Concert Wins
Large Crowd
Grand Ballroom
Of Willard Hotel
Filled to Capacity
By ELENA DE SAYN.

The 89th anniversary concert OF
the Washington Saengerbund, con-
Quoted by Herbert Herzfeld, given
yesterday afternoon in conjunction
with the Baltimore Arion Society
under Theodore Hemberger, and the
ladies' chorus of the Washington
Saengerbund, under DR.. Kurt Het-
Eel, filled the grand ballroom of the
Willard Hotel to capacity. Pre-
sented in an impressive and digni-
fled manner, the choruses exhibited
professional earnestness and disci-
pline, which in spite of non-pro-
fessional late beginning. Is minutes
after the scheduled hour, COM
manded respect for the musical
value of the performance.
The vocal greeting by the singers,
followed by a short address by Paul
Otterbach, local president, led into
the first numbers of the program
presented by the Washington Chap
ter of the society under Mr.. Herr
field. OF these. Der Tag des Her
ren," by Kreutzer; Brahms I'm
Stiller Nacht" and a folksong, "An
dem Bruennele," were sung a ca
pella. Minute attention was paid
to dynamics, sforzando effects and
to the inner voices giving a rounded
out performance.
Tenor Voices Outstanding.
''In Stiller Nacht" and in the in
troductory singers greeting the
splendid tenor voices. heard above
the others in one or two instances,
deserve special mention. Felix
Guenther's "Erntelied," with piano
accompaniment played by Elsa
Petersen. proved an effective selec-
ton in a modern vein, while a
Bohemian folksong with bells and
occasional whistles brought demands
for an encore.
1t was with interest that one an.
ticipated the appearance of the
Baltimore Arion Society, larger ir
numbers and noted for the mellow.
ness of its tone. Especially pleas.
ing was Sonnet's "Matrosengrab.
The two remaining songs, Wits
Gut Nacht ihr Blumen" ane
Juengels "Dorfidylle, offering littl,
contrast in character, seemed {
trifle monotonous. Cordially ap'
plauded, the singers repeated tn,
last verse by way of an encore.

would spoil what was left of a rotten

answer was no, loud almost to the

the same.

for the human species: That in

Pass with two locomotives hufhng
and putting as locomotives have to
huff and puff nowhere else in the
100000 square and peaceful miles
of the United States. Nice conquest
of space, that.
Moment of greatest admiration for
the confidence of Santa Fe employees
on the Chief: That In which we
were assured that lateness of l
hour and Is minutes at La Junta
Colo, didn't mean thing; that 1t
would all be made up by morning,

night.
Subjects of greatest curiosity:
Where those roads, going nowhere

Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona

has not tried to capture in the ballet
the wild grace of a piece of up
rooted sage brush dancing in the

Whether there is anywhere a more

nee our lives upon the bloody battle
fields of Europe, Asia or elsewhere
Any one who reads the daily press
must realize the necessity of solv-
ing our domestic problems. The
same patriotism and the same sac
rifice which our people have always
displayed In war should prevail
now. These are critical times. The
task before us calls upon our utmost
strength and greatest wisdom. We
must have the strength to hold fast
to the convictions and professions
Of democracy; we must have the
wisdom to find a solution OF our
problems. Voices will call out,
seductive and enhancing, appeal
ing to our traditions and our loyal
ties, but at the same time seeking
to lead us to servitude.
Other voices speak with the force
OF hate and prejudice, appealing to
the Illustrations that economic
misery and want produce. These
voices are a challenge to us. They
are challenge that can be met in
only one way, by making the free
traditions of our country meaning
full to all of our people, thus firmly
securing their loyalties to our free
institutions.
For my part I am prepared to
join forces with all those liberty
loving people who look forward to
the realization of the American
ideals Of industrial and political
democracy.
Those things can be accomplished
within the framework of our Ameri-
can form of government.

fered from unemployment. For a
decade this problem has continued
unsolved and comparatively un-
touched. Any one seeking work has
the right to work and that right is
fundamental. They must be given
the opportunity to earn for them
selves and their families a decent
livelihood. Relief is no substitute
for job. 1t tends to weaken the
moral fiber of our people. Relief
may be and is necessary during pc
riods OF economic depression, but
what is more necessary Is real work
for those who seek it.
Managed Economy.
We in this country have pursued a
policy of restricting production and
maintaining prices to protect profits.
We have been unable to make the
tremendous scientific discoveries of
our age serve the welfare of the
people. We have managed our
economy so that it either produces
too much or too little.
1t is time to say that upon the
wisdom and the experience of the
American people we can, if we will,
manage our economic life so that In
the place of restriction we have ex-
pansion Of production; in the place
Of artificial prices we have a con-
slant lowering of the cost of living.
in the place of recurrent shutdowns
and unemployment we have steady
level of production and jobs; in the
place Of 100000 unemployed we
have busy able-bodied population,
while our youth are educated and
our aged retired to security.
No one solution is available at the
present time. nor IS any one group
or organization in position to
recommend specific program to be
readily accepted by all others. Each
OF us must recognize our personal
responsibility. Labor may contend
that the present economic disorders
can be traced to business, and busi-
ness may charge that the RESPONSE
bility for our present condition rests
upon labor or government. But the
people of this country are not so
much interested in what individual
or group is responsible as they are
in finding solution which will re-
store prosperity and put people to
work. The workingmen want Jobs,
not Government doles. The farmers
want fair price for their goods, not
handouts from the Treasury. And
capital wants a fair return upon
its investments.
Task Calls for Wisdom.
We can accomplish our goal if
the leaders of industry, labor, farm
ers and politics will get together,
put aside their own selfish interest,
and hammer out solution in the
interest, not of the few, but of the
many.
Labor and capital must realize
that if you preserve democracy you
preserve everything. They should
and must ask themselves if the
price Of some temporary advantage
to either group which tends to de-
stroy democracy is not too high.
We are not called upon to sacri-
