The First Company is receiving
congratulations today on their happy
selection of the DeMille Quartet as
the third number of their winter ly-
ceum course. While the audience
was prepared for a musical treat, they
were more than pleased with the en-
tertainment provided by this excel
lent quartet and pianist accompan-
list. The personnel of the concert
consisted of Charles Duhig, first ten
or, whose extreme smoothness Of
tone and high range thrilled his au-
dience, both in his solo and quartet
work. Ernest Hazeldine, second ten
or was laboring under the disadvan-
tage of severe cold and was unable
to give a colo, but his sympathetic
tenor voice blended beautifully with
the others, making the audience re-
alize the possibilities within his reach
Hartwell DeMille, manager and bari
tone, made hit with his Irish lilt-
ing melodies, as well as with the mag
nificent qualities displayed in his So
los and concert singing. William
Morlock, the bass, displayed a Won
derful range of depth in his singing,
reaching the lowest notes with a
clearness that was surprising as we'll
as delightful. Instead Of the pianist
and accompanist announced, Wallace
Skinner presented brilliant execution
with technical skill and cultivated
understanding. The best audience
of the course greeted these pleasing
entertainers at the Armory last eve
ming.

FOR EX-GOVERNOR
Florida State Executive Under
Grand Jury Indictment.
PardOned Negroes Held in
PeOnage Is Charge.

Pensacola. Fla, May 2o.-Federal
agents were seeking today former
Governor Sidney j. Cats, of this
state, on warrants which were issued
yesterday after his indictment by a
federal grand jury on charges of
peonage.
The specific charge against the
former governor is that he held in
state of involuntary servitude Edward
Brown and John Henry Rogers and
forced them to work on his plantation
in Walton county for several months.
The negroes, both former convicts,
were pardoned while Cats was gov
ernor and chairman of the state board
of pardons.
1t is alleged that when the negroes
were released from the state prison
they were taken into custody by
agents of the former governor and
transported to his plantation, where
they were put to work.
The warrants issued by the federal
authorities authorized the arrest of
the former governor in any part of
the country and would legally permit
of his extradition to Florida for trial.

Briard Says France
 Needs Large Army
(COntinued From Page 1)

France and Germany but in the whole world.
 In his appeals to the Americans Of German descent, he said:
 Why don't you speak across the seas to those that belong to your for mer country? Why don't you tell them to meet us and to do everything to restore normal conditions? Tell them that, and you will have nothing to fear from France.
 That would be an effort certainly remarkable and would be worthy of doing and certainly if I had been a citizen originally coming from Ger many, and having succeeded in Amer ica, in the country of liberty, I should speak like that. And l am quite sure that if all those men of good will joined in our endeavors, the fear that weighs upon the world at the present time would be finally and determin- edly dispelled.
 "Gentlemen, France, as I said, Is lying in wait for any gesture of good will on the part of Germany.
 We are ready to encourage her and to conciliate her and to help the men n of good will that want to make her noble democracy. We shall do everything on our side and everything in our power in order to discourage and avoid the reasons of war and to insure peaceful relations, not only between us and Germany, but in the whole world.'
