FELS PRESENTS $1,000
TO OOPERASCHOOLHERE
Gift to Aid in Development of
Young American
Singers.

Samuel Fels, Philadelphia Million
aire has given $1,000 to the Wash
ington Opera School to aid in carry
ing forward its work in development
of young American singers, Edouard
Albion. general direotor,oft the Wash
ington Opera Company. announced
yesterday.
The gift was made without condi-
tions by Mr.. Fels, who has shown his
definite interest in the development
of music in America by contributions
to the upkeep of the Philadelphia
Symphony Orchestra. He Is a direc-
tor of the board of patrons who have
made development of the orchestra
possible.
"Mr. Fels' recognition of our work,
expressed in such a concrete manner,
is, Il confirmation of our belief that
America is awakening to the need
Of according her own artists proper
support and opportunity" Mr.. Albion
said in making public acknowledg-
ment of the gift.
Development Rapid.
"The development of the Washing
ton Opera Company from an artistic
standpoint has been rapid. The gen.
eral public. I believe. has little con-
ception of the immense difficulties
attendant on really great produc-
tion of tremendous musical work,
such as Nine. Butterfly which we
presented in December, or Tales of
Hoffman,. which will be given Mon
day night, January 21, at the Presi-
dent Theater. In addition, we will
produce early in March Carmen
which is recognized as one of the
greatest operas of the French school.
ITO carry out our program is no
easy undertaking. The difficulties are
at times almost heartbreaking, but such
things as the gift of Mr.. Fels are more
than pleasing because Of their convinc-
ing proof that our artistic worth is
recognized beyond the borders of WASH
ington. and the Washington Opera Com
pany is going steadily: forward to its
place in the sun as q national instita-
ton of which every American always
will be proud -,

"J-nstinted praise has been given by

"It is a bit disappointing. however
that with all the millions in material
wealth and the high cultural standards

the morning. The prison falls into
silence again, except for the tender,
girlish voice which only grows more
melancholy until little by little it dies
out.
The long expected party has ar
rived. They are with the men of the
"Katorga" in their cell. We are all
shaking with emotion, and strain our
eyesight thru the tiny door-window,
to get passing look at them. But all
we can see is the coarse figures of the
guards with guns in hand, and soon
the news is brought to us that we
have to pay for our singing With our
daily allowance of exercise in the pri-
son yard.
Only after we were seated in the
prisoners car which took us to the
Far North, did we learn that our
song-bird was Marie Karchenko, and
that she was shot at thru the window
by the guard. Fortunately he missed
her, and instead she was placed in
a solitary cell for five days. Even
tho none of the inmates of our cell
ever saw her her singing lodged so
deeply in our memories that we
thought of her as a divine being, and
all yearned for at least look at the
brave songstress. Old Pcholin be-
came quite melancholy after that
morning and wandered around lifeless
and meditative. He talked much less
than usual, and it was quite apparent
that Marie's singing had awakened in
his soul spring of new feelings from
which he could not free himself.

'da disciplinary barracks and were
waiting for the conveying parties that
were to take us each to our destina-
ton in Siberia, we received the news
that new party of prisoners had
come from Petrograd. 1t was late at
night, and while the rules in the bar
racks were not so rigid as in the Jail,
still we were not allowed to see them,
not even our chief, the "starosta,"
who enjoyed some privileges.
On the following morning we learned
that with this group of politicals
lad come also Marie. The news
spread a holiday-like feeling among
all Of us. Pcholin at once took a new
lease of life; his eyes sparkled youth
fully and he constantly smiled. The
men even began to tease him: "You
are in love, old man, in Lowell" Where
upon the poor fellow would turn Grim
son and would try to find occupation
for his eyes in different direction.
AS we all liked him extremely well,
we decided to elect him as "starosta,"
rank winch carried with it the free
dom Of going from cell to cell, and
which would incidentally give him the
chance to meet Marie frequently. We
carried our conspiracy thru in a neat
way. 1t was agreed to take the pre-
sent incumbent of the position into
our confidence and ask him to resign,
ostensibly on account of ill-health, to
place in nomination along with Pcho-
lin a number of candidates in order
that his suspicious might not be
aroused, and to elect the old man.
Pcholin at first refused the honor. But
we insisted and he had to become our
"starosta." His first visit, as we ex-
pected, was paid to the cell occupied

scorn. Once recall we had a heated
discussion over the question of nation
alism during which the Social Demo-
crat from Ekaterinoslav savagely at
tackled our "Bund," the militant or
ganization of Jewish workers, and
Pcholin, good, old soul that he was,
completely lost his temper and cried
out: "You are traitor, don't want
to know you" All the Russians in
our cell, particularly the workers from
the steel foundry, sided with him, and
it took several days before complete
good feeling was again restored in our
compartment.
That wakeful night, when we wait
ed for the Socialist deputies Of the
Second Duma, we all devoted to quiet
"reminiscences. Each told of his life
and work in the revolutionary move
ment, and Pcholin among others re-
counted some intimate pages of his
own life. We learned that his grand
mother was wonderful Jewish wo-
man, who filed the old manor-house
with legends of herself, and that these
traditions implanted in him a deep re-
gard for the Jews, which took on
strength and light from the informa-
ton | supplied about the life of the
nation. Our feelings on this subject
we're SO intensified in our cell that
night that even the Ekaterinoslav So
cial-Democrat admitted that he was
conscious of being Jew, at which
Pcholin was so gratified that he con-
stantly slapped him on the shoulder,
saying:-"Now, love you'll"

sleep, our murmured conversations
came to a halt. The desire of talk
was gone, and as we lay stretched out
on the cots listening to the subdued
breath of the Jail, each of us wanted
to be left alone with his thoughts. A
strip Of gray appeared thru the iron
bars, we recognized the snow upon
an adjacent roof; the skies gradually
paled into lighter hues, and the dull
silver of the morning star blending
with the primrose lights of the lamps
in the prison courtyard filled our cell
with fantastic shadows. The sorrows
of the Jail pressed heavier still upon
our hearts. A checked sigh wanders
across from one of the cots. From
afar, probably the other side Of the
building, a quiet sob reaches our
room, accompanied by changing of
chains. Will the morning never
come?
r Suddenly the heavy padlocks begin
to creak, and the prison is at once
filled with a great commotion. From
the cells where our comrades sentenced
to hard labor are confined, comes
the heavy sound of iron chains. Some
one calls out: Comrades, be ready!"
We hear a soft woman's voice. She
sings the familiar song of the revo-
luton, another one joins her, another
and another, but above all of them,
her voice rises high, sweet and reson-
ant Mems voices boom in reply,
commingling with the rapid talk" of
the chains of the "Katorga" men, but
that thrilling girlish voice surpasses
and covers them all!

Spanish Dictator
Will go to Direct
Moroccan Situation

MADRID, Spain. July 4.-Dictator
Primo de Rivera has decided to go
personally to Morocco to investigate
the serious situation that is develop
ing between the native tribesmen Of
the western zone and the Spanish
troops of occupatiA.
The Spaniards are being attacked
in the territory of Teutan but the gov
eminent has announced that rein
forcements will be sent in and a punt
tive drive will be pushed against the
natives. Gunboats will fire from the
seaboard and from the river.
The Moroccan problem is consid-
cred one of the most vital facing
Spain. At any rate it distracts atten-
ton from the pressing situation at

by Marie, and he came to us full of
exultation. "She is just as / had pic
tured her in my dreams!" he whispered
to me, and there seemed to be no
end to his happiness. That same day
we all met Marie, and thereafter she
became our pet. During the hour al
lotted for walking in the yard of the
barracks we would prefer to linger
around the doors of her cell rather
than amble around the court, and
more than once we even bribed the
guards when they showed irritation
at our affection. The warden Of
the prison, a liberal-minded man,
paid little attention to our irregular
tiles, and we were thrice happy over
it.
in the cells, and while the pale north
ern skies were still shimmering thru
the iron bars, Marie would sing, and
her songs would bring back to us that
day in Petrograd when we first heard
her voice. AS we listened to her, our
spirits would rise, the burden fall
from our hearts and we all wished
that. the minutes might be prolonged
into hours. Memories revived of the
homes we had left behind, the faces
Of friends near and dear would sud-
denly reappear from the shadows Of
bygone days, and the harsh present
would be forgotten for the time in
the sweetly painful recollections of
the past. How grateful we were to
Marie for the warm rays she was
shedding into our sad lives!
Finally the day came when our
party had to break up. Pcholin was
almost out of his mind that day. Out
Of our group of twenty only two went
with him to Archangelsk; the others
were being sent into the Far North,
and among us was Marie. My heart
grieved for the dear, old man; he fell
in so well with all of us; Marie too
had become attached to him, and now
he had to part with us and go alone
into the bleak unknown lands near
the White Sea. Would he ever find in
his lonely exile friendly soul that
would understand and love him as we
had?
That day Pcholin spent mostly with
Marie, and when the convoy came
after him he babe us farewell in a
few words. His eyes were full of
tears, and as he kissed each of us he
would murmur: "D0n't forget old
Pcholin, comrades, writei" When
he reached me he said with a
forced smile: "Well, my learned
Hebrew now we part!" He stopped
suddenly with choked voice and we
fell upon each others neck. In those
moments Pcholin became even dearer
to me. 1 cannot forget the look in
his eyes when he said to me in a
barely audible voice: please take
care of Marie"
The convoy started. We started to
sing, but Marie's voice was not to be
heard among ours Only after the
guards were outside of the gates, a
voice rang out Historically all over
the massive building of the prison:
Farewell, father, farewell, and don't
forget your daughteri"
