is one of those rare
operate artists who are ablc tn amman

carnegie Hall at his first New York re-
c'tal--proved it conclusively before a
large and enthusiastic audience.

huI" voice, as Its merits arc now
widely known. 1t can be said in this
regard that he was never in hetter
vocal condition. But it was as an in
{erpreter that his triumph was marked.
IN 'nc Italian group, especially in Gior-
danl's Caro- mio ben," his style was
exquisite, though this, perhaps. was not
unexpected. Its grace, its suavity, the
beauty OF his mezs0 uoce were all thrice
admirable. Yet Mr.. De Luca was none
me tn less admirable in Debussy's Beau
Soir,", in Duparc's "Phidyle" and in
Gretchaninow's "Quand In hache
tombe." Most remarkable Of all was
his singing of II. J. Burleigh's arrange
ment OF Swing Low, Sweet Chariot"
in which he brought out most admir-
ably the negro spirit, and, oddly to
state, the negro dialect.
10 those who know the average
Italian opera singer it seemed incrcdi-
bic indeed that Mr. Dc Luca should
catch SO happily the style and atmos-
rherc of this old spiritual. The after
l, room was a delightful one, for every
lnlhg that the singer accomplished was
sincere, we'll considered, we'll sustained
Lvcn his use Of fasetto unusual with
an Italian, could not have been more

consc scrvatism of the "Moscow school,"
but few have any musical evidence for
the instructive respect they pay him.
The three songs from his pen which
Miss Gauthler sang yesterday were by

Tor they showed a poetic imagination
and tenderness Of sentiment not un-
worthy Of comparison with those Of
Robert Franz.
