ROb'S Ring

BY BARBARA KERR

NCepyrght. Mcclure Newspaper Syndicate.)
Somehow the morning work dragged.
firSlnia's mind was not on her bust
ness. She swept internationally and
busted listlessly. She was wondering
vaguely whether she had done the
right thing to send Rob away unfet-
tered, as she had tried to explain to
him, for his own good. She had not
explained that she was going to be n
motor messenger and drive in the mo-
Tor corps, and That in the back of her
dun-loving brain she was almost plan,
ming to have some really interesting
little flirtations.
She was too higll-minded to descend
No the practice Of some of the girls VINO
were not wearing their engagement
rings 30 that the visiting soldiers
would not know that they had fiances
mt the front. And her contempt for
fhe young matrons who had entered
;canteen service, had taken off their
wedding rings and were posing as I'M
married and carrying on their clan
kiestine fiirtatiOns with the officers was
Iunbounded.
She was very decided about any
thing Of that sort. 1t was not mat

and Frank NJ. Sutphen, a we'll known
tromborist Of Columbus, was secured
as director OF the 100 musicians, who
are contributing their time and talent
to making a success of the Centenary
Trombone Choir.
A greater problem lay In what to
play, for no music had ever been
written for a trombone choir OF 100
players. It had to be specially pre-
pared. Nationally known composers
are now at work arranging such sa-
cred and semi-sacred selections as
the Soldiers Chorus from Faust.
Holy City" "Hallelujah Chorus" and
Onward Christian Soldiers" for the
huge choir.
The Centenary Choir Is composed
Of II soprano trombones. 10 altos, 40
tenors, Is baritones and II bass from
bones. These 100 instruments are
arranged to form six separate choirs,
each musical unit in itself. At the
extreme right Of each bank, or choir,
come two soprano trombones no
larger than comets. These instru-
ments are made to order. Next come
three altos. then two first tenors. and
Greenbrier independent. [volume] (Lewisburg, Va. [W. Va.]) 1859-1980, 1919-03-14

two second tenors. In the center Of
each row are the third and fourth
tenors. Next come the first, second
and third baritones. each with a part
OF Its own, then the big B fiat bass
trombone, and, on the end of each
choir, the F bass, a majestic affair.
which also had to be made to order
for the Centenary Choir.
Most people have the mistaken
idea that the trombone is a blaring.
blasting instrument, used solely For
the purpose Of making noise,' says
MIR. Sutphen, the director "On the
contrary, it Is one Of the truest OF
musical instruments. Having neither
valves nor frets, it can be tuned per-
fectly as it is played, and its tones
can be softened to the mellow notes
of the violin.
so adaptable is the trombone, 30
wonderful is its power of expression.
that 1t can take the place of flute.
cello, cornet or violin, in an orches-
ira. And the same variety of tones
may be perfected in a correctly bal
anced choir OF trombones as the larg.

Celebration In Columbus, Onio, June
20 to July z. will pour forth the har-
mony OF "Hallelujah Chorus" and
Holy City, in the huge Coliseum
where the musical features Of the
celebration will be held.
One hundred trombones-some so
large and some so small that they
must be made to order-will blend
their music In the largest, and. SO
far as is known. the only choir of its
kind in the world.
Being absolutely new and unique.
the trombone choir has presented any
number Of difficulties to its organ

mittee. In the first place, they must
find 100 trombone players within rea-
sonable distance Of Columbus. They
solved this problem by mobilizing all
the professional players, and complet-
ing the organization with talented
amateurs. Anthony Ruppersburg was
made business manager Of the choir,

DESOLATION
BLAMED ON SOCIALISTS

Continued from page one)
Henderson and Albert Thomas, Bit
.sh and French moderate socialists
md labor leaders, by Professor Paul
Milukoff, one-time Foreign Minister in
the Kerensky government. Professor
Milukoff declared it was due to The
activities Of Mr.. Henderson and Mr.
Thomas that he resigned from the
Russian provisional government.
When Professor Milukoff was asked
what was the chief mistake made by
the Entente Allies and the United
States in dealing with Russia, he as
serted the mistakes were numerous.
"Thc first mistake was when Albert
Thomas and Arthur Henderson went
to Russia in 1917" he said. "They at
once insisted on the establishment of
socialist government and Russian
offensive. That was why resigned
from the Cabinet"
"The Russian at that time was
not in shape to make an offensive.
By remaining passive it would have
been able to repel the enemy attacks,
meanwhile retaining it's full strength.
An offensive in June, 1917, when Mr..
Henderson and Mr.. Thomas demand
ed it, meant the weakening, the de-
moralization and, indeed, the very
disruption of the Russian army.
"That could only serve to aid the
campaign of German made Bolshevist
propaganda.
Cali this was called to their at
tention, but without good result. They
held fast to their theories and backed
Kerensky. They thought a socialist
government in Russia could best
carry out the aims they had; that
the establishment of such a govern
ment would pave the way for a great
offensive and insisted that such an Of
fensive would strengthen the gov
eminent.
"They failed to realize that mod
crate socialists always yield sooner
or later to extreme socialists.
"This, too, explains the Bolshevist
undercurrents."
Professor Mulkoff declared the
third mistake of the Allies was in
their failure to hold the Czechoslo-
vaks effectually.
"There was nothing but half-heart-
ed measures and undecided aims" he
declared.
