Apaches Not Decreasing
According to Supt. Davis

Statements attributed to C. NJ We'll
felt in the last issue of the Mail
concerning the rapid decrease of the
Apache Indians tribe from the raw
ages of tuberculosis, are untrue ac-
cording to Charles L. Davis, superin-
tendent of the Apache Indian reser-.
walton.
Contrary to the opinions attributed
to Welfelt, an electrical engineer in
the government Indian service trans
ferred from Fort Apache to the Ute
tribe at Ignacio, Colorado, Mr.. Davis
gives government statistics to show
that the Apaches are not decreasing
In 1906 the Apaches numbered 1912;
in 1912, 2401; in 1920, .2495; and in
1923, $500. The government takes an
actual count of it's Indian population
every year, and the vital statistics
/ show the actual facts.
! During the winter Of 1918-19, whe1
the influenza swept over the entire
country, the loss therefrom to this
tribe, was less than. IL per cent
Mr.. Davis said that he did not know
what the loss at that time was t.
! the. Navajos, but he anticipates that
/ it was nearly 10 per cent.
The superintendent suggests tha-
the other information" offered BY
Mr.. Welfelt is not subject to cor
rection from actual records, but thai
/ it will probably be sufficient to say
4 that it is quite as erroneous as thai
bearing on vital statistics.

DE PACHMANN At PIANO RAISES
GHOSTS OF MASTERS HE LOVED
Chats IL, Whimsical Mood
of OId-Tinle Com
P0Sers.
COdo,Usky Sole Heir to
Genius of Dead,
Pianist Says.

A little old man, with long, gray hair,
short, stubby fingers, and a square body
bent with asthma, welcomed a few
friends at his hotel last night. 1t
was Vladimir De Pachmann, consider
ed by many critics the greatest
pianist in the world. Today at the
National Theater he will give con-
cert and all musical Washington will
listen to the master interpreter of
Chopin.
His mother was Turkish and father
was German. He was born in Russia
and his children are French.
AS he himself expressed it with a
quaint grimace: My nationality is
like cafe au lait, tea and chocolate
all mixed together"
The old master was in a gracious
mood in spite of tiresome journey
from Norfolk, where he gave his con-
cert Tuesday night. He chose to talk
about the great composers, with the
mellowed outlook of his three-quar-
ters of century Of life.
Loves Old Masters.
Bach, Beethoven, Brahms, Chopin
and Schumann-they are the old mas
ters. There have been none like them
since their time" said De Pachmann.
"Godowsky is the greatest composer
y
Godowsky, and he has fine piano
technique, but he says to me, I write
my music, but you play 1t for me,
Vlad.'
"Ah, his etudes-I play them every
day, but not for the public. I have
my two and a half hours of practice
with them tomorrow morning. Days
give evening concerts, l play four
hours during the day. And always !
play Godowsky. 1 will play one or
two for you"
Down on his stool before the baby
grand in his apartment literally
bounced the eager old pianist, and
from under those famous fingers rip
pied unbelievably swift and belllike
runs with clever lingering and the
ease and straightline method that has
been worked out by De Pachmann.
all who play the piano. Added charm
was given these and several of the
famous "twenty-four" preludes of
Chopin by the facial expression and
comments made In the characteristic
De Pachmann manner.
Dislikes Modern School.
Then a brave soul present asked
the master what he thought of the
modernists of music-Debussy, Ravel,
Scriabin Cesar Frank. The old artist
shook his head and gesticulated in
ardent disapproyal.
They are no good-none OF them.
Worse of all, Debussy, and as for
Cesar Frank-he is SO dead But

the pianist who has become noted for
his confidence as a performer. said:
"I am a pianist-well, yes! with
indescribable gestures of admission)
but a composer, no, not so great. The
composer today is Godowsky. OF
pianists, there was only one before
me-LisZt."
Other memories swarmed to the
fore in his fascinating monologue,
and De Pachmann told of a luncheon
with "the two great ones" Ldszt and
Wagner, when, upon De Pachmann's
playing of Chopin's "Ballade in q
Minor" Wagner embraced him and
kissed his hand. "And I said, oh.
but, master, you should not kiss my
hand" said De Pachmann. Again,
while on his honeymoon with his wife,
when he was 35 years old, De Pach-
mann met Rameau and won that COM
poser's warm praise.
Still discussing the art of musical
composition, the old man told with
parental pride Of his own son Leon1,
who is in Paris, and his talent TOT
composition.
But, although I am proud of him
as my son and know his work Is good,
he has not the genius that the old
masters had" said the candid De
Pachmann.
Paris is the city best beloved OF all
by this pianist, but ho says that Ber-
lin and Rome are the two greatest
musical cities and the places where
he finds the most appreciative audi
|,ences. There. and rarely elsewhere
in public, will be play Godowsky's
works.
"The people of Berlin and Rome
they understand my friends music,
said De Pachmann.
When talking Of his revolutionized
methods and his genius of playing,
the old man expressed his views on
religion. Very contradictory views
they are, for he says 1t Is the intel
lect that, through the material does
great things-yet he admits genius.
De Pachmann has much respect and
admiration for the sciences and places
them on the, Same level of Importance
as the arts.

GENEVA, October 23.-The League
of Nations will live and develop for
the benefit of mankind in proportion
as it Is successful in gaining and re-
tanning popular confidence, Prof. VIII
liam Rappard of Geneva University,
director of the leagues mandate sec
ton, declared today in Valedlctory
address before the permanent man
date commission prior to his taxing
over the duties of vice rector or Ge-
reva University. Prof. Rappard was
at one time connected with Harvard
University.
The retiring league official empha-
sized the keen interest with which
the United States and Germany are
following the management of the
inundated territory, the impartial
character Of which, he said, would
mean the improvement of the we'll
being of millions of persons and the
Fastening Of the progress of civiliza-
tion among backward peoples.
Mandates Are Defended.
Prof. Rappard warned against the
opinion in some quarters that the
institution of mandates was merely a
hypocritical cover for ll-disguised
annexation. He believed the continu-
alton OF steady insistence on the sa-
peoples would enhance the moral
prestige Of the league.
The session of the mandate commits
sion which opened today Is regarded
as particularly important because
the commission for the first time
will examine reports which Great
Britain will present on Palestine and
which France Will present on Syria
and Lebanon.
The commission also will examine
Japan's handling of the inundated
South Sea Islands.
Sir Herbert Samuel, high commits
sioner for Palestine. will arrive later
TO submit his report in person, in
compliance with the commissions de-
sire that the administrators should
themselves present their accountings.
Two high officials of the British ad-
administration of the Gold Coast and
Nigeria and II member of the Jap
anesc administration of the terri
tories under Japanese mandate also
viii appear to answer questions in
