Hearing arguments both for and
against the proposed formation of the
Commissioners advisory council, the
Rhode Island Avenue Citizens Asso-

Sherwood Presbyterian Church.
passed a resolution fayoring the or
ganiZation.
The matter was put up to the as
Sociation by Jesse c. Suter, president
of the Federation of Citizens Asso-
Scfations, who said the people of
Washington now have an opportunity
for which they have long striven-
that of a voice in their civic affairs
even though an unofficial voice. G.
w. Ayres of the West End Citizens
Association spoke against the plan
"A vote resulted in almost unanimous
passage of the resolution.
Mr.. Suter said he would never be
satisfied until the District of Colum-
bia gets full representation in both
houses of Congress and in the cleo
toral college, but added that while
the present plan is not perfect, il
does meet the present needs. and will
serve as a further contact between
the commissioners and the people
We must stop blowing off steam
which gets us nowhere, and get
ahead Mr.. Suter said.
Mr.. Ayres told the association that
1.-THE council, in his opinion, would
usurp the powers of the Federation
OF Citizens Associations and in time
would result in dissolution of that
body.
John l. Knopp characterized the
plan as only one for passing Of re-
sponsibility by the Commissioners to
another body"
Chester r. Smith, president of the
association, said steps have been
Taken to rearrange house numbers

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK, March 26.--The human
voice as an instrument of music is
fast being pushed into the back,
ground by new methods of orchestra
tion, and may soon have to be sur
rendered outright. This is the belief
of A. III. Thorold of the chair of
music in history at Munich and
Frankfort universities, who arrived
yesterday on the Deutschland. I
1T is impossible for the human
voice to rise above the music of the
modern orchestra, and unless the
composers go back to the old meth
DDS of orchestration, as developed
by Bach, Mozart and Beethoven, the
opera singer must either adopt the
speaking voice or fall into panto-
mime and let the orchestra do the
interpreting of the words" he said.

been drilling navy for one of the
governments of China, to the Antarc-
tic Lieut.. Comdr. William A. Horton
of the British navy predicted here
that inside of a year Russians op-

These Russians, called White Rus

the South Pole, January II, 1922.
white Russian troops were and
are lighting in the Chinese wars,
he said, but that is merely a blind.
Chinese wars are not dangerous.
Russian military men of the old
regime know that, and take advan
tage of the opportunity to discipline
their troops. Not only in China, but
on all sides of the Union of Social
istic Soviet Republics the thing Is
going on. A change is bound to
come in Russia, because conditions
there are very bad"
