Prices were unchanged at cents for fine granulated.

GALLtCURCPS SONG.
CHOICE ED|SAPFPO|NTS

Nine. Galli-Curci failed to arouse the
degree of enthusiasm in her recital
at the National Theater yesterday
afternoon that usually attends the
singing of this coloratura soprano of
the mellow tones and flute-like
smoothness of execution. The choice
of program seemed in large measure
responsible for a certain restraint in
the huge audience that filled the the
ater. the stage, and all available
standing room.
Why is it that an artist who has
achieved renown such as Nine. Amelita
Galli-Curci, through a type of art in
dividually her own and in which she
is peerless in her own epoch, should
deliberately forsake that field and
give, in recital, a program of songs
that are not suited to her and
TIN ough which she has little to con-
tribute?
Three Selections Suited.
With but three exceptions, the
singer OF bird-Iilte trills, and luscious
tones in florid runs and amazing
grace and ease, was not i'm evidence.
These three selections, the "Care
Selve" of Handel, Carnival di We
nezia" of Benedict. and the "Qui la
voce" from BellinTs T Puritani"
showed the dainty coloratura in her
own sphere, however. There is a
dulcet ease and beauty in the free
dom of her coloratura singing. al
though Nine. Galli-Curci has sung in
better voice than she was in yester-
day. for the remarkable mellowness
OF her upper register, that she
Sustains to her topmost note, was
somewhat maTred and strained by a
slight hoarseness
1t is always a small voice. but so
full of beauty. and her breath con-
troll in long sustained tones and in
her warm-toned trills make them
unique in the singers art. In this
music one finds a charm and finish
sucn as the Violinist can give in his
subtle nuances.
In her songs in English. and in
many OF her French songs there was
too much Carefulness to give free
dom to expression or meaning. Par
ticular beauty there was in the mid
die voice, and the songs were musical,
but the art of Interpretation re-
quires more than that, to hold the
interest. The "Depuis lie jour" from
Charpentier's Louise was a lovely
vocaIization. but it had not the pas

awakening of love.

TAFT BACKS PEACE
AIMS OF PRESIDENT

Former President William Howard
support of President Wilson's prin-
ciples of a league of nations.
1t was in the. course of a remark
able address before the National
Geographic Society that Mr.. Taft up
held the President in maintainins
that the establishment of a league Of
nations is not only vital to the future
peace of the world but also to the
creation of the half-dozen republics
promised in the famous fourteen
points.
Citing the experiences OF the United
States in Cuba, Mr.. Taft asserted that
they should teach US how uncertain
is the fate of a new republic unless
it has a protector which can guide 1t
along until it is able to stand on its
own feet.
He said the proposed league of ma
tions must be a protector to the new
iy-formed, or about-to reformed
states, such as the Ukraine. the Bal
tic provinces of Russia, of Finland,
and Czecho -Slovakia.
Check to Germany.
In the growth of property OF
these new states, Mr.. Taft saw the
will prevent her from spreading into
Russia and thwart her ambition for
the control Of middle Europe to Bag
dad and the Persian Gulf.
Mr.. Taft further mentioned the
proposed new states of the Jugoslavs,
Palestine. Armenia and the Caucasus,
which also will need the aid and pro-
lection of the league of nations.
Speaking of the final disposition Of
the German colonies. Mr.. Taft said he
did not believe they ought to be
given to Great Britain, but should be
internationalized and placed under
the control and administration of the
league OF nations itself.
Were we to turn her colonies
over to Great Britain or France"
Mr.. Taft said, there would at once
arise a suspicion that the trustee
was exploiting the colonies for the
benefit of it's home people. The ac
QUESTION of these lands by any one
or another government would give
the appearance OF selfishnesS to the
aims of the allies in the war. What
is true of the German colonies is also
true of Constantinople. 1t must be
internationalized."
No Loss of Sovereignty.
Answering the objection of some in
dividuals that by entering the LeagU"
of Nations the United StGtes would
lose its sovereignty as nation, aru
charaCteriZing this criticism as l
"bugs boo" Mr.. TAFT said:
We do not propose to limit th"
freedom Of action Of nation in th.
lG Gague TO enforce peace by anything
more than tho rules of international
law or of deCency and moral conduct
and good form. The sovereignty IF
every nation will be stabilized by en-
abling the small nations equally ~
enjoy the benefits of international law
without maintaining armed forces to
secure their rights and prevent mur-
der and robbery and drive off the
tOOtpadS among nations
Mr.. Taft declared in favor OF the
Monroe doctrine. asserting that, far
from endanGerinG this princlple. the
League of Nations is a mere extcn.
sion of the doctrine throughout the
world.
