joined with Mr.. Moore in speeches at
tacklng the corporation. They urged
its early discontinuance in the inter-
est of economy Mr.. Fess also de-
ciared that continuance of the corpor-

Appeal to People Proposed
It developed tonight that, in addi-
tion to the sentimental appeal to the
hearts of the mothers and fathers who
do not want their boys to go to war
again, practical appeal will be made
to obtain the approval Of the country
for the league of nations plan by the
President and his supporters.
This argument-new in that it has
not been publicly used thus far-is
levelled at the contention Of opponents
of the league that, while there is q
possibility that the new league may be
a good thing for the world at large, it
would be much better for the United
States, looking at the matter in pure
ly selfish light, to get back to the
status quo ante-to the good old days
of isolation and the Monroe Doctrine.
In answer to that contention it will
be said that America has a most vital.
selfish issue in the establishment of
the new league, because of the fact
that foreign countries now owe this
country in the neighborhood of $8,0OO,-
100000, or about $50 for every man,
woman and child in the United States.
The only possibility of ever obtaining
this money, it is pointed out, is to bring
about reduction of expenditures for
military purposes, and an ending alb
solutely Of burning up money in wars
in those countries, so that they NAV
become prosperous and reach stage
where they can pay the interest on
this great debt, and gradually reduce
the principal.
Urges Passage of Naval Bill
Members of the Cabinet, it is de-
clared, will drive home this little
thought with the speeches they are to
make in favor of the league of nations,
so that not only will those persons be
reached to whom the sentimental an
peal will be most effective, but also
those who in making out their income
tax returns are beginning to realize
what wars cost and what godsend it
would be to taxpayers of this country
if the $S,000,000,00O owing the United
States could be assured of collection.

PRAISE FOR MUSIC

In the December number of the

This is the Month. Anthem for
Christmas by Hugh Mackinnon.
New York: The H. w. Gray Co. ;

This new Christmas anthem has

"This is the month and this the
happy morn,
Whereon the Son of Heavens Eter-
nal King,
Of welded maid and virgin mother
born,
Our great redemption from above did
bring"
With the advantages of having nc
less a poet than Milton as collabor-
ator, go also responsibilities no less
great, and to say that the composer
has provided a musical dress betting
the poem is high praise indeed. This
Mr.. Mackinnon has done. The poem
is of considerable length, the musica,
version occupying eighteen octave
r pages, but the music is varied and the
interest never flags. It is for chorus
throughout, there being no solo
passages. At one point, however, the
music calls for solo quartet, unaccor
panied, followed after one verse BY
the chorus again. This is the verse

RED GUARD AGAIN
DRIVE ALLIES BACK

Archangel, Feb. 5-(by the Asso-
ciated Press)-Another violent at
tack by the Bolsheviki on the Ameri-
can, Russian and British positions at
Taresevo, compelled the hard pressed
and outnumbered little Allied column
in this sector to withdraw yesterday
approximately forty miles. It's new
position is at the village of Srdmak-
renga.
The attack followed a bombardment
in which gas, incendiary, shrapnel and
high explosive shells were used. It
was the first time that gas shells had
been employed in Northern Russian
warfare. The shells were of the Ger
man type. It has been learned that
early in January, in connection with
the general plan to make the Bolshe-
vik army q formidable force by early
spring, gas schools were opened at
Moscow.
The Bolsheviki, whose active fore
es in the field from the River Dvina
to the Vologda railroad are now es-
timated to number $4,000, brought
up still more artillery yesterday and
are heavily shelling the new Aneri-
can position on the Vaga river.
