In "Otello.

The presentation of Verdi's opera
version Of Shakespeare's "Othello"
by the San Carlo Opera Company at
Polls Theater last night was one Of
the most dramatic Of all the per-
formances offered during the week. 1t
was so full of tense tragedy and fine
acting, as we'll as excellent singing
by principals. that no ballet numbers
were given. The attention of the au-
dience was chained to the stage and
never wavered through the four acts,
even though there were unusually
long intermissions.
Manuel Salazar rose to superb
heights as Otello. the Moor. He sang
the role powerfully with a great
tenor voice and with fine apprecia-
tion OF all technical shadings. He
fairly vibrated with the motions of
his moods. expressing the character
tzation much more vividly than by
mere facial expressions and the usual
stage gestures. His Ora a Per
sempre Addio' was splendid:

FILMS GIVE VIVID
EARTHQUAKE STORY
Motion Pictures of Japan's
Disaster Shown Here for
First Time in America.

Hitherto undisclosed phases of the
wave were depicted in several ex-
traordinary reels of motion pictures
shown for the first time in this coun-
try before members Of the National
Geographic Society last night in the
New Masonic Temple.
OF marked geographical interest
were those which showed the new
coast conformations. which will make
necessary a survey of many miles of
japanese shores. The effects Of the
upheaval upon the countryside also
were new. The bridges, roads and
tunnels in this area were devastated
and different physical conditions Gre
ated. which engineers must cope with
before these can be restored.
The pictures were brought here by
H Freudisperger, a Viennese artist.
who has been studying Japanese art
In Toxic for twelve years and recog-
nized as a portrait painter when the
earthquake destroyed all his work.
He escaped with his life and the mo-
tion picture reels taken BY Japanese
cameramen.
In Toxic the motion picture men
were present in the vicinity of the
fires beginnings. and they followed
the raging flames backward in their
devastating course. In Yokohama the
effects were especially impressive, for
whole streets were wiped out, and,
from the pictures, 1t often was I'M
possible to trace the former course
of the thoroughfares
Arthur Stanley Riggs. the lecturer,
paid a high tribute to the fortitude
Of the Japanese people. explaining
that the surprising calm which the
pictures showed to prevail in the
wake OF the disaster was due to
training children from an early age
in the behavior expected in the face
OF such calamities.
The speaker said that the charges
OF neglect by the japanese govern
ment of the suffering thousands were
not justified. He said there were in
dividual cases galore OF remarkable
devotion to duty, such as those of
soldiers and police who died of ex-
haustion from their relief work.

FARMERS TO MEET HERE.
Demand Enactment of Government

Stating that the farmers have been

TO the farmers has been passed by

atiyes from western and south ern-
states who don't go the limit in
working for the Norris Sinclair Gov
ernment Mark keting Corporation bill,
to enable farmers to get a fair share

Weeks Urges More Money
For Greater Defense Forces
Secretary of War Yarns of I',adequacy
of Present Arn,y--Fe,cer Men Under
Training This Year, He Says.

Thus for each dollar which the
average citizen pays for govern
mental purposes" the War Secretary
continued. approximately s cents is
for national defense and approx
mately ~ cents for Army purposes"
Efficiency Paramount.
Reverting to the present condition
of the Army and his warning that
increased appropriations soon would
be needed. although the military
budget is held down this year to sub
stantially the amount granted by
Congress for the current fiscal year.
Secretary Weeks said:
I'm national security more than in
any other matter. efficiency must be
paramount. There can be no economy
Navy. No matter how little they
cost. II they are inefficient they are a
useless extravaganza"
Answering opponents Of defense ex-
penditures. who assert that such ap-
propriations are unnecessary on the
arguments that the last war has
been fought. or that Americans Will
rise up like one man for defense IL
the emergency should come again. .
Mr.. Weeks pointed to the lessons of
the world war.
1--WE learned then" he said. that
even with allies protecting our front.
we would always be put to tre-
mendous effort at tremendous cost
lies, the raw levies that we could
raise would be practically at the
mercy OF a determined enemy"
Belief Not Substnntinted.
"The first claim has been advanced
after every great war for the past
thousand years, at least. and probably
since the beginning OF time. Such q
belief cannot be substantiated until
we are also prepared to state that the
last murder and the last robbery have
been committed and that competitive
will power has at last been removed
from the human breast.
"The American people should realize
that the national defense act was
drawn up to provide essential secur-
ity by a plan that would completely
eliminate any possibility of the
growth of militarism. Our present
scheme Is compromise between COM
pulsory universal service. on the one
hand and the maintenance OF large
professional army on the other. The
experience Of the world war clearly
taught us the need for such security.
1t is the height of folly to continue
the recent policy of cutting our finan-
cial support OF the War Department
defense act Is endangered. We should
welcome the idea of increasing our
present appropriations. when prac-
ticable, in order to insure the sound
growth of this system that provides
security. without running the danger
either of creating a great profession
al army or necessitating compulsory
military training. I believe that our
citizens welcome the present scheme
BY all means let us insure its success
by keeping the Regular Army up to
ing funds enough to develop our vol
untary citizen training as contem-
plated in the defense act"
