Individually each of the seven
artists heard last evening gave a
magnificent performance. Lucrezia
Bori was neve rim finer voice
her soprano tones were like velvet

as a caress. Giovanni Martinelli
proved very definitely why he is
the premier tenor of the Metro
politan Opera Company and Pablo
Casals and his cello made such
music as one hears only when the
greatest of artists performs with
his skilful fingers, his imaginative

But ! defy any casual listener
to give a distinct impression of
either of them-the way they were
presented, one after the other in
rapid succession during the Victor

Augusta Lenska, contralto were
substituted for Araldo Mindi ard
Cyrene Van Gordon respectively,
the cast chorus and orchestra gave
a very much worth while performs

voice and sang the part of Leonora
for all there was in it and Richard
Bonelli made a magnificent Count
de Luna. The orchestra, directed
by Henry G. Weber, was quite aS
loud and blanketing in places as it
is the Chicago company's or
chestral habit to lie.
Elsewhere and otherwise the
broadcast program of the evening
was quite satisfactory. The Bur.

day by Joseph Nachman, president of
Nine. Rose. Inc, Of 1928 Connecticut
avenue. whose store was robbed Of
more than $4,000 in fur coats and
dresses yesterday morning or Monday
night. Nachman said that more than
40 minutes elapsed between the time
he reported the robbery and the ar.
rival OF investigators.
When Nachman arrived at the store
Yesterday morning he found that
thieves had forced rear window,
broken inside metal doors and .es-
capped with load of dresses and
coats. He called police headquarters
about $50, he said. and called again
about Is minutes later. After waiting
about 40 minutes a policeman from
the third precinct arrived and he was
followed by headquarters detectives.
Nachman said.
Nachman called he was given the
third precinct instead of detective
headquarters by mistake.
Check-up of missing apparel dis.
closed that 129 dresses and coats. 25
fur coats. skins and 13 fur scarfs
were stolen. An insurance of $40 900
was carried on the stock.

reported to be here from the South.
Maj Hesse had warned precinct cap-
tains to be on the lookout for them
and yesterday issued a special order
directing them to give special atten.
ton to all stores where furs are sold.

Reserve Corps Chaplain Criti-

The quarters of the enlisted per

Quotation From Report.
DR.. Macfarland's report based on
an extensive tour to selected camps
in the 1st, Cd and Sd Corps Areas,
read in part as follows:
There is one matter. perhaps out
side the proper scope of a report from
me, but am moved to mention it.
"In some posts the quarters pro.
vided for the enlisted men, and espec-
tally for the non-commissioned off,
GERS and enlisted personnel who are
married, and, indeed, in many cases
those for the married officers, are
disgraceful, and provision should i'm.
mediately be made by Congress or
whoever is responsible for it for those
men and their faithful wives and their
children"
Wants Provision for Chapels.
DIR. Macfarland also expressed the
hope that a chapel Of religious wor.
ship may be built at every post not
now equipped, charging that many
places of worship are disgrace to the
church and Army.
There are 81 chaplains in the Navy
and 125 in the Army, it was reported
at the meeting. Both branches of
the service are "uGdermanned" in
chapiains, however. and an increas Sc
of from one-third to one-half was
advocated.
