BY FRANK H. sIMoNDs.

In a recent public statement of
Senator Henri de Jouvenel, the view
of France toward the League of Ma
tions and French estimates of the
value of recent Geneva decisions are
set forth with q clarity which de.
serves American as we'll as European
attention. France, says the French
Senator in effect, will have to increase
or reduce her armed strength pre-
cisely as the member states Of the
League accept, reject or modify the
provisions Of the protocol recently
wish to see the armies Of France re-
duced, let them sign the protocol
Now what this means Is fairly
patent. France has for five years,
indeed since the morrow of the armiS-
tice, sought to obtain security by
some form of understanding between
the nations which were called against
Germany during the war. She did
not originally see in the League of
Nations such security and accordingly
she went outside the league and OBJ
tanned the famous treaty of insur-
ance, which fell with the refusal Of
the American Senate to ratify 1t.
Thereupon France sought first a
definite alliance with Great Britain
and secondly separate alliances with
a number of the European nations
treaties of peace and were fearful OF
alter attempts by Germany and her
former allies to modify these treaties
by war. France did not get the Brit
ish alliance, but she did obtain what
she was after with the various Euro
pean states, notably Belgium, Poland
and the countries Of the little entente.
Herrist Chanxed Attitude.
With the coming Of Herriot, how
ever, the French government decided
to seek security within the league, to
adopt the league and to translate the
covenant into a guarantee OF Sc
curity. Adopting at Geneva the ap-
pealing motto of arbitration, securi-
ty and disarmament, the French dele
cation went to work to obtain the
second while agreeing to the 1irst
and insisting that the last could not
be touched until the first and second
were satisfactorily arranged.
The protocol adopted at Geneva not
only pledges all member nations Of
the league to arbitration, but it puts
them under every form of moral con-
straint to come to the aid of any
member nation attacked wantonly by
another country, whether a member
of the league or not. If the pro-
tocol is adopted by the governments
of the member nations as 1t was
sixned at Geneva, then no member
nation honorably can decline to sup
port any country which, being
member of, the league and being the
victim of q deliberate aggression,
calls for help.
This means, in fact, that If Ger
many should presently attack France
there would be no honorable escape
for Britain from coming to the aid of
France, II the British by ratification
of this protocol in Parliament accept
the obligation, then the French are
prepared, as De Jouvenel indicates,
to take up the matter Of disarma-
,ment. they are willing. to consider re-

SplenddAddihon To Birrniingha1n's s
 Musical Circles

X A splendid addition to Birmingham musical contingent is Mrs. Mabel Pow -ers Taylor who is opening a charm ing studio in Cable building. Mrs. Taylor brings with her a young son who enters the Rirmingham-S Southern and who by the way is student of the flute. They are from Greensboro, in that part of the state where cul- ture, good breeding, such as the old south knows, abound and where the Powers family is one of the best rep resentatives of the old school" A life time student of the piano with the finishing touch which teaching success fully for several years gives summer courses under the great masters to keep up with modern ideals and ideas in pedagogy in music. A year with Arthur Newstead, head teacher of the piano department at the Damrocsh school in New York, and having studied with the celebrated coach the late William H. Sherwood, and normal work under Ernest Hutchinson, it is no wonder Mrs. Taylor is being so cordially re- ceived in Birmingham musical world. When asked what age she prefers in st pupii iOI thC IiaiO. ohc Sdlu, 1Hut is the hardest question you could ask me. like the budding and unfolding of the child mind in music and when you give thought to grown girl the in. telligent appreciation and understand ing of your idea is a most interesting thing. Indeed, I believe that I am just lover of teaching and every age has it's charm. Teaching is a wonderful pro- fession and I just love it." Mrs. Fay Tor is splendid accompanist also and with the rapidly growing appreciation of music here and the very rapidly growing population it is no wonder that she chose this as a place to live and follow her profession. After spending last year in New York;" Mrs. Taylor said. T felt that I must either settle in the big metropolis of the north or the little metropolis of the south and so here I am." Mrs. Taylor will be with Mrs. Willis in the San Jose apartments this winter.

not been a Birmingham citizen as long as many others he has made many friends and is highly appreciated by the musical world. His quartette en- gade for the season 1924-25 leading large chorus consists of Mrs. T. l.. Bis sell, whose lovely soprano is well known, Mrs. P. J. Smith, a contralto of dramatic type splendidly trained MT. John McGill- and Br. Brown Bates, whose natural baritone voice has been greatly improved by training under masters here and in New York city.
 The Highlands Methodist, whose di rector and organist, Mir. Ferdinand Dunkley, has since his coming to Bir- mingham been so important factor in the musical life in various musical endeavors, has engaged Mrs. Strickland, one of the best sopranos in the city; Owen Gillespie, tenor; Miss Miller, contralto, and Mrs. Vernon Kimbrough, the last named being a young singer of unusual voice. MT. Kimbrough, is pupil of Mir. Dunkley, coming here two years ago as student at Birmingham-Southern from Colum- biana. There is no singer with greater promise.
 A church which has since its organi- zation only few years ago always presented an interesting choir is the Walker Memorial,-the church out at West End which is one of the many institutions who had the support of the late lamented Mir. and Mrs. R. $. Munger. The choir consists of Mrs. Robert Newman, Organist and direc- Ire I0Io beautiful voice and lovely personality make her a splendid musical asset. Mrs. Alex Wade, contralto, Mir. Byrd Haley, tenor and MT. Otto Hodges, bass.
 The First Church of Science, accord ing to custom has no choir but they have that splendid musician, singer and leader in musical life, Mrs. Ruth Chandler. as leader and soloist, and Mrs. John D. Turner, also one of the best musicians in Birmingham, accom- panist.
 A choir matching in experience, bril- hance and musicianship that of any Of the larger cities is that of the South Side Baptist, it's personel being Mir. McGill, director; Mrs. w. A. Logan, organist; Miss Stravosvky, soprano Mrs. l.. B. King, contralto. Mrs. Lo- gan, the director and organist, is not only a thorough musician but her civic interest always being demonstrated in musical matters which pertain to the city's welfare make her a popular wo- men as well as musician.

of her. choir.
 One of the most beautiful of the smaller churches in the city and one whose membership is of the most de- voted and unselfish is that of St. An drews on the corner of Eleventh ave- nue and Twelfth street, south. The architecture both outward and the in- side finish-the lovely shrubbery sur rounding the building, the beautiful windows and lighting-the soft tones, all are beautiful. The choir is also one of the best in the city. Mrs. Charles D. Armstrong, the director and organist, is musician of the first rank. Mrs. George Randall (Ethelyn Hayes) has delightful clear soprano voice. Mrs. Richard NJ. Johnston, whom the director was most fortunate in securing for the seontralto, has voice of unusual quality. She has splendid range from the mezzo to fine contralto of de- cided power. She has a delightful per sonalitys also. Having studied under Damn Petersen, one of the best singing teachers Birmingham ever had-later with Sarah Mallam, finishing under one of the best of New York teachers, Mrs. Johnston is destined to be one of the leaders in the musical life of her adopted city. She will sing a solo at the morning service at St. Andrews to- day. Other members of the choir are and MT. Franklin Holmes, whose tenor voice is, one of the truest and purest Birmingham has had.
 Still another of the first churches or ganized was the First Presbyterian. Its membership still contains a number of the pioneers and many of their children
