"Is the commanding officer

asked.

The Junior officer did as he was
told, and just as he was putting
them on the table the battalion
commander arrived. He shook
hands with his visitor and then
introduced him to the medico as
the Prince of Wales.
THE free and easy comrade-
- ship of American officers and
men was exactly to his liking.
Any number of United States
soldiers who served and trained
alongside the British still tell
amusing stories of their encoun-
tiers with the slender lad in the
uniform of British captain.
One tale has it that an Ameri-
can colonel inspecting a United
States area near the front, en-
countered lone British officer on

I'D like to ask just who you
are and what you are doing here?"
the colonel inquired rather sar-
castically.

sticking out his hand. He had

The Prince, "a, when the war
ended, felt the same as did the

Ladies of the Press

TINE most exclusive press con-
l. ference in Washington is the
one held in the White House each
Monday morning at II. 1t is with
Mrs. Roosevelt and no newsmen
are admitted-only newswomen.
HAS your Christmas mail diff
fered from last year?"
will you accept the invitation
to go to Texas?'
Are you buying some new
chairs for the Red Room?"
do you know the King of
England?"
These questions pop from
group of 40 neWswomen sitting
before the First Lady in the
West Hall, second floor.
Mrs. Roosevelt sits on sofa,
with her secretary, Mrs. Malvina
Thompson Schneider, taking notes
beside het. The newswomen sit
in se'nicircle on chairs COW
cred with slips of henna-and-
white linen.
The women gather for the con-
ference on the first floor, after
passing inspection by Head Usher
Raymond D. Muir. The usher
sends word to the First Lady
that they are assembled. They
mount the stairs and turn left
to the end of the West Hall.
Mrs. Roosevelt talks informally,
rapidly. She will answer almost
any question, barring only mat
tiers of state. Sometimes she asks
that her comments be "off the

Music
BY JAMES THRASHER

NATIONAL Music Week
IN seems to be occupying
the weeks musical spotlight
without much competition.
But, if you can find it on your
dials, the program by Frank
Black and the NBC String
Symphony promises to be of
interest. The program is
broadcast by WIZ and aff1li-
ated stations at 1880.
AS an observance of the ma
tional musical activities, DR..
Black is to feature the world
premiere of a new American
work, Mortimer Wilson'S Con-
certo Crosse for string quartet
and string orchestra. This work
is another indication that the
form, if not the spirit, of
classicism is gaining Roadway,
for the concerto crosse is a
form almost forgotten since
the days of Corelli and Han
del, until some OF our con-
temporaries revived it.
The concert is to open with
the Bachrich arrangement
for string orchestra of Bach's
E Major Violin Sonata. The
solo part is taken by the en-
tire first violin section, which,
by the way, is no mean feat OF
mass virtuosity."
Other items are to be two
waltzes by Dvorak, and the
Suite in E Minor for string
orchestra by Frank Bridge,
eminent English composer of
chamber music.
DR. BLACK is to appear
- again tomorrow at noon,
directing a string orchestral
accompaniment for a perform
ance of Bach's great Con-
certo in d Minor Tor Two
violins, played by two New
York business men in the
Music Is My Hobby" series.
The broadcast is to be carried
on the WEAF network.
The two nonprofessional
musicians to be heard are
Abram Mendin, attorney, and
Louis J. Fink, life insurance
expert. MIR. Mendin may be
remembered as the attorney
who defended the famous Eli,
Eli copyright infringement
case some years ago. He
caused quite sensation by
bringing his violin into court
and playing it as part of his
argument.
