Irish Tenor at MetropolItan-sInes
Sonus Old and New

John Mccormack, in excellent voice
and humor. returned to the Metropol-
itan last night to find every seat taken
and hundreds standing. The Irish tenor

on closer terms With his audience.
The folk songs, ''The Harp That
Once Through Tara S Halls" Molly
Brannigan,F "Bendemeer's Stream"
and "Pastheen Fionn," may have
pleased, but when he stopped after
singing Liza Lehmann's "Ah Moon of
My Delight" the audience accorded
Mr.. Mccormack a remarkable ova-
tion.
It was the last song. For moment
no one moved, and then suddenly like
artillery the house broke into mad
dened applause. For nearly five min =
utes the ovation continued as the
singer appeared and reappeared to ac-
knowledge the applause. A few suburb
antics attempted to leave-the ap-
plause then became deafening and fin
ally Mccormack returned and sang
"Motber of Mine.
'Il MILO Tesoro," from Don Giovanni
was the opening number. Winston Will
kinson, new violinist in these parts
followed with a concerto in ID minor
by Wieniawski. The young violinist
was received rather well. Edwin
Schneider, as usual, was the accom-
plished accompanist and gratefully &C
knowledyed the applause when Mr.. Nc
Cormack sang his "Only You"

ARCHEP|SCOPAL
APPEAL FOR
MODERATION
IN MEXICO
UNITED Press servrce)

WASHINGTON, April a. = Three
Roman Catholic archbishops of Mex
leo, now in exile, have issued an ap-
peal for moderation in dealings be-
tween the United States and Mexico,
in which appeal they are joined by
Sc 900 members of churches in their
respective arch dioceses within the
republic.
The appeal declares that small aud
foolish, but very powerful minorities
in both the United States and Mex
leo are seeking to embroil the Two
countries and it warns the people OF
both nations to beware of their in
imical influences.
The archbishops uniting in the aH-
peal are Jiminez of Guadalajara,
Ruiz of Michoacan and Plancarte Of
Linares. They declare that in Mex
leo there are a few aliens who are
fostering anarchy and that Mexicans
are "angered by unwarranted inter-
vention in their domestic concerns by
those without right to participate y
Although bitter against the pres
ent federal government of Mexico,
which they claim has despoiled the
church of much property, and scat
tered it's priests and teachers, the
archbishops plead that Mexico be al
lowed to solve her own destiny.

headed by Manuel L. Quezon, presi-

acted as spokesman for the party. In
addressing the Secretary of War on
behalf of himself and colleagues, Mr..
Quezon declared:
"The people of the PHILIPPINE Is
lands have stood by the people of the
United States in their great fight for
the rights and liberties of small ma
tions, and trusts that the American
people will recognize in the PHILIPPINES
the same rights for which they have
contended in Europe. If the United
States grants independence to the FL
lipinos it will prove again that Amer
lea is liberating nation rather than
conquering one.
MI. Quezon declared:
"The history of American occupa-
ton in the Islands is replete with
achievements that are great, with re-
suits that are splendid. You have
truly treated us as no nation has ever
before treated another that was un-
der its sway"
Mr.. Baker told the mission that the
time is close when Filipino indepen-
dence will be formally accomplished,
and existing relations are merely for
malities." He read in part a letter
from President Wilson expressing
regret that he cannot meet the mis-
sion personally, and expressing a
nope that the mission may succeed in
bringing about the desirable end set
forth in the joint resolution of the
Phlllipine Legislature, approving
sending to the United States the mis-
sion" now visiting Washington.
