AUDIENCE CHARMED
|. BY FR|EDA HEMPEL

Pure vocal art Is a rare achievement
today. The singer whose art may be
gauged for its technique. in the same
way that one estimates the execution
OF a pianist. may today be counted
on one hand and then not use the
thumb.
Such an artist is Nine. Frieda Hem
pei, who opened the Ten-Star Con-
certs of T. Arthur Smith at the Ma
tional Theater yesterday afternoon
with a capacity house calling for seats
even on the stage. She had as her
assisting artists Coenraad V. Bos,
pianist, and A. Rodeman, fiutist.
The singer, too, was quite the most
attractive concert figure to come to US,
with her peacock velvet gown and the
"song-bird" emphasized by the flowing
ostrich feather sash of the same
lovely hue that waved like a gently
blown willow.
In flute-like tones, and tone-pure
runs in staccato, in smooth, even flow
of clear sound, in thrills held aston
ishingly long and evenly, Miss Hem
pePs songs abounded. Such was the
Mozart-Adam aria di bravure, with
flute accompaniment. The pure in
tonation in passages alone with flute
was lovely, Wnlte IN the Blue Danube
Waltz" with all its efflorescence OF
roulades and Joyous metre was shown
a distinctive art of singing. The art
ii is true, one is conscious of. Therein
Is the one theatric point of the colora>
tura as rule.
The French group of songs held two
characteristic songs of tiny, capricious
music figures. They were "Guitares
at Mandolfnes" of Saint-Saens, and
"Fates Galantes" of Hahn. in both of
which the accomplishments of Mr.. Bos
were given with that great f1neness
of delineation for which he is justly
famous. Bemberg's La Fee aux
Chanson" was a beautiful song rich
in admirable vocalization. The
Troyer Sun Cod song was too big
for the voice. 1t lends itself rather,
and with compelling charm, to light
ness and graceful ornament
Miss Hempel gave as encores
"Daddy's Sweetheart" Dixie" THE
Last Rose. of Summer" and Home.
Sweet Home" She left the art realm
for appeal to the heart.
Mr.. Bos also was soloist, giving with
particular effect the Beethoven ITO
Elise" one Of the singing compositions
Of the master. Mr.. Rodeman also gave
a group of solos.

PLEDGE ITSELF TO
enter GREAT WAR
Ench Win BE Effect Of Americas Con.
seat TO League OF Nations, De-
ciares Senator Mccormick, Re-
publican. of Illinois.

Washington. Aug. 20.--America by
'eonsenting to the guarantee of terri
tories under the League Of Nations,
viii pledge itself against conscience
and judgment to participate in the
great war which the treaty of peace
promises, Senator Mccormick, Re
publican, Of Illinois, declared in an adj
dress today in the senate.
Reviewing @the normal abasement
which characterized the conduct of the
great Christian powers in Asia be
fore and during the great war; the
Illinois senator said President Wilson
had put his name to an agreement
which betrayed an ally and friend
and kept from the Chinese "that
which was his and Of which he had
beea robbed with an equal hypocrisy
and violence"
THE government of the United
States" Senator Mccormick said
"wishes to assent to the wrong done
China in Shantung upon the verbal
assurance of Baron Maxine 1.-THE Jap
anese foreign minister) that presently
the wrong will be undone. Ostrich
like, our government has declined to
recognize that the promises of the
great Asiatic military power fronting
our Pacific coast are to be measured
by her performances in the past. BY
that measurement. the nrnn.ises; are
worthless. For thirty-five years the
Japanese foreign policy in Asia has
been one of consistent perfdy and ag-
gression. If anyone doubts this, lei
him review his own memory OF
Japan's relations with China anc
Korea, her secret and now discovered
violation of the pledges exchanged
with the government of the United
States.

MEXICANS DEMAND
RECALL OF TROOPS
No Reply Has Been Made by Wash
ington, but 1t Is Expected Pursuit
of Bandits Will End Quickly
Four Are Killed.

Washington, Aug. 21.-Immediate
withdrawal of the American troops
now on the trail of bandits in north
ern Mexico was asked today by Mex
lean Ambassador Bonillas, who called
at the State Department to present a
formal protest from she Carranza
government The text of the protest
was not made public and officials
would not discuss it further than to
say that no reply had been made.
At the War Department it was said
that no additional report on the opera
tons of the American forces had been
received from Major General Dick
man, commanding the Southern De-
partment. The troops now are well
into Mexico and army officers hope
that before returning they will clean
out bandits from the stretch Of terri
tory 20 miles south of the border,
where they are operating.
Whether a reply to the Mexican
protest will be sent has not been an
nounced. Such protests have been
made heretofore without drawing a
response, officials regarding them as
having been submitted largely for the
record.
The American forces went into
Mexico on hot trail seeking the ban
dts who held the American army avi-
ators, Lieutenants Davis and Peter
son, for ransom and it was indicated
today that the Mexican protest would
not hasten their withdrawal.
San Antonio, Tex, Aug. 21.-While
official information in the matter is
not available at Southern Department
headquarters here, army officers ex-
pect early withdrawal of the Eighth
Cavalry troops pursuing Mexican ban
dts in the mountainous district Of
Northern chihuahua.
Removal today of the airplane base
from Preside north tc Maria is tax
,en as indicition that pursuit has
shifted westward instead of continu-
ing up the Rio Conchos. Maria as a
base would be nearer to troops NOV
ing westward, while Preside would
be the nearest base if the troops con
tinued pushing south.
Ordinarily it would be practically
impossible to search the desert west
of the Rio Conchos Valley, army Off
GERS say, but recent reavy rains are
believed to have filled many water
holes and to have provided some for
age for cavalry horses.
Communication with the troops is
limited almost entirely to the mes
sages brought back by the airplane
scouts. The field wireless taken by
the cavalry men when they crossed
has not worked satisfactorily and to-
day was the second day since the
troops went over the Rio Grande that
Southern Department headquarters
had no direct word from the pursuing
troops.

INSIDE HISTORY
SHANTUNC DEAL
Former State Department Expert
Tells of Two Alternatives, Both
Bad, Put Up to Peace Com
mission by japan.

Washington, Aug. pa first hand
story of the negotiations which result
ed in the treaty provision giving ia
pan control in Shantung provinces,
China, was told to the senate foreign
relations committee today by Profess
son f. 7. Williams, formerly the state
departments expert on Far Eastern
affairs, who acted as technical adj
wiser to the American peace delegates.
Professor Williams said he had Job
jected very strongly" to the Shantung
settlement, but that his resignation
from the peace commission was not
due to his opposition.
On April %, the witness said, Pres
ident Wilson sent for him and asked
him which of the proposed alterna-
tives would be less injurious to China
the transfer Of the German Shan
tung rights to Japan or insistenee on
the execution of Japan's treaty with
China growing out of the famous Fl
demands Of 1915.
Il replied" continued Professor Will
liams, that hoped neither course
would be found necessary. The pres
ident said that unfortunately Great
Britain and France were bound by GER
tain engagements with japan to sup
port Japan's claims in Shantung and
that Lloyd George said he would bow
only on the consideration that the 1915
treaty was executed
"The president added that the war
seemed to have been fought to estab-
lish the sanctity of treaties and while
some Of them were uneonscienable, il
looked as tho it would be necessary TO
recognize them"
The witness said he suggested that
since the 1915 treaty was exacted by
force it ought not to be binding, but
that the president replied Japan might
not be willing to recognize that they
were made by force. Professor Will
Fans then suggested that the treaty
have blanket provision that all Ger
man property in China should be turn
ed over to China and that any rights
taken from Germany by Japan should
be returned to China within one year.
Later the expert advisers of the
British, French and American dele
gates joined in a memorandum saying
that transfer of the German Shantung
rights to Japan would be the more de-
sirable of the two courses suggested.
Professor Williams and McClay, a
British expert, joined in a memoran-
dun saying China ought not be COM
PEELED to accept either alternative.
