Beethoven's ''Hymn to Nature

for Music Lovers.

Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Handel

program of Mime. Louise Homer, APP
pearing in concert yesterday evening
at the National Theater in the series
Of recitals under management Of Mrs.
Wilson Greene.
The nine Incompatible symphonies
of Beethoven have served In great
measure to obscure the fact that he
was master of other forms in music
than the symphonic, and have tended
to relegate his songs into the cate
CORY of the incidental. So. perhaps.
II may have come as surprise to
many to note the beauty and perfec-
ton of the Hymn to Nature" with
which Nine. Homer inaugurated her
This she followed with an aria
from "St. Paul." But the Lord is
Mindful of His Own" concluding the
trilogy of the masters with "Vo Tar
Guerra" from Handel's ''Rinaldo."
The second group Of songs marked
quite a departure from the high
classical standard set by the first,
usual concert level by inclusion OF
Victor Masse and Ponchielli. Masse
was represented by Parmi les

charm of the unexpected, while the

BY HARRY L. ROGERS,
International News Service.

The clash between China and Japan
on the question of the Shantung rail.
way was postponed today by the call
ing Of the fourth plenary session of
the conference.
The Chinese delegation. anticipating
continued opposition from the Japa-
nese, was prepared to bolt the cola

suggestion of Secretary Hughes and
Mr.. Balfour, were undertaken as q
means Of settling the Shantung prob.

DIR. wellington Koo, one OF the
senior Chinese delegates. today laid
emphasis upon the fact that the
collateral conversations" were under.
taken In response to the good
offices" Of Mr.. Hughes and Mr.. Bal
four, and that regardless of the sue
cess or failure" of the conversations
the final report must be made to the
full conference.
The Chinese had planned to push
through the question of declaring the
port of Tsingtau open to foreign
trade In the last session, permitting
the immediate consideration OF the
all.important question Of the Shan
tung railway, but japanese opposition
proved too much for the Chinese. and
the day was spent In continued dis
cussion Of public properties in Shan

sion of the question OF opening the

ring.
What is the drug ring? Who belongs
to 1t. by whom Is 1t controlled. and
where does the money come from that
finances the whole hideous outrageous
business?
That Is a question that 1t takes a
great deal Of practical determined in
vestigation to answer. But anyone
who has ever looked into the matter
at all knows that the ring is u
powerful. relentless, determined state
wide, nationwide. worldwide combi-
nation of INSCRIPTIONS people who
are not ashamed to make money out
Of the misery and despair of their

You can't do anything with the
drug ring by any merely local or
merely national action.
There Ia just one cure for this
hideous cancer that threatens the
very life Of the nation ITSELF" says
Health Commissioner Simmons, of
New York. "Cut off the evil at the
source. Stop the cultivation of the
opium plants and the cocaine plants
except in just enough quantity to
supply legitimate demands"

rid of poison by merely scotchtng

York authority on the drug evil.
julius Kahn Of California has made
q study of the drug evil and when
he introduced q resolution into Con-
gress the other day asking that
Congress draw the attention OF the
disarmament conference to the de-
plorable conditions brought on by
the drug traffic all over the world,
he did a great and a patriotic thing.
Mr.. Porter of Pennsylvania, is
chairman of the House Foreign AZ
fairs Committee, and when he an
nounces that his committee will take
up at the earliest possible moment
the business suggested by Mr.. Kahn,
he shows himself to be awake to an
almost unbelievable situation.
It took China over q hundred years
to learn her lesson Of shame and
degradation.
It Is possible that we are really
beginning to learn ours-at last.

ARMS GUT NOT
To REFLECT TAX
SAVING At ONCE
Federal Reserve Board Says
Cost of Past Wars Will Run
Far Into Future.
BY w. Fl. ATKINS.
international News Service.

A decision by the arms pariey to
cut armament costs Will not imme-
diately affect taxation. because for
years the people will shoulder the
burden Of past war expenditures. the
Federal Reserve Board announced to-
day.
The board. holding the key to the
financial pulse, dispelled a lot OF
Illusions that disarmament can at
once effect a radical reduction In the
tax obligations of the average citi-
zen.
The board argued that this past
war charge must be carried as an
item in the public debt across many
years to allow future generations Ito
help pay the cost Of wars past and
future.
"In some countries. including the
United States, the outlay for war.
while a large part Of the total out
lay, is In large measure an expense
which serves to carry the cost OF fu-
ture wars, in the form Of interest
on the public debt:
while naval and military expendi-
ture is large in such countries, II
is relatively a small part Of the en-.
tire budget.
Compared with 1913. the last pre-.
war year, the amounts Of money
expended for national defense by the
governments of Italy, France and
Germany show enormous expansion.
But II should be remembered that
the purchasing power of the curren-
cies of these countries has under
gone varying degrees Of seprecia-
ton"
