Following the long and religious
prelude to Lohengrin, Robert Sanders,
a young student of composition at
Bush, directed the first performance
of two of his works for orchestra, a
scherzo and short tone poem called.
"Carneval." Both his directing and
his composition showed skill and in
genuity. The "Carneval' especially,
in ultra-modern idiom and well or
chestrated, won the approval Of San
ders' hearers.

by a governor or supreme dictator,

problems"
Isn't that almost rational idea?"
Almost.
Now supposing the Trib continues
along that line and finds that when
those who work get living and saw
ing wage-and a living wage is moth
ing less than all that the worker pro-
duces-that there is nothing left for
capital to get, leaving capital to starve
to death, will the Trib help us bury
the old corpse so it may not offend
our sensitive smelling apparatus?
Leach may be honest about his en-
deavor to serve two opposing mas
tiers, but both the good communists
and the bad book say it can't be done.
The republican party has always
been true TO its class. It has always
promised to serve both the workers
and the capitalists but the only way
II has served the workers is with in

viate from this time-honored custom
that causes the knees Of the Tribune

will help capital to "a fair return"

REICHSTAG DEPUTY
lRKED BY REPORTERS
Diverges From Annual Speech, But
Writers Fail to Note
Change.
BY the Associated Press.

1y the Associated Press.
BERLIN, March 29.-Reporters in
the German reichstag get just as
tired of dry routine as the American
newspa per men do in the press gal
1eries OF Congress. and many anus
ing incidents arise over the failure
of reporters to sit entirely through
sessions of the German Legislative;
body.
DR.. Otto Arendt, who belonged to
the reichstag many years, tells in
his recently published memoirs of an
experience Herr Lingens, a deputy
of the Catholic party, had with the
German press. Herr Lingens was ac-
customed to deliver a long speech
every year on Sunday observance.
He delivered this in connection with
the consideration of the budget, or
dlnarily. But one year ne spoke at
length on another subject and in such
low voice that the galleries emptied
and the reporters took refuge in the
cafes of the reichstag. which are
famous for their excellent beers.
The next day the press announced d
delegate Lingens spoke as is his
habit on Sunday rest
Herr LingenS was very angry and
was granted permission by the pres
ident OF the reichstag to speak again
the next day before the order of the
day was entered upon. He com
planned in this speech of the faulty
reporting done by the press.
But the newspapers all came out
with this statement: Before the BODY
entered. upon the days order Dele
gate Lingens repeated his well known

are warmer. Her hair flows uncon-
fined down her back, she has sandals,
and often she carries a pad of writing
paper in the crook of one arm, the
way Sappho used to carry her waXen
tablets or roll or papyrus or what
ever she wrote upon.
SnpphO and Sardines.
Now and then Sappho gathers a few
conEenial souls into the bare, old
fashioned front room of the artistic
Village igloo where she lives and
gives them readings from her latest
works. Between poems she serves
sarsapariIla and sardine sandwiches.
There is, you know, an old legend
that Sappho spent a memorable week
end in Sardinia.
The whole thing, harmless and
highly entertaining, and somewhat
profitable, is typical of this town,
where you cannot only be yourself
but any one else you pick out. And it
is thoroughly typical of the spirit Of
play on which the Village is founded.
There is only one fly in Sappho's
ointment. Some one else, down the
street, claims to be Sappho also, and
wears a truckload of Greek amulets
as proof. But, fortunately for the
drawing power of both these lyriciSts,
neither Cleopatra nor the Queen of
Sheba has moved into the Village yet.

Special Disps ten 70 The Star.
NEW YORK, March 25.-There has
been no end of celebrated cotempo-
raries-celebrated for no end of
things, from the manufacture of a
railroad to the manufacture OF an
alibi-who have come to dwell in this
town of taIl-storied buildings and
ta1-story builders. But look who's
here today, No less than Sappho.
She's living at the moment in Green
w;ch Village.
Long Dead. but why Worry.
OF course. the fact that Sappho
closed her lyric career some thousand
and more years ago by jumping off
rock after an argument with her
boy friend does not matter, one way
or the other-if you get what we
mean. Since her death. or rather
since the exhumation of various frag-
nents of her love lyrics. Sappho has
really been more of a live one than
she was while alive.
Most of her poems have long since
crumbled into ashes. This isn't diff
cult to understand when you read the
remnants that remain.
Being SO live, therefore. it is per-
haps not remarkable that Sappho
found the tomb cramped her style.
Having decided to be reincarnated,
she decided on New York as the like
choicest spot therein.
Admits No Comparison.
So here she is. The barber-or was
