THRILLS FOR
AUDIENCE
Solos by Washington Opera
Company Members Win
Applause.

Opera lovers had an opportunity
to hear a delightful production yes
terday when "Rigoletto" was re-
peated at the President Theater.
Judging from the crowded boxes and
well-filled house, Washington delights
in it's own opera company. Every
solo brought hearty applause, and
the third act was so vigorously en-
cored that not only the principals,
but the directors as well, answered
the clapping. =
Unfortunately, Miss Crawford was
suffering from a severe cold, which
affected the timbre of her unusually
sweet voice, but she gave a very
pleasing Interpretation of Gilda. In
Miss Crawford's voice was most APP
her annoying cold. This annoyance
was somewhat overcome during the
following acts, and in the quartet
she seemed to have mastered her
cough. During the scene where Gilda
pleads for her lover, her suffering
was excellently portrayed, and the
audience was moved by the act1nS
of the Italian maiden.
The same praise that was ACCORDED

Torrance of "Rigoletto" should be
repeated for yesterdays presenta-

REROUTINGCARS
PLANNED To
AID TRAFFIC
Commissioners Consider Pro-
posaI for Changes by
Both Companies.

Two propositions for relieving the
congestion in downtown Washington
by rerouting street cars are being
considered by the Public Utilities
Commission. 1t was learned today.
The propositions are: Fourteenth
street cars of the Capital Traction
Company to detour east at Four
teenth and / streets to Fifteenth
street, and then proceed down FIT
teenth street to Pennsylvania
avenue and connect with other
tracks of the company. This would
eliminate all of the Traction Com
pany's tracks below I street and on
New York avenue between Four
teenth and Fifteenth streets.
Mt. Pleasant cars bound for Po-
tomac Park to continue west on Fl
street and after reaching the turn
at Seventeenth and proceed under
double track out III to Eighteenth,
a single track to continue to Nine
teenth and then turn down Nine.
teenth street on the Traction Com
pany's tracks to Potomac Park,
making a loop and return on Eight
zenith street (north) to III street and
LhcH turn east on the uOuU4c lIdSh'
It has also been suggested that the
Fl street cars of the w. r. & E.
connect with the Traction Com
pany's lines at Fifteenth street,
thereby furnishing a direct route
to Potomac Park.
The first proposition Is said to be
favored by the Commissioners and
both railway companies. It is tenta-
tive, however It is also said the
plan is contingent upon the widen
ing of Fifteenth street between and
Pennsylvania avenue.
The second proposition has not
been placed before the companies, but
will be shortly.
The commission is of the opinion
some Encouragement should be made
and for this reason these several
plans are being considered.

Long smoldering discomfort in the
Senate over the Administration S
foreign policy broke out this after.
noon.
Senator Owen of Oklahoma
warned that the French invasion Of
Germany lis again dividing the
world into two contending camps"
where the ultimate result may be
another war.
Before it is too late" Owen said,
the United States should join with
other great nations in guaranteeing
France from invasion. under the
principles of the League of Nations,
but only on the condition France
herself does not INVADE.
Il think the German people
should have the same guaranty Of
freedom from invasion and that the
world should use economic pressure
on the German people to the extent
that world tribunal shall ascertain
such PREPARATIONS as are due and
payable"
Moral Support Lacking.
'The invasion of Germany by the
French military forces will not
meet the moral approval of Amer
lea. first, because they see in this
invasion the sowing of dragons
teeth, the building up of a more
intense hatred between the Ger.
man and French people, and the
building up of greater hostilities be-
tween those who will sympathize
with Germany on the one hand and
the French and the Belgians on
the other, dividing the world again
into two contending camps, where
the ultimate attitude may be an
other appeal to organized military
force" he said.
Second, because the French
leadership seems to be indisposed
to allow controverted questions as
to the amount of the reparations
and the means of collecting repara.
tons to be settled by economic
methods. They have dictated the
amount, the terms, and are collect
ing or trying to collect by military
force, and will break down the pro-
ductive power of the German peo-
