YOUNG VIOLINIST
GIVES THRILL TO
HER HEARERS
Miss Olga Either Plays al
Benefit for Mount st.
Mary'S Seminary, As
sisted by Hazel True.

A violin recital was given Satur-
day evening at the Brandeis theater
by Olga Either, assisted by Hazel
True, pianist and the Mount St.
Mary's Choral society, for the bene-
fit Of the Building Fund for Mount
St. Mary's Seminary, Sisters of

Miss Either is one of Omaha's
younger violinists, but she made her
first appearance here many years
ago as a child prodigy when she
Immediately won recognition for
her extraordinary talent. The last
time we heard her was several years
ago when she played the Mendel-
sshon Concerto in Metropolitan
hall, quite taking our breath with
the broad beauty of her tone and
the freedom Of her Interpretation.
She has a big talent and very
musical temperament, and with
proper training great things may be
expected of her in the future.
Miss Either draws a sure bow,
and is capable of much brilliancy
She played with great care last eve
ming, but hardly with the abandon

usual talent.
She opened her program last eve
ming with the concerto Romantique,
opus, IS by GODDARD, playing it in its
entirety gaining a beautiful tone
quality in the Adagio and working
up to a brilliant climax at the close.
Andate Cantilena from the con-
certo in A minor, by Goltermann,
which opened the second group was
also most acceptable, but Miss Either
was at her best in the Gypsy Airs,
BY Sarasate.
Miss Either plays with poise and
assurance which is delightful.
She was enthusiastically received
by the audience and responded with
numerous encores. Miss Hazel
True at the piano, followed Miss
Either excellently in her unobtru-
sive accompaniment.
The Mount St. Mary's Choral
Society proved to be a large society

tributed two groups of songs to the

There was a large audience pres

mass meeting will be held at 1880
this evening in the church for the
purpose of discussing social hygiene
as outlined by the government

BY JAY JEROME WILLIAMS.
(Staff Correspondent of Universal Service.)

Paris, Feb 22.-(By Radio via London.) Optimism
regns at the Quai dOsay today One forecast has it that
by the time President Wilson returns to France the negoa
ons will have reached such stage to make possible the
opening sessions with the German for signing the treaty
proper.
If this is the case it that peace will be
compshed fact by the middle of April the first of May at
the latest
Thereafter, however the allies will still continue to
work many complex questions that have arisen since
the conference opened here The for the optimism
tonight in the agreement the final armistce terms
which will form the basis of treaty of peace.
Omaha daily bee. (Omaha [Neb.]) 187?-1922, 1919-02-23

In this connection, though these
terms must not be confused with
the terms given to the Germans at
Treves by Marshal Foch two days
ago, under the present arrange
ments those terms operate continu-
ally in 72-hour stretches with the
allies retaining the privilege of ter
minating the agreement at any time
after the conclusion of the first "
hours.
The conditions simply constitute
renewal of the old terms.
Four Main Points.
The main points of the new and
final terms follow:
1-Reduction of the German
navy to impotency to a greater
degree than it has been re-
duced by the surrender of the
fleet and submarines to the
allies.
2-Reduction of the German
army to Is divisions not ex-
ceeding $4,000 each together
with an added provision against
its concentration on the west
ern front.
3-Demolition of the Ger
man Notifications on the west
ern front.
EControl of the German
munitions, which will undoubt-
edly mean occupation of the
larger German munitions CEN
tiers by the allies.
Abolish German CONSUMPTION.
One proposition, which is at pres
ent being considered, has to do with
Germany's military future, and il
sentiment crystallizes in favor of it

Greater Necessity of Work

Pershing Praises Work
Head of Organization Says
He Took Abroad Every
Complaint To Be Probed

Dr. John R. Mott, head Of the Y NJ.

ago on business of the organization and
to set afoot an investigation of an ac-
emulation of complaints against the
"Y," returned yesterday on the Holland
American liner Noordam, which also
brought troops from the A. E. f.
DR.. Mott had a talk with GeneraA
Pershing who praised the work of the
"Y.," and after careful survey of the
tasks ahead of the organization in
France, he said it might be necessary to
call upon the American people for fur
ther financial assistance.
II was greatly impressed with the
magnitude of the work." Dr. Mott said
THE fact that our boys are returning tc

they want the work to go on, even if
we have to make another call for
money"
Quoting General Pershing, DR.. Mott
said: "The thing that has impressed
me day after day in the work Of the
'Y' is the courage and initiative to
undertake great things. The most
wonderful thing of the war is that
100000 American boys will go home
and with pride call to the attention of
their children and grandchildren the
fact that they belonged to an army
that kept itself clean. Never in the
history of the world has there been
anything TO compare with the whole
someness of the American army in
France"
Dr. Mott said he took abroad q large
number of letters that had to do with
specific complaints against the "Y"
in France.
AZ took over with me every COM
plant that was made against the or
ganization," he said, land every one
of them is undergoing careful exam
ination. The smallest and apparently
most trivial complaint is receiving the
same careful investigation as the
concerning which there is great cause
for complaint is small in contrast with
the enormous volume of constructive
patriotic service that is being rem
dered. The big work of our organiza-
tion meets with sincere appreciation
and little or no criticism"

praise of the Salvation Army from the
lips of the Weep President of the

Tribute From Soldier
General Vanderbilt paid a hearty
tribute to the Salvation Army's SER
vices in France.
We never saw them except when
I'VE needed them most" he said. "When
a town was taken in an advance, as
socn as the snipers had been mopped
up, the Salvation Army was there. I
cannot tell you where they came from
or how they got there, but they were
there. And can tell you that if you had
been there you would come back with
feeling of gratitude in your hearts
toward that wonderful organization-
that army within the army"
when the call came to war there
was no lack of preparedness on the
part of this army" said Ex-Governor
Whitman. This army was ready,
equipped, trained and prepared. And
while we in no way reflect upon the
magnificent and unselfish labors and
successful work of the other organi-
zations engaged in war welfare ac-
tivities, this comparatively small band
of devoted men and devoted women NAV
rejoice in the fact that the returning
soldiers of the flag are giving to-day
unstinted praise for the services so
abundantly and SO unwaveringly rem
dered our soldiers and our army, the
armies of our Allies and the armies Of
the right by these soldiers of the
cross.
