the aristocracy Of France into a
fiery and indefatigable champion
of the people, which forced him
into the ranks of a band Of
strolling players, brought him to
Paris, made his swordsmanship

COMPOSERS TAKE
POSSESSION OF
CAPITAL
BY WILLIAM MOORE.

With a fanfare Of trumpets and
q conglomeration of melody and
dissonance, an farmy of be- e
composers invaded the National
Capital today.
Probably never before in the
history of the city have so many
distinguished writer's of musical
p3thooks assembled here at one
time and with one set purpose
in ln;nd-to protest against the
plan of the national radio mag
mates to broadcast the brain chill
dren of these composers without
compensation.
Tonight, at the National Press
club, some twenty-five of the
leading American composers will
entertain the Washington journal
lists with excerpts from their own
compositions.
Among these who will par
participate in the concert at the
Press Club win be John Philip
ticipate in the concert at the
bert, Jerome Kern, Harry Won
Tilzer, Silyio Helm, Gene Buck.
Ray Hubbel, Otto Harbach, Con
Conrad, Obey Speaks, Charles K.

pOseTs at o'clock, and at about
O'Clock the concert an i'm.
