BAKULE CHORUS
GIVES fine
CONCERT
Forty Children, Under Red
Cross Direction, Sing As
sortment of Songs.

The Rakule Chorus, a group of
forty children, ranging in age from
eight to sixteen years, appeared yes
terday at Polls for it's first concert
in this city, under the direction Of
the Red Cross. Judge John Barton
Payne, of that organization, intro
duced DIR. Frantisec Bakule, who
gathered the chorus and trained the
children, to large and distinguished
audience. The children are only a
few of the great many little sufferers
from the European war, and the
traces of the hardships they have
undergone are still apparent in their
faces, though the irrepressible spirit
of youth will ultimately eradicate
them.
Their first selection was 1.-THE
Star Spangled Banner" which they
sang, as they did all their other Of
ferings, without accompaniment.
They next gave the national hymns
OF their own land, and followed it
with a varied selection, which in
cluded songs in English. Their COM
nnand of the language appears to be
remarkably good. Dixie" they rem
dered in way to bring tremendous
applause from the audience.
Deep feeling was shown in their
singing of abide with Me-" and "A
Child Was Left an Orphan" They
supplemented the vocal program by
demonstrations of some of their ma
tive dances.
The organization includes several
talented little soloists. and Miriam
Mikova gave a group of piano solos
most competently. The children
will sing today at the President The
alter for the school children of Wash
ington, and will thereafter visit Bal
timore, Philadelphia, New England
and the Middle West.

 The responsibility of leadership on

 him. Nobody suspects Bryan of tippling. But knowing the power oi example, he simply declares him self at every opportunity for the sake of inspiring others.
 Why should not our President. our Vice President and all their retinue Of retainers rejoice to dedi- cate the wide influence of their high position to this necessary renais- sasce of official and personal sob .,ety?
