POU ATTACKS REPUBLICANS
 FOR TACTICS

Washington, Aug. 11.-Representa- tive Edward c. Pou of North Caro- lima, former chairman of the House Committee on Rules, pu;ied the masks from the Republicans in Congress when he attacked them for seeking political advantage by naming a spe- cial committee to investigate the Shipping Board.
 It is plainly apparent to observers here that the Republican leaders are grabbing at every straw to keep their noses above water for the 1920 cam paign. MT. Pou told them of their schemes to make political capital He pointed out that they voted for war measures they now condemned, and helped to spend the money they now claim was wasted.
 ''The majority party of this House" :" said MT. Pou, "has decided to inveS- tigate the activities of the United States Shipping Board and the Elmer gency Fleet Corporation. You will pro- bably find certain expenditures Of money which at this time may not appear to have been necessary, but while that money was being spent we were in a grat war, and one reason the war was brought to an end at so early a day was due to the great ex- penditure of money the people Of the country were willing to make in order to win. The State Department knows that there appeared to be no end to ly reporting these huge expenditures to their government. They reported that there apparde to be no end to the the amount of money this nation was

SURVEY OF FOREIGN OPINION.

Neue Frcie Presse .CChicf Vienna DailyD, writes on tho conflict be- tween Italy and France, concerning tho future of the States of the former Austria. Italy opposes any union. however loose. between the national States She knows that sooner or later she will come into conflict with JuRo-Slavfh through her desire to be sole master on the AdriatiC, and is looking out even today for possible allies She can only finII allies. how ever, if the different States remain separated. the HunEarians and the Rumanians would be specially useful for nn encipcing policy. Italy seems already to be successful in Rumania, as this country has ranged herself on the side of those who oppose an cCo- nor,tc union of the national States. Italy is also busy in Budapest with the Soviet Government, although the Entente supports military action against the Soviet. She favors Ger Jnan-Austria's incorporation in Ger many. seeing probably in Greater Germany q future ally. and wishing her boundary to touch directly on Germany. For that reason she in sists on the Brenner line. Tyrol would then. sooner or later. unite with Ger many.

FEAR AUSTRIANS AND HUNGARIhNS RAY j0lN FORCES Demonstrations Against Coupe Achieved By
 Archdul1e. CZECHO- -SLOVAKS
 WANT PROTECTION Hope U. s. Will Prevent New Regime From
 Succeeding.

Prague. Monday, Aug, 11-(Ey A. P.)-1lnrro but orderly demonstra- tons occurred here today, being led generally by the social democratic element, in protest against the coupe d'ctat by which Archduke Joseph be- came the head of the Hungarian gov ernment.
 At tho beginning of tho Eumanian invasion of Hungary the moro con- servatiVc elements of Czccho Slovakia werp insistpnt that q Czccho army advance Immediately into Hungary to protect Czecho-SIovai,ian interests there. Professor T, c. Masaryk. president or czech o-Slovakia and members of his ministry opposed such q movement, declaring that they desired to act entirely in co-ordinn ton with tho great powers and did not wish to erubarrass them, further In tho situation which had ayiscrl because of tho Rumnninn invaGion. which was in violation of tho armis- tice.
 Fears rre expressed that the rcac- riouary element in Vienna will soon join forces with those back of the as- cendancy of Arch1uko Joseph and will amalEamato tho Austrian and lFungarian states into an intense
 
 como fho ccntcr Of autocTattC prop uganda in central Europe. As Arch duke Joseph is n HaTs5urG, Czecho Slovukiun officials hope tho Unitci states will use It's influence in pre- venting tho new regime from sue Cpcdins. They base their hope on the fact that government by any Haps- burg wuS one of the forms of govern mcnt denounced by President Wilson before he would agree to the Conclu- sion of m nrfnistico. No Czccho Slo- Vakiau officials believe Archdukc JO- seph any moro represents the true sentiment of the Hungarian common people any moro than did Bella Kun. They say both governments were basca on terrorism and in opposition 10 the aspirations of the common people throughout Central Europe"
 Up to this time the CZecho-Slovak- ian ministry has been reticent in giv- ing e1oression to it's views respecting developments in Hungary, but to- days demonstrations make 1t neces- sary for the government to make some declaration and the sentiments of large majority of officials are epi- touized above.
 Czecho-Slovaks are chcered by tho Eote from the peace conference to the Rumaniaus on August ', inquir- in- whether the Rumanians had de cided to disassociate themselves from the Allies" This note was published here today. A strong feeling exists hcre that the closer relationship be- tween the HOhenzollerus and the Ha apsburg Is some way connected with tho present Hohenzollern occu- pant of the Rumauian throne.

CATHOLICS TO OBSERVE HOLY
 DAY AUG. 15

Friday, Aug 15, will be observed in Catholic churches as the Feast of the Assumption, holy day of obliga- tion and special services will be held. accordingly. Masses will be cele- brated in all of the churches at an early hour Friday morning to enable working people to attend mass. Con- fessions will be heard Thursday af- ternoon and evening for the feast.
 Of special interest in connection with this weeks feast observace is the fact that Catholics will not observe Friday as a day of abstinence. The church ritual at present dispenses with the observance of the regula- tions on feast days and puts 1t for ward one day, so that Thursday of this week will be the day of abstin- ence and fasting for Catholics instead of Friday.

The midsummer pause, in things
musical, is beginning to give place
to vital plans for the coming season.
Washington, in her home outlook, is
emphasizing the continued growth
of music within, while the unusual
past season Of musical events will
doubtless be paralleIed or increased.
Washington's war growth" in
population, brought about new things
in her civic music. This increase in
population is continuing, and with it
assurance of success in these en-
deavors that have brought recogni-
ton of the needy the community
of Oratorio of opera. of the entire
art-form of the pageant, in all of
which "the people" have expressed
their own art spirit.
The Washington College OF Music
has announced the personnel of it's
staff for the coming season, with c..
E. Christiani, president, Edgar T.
Paul, vice president, and w. w.
Delano, secretary-treasurer
Emmanuel Wad, the celebrated
pedagOgue, will head the piano de-
partment, with Weldon Carter and
Florence Hart among the associate
teachers.
Edgar T. Paul and George Harold
Miller lead the list of voice instruc-
tors. Al. c. Van Hulsteyn and c. Z.
Christiani are representatives Of the
high standard of the violin depart
ment.
Willum Van Der Wall, harpist, has
been engaged for the teacher of harp,
thus insuring Mr.. Van Der Wallis

The transition of the War Camp
Community Service into Community Serv-
ice, Inc, is a logical and beneficial
outcome Of the wholesome and inspir-
ting war service this organization
rendered the entire nation throughout
the period of the war. This change
has been announced to take place in
the early fall.
The new organization will cover the
whole field of music, and the former
department Of community singing that
was primarily created for the men in
uniform has become in the national
organization the community music de-
partment.
Due to the nonsectarian character,
one might say, of the Community
Service, Inc, the widest latitude in
service to a city is obtainable. 1t
should function as the most logical
fusing or all music elements in a
community, whereby each may serve
its individual purpose, but yet stand
ready to lend its cooperation in any
united endeavor that will stamp sue
