bought the Cuban crop as we'll as the
Louisiana crop and that even now
there was a chance to help by limit

themselves in tubercular tissues.
Trypan red dyes give the best results.

THE UNIVERSITY CLUB
Hears Professor Dodd Discuss
Defeat OF Treaty Of Versailles
QUESTION BOX FOLLOWS


The fortnightly meeting OF. the Uni
yersity Club. which was postponed
from Thursday night. was held Satur-
day evening in Mcdowell Hall ST.
Johns College.
Professor w. E. Dodd, professor OF
History in the University Of Chicago.
was the speaker. and took for his topic
THE Breaking of a Great Leader,
under, which he discussed the defeat
OF the Treaty Of Versailles in the T.
5. Senate
According to Professor Dodd's anal
ysis. the United States consists of two
distinctly different elements, the in
dustriaI and technical north and east,
with its complicated and dangerous
welter of machinery and humanity;
and the agricultural and provincial
south and west, with its simpler civili-
zation and more restricted ideas
Woodrow Wilson is the spokesman OF
the second of these two elements, ac-
cording to Professor Dodd. and by
great craftsmanship he succeeded in
securing, from the beginning to the
end of the war, the support of the
other element, which in ideas and con-
victions is hostile TO hiIn.
Before he went To Paris, however,
he had lost the support of the indus
trial and technical part OF this eoun-
try. and he had to fight his battle
alone He accomplished much in spite
Of his handicap. but his work has
been brought to naught by the parti-
zanship and personal hostility OF pas

Dodd's opinion. viii nave to take tine
responsibility for a step which may
prove more serious 10 the United
States than any legislative enactment
OF its history
AT the conclusion Of his address.
Professor Dodd answered questions in
an interesting and forcefui way, show
ing in doing 30 a Considerable skill in
repartee. He explained, among other
things. that he. did not use the word
"provinciaI' in an inyidiOus sense. but
that he meant by it TO indicate simple
and -ansophisticated methods OF
thought. and sentiment. rather than
rational convictions. He also ex-
planned that there was paradox in
his argument that the country can
only be saved by the provincial ele-
ment inasmuch as a world order is

Large Audience At Naval Acad-

Chorus
PARTS WELL TAKEN
BY MUSICAL ARTISTS

Singing with that good form that
characterizes the well trained chorus,
participants in the concert given on
Saturday evening in the Naval Acad-
emy Auditorium for the benefit of the
Navy Relief Society's work. scored a
great success.
The chorus was assisted by an or

rendition of the overture. "Semira-

dies with skill and technique. that
mark her the artist she is, Her high
notes were well taken, her voice true
and she sang with expression.
The chorus. throughout the cantata
was tuneful, rhythmical and in good
time, The male and female voices
were evenly balanced. ana the good
training was especially shown in the
point of attack and release. TO the
conductor, Joseph w. Crosley, or
ganist and choirmaster OF the Naval
Academy Chapel, much credit is due
for the high degree of successful
training manifest in the chorus.
In the third number on the pro-
gram. "Olivet To Calvary" the
chorus rose to supreme heights. and
.'The March to Calvary" was a most
effective musical gem in this really
beautiful setting. AS tenor soloist
Ensign z. r. Evans had rare oppor
tunity for the play of his sweetly
musical voice. and he sang with mark
ed effect, Before Jerusalem" I'm the
Temple" THE Mount Of Olives" and
Betrayed and Forsaken,' giving TO
each the artistic touch of his rarely
sweet rhythmical voice.
Midshipman Samuel w. Dubois and
Midshipman Harry l.. Towe, took
baritone parts. and sang well, and the
bass solos were given with effect by
Midshipman Charles r. Kloman.
The soprano solo, Another Temple
Waits Thee. Lord Divine" was sung
by Mrs. Wolcott f. Hall in splendid
voice. Mrs. Halls tones were pure
and clear. her notes full and we'll
rounded and she sang with pleasing
effect
The last soprano solo, "Doop Sac
red Head" was a little musical gem,
which was sympathetically sung by
that truly artistic vocalist, Miss Con-
stance Brady, who sang with deep
feeling and rare sweetness of voice.
The entire concert was grand sue
cess, and afforded an evening of de-
lightful entertainment to music-lov-
