decision 10 exclude peeresses from
 the upper chamber was virtually that
 of the government and not of the
 house Of lords, She points out that the original house of lords committee on privileges decided by seven to one in favor of the right of peeresses to vote In the house Ordinarily such a decision, supported by such a ma iority, would have been adopted by the lords without question, But the lord chancellor, Lord Birkenhead, a member of the cabinet, intervened with an amendment referring the matter back to the committee for re- consideration, And reconsideration by a committee which In the interval had been strengthened by lords of Lord Birkenhead's own way of think ing, resulted in reversing the seven to one decision. The committee decided 20 votes to four that peeresses should not sit and vote in the house of lords.
 Tt seems pretty certain" says Lady Rhondda that had 1t not been for the lord chancellor, women otherwise qualified would not be excluded from the house of lords on the ground of sex"
 The sex disqualification removal act starts with the opening generaliza- ton, "A person shall not be dis qualified by sex or marriage from the exercise of any public function" and was loudly acclaimed as women's new charter of liberty. But the act which purports to give equal oppor- tunities for men and women. Lady Rhondda points out has availed wom- en nothing when challenged Women in the civil service have been refused the same rights as men. Women doc tors in the employ of municipalities have been deprived of their positions when they married, although the act specifically stated that marriage should no longer be bar to public service.

kreuzburg, July 21.---A wild mania of speculation. recalling the days of the California gold fever, already has appeared in connection with partition of Upper Silesia. The danger of los ing certain established trade connec- tions through such stampede, how ever, is preventing some German trad CTS from entering new combinations

Trio CIassique Pleases
Second Concert Proves Varied
and Mainly Good

The Trio Classique of New York -
Celia Schiller, piano; Maurice Kauf-
man, violin, and John Mundy, cello
gave its second concert yesterday eve
ming at Aeolian Hall, beginning with q
trio in E fat major by Volkmar
Andreac. This, on the whole, was
agreeably orthodox in form and con-
struction; the opening allegro was
built on two definite, recognizable and
not unmelodious themes suggesting III
themselves and in their development,
Cesar Franck or DIndy, but with a
tendency to discords and chromatic in
tervals The ensuing somber adagio
was relieved by light, delicate presto
with lively, pleasant dance tune, fol-
lowed by vigorously rhythmic finale
which ended with the original first
theme.
The Beethoven D Major Trio, Op. TO-
No. /. proved welcome contrast Its
