laying a working basis for the

function as efficiently as possible,
pending the time necessary to get
clear Interpretation of various
matters and note the practical eff
fects Of the intricate system by
which the assembly and council
dovetail.
Members In Doubt
The most enthusiastic support
ers of the league now admit there
are problems in the covenant
which seem, for the moment at
least, beyond solution, since it is
impossible to tell how present arr
rangements will work out. The
general policy seems TO be to LET
time work out a solution Of some
problems.
Work in the typhus cs,nlnaign
in Poland and plans looking "a
the welfare of children in Europe
were also discussed today.
The assembly also approved the
decision of the committee on re-
lations between the assembly and
the council for the elimination of
the entire paragraph of its re-
port which provided that the as
sembly had no power to take UP
questions within the exclusive jur-
isdiction of the council.
Status Not Changed
Delegate Rowell Of Canada, who
made the report, pointed out that
the elimination did not change
the present situation. The report
being merely interpretative, could
not change the relations between
the council and the assembly, hi
remarked but was merely explain
atory of the covenant.

Large Audience
Hears Symphony
Orchestra Play

DR.. John r. Sites and his players
were given most enthusiastic re-
|ception last evening at the armory
in the first appearance. this season
of the Salem Symphony orchestra.
lMore than twelve hundred music
loving people of Salem and vicin-
Ility attended, and this notwith-
standing most disagreeable wealth
er.
From the opening motif of the
first number, the overture to the
opera, 1.-THE Marriage of Figaro"
by Mozart. it become evident that
DR.. Sites had his 43 players well in
hand and gave the assurance that
the large audience was in for an
evening of genuine musical pleas
ure.
AS the program progressed with
the playing of Hayden's symphony,
1t was evident that in DIR. Sites, the
/ city had music director well
qualified to handle a symphony
orchestra, bringing his amateur
players almost to the excellence OF
professionals.
DR.. Sites is most positive direc-
tor holding his players well in
, hand, all responding closely to the
conductor, but to the musical abil-
eral applause and appreciation
sshown by the large audience was
a direct compliment not only to the
conductor, but othe musical abil-
.ity and appreciation of standard
music by the players. 1t was also
evident that the music loving peo-
| pie in attendance from Salem as
well as many who came from sur
rounding towns, were more than
pleased with the work of the
Salem symphony orchestra and
its director.
In arranging the program DR..
Sites selected his program ircn
the composers beginning with the
time of Mozart, down to the pres
ent day, a happy selection giving
program of standard music that
held the closest attention or the
audience.
l. Perhaps the number that was
appreciated the most was the
.sTriumphal Entry of the Bojaren.'
The wierd Norwegian music and
the military swing of the compost
ticn called forth an enthusiastic
applause.
In a short talk, DR.. Sites ex-
nlained the uses of various instru-
ments of a symphony orchestra
and also said that additional con-
certs would be given this winter.
The very general opinion ex-
pressed was that a symphony or
cbestra for Salem under the direc'
ttion of DIR. Sites is an established
fact The large audience was mos
attentive and liberal in its ap
plause and appreciation
The officers CT the Salem sym
phonv orchestra are as follows
