WANT U. s. TO AID
League of Nations Seeks Way to Have America Take Part in Election of International Judges.

Geneva, Nov 1, (By Associated Press) .---Informal negotiations have been going on for sometime between the league of nations and the state department in Washington to make possible American participation in the election of judges to the permanent court of International justice. 1t was said at the league headquarters here today.
 The statement followed receipt of Washington advioes stating that ad- justments were in progress looking toward American government repre- sentation in the court which was created under the treaty of Versailles. Secretary of State Hughes, 1t is de- |clared had correspondence with Am orleans here during the last assembly in which ,he made 1t clear that the United States could not accept the jurisdiction of the court until the Am erican government had some voice in the election of the judges.
 Several suggestions have been made privately in Washington by friends of the league the principal one of which is that the United States might sign the protocol instituting the court while the leagues assembly and coun- cil might amend the statutes so that a non-member of the league adhering to the statutes could participate in the election of the judges.
 Another suggestion advanced is that the assembly and council might so amend the statutes that non-mem- Der accepting the Jurisdiction Of the court should participate in the cleo ton of the judges even without sign ing the protocol

 IN R0TARY'S CREED
Dr. Barker Inspires Local Mem bers at Monday Gathering

Members of the New Britain Rot ary club was treated to a live talk on Rotary work at the weekly luncheon of the organization held this noon at the Elks' club on Washington street. When Dr. Charles F, Barker spoke on The hall-marks of real Rotar- ian" pr. Barker spoke at the Senior High school this morning, at the Camp school auditorium this after noon for women and will speak this evening nt o'clock at the Camp school auditorium for men and boys over 1< years of age.
 In discussing the facts and points which go to make a man a real Rotarian Dr. Barker said that he must not only wear his Rotary but ton and have a perfect attendance record but he must know the true meaning of the Rotary slogan "He Profits Most Who Serves Best"
 Tho speaker asserted that to many the slogan was just sentiment or a theory. thst 1t meant nothing and was just few words to be learned when entering the club and perhaps laid aside several weeks later only to bs.thousht of when speaker or an officer of the club brings out a re- hinder of the fact that the club still has the motto to live up to.
 pr. Barker asserted that man can- not be true Rotarian unless hc lives up to his slogan and makes 1t function. The wearing of buttons and a perfect attendance record amount to little, the speaker asserted, un- less he does this he is putting on a false front as a Rotarian.
 At the luncheon this noon the Ro- tarians received an invitation to at tend the annual banquet of the New Britain Chamber of Commerce on Wednesday evening of next. week. There will be an attendance contest between members of the Lions and Rotary clubs at this luncheon.
 At the request of Scoutmaster Walter o. Cook, Ralph BrNton, George Dyson and Albert Volz vol- unteered to drive members of the boy scout troop at the Newington Home for Cripples to New Haven on Saturday so that they may see the Yale-Brown game.
 Criticizes "Petting Parties"
 Dr. Barker spoke at an assembly at the Senior High school this morning having as his subject, How to make a success of iife."
 The speaker told the students that their chief aim in life should be to make good" Quoting former Presi- dent Garfield, pr. Barker said that the three things essential to make a success of life are a strong arm, a clear head and brave heart.
 Speaking of brave hearts" the doctor asserted that this means the will power to resist temptations that would tend to lower persons moral standard. He commented with much vigor on the practice of betting par ties' among High school students.

IOWA TO DELAY
No Reply To Yalc's Invitation For Game Next Year Is Likely Before Next Month.

Chicago, Nov. 1.--Iowa's acceptance of the invitation to meet Yale in an- other sectional football game in the,Yale Bowl 1923 probably will be deferred until a meeting of the west ern conference faculty committee scheduled to be held here early in December 1t was said in athletic cir cles today.
 The conference rule in regard to inter-sectfonat games is not ironclad 1t is pointed out and does not absolutely prohibit games with members of the "big three" or other eastern elevehs, but was designed primarily. according to football observers to prohibit games such as Ohio State undertook when the Buckeyes played California in the annual New Years day game at Pasadena two years ago.
 The faculty representatives in pass- Ing the rule desired to stop the prac- tice of scheduling games that would require long trips and keep players away from their classes too long.

.John Mccormack,
Despite Illness,
In Good Voice

MUCH of the interest in the
WI first appearance of John Nc
Cormack after his prolonged H.
ness revolved around whether his
serious indisposition had affected
his remarkable voice. Mccormack
is noticeably thinner but the won
derfully soft and mellow tones are
unimpaired and an audience that
packed Polls theater to the doors
acclaimed the artist yesterday.
There Is only one Mccormack.
His talents intrigue not only the
student of music but are so en-
dowed with tender sentiment the
everyday mortal feels an echoing
response. As usual, he was at his
best in the realm Of ballad.
The group of Irish folk songs
loft in the Silly Night" "Kath-
leen O'Moore," "If I Had Knew"
and THE Bard Of Armagh" were
delivered with the delicious brosue
and roguish sentiment of the true
Celt. Always gracious with en-
cores he responded with 1.-THE
Road to Fairyland," Dear Ath.
lone" and the always popular
Mother Machree," the latter a
heart melody without which no
Mccormack concert is complete.
Music lovers paid tribute to the
Handel oratorio. 20. Sleep, Why
Dost Thou Leave Me-" and the
dramatic cantata. Enjoy the
Sweet Elysian Groves" both rem.
dered with finesse and depth of
feeling that accentuated their i'm.
pressive themes.
An enthusiastic audience re.
mained in their seats until Mr.. Nc,
Cormack responded TO insistent an.

Dan,rosch Makes
Last appearance
In Fine Program
BY LEE soMERs.

THE New York Symphony Or
= chestra concert at the. Ma
tional Theatsr yesterday after
noon was notable for three things
"A Tschaikowsli program. the
final appearance for this season
of Walter Damfosch as conductor.
and the presentation Of Alexander
silot. the distinguished Russian
pianist, as the soloist.
The program was unusually
short, for 1t included only two
numbers - Tschaikowski's Fifth
Symphony. and his Concerto In.
B fiat. The symphony. which has
excited mixed emotions among
musical connoisseurs, but which
Is much more generally admired
now than at the time it was
written, fs hardly q cheerful work
at best, and its first movement
was rather coldly received yester-
day.
The familiar second movement,
andante cantabile, awoke q much
more favorable response, how
ever, and the pleasing third
movement-valse. allegro mod
erato-proved even more accept
able. The interest of the audience
rose in crescendo from the open.
ing Of the work through the final
movement, and the conclusion
was followed by a storm of ap.
plause.
The last movement is most well
come for two reasons-first, be-
cause OF its expression Of Russian
charactertstics, and second, be-
cause II resolves the shadows that
enter more or less obtrusively
into the earlier parts Of the work
In a clear and resounding climax.
The concerto is more vivid.
and on the whole, probably more
generally pleasing composition
than <the symphony. which, by
those who are not particularly
fond Of 1t. is considered rather de-
pressing. Mr.. Siloti, as is his
wont, was far from reposeful at
his instrument, but his work was
brilliant. as usual, and he PLAYED
the second movement. which has
great lyric charm, with much feel
ing and understanding. The first
movement abounds in technical
fireworks, but these, Of course,
have no terrors for Mr.. Siloti.
The orchestra gave him admirable
assistance.
Probably the most interesting
part OF the entire program was
the final movement Of the con.
certo, In which. as in the case Of
the symphony. the national ex.
preston tends to dominate. There
Is q warmth and feeling in these
characteristically Russian episodes
that are lacking elsewhere. and
one can hardly help thi liking that
here Tschaikowski becomes more
than a musician-an interpreter
of the mysticism of his race and
nation. In any event, Mr.. Siloti
and the orchestra here won their
audience completely, and the ap-
plause that followed approached
the dimensions Of an ovation.
T. Arthur Smith, Inc, under
whose auspices the concert was
given. announce that Albert Coates
will conduct at the remaining ap.
pearances Of the New York Sym
phony this season.
