RECITAL AT WILLIAMS
BY Mrs. Edward Mcdowell, Widow
of Famous Composer.


Mrs. Edward MacDowell, widow oI
the famous American composer, VIII
give a recital Of her husband piano
music in Williamstown on Thursday
evening, October 18th, at 8:15 o'clock
in Chaplin Hail. Friends and lovers
of Mcdowell, as well as all others
interested in music, will have an un
usual opportunity to hear the works
OF composer of international i'm
portance interpreted, not only by an
accomplished pianist, but by one who
knows better than any one else how
the composer wanted his music to be
played. The program, which Is en-
tirely chosen from MacDowell's Is
music, includes a wide range OF in
terest, from the serious numbers OF
the Sea Pieces" to the lighter and
better known Woodland Sketches. .
Mrs. MacDowell Is now playing
throughout the country in the inter
est of the MacDowell Colony at Peter
borough, New Hampshire, a unique
institution OF American arts and let.
ters, and one that is now in great
need OF funds to carry on its work.
In the woods near Peterborough,
New Hampshire, where Edward Mac
Dowell, after years OF searching,
found the quiet and inspiration to do
his greatest work, the Edward Mac
Dowell Association established in
1907 a colony for creative workers in
the seven arts. There, for fourteen
years. American poets, playwrights.
novolists, painters, sculptors, musF
clans have gathered every summer to
work under ideal conditions. During
those years a deserted farm OF eighty
acres has grown to an estate OF fye
hundred acres; where there were
then three buildings, today there are
thirty.
For years. said an eminent Euro
pean philosopher after. a visit to
Peterborough, mo such important
movement has been started for the
development OF national art
The Colony has numbered the fol-
lowing among its distinguished mem
bers: George Pierce Baker, Fred

Fourteen years OF self-sacrifice and
phenomenal labor have brought the
Colony to its present stage OF useful
ness. The contributions OF friends
and the small charge for board have
made II possible to carry on this
work. New friends must be ready TO
pick up the torch and carry it for
ward. The Association does not want
to face what every unendowed insti.
tuition faces sooner or later. large
equipment with inadequate income;
nor does II want to appeal only to a
few for the necessary endowment
Mrs. MacDowell comes to Williams
town to interest the general public
in the work OF the Colony, as well as
to raise funds for il. The proceeds
of the concert all go to the Colony

United States or any other country

These loans are, in fact, debts ow-

pressed undue strain on the debtor
countries or the threat OF a flood OF
goods from debtor countries in such
quantity as would endanger employ
ment OF the factories and workmen OF
the United States.
"Our annual payments frcm the
whole OF our debtors exclusive Of Ens
land would amount to a total of about
$3.50, 100000 per year for interest and
amortization. The burden Of payment
falls with different weight upon each
Of the nineteen different continental
debtors. Omitting the possible five
per cent that is hopeless Of collection
It will be found that respective annu
al payments due to us from different
countries vary in their burden upon
them from two to twelve per cent oi
their governmental income.
IF there be some of these countries
who should be relieved of the annua
payments for few years in order t
promote economic stability, ther
there needs be a demonstration of tht
facts in respect to each individual
country that would be convincing L
