Gogorza'S Recital
Gipes Happiness
to Large Audience
Sings English, French and
Spanish Songs in First Con-
cert in Town Hall.

Emilio de Gogorza, barytone, gave
Hall yesterday afternoon. This admir-
able singers popularity was attested by
the size and character OF his audience
as well as by the discriminating nature
of the applause which he received. The
programme was composed OF songs in
English. French and Spanish. There
was greater demand for elegance of
style and for intimacy of communica-
ton than for the wider sweeps of pas
sionatc utterance.
However. in the little group of Rus
sian iyrics, sung in English, Mr.. de
Gogorza was permitted to disclose his
power to express the profounGer emo
tions. Mousorgsky's After the Battle
was the medium. In the same COM
posers THE Goat" he reached perhaps
the highest level of satiric humor at.
tanned in his recital while his delivery
of THE Seminarinn." not unknown
here, was again received with delight.
Among the other songs was a group
Of four by Cyril Scott. The first. sea
Fret" was also melodic fret and very
poor fret at that, and the third, a ser
enade. was commonplace; but "Old
Loves" in style approaching that of
folk song, and Time O Day." frankly
popular. were pleasing.
Mr.. de Gogorzas recital was a source
Of happiness to those who love good
singing. His remarkable command Of
tonal variety. his exquisite adjustment
of dynamic values and of accent, his fin
ished phrasing and his diction. all en-
ployed for the legitimate purposes of in
depreciation, and not for mere vocal eff
feet command unceasing admiration.
Mr.. de Gogorza is one Of the most gen.
erously equipped, as he is one of the
most sensitive, Of all singers with whom
this public has the fortune to be ac-
quainted.

FIGHTS FOR PEACE

of His Stand
Mrs. Wilson Wanted to Make
Speech, Too, But Couldn't.

Washington, Feb. 22.-President
wilson in an address today to a dele
cation from the Woodrow Wilson club,
OF Harvard university, whom he re-
cefved at the White House. declared
he would bend his efforts to the last
in porting the cause of world peace.
In the group were six Harvard un-
dergraduates whom the president re-
ceived in the company of Mrs. Wilson
in his study.
Mr.. Wilson told the delegation that
he would leave to historians the task
of interpreting the events of the Paris
peace conference and declared IL he
ever devoted himself again to writing.
1t would be along impersonal lines.
The president said he most preferred
TO spend the remainder of his days in
advancing the cause of the world peace
and to that end he would give his
whole strength and time.
Mr.. Stewart told the president that
the Harvard Woodrow Wilson club
wished upon the anniversary of the
birth of Washington to extend their
greeting to you. the greatest Ameri-
can of your generation" and that in
spired by Wilsonian ideals, the club
proposed to perpetuate the ideals to
which the president had given con-
crete expression.
Mrs. Wilson. who was standing be-
side che president apparently much
moved by the tribute expressed by the
college men, expressed a wish that she
might make a~speech, but said she
would not because she never had. The
president shook hands with each Of the
lnembersSof the delegation and chatted
with them informally after his formal
acknowledgment.

Three Local Camps Plan Campaign to
Cover Entire City.

A membership campaign that prom
Uses to put many new members on the
books of the Modern Woodmen of
America in Topeka has been inaug-
urated by the three local camps of
that society. The plan being carried
out is the selection of ten members from
each of the three camps to form q
general committee of thirty, and the
head of the campaign. This general
committee has divided the city into
ten zones, over which one committee
, man from each camp will hold himself
responsible. and in which he will select
members from his camp to assist in a
house to house canvass. Every Wood
man in the city is member of the
zone committee in the zone he lives IN.
Before the organization was well
under way, members of Sunflower
camp got busy, and that camp has
seventy-five applicants ready to be
adopted. There are 1000 Modern
Woodmen in Topeka.
A jubilee meeting of the three
camps will be held March 9, at which
time it is proposed to have a number
of prominent leaders in Woodcraft
here, including Director e. e. Muir

T'The purely commercial aspect of
the situation is that from now on such
