local organization put all its efforts this year into the great story of the Morse King. Last night the society showed its true worth and it's unusual excellence with this serious compost ton.
 With the society were Miss Jeanette Vreeland,, soprano; Paul Althouse, soloists. If either of these artists should ever contemplate a book of memoirs, their work at the presenta- ion of King Olaf would add a bright page in the 1922 chapter.
 No soloists could have been re- ceived with greater warmth and enthusiasm than these three. They received a tremendous ovation from the chorus with whom they worked and the audience and had it been possible, there is no doubt, several encores would have been demanded.
 The piece is one of the most diff cult or popular oratorios in which the voices must blend from delicate tones to the great swell of grand organ, and then dwindle to the fine drumming of a light stringed inStru ment. To Arthur Mees, the conduc- tor belongs a great amount of credit for the achievement of the extraordi- nary. success at last nights presenta- tion.
 The story is of a legend of the Norsemen, which opens with the struggle between King Olaf, a Chris tian and the god Thor, the god of Thunder. The fugitive Ilaf returns to his homeland with the desire to estab- fish Christianity in the realm of his people. Despite the opposition of the old warrior Ironbeard, Olaf succeeds in convincing his people.
 Ironbeard is killed by the King while he is endevoring to prevent the Christians destruction of his pagan idol, the image of Thor. Weekly sur rendering themselves, the people bow before their king, in lobeisance to the new religion.

Hollis Divorce
 Not Recognized

Sofia, April 19-(By The A. P.)- The divorce issued to former United States Henry F. Hollis of New Hamp- shire, by the pastor of the Unitarian church. at Dubnitza, is not officially recognized by the Bulgarian state and possesses no legal force, the de- partment of religion and education of the foreign office has advised the Ie- gation in Washington. The religious department denies having approved the divorce papers and the govern ment is instituting proceedings against Pastor Toplisky, who granted the di- vorce.
 . pr. Dobtshef. professor of canonical law at Sofia University, declares the divorce invalid by virtue of the Bull garian laws He points out that Bulgarian religious authorities have not the power to annul a marriage concluded civilly either at home or abroad and says that only the civil authority which executed such a mar riage can annul it.
 The Bulgarian newspapers are printing long articles commenting upon the strangeness of the case. MT. Hollis is well known here, as he had represented a large American cor poration endeavoring to sell the gov ernment excess American war stocks of freight cars.
 Paris, April 19-Former Senator Hollis when informed of the Bulgar- ian governments action in declaring his recent divorce illegal, said:
 All I care to say now is that I acted upon what I considered sound legal advice. am confident the df- vorce will stand"

City Withers For Slump In Potash

RIsncoln. Neb-, April 19.-Antioch, ''the wonder city, rapidly is slipping back to Antioch. the flag station.
 From a sleepy, sun-parched village of POO inhabitants to a thriving manu- featuring city of more than 5000 was the almost overnight transformation wrought on Antioch by war. Thus the town acquired it's sobriquet "Nebras- ka's Wonder City"
 no further excuse for Antioch the city. Its industry-potash-w dead.
 Antioch, the flag station, in West ern Nebraska. WAS surrounded by a chain of stagpant lakes, the waters of which were heavily impregnated with chemicals believed to have no comm ercial value. With the declara- ton of war it was discovered one of these deposits was potash Govern port on the waters, and Uncle Sam spent $5,OOO.0oO in a string of potash refining plants and evaporating sys- tems at Antioch Lured by high wages an army of 5000 workers Hooked to the place. built the mushroom city and ''stuck around" until the armis- tice whistles blew.
 With the potash market dead, one plant after another suspended Anti och shriveled almost as rapidly as it had grown. The population that had swept prairie gradually concentrated into a few houses near the little red brick station-the flag station that served Antioch before the boom days.
 Today less than 500 persons claim Antioch as their home, and of these 250 are said to be without occupation.

British Labor To
 Play Arms Meet

Nottingham, Eng, April 19.-The Washington Conference was taken out of the closet today and help up to riddling criticism when the Indepen- dent Labor Party met here in its thirtieth annual convention.
 A resolution attacking the Wash ington Conference as a mere sham was introduced by members of the Kirkintiloch branch. of the party.
 The resolU tion follows:
 That this conference condemns the Washington Congress on the limi- tation of armament was a sham, in jew of the fact that none of the gov ernlnents represented really wants disarmament. We warn the peoples suffering under the terror and bur den of militariSm and armaments that disarmament is impossible under capitalism. We therefore recomm end the peoples to work for the establish ment of socialism as the only possible basis for peace and disarmament.
 Other resolutions have been pre- pared for rassage blythe convention cong atrlatlng the people of Ireland upon their aCCe SSion to a Free State.
 The convention is expected to go on record as favoring Free State government for Indian and Egypt, similar to that already granted Ire land.

FEWER ADMIRAIS BUT
 MORE TEACHERS WANTED

Paris. April 19 = Give us fewer admiraIs and more university pro- fessors." is the demand of one of the weekly political reviews. The paper cites Le Journal as to the plentiful crop of admirals in the French navy. At Brest there is a vice-admiral. two contre-admirals. another admiral commanding the division of schools, a post recently created to occupy more admirals; a fifth admiral com mands the division of the Voltaire. Diderot and Condorcet, old eggshells out of fashion and without value; a sixth admiral commands the cruisers NIichelet and Victor Hugo, which are not worth more"
 ''On the other hand the appropria- tions for our faculties and labora- tories have necessitated reducing the number of professors says Le Car net de la Semaine.
