AMUSEM ENTS
Cincinnati Orchestra.

The Cincinnati Orchestra, Eugen Ysaye
conductor. played yesterday afternoon in
the National Theater, and not only the
conductor but the orchestra received
an ovation seldom accorded by a Wash
without music except in dIndy's
entracte "Fervaal."
The most interesting and perhaps the
most beautiful number on the program
was the tone poem Exile" written
by the conductor 'for string orchestra,
without bra asses and in this the or
chestra was really violins and violas,
without cello or bass viol.
1t is descriptive composition Of great
beauty. with exquisite harmonies,
the unruf1ed air Of solitude. and was
played in a mastery manner.
The Caesar Franck symphony in d
minor was played with breadth, good
legato. beautiful tone and perfect unity.
The pianissimo of the allegretto move.
ment was charming in its delicacy, and
the breadth and crescendos of the third
and fourth movements afforded strong
contrasts. At the close NJ. Ysaye was
presented with a large bouquet OF rose'
tied with the Belgian colors, which was
sent by the ambassador Of Belgium.
Baron de Cartier.
The last number was Delbes' charm
ing suite. Sylvia" of which the inter-
mezzo and pizzicato are familiar through
arrangements for piano. In these the
deiicacy, rhythm and shading were
marked and the other two movements.
particularly the last. Cortese de Bac-
chus, was brilliant in color and dash.
Through this suite NJ. Ysaye did not
once acknowledge the applause which
was generous after each movement, put
tried to discourage such an interruption
Of the continuity of the suite. He is a
commanding figure as he conducts and
the members of the orchestra follow
every gesture and every expression: NJ.
Ysaye conducts with vigorous beat
and wastes no energy in unnecessary
movements or gestures. He seems al
most greater conductor than he is a
violinist.

PRESIDENT PLEADS
FOR HUNGRY CHINA
distress There Is Tragic y
He Says, in Appeal for
Americans Aid.

An appeal to the American people
to "do everything in their power to-
ward the relief of famine conditions
in China was issued today by Presi-
dent Harding.
The President declared that al
though the nation already had given
literally to the relief committee the
fund still was entirely inadequate for
the task.
Text Of Appeal.
"At this. the earliest practicable mo-
ment of my administrations. the ap-
peal states, 81 desire to add my own
to the many appeals which have been
issued heretofore in behalf of the
starving people of a large section or
China.
II am informed that the American
committee and the church and otner
organizations cooperating with II
have already remitted several millions
of dollars to the American and inter-
national relief committees in emma
and that already a great relief work
has been accomplished. Nevertn:less,
my information is that the means
thus far placed at the command OF
these organizations are entirely IN
adequate to the task they confront.
Picture Is Tragic.
"Since the beginning of this relief
movement much more accurate un-
derstanding of the grave situation
has become possible. The Depart
ment of State has, from time to time:
made public information received
through it's representatives in China
as to the conditions prevailing there.
The picture of China's distress Is SO
tragic that / am moved. therefore. TO
renew the appeals heretofore MADE
and to express the hope that the
American people will continue 10
contribute to this Humanitarian cause
as generously as they possibly can.
"The cry for succor comes to US
from a people far distant, but linked
to us by manifold ties of friendly as Is,
sociation, confidence and good VIII.
The American nation has never 1ail-
ed to demonstrate its friendship TOT
the people of China. and that friend
shin has always been reciprocated IN
a manner which, 1 feel, justihes the
hope that in this hour OF Chinas dls-
tress our people will do everything
in their power for it's amelioranon.

There will be no review by the

another via the United States is in

British government had made repre-
sentations. and the Treasury Depart
ment had requested the review. be-
cause of the international questions
said to be involved.
According to prohibition officials
the Justice Departments refusal will

State Department to renew it's re-
quest and in doing so will cite exist
ing commercial treaties. especially
with regard to Canada.
Until the matter is finally settled,
officials said. customs regulations on
the subject would be held in abey-
ance and the status both of transship-
ment of liquor and vessels touching

est crowd which has ever attended

Pat Mcdonald. famous New York

here for the games as will numerous
other Eastern athletes who have

. MAY RIVAL DERBY
Great Field of Thoroughbreds
Will Face the Barrier
Monday.

PIMLIco, May 14-Interest is
rife here today over the renewal
of the Preakness, scheduled for
Monday. With $4,000 added and a
starting fee Of $1,000, there is every
indication that the winners end will
be fully as large as that Of the
Kentucky derby. Tryster, the de-
feated favorite for last Saturdays
big event in Kentucky. is being
picked by many to come through in
Mondays event ,,---.-
Coming from Kentucky also to
start in the Preakness' are the
XaIapa farm pair. Leonardo II and
Bon Homme. Following the run
ming Of the derby ii would neces-
state some stretch of the imagina-
tion to picture either OF these two
taking the measure Of the Whitney
colt Leonardo, whose forte was
conceded to be speed with his stay
ing mowers, found himself outrun in
the Downs event. while Bon Homnne.
though a useful colt. is far short
of q top-notcher. For possible con-
tention one must look therefore
among other probable startersYwho
may be made up Of Bennington,
Sunny Jim. Dimmesdale. Baby Grand,
Touch Me Not. Mythology. Lough
Storm. Allirio and Smoke Screen.
OF these Remington. Sunny Jim.
Touch Me Not and Smoke Screen
seem to be the choice Of the lot.
With the exception of Sunny Jim
all started as 2-year-olds and for
one reason or other failed to race
up to their private regulations.
This year all four however, have
shown pronounCedly what was eN
pected of them as Juveniles and all
are more than likely to turn out
sterling 3-year-olds. If Tryster is
to he beaten. an cventuality which
the best informed here are unwill-
ing to accede. his conQueror un-
doubtedly will come from this
quartet.
