undertaken in this LOCALITY and the
utter folly and ticeotthecost-plus'
system of contracting for the con

for the speech that was to follow by
giving resume of the history at
tending Russia's entrance into the
war, her subsequent collapse and the
growth of Bolshevism which had to

about some misunderstanding in

pupil of Max Landow, of the Pea
body Conservatory at Baltimore
The program proved most inter
estig and both variety and author
ity were asserted in the organist' S
work. The fact that the night was
rainy only added to the enjoyment
and proved no deterrent to the crowd
men and women prominent in every
walk of life were present the audi
ence being from every point of view
a representative one.
He played the Fantasie Overture
by Fricker very beautifully indeed.
This was followed by the prelude
from Eng. Suite III. by ]. S. Bache
Then softly and sweetly the tone OF
the organ gave forth the strains of
Largo" from G. F. Handel, so char.
acteristic of the great master of mu-
