THE CRITIC TALKS
TO MUSIC LOVERS
Weekly Comment on Things
Musical in Discriminating
Philadelphia

THE new policy to be followed by
the Philharmonic Society will he
universally approved by the music low
ing people of Philadelphia for mum
her OF reasons. One Of the principal
ones is that all the soloists at the con
ccrts are to be selected from the ranks
OF local musicians. and another is that
the programs will not be built around
a complete symphonic number of the
heavyweight class
The Philadelphia Orchestra supplies
about all the real demand in the city
Tor symphonic music, and, with its reg
ular rehearsals, TO say nothing of the
other advantages which il unqucstion
ably has over all other orchcstrus here.
no matter how good the personnel Of
these orchestras may be, it is in po-
sltlon to do far better work in this rc-
spect than any other organization can
possibly hope to do
The mission of the Philharmonic So
ciety is to- supplement the work of the
Philadelphia Orchestra and other exist
ing musical organizations and not in
any way to set itself up as possible
rival The present directorate of the
Philharmonic realizes that by cultivat.
ing assiduouslv its own field there is
ample room for it's existence and that it
may thus become potent factor in the
musical life of the city.

Suddenly the twins thought OF

almost forgotten about them. And
soon they were scrambling up the

where the bells were. And what do
you think they saw Old Mrs. Bat
had hold Of the kite and was pulling
him around all over the place. And
the string had got tangled around
the bells. and every time Mrs. Bat

RESULT OF HESITATION.

Aside from the military effect, the capture of Odessa on the Black Sea. by the Bolshevil<i Is a striking victory for the Reds. The importance of in- cluding Odessa in the Bolshevik circle lies in the nature of the surrounding country, which includes extensive agricultural regions and rich mineral deposits, opening to the invaders new resources of grain and coal for which they have been seriously pressed.
 About 5O.000 French, Greek and Rumanian soldiers occupied the. city but were unable to withstand a nu- mericaI1y stronger force coming down from the north. Another chapter is added to the book of indecision and hesitancy in the Allied military pro- gram. The Bolshevik menace is rec ognized as threatening Europe and eventually the world. Yet less than two divisions of soldiers were sent to stem the tide at one of the most vital points on the entire front Half
 
 disaster and while the Allied Icgions were able to withdraw intact, the fact cannot be overlooked that it was a defeat and a, serious one While the Allies ponder, the Bo1sheviki gain new strength and new recruits. Soon it may be too late. Soon the problem may be so staggering that no military force can cope with it.

LLOYD GEORGES STAND.

YIoyd George has developed into he mystery man of the Peace Con- terence. Throughout the de1ibera- aEor1s of the delegates he has stead Sastly. supported the arguments of SP President Wilson. In fact his atti- Nude has stren gthened the hope that
 he combined moral forces of the Emitted States and England would pro- @aote speedier decisions and would re- zsault in the formulation of terms at sHn early date.
 M British critics, in the government @nd in the press, are at g. loss to ex- 8ladn his anomalous speeches and Monduct. Apparently he desired to hold
 sp the arm Of Wilson. But more re- 1sssntly he has been pledging the sup @ort of Great Britain to France Msaanst an invasion on the part of the sS ernans even fifty years hence. The Public in general will confess to an
 aabiIity to fathom his words. Tt is Generally believed that France insists lNal maximum territorial awards.

Return of the Yankees.
lNeW York Herald,l

Boston and New England are find ing in the return of the Yankee divi- sion ample Justification for throwing off habltual reserve and for giving these sturdy young men a, welcome Of such magnitude that it will be remern- bered in city and town, seaport and countryside for many a, year. And well they may, for the soldiers of New England--men of the old stock and the younger line alike-have meas ured up to the high standard of that historic section of the republic. Among the very first of the troops from the old National Guard forces to go to France, they also were of the first American organizations to take part in the fighting. More than most of the other units drawn from the National Guard they took part in battles ill widely separated areas, and everywhere they were enga ged they achieved important results.
 Coming from the Environs of Bunker Hill, Plymouth, Salem, Lex ington. Concord. Bennington, New port, New Bedford, Hartford and oth- CT places of historic fame attention was focused upon them especially to see if the old virile strain in the later day runs true and in full vigor Tt is a matter for eongratula ton outside of New England as well as within it's boundaries to see ample evidence of the spirit and stamina of the new Yankees.
 The arrival of the transports bring ing these victorious soldiers to Boston harbor naturally brings to mind the coming of the forefathers on their mission to plant liberty in the New World. Their sons of the ninth and tenth generations retraced the path way Of the Atlantic to make certain that liberty shall not perish in the Old World nor be menaced here.

THE CHARITY DRIVE.

New Britain's drive for the benefit of several charity organizations is well under way with prospects that it will equal, if not exceed, the anticipations of those who pinned their faith to such an undertaking. The great ap- peal in connection with the cam paign, an appeal that is sensed by all who read is that the organizations for which the money is being collect ed are deserving of support. Each in it's respective niche fills a want and without all of them the city would be unable to discharge it's responsi- bilities toward those who require as- sistance.
 The aggregate amount sought is about $4O,000. New Britain should be able to contribute q, much larger sum. The money will be expended in New Britain for New Britain.

NEGRESS LOSES IN
 ALIENATION SUIT
Jury Decides That Lawyers Wife Did Not Win Negro Chauffeur's
 Affections.

New York, April 10.--After being out only 10 minutes, a jury in Justice Wagner's part of the supreme court decided yesterday that Mrs. Augusta L. Mott, 64 year old wife of George F. Mott wealthy retired lawyer, did not alienate the affections of Albert King, her negro chauffeur, and that the lat ter's wife, Julia, King, was not entitled to recover damages. The negress sued for $50,OO0.
 Justice Wagner charged the jurors that they must not be influenced by the plaintiffs s color. He added that if no affection existed between King and his wife, none could be alienated.
 MT. Mott and his wife sat side by side in the court room as the verdict was announced. Both showed remark able composure throughout the trial which lasted three days. His testi- mony, shaving his confidence in his wife, was one of the strongest points for the defense.
 The negress based her suit almost entirely on q letter which Mrs Mott admitted having written to the chauf- feur and which began My Dearest Good Boy" Mrs. Mott explained that King had been a faithful and efficient servant for seven years, and that she had only a "m otherly affection" for him,
