Barnard College. rather than the new

the young women members Of the

This statement was made Yesterday
by Mrs. Courtland I. Barnes. acting
Dresident Of the league and chairman

lished stories Of split in the or

for Social Research" "
There IS no split or any contro-
versy." said Mrs Barnes at thc Office
Of the league, a. ~ West Thirty-ninth
Street. I'VE decided not to advise at
tendance at the new school simply be
cause its courses were found to be too
advanced for our members. 1t was ar
ranged for mature students in polit-
ical science and economics, whereas our
members are girls only a year or two

school, it was stated in the course of
an effort to direct the members of
ton in economies and social science"
and because Of the radical tendencies
OF these professors the more conser-

their voices in protest.
Mrs. Barnes, however. denied that
the radical character of the new
school had any connection with the
decision of the league against it.
"Soon after the end Of the war the
girls decided they must not drop their
serious public work. she said They

unusual for an Italian, above all for
an Italian operate artist. Duparc's
"Phidyle,' Dcbussy's Romance" and
the Rove from "Manon" he gave with
exquisite finish. Indeed, it is not too
much to say that Mr. Carpi was heard
to better advantage in song recital
than he ever was heard on the stage

was warm in it's demonstrations of en-

APPEALS
FOR COAT FUNDS
Dorsey Urges People to Give
Money for Battalion Over
coats Did Good Work

Armed with a letter from Mayor
Frank Dorsey in which he urges citi-
zens to contribute literally to the fund
to purchase overcoats for the Perth
Amboy battalion of the state Militia
Reserve, thirty-five solicitors, men,
bers of the battalion, are making the
rounds of the city IN an effort to raise
sufficient money with which to outfit
the entire battalion with ~overcoats.
The service the men gave during
the disaster n epidemic periods in
the city, coupled with the fact that
they are eve ready to answer any
summons for guarding property and
lives here, is one of the convincing
arguments being used by the solicit
tors to get funds.
The mayors letter follows:
The governor of New Jersey,
through the ~adjutant generals office,
has specifically recommended that
this community support a movement
to secure additional equipment for
the Perth Amboy Council of Defense.
las mayor of the city and chair
man of the Perth Amboy Council OF
Defense, l concur in this recommend
alton.
Two hundred and fifty Perth Am
boy guards and nine hundred and
fifty out-of-town guards gave 60, 600
hours of service valued at $50, 600 al
the time of the explosion. You no
doubt recall how the members of this
organization responded to the call al
2 o'clock in the morning, October s,
and from that time did guard duty
until all danger was past. They pro
tected homes, n the property of our
merchants, while a large proportion
of the people left the city, seeking
safety elsewhere.
The Council of Defense in con.
junction with Congressman Scully ant
Senator Frelinghuysen, secured fol
you a senate investigation and redress
for damages to your property.
1.-The Council of Defense were in
strumental in removing the $4,000
damage clause in explosion insurance
settlements. They performed man,
other civic duties.
"Our Council of Defense deserev!
your most generous support and
trust your subscription will be a testi
monial of appreciation of the grea'
service rendered"
