A plea for better instruments in
! the, schools is made by Musical
News" London, and seconded by
the Chicago Musical Leader. "The
wastefulness Of buying in cheap
market is shown by the fact that
these. pianos last but a few months,
whereas a good piano would remain
in shape for a considerable number
of years. "A cheap instrument is the
sarest way OF killing a desire for
music. One of the chief reasons why
children sing in a cracked tone so
frequently heard comes from their
subconscious imitation OF the pianos
which they are accustomed to hear"
This plea could be enlarged to
take in a great many people, who
have the financial wherewithal to
give their children a good instru-
mcnt, but wiic are content with poor
pianos in their homes. There are
other people in the world who own
good pianos. but that is all When
omen touches them one is disil-
lusioned, for they do not keep them
tuned. How can one expect chill
dren to develop taste for the best
in Music when there Is no opportu-
nifty to make musical sounds! Cheap
instruments cf any sort are not an
economy. Rather they are an in

The council is leaving to President
Wilson the arbitration of the differ
ences over the boundaries Of Armenia.
The council awarded a mandate for
Mesopotamia and Palestine to Great

France.
In placing Palestine under BRIT
ish mandate the council established
within the ancient limits of Holy
Land what is called the National
home OF the jews"
The terms OF the mandate protect
the national rights of Jewish cits-
zens of other countries. That is to
say, Jew or American, British,
French or other nationality may re-
tain his nationality, although he IL
also citizen of the state of Pales-

protected, there being 100000 In Pal

is limited generally by what is known
as the Balfour declaration British
forces have been in occupation of Pal

Economically.

San Remo.-The plans for the con-

The control will be exercised by two
International commissions, one of
these, an administration body, will
regulate the traffic, fix the dues or
the use of the straits and supervise
affairs generally much the same as
the Suez Canal commission does for
the Suez waterway
The other body will be a military
commission having at it's disposition
forces which will be located in other
parts of Gallipoli Peninsula and In
parts on the other side of the straits.
Alexander Millerand. the French
premier, received the American news
paper correspondents, of whom eleven
are here, and talked freely about the
peace conference affairs.
Our friendship with the American
people" he said, did not begin with
1914, but very long before that, and
before you brought US the decisive
help in the war, which now is such
precious recollection.
II regret we could not have the di-
rect active cooperation of the United
States government in the preparation
Of the Turkish treaty here, but am
sure America will not stand apart al
ways from European affairs. l re-
gret much more that the United
States does not participate in the dis
cussion Of Germany's treatment Of the
treaty Of Versailles, which will be
considered tomorrow.
Il am confident that the Americans,
whatever their points Of view respect
ing the Germans are, have also sym.
pathy for the victims Of Germany. The
policy of France, which l have de-
clared 20 times, is simple and entire
ly open. We suffered, and Germany
pledged herself by the treaty to do
certain things. She has not done
them.
France asks her rights and no
more. France does not hate Germany.
We wish to see her recover economic
ally. A creditor does not wish to see
his debtor ruined"

AS PEACE OMEN
Worshlpers in Cathedral Looked
on Doves Visit.
At Least an interesting Coincidence
That Birds Appearance Was Just
Before the Series Of Battles
That Smashed Huns.

How traditions and legends grow up
around cathedrals is told In a story by
DIR. Edward Hagaman Hall, author of
the first guide book of the Cathedral Of
st. John the Divine, which made its
appearance on Sunday last, said the
New York Evening Sun recently. The
book Is published by the Laymen's club
OF the cathedral. The story is about
the chapel of st. Boniface in the ca
thedral, sometimes called the German
chapel, and runs as follows:
I'm the spring Of 1918. some weeks
after the great German drive of March
II had begun and before the begin
ming OF the counter-offensive Of the
second battle of the Marne in July, the
large stained-gIass window in the clere-
story Of the choir above the entrance
to the chapel Of st. Boniface arrived
from England. All the ventilation
openings in the cathedral windows are
screened to exclude birds, which. how.
ever interesting In their natural hab-
ftats, are practical nuisance In the
cathedral.
"When the stained-glass window
was ready to be put into place the
temporary window filing the space
above the entrance to the chapel was
removed for its installation. While the
window was thus open, and at period
In the war when the issue trembled
in the balance and the world fairly
held its breath In fearful expectation
of the event, white dove-very gen.
orally recognized as a symbol or har.
binger of peace-flew into the cathe-
dral over this chapel.
"On the following Sunday It scared
around In the great dome of the cross
ing and An the choir. alighting In the
most interesting places. When Dean
Roberts assembled the stairs Of the
great marble pulpit he found the dove
perched on the edge of the pulpit d.
rectly before him. The dove then few
around and alighted on the bnck of q
vacant chair between two occupied
chairs In the midst of the cnngreaa-
tfon on the south side Of the cross
ing. and there remained quietly during
the sermon.
"When the ushers started toward the
altar with the offertory the bird scared
across the congregation and alighted
on the hat of woman dressed in
mourning, who was sitting near the
middle aisle, its snow-white plumage
contrasting strikingly with the somber
attire of the bereaved woman, who
seemed not to be disturbed by what
perhaps she regarded as happy omen.
In moment the dove flew to another
part of the crossing. 1t remained in
the cathedral a few days longer; and
then one day went out through an open
door.
"Soon after this occurrence the allies
facing the Marne salient, including the
Americans at Chateau Thierry, began
the great counter movement, which
fnally brought peace. 1t was at least
an interesting coincidence that this
white dove came into the cathedral
over the chapel at the very crisis of
the war. and that almost Immediately
thereafter began that series Of deter
mined events which led the Germans
to make overtures for peace"
