Violinist, Baritone
to Give Recital Here
: BY WALTER d. HICKMAN

Choristers consists Of both sacred
and secular music. In both, its
beauty Of tone and deep devotion
are equally apparent. They sing
three and four-part anthems of
composers, such as Schubert, Byrd,
Handel, Brahms and Hiller-and on
their secular program those famous
Elizabethan madrigals and part
songs.
On their last tour through Canada,
they were honored with an invita-
ton TO the Government House in
Ottawa, by the Governor-G General
and Lady Bessborough-and in
Washington, to the White House, by
an invitation from Mrs. Roosevelt.
This group sang in the cathedrals
and churches in New York, Boston,
Providence. Baltimore, Philadelphia
and washington. In many cases the
choir had the privilege Of joining
with their own choirs II worship
and praise.
1t was a convincing proof that the
age-oid tradition Of Anglican
Choral Music, famous throughout
the world, still charms, still delights
and still holds the audience in the
spell of its seraphic music.

JOSEF STALIN IS
 AFTER ENEMIES
Two Big Leaders and l7 Others Are Going on
 Trial To-day

Moscow, January 16 - (UP) - Josef Stalin's determination to crush the last vestige of opposi- tion to his regime was made evil dent today when Gregory Zino- viev, Leo Kamenev and IT other leaders faced trial for their lives before the dreaded military colle- gium of the supreme court. Since the assassination of Sergei kirov. Leningrad communist leader, on December l, 117 opponents of the government. including two women. have been executed for terrorism. But the men on trial today were of higher stamp. Several were once bolshevik leaders of world re- nown men who from boyhood fought side by side with the pres- ent leaders against czarism.
 Zinoviev and Kamenev were said to have confessed fully their par ticipatioa in counter revolutionary activities. Both are former mem- bers of the Trotsky opposition who recanted their views and were re- admitted to the communist party. Zinoviev was once head of the third internationale. Kamenev was high in the diplomatic service. One of their co-defendants. Evdokimov. was a close collaborator of Lenin and was at one time head of the Leningrad communist party.
 These men and five others were to have been tried before Q com mittee of the ministry of interior and sentenced to exile. But inves- tigation of their activities linked them so firmly with the Leningrad opposition which plotted Kirovs assa ssination that they were turned over to the military collegium. Their trials began yesterday at Leningrad.

LEAGUE WOULD
 FAVOR BOLIVIA

Geneva, Jan 16. - UP) - A League of Nations sub committee today that the arms embargo against Bolivia and Para quay be raised in Bolivias favor because Paraguay has not accept ed peace terms offered in settle ment of the Gran Chaco war. The subcommittee decided that the paraguayan reply to its demand for acceptance of peace terms constituted in fact refusal to ac- cept the recommendations. Bolivia has accepted the league peace plan which calls for an armistice and then for negotiations under inter- national auspices to confirm peace.
 Paraguay consistently has asked for delay, and meantime its armies in the Chaco have been driving desperately in an effort to reach the Bolivian frontier and thus win the war-apparently in the belief that it would be able to demand better peace terms.

 American consular authorities in the Strasbourg area expected ap- plication of anti-Nazis from the Saar for passport visas to the Uni ted States.
 Although organized Nazis were held in rigid discipline by their leaders in carrying out Adolf Hit ler's pledge that those who voted in Sundays plebiscite would not be persecuted, there were incidents of individual terrorism and all anti Nazis in the Saar were nervous.
 Members of the League of Na- tions plebiscite commission went to Geneva to report to the league council that there was no possible ground for protest against the neu- trality of the plebiscite, in which Saarlanders voted 9 to 1 for re- union with Germany after 15 years under Ieague rule.
