Young Artists Heard
In First of Series

| AiC 4lo SOllSClb VI tllC AOllCS
Series being given at Phillips Gallery
on succeeding Mondays under the
auspices of the National Music
League of New York City took place
yesterday morning. The same pro-
gram and the same artists were
presented in the afternoon at Pierce
Hall in what is known as the PM
Series, also to followe the morning
concerts for eight Mondays.
The objective of these concerts
under the management of the league
is to launch young artists on a pro-
fessional career after they have been
selected through additions by a jury
of well-known musicians. The first
of these young artists to be presented
here on yesterdays programs were
William Gephart, baritone; Bertha
Melnik, pianist, and the New Man.
haitian String Quartet. Mr.. Gep-
hart already has come before the
public eye in no less appearances
than at the Bach Festival at Bethle-
hem, the Worcester festival and the
annual festival at the Governors
Palace in Williamsburg.
Perhaps because Of his greater ex-
perience and certainly because of
his talent, Mr.. Gephart bore the
major part of yesterdays programs.
1t is evident that the programs are
to be formed in chronological order,
beginning with that Of the 18th CEN
fury. Yesterdays program featured
the beginnings of instrumental mu-
sic, the earliest forms of the opera
and the rise of the art song.
The later groups were sung by
Mr.. Gephart and consisted of an
aria from PERKS "Euridice" and
Monteverdis "Orfeo," with string
quartet and piano accompaniment;
three 10th century songs, Agricola's
Zine feste Burg" Senfl's "Es jagt
Elm Jaeger geschwinde" and "Stolt-
zer's "Toenig Elm Herr" with quar-
tet accompaniment, and three Eliza
bethan airs. Rosseter's when
Laura Smiles" Dowland's IT Saw NY

Love Will Find Out the Way" as
sisted by the quartet and piano. Mr..
Gephart's voice is a beautiful one.
excellently trained, and he sings
with taste. The lovely old melodies
were given freshness and vigor in
his understanding Interpretation of
them.
The New Manhattan String Quar-
tet is a group of gifted players who
already have acquired a strong en-
semble. The blended tone is rich
and full and admirably suited to
the three numbers they gave as their
solo contribution. The "Ricercar a
4 voci' by Palestrina, Gabrieli's
Due Canzoni a sonar a quattro
voci" and the anonymous "Pavane
ct Gaillarde" printed in 1871 in
Louvain, Belgium, are priceless
works in which the close union Of
the harmonies brings perfect inter-
weaving of the instruments. Miss
Melnik's soil included Bulls Clique"
Farnaby's "A Dream" and Byrd's
variations on THE Carman's
Whistle" taken from the Fitzwilliam
virginia. Book of 1890. She has a
fine technique but one hardly suited
to the nuances of this old music.
The program was an interesting
one both from the character of this
little known music and from the tai
ent of those presenting it, and war
ranted larger attendance. The
suggestion might be made to these
young musicians starting on profess
sional careers that they perform
more from memory. Both Miss
Meanik and M. 0ephart would have

NORTH AFRICA:
Libya Bound

When the British launched the
biggest battle" Of Egypt, military
experts knew that the objective was
to crush the Africa Corps of Nazi
General Rommel and drive the Axis
forces deep into Libya, there to
crush and destroy it. While it was
easy to arrive at this fact it was a
more difficult task to determine
whether or not this represented the
much sought Second Front"
While the first reports of this new
offensive by the British and other
United Nations forces revealed that
the Germans were being showed
back by the quick thrusts of air
and land power nobody was under
estimating the tremendous task
ahead.
To nullify the German Africa
Corps and to open more the Medi-
terranean sea lanes is a big job.
But it appeared that the British at
tack had been well prepared and
long planned. 1t had been made
possible only because huge quanti-
ties of supplies had been poured into
Egypt from America. These came
through by way of the big U. S. base
in Eritrea, on the Red sea.
U. S. planes were cooperating
with the British but no large num-
bers Of American ground troops
were reported in this action. And it
was in the air that the United Nations
first showed their strongest power.
For once Ronme1 did not rule the
skies.
This advantage at the outset al
lowed heavy British forces of desert
troops and tank units to penetrate
gaps in the land mine and barbed
wire defenses set up by the Germans
along the Ell Alamein line.
Fighting was described as the
heaviest type" as the British en-
p1oyed the Nazi tactic of striking
hard and fast to lash out in several
sectors at the same time and then
surround and annihilate isolated
units of the enemy.

ping. The skull, known academi-
cally as Sinanthropus Pekinensis,
was reported taken from it's case at
Union Medical college, a Rockefel-
ler-endowed institution. The skull,
complete with jaws, was hailed as
one of the greatest modern archeo-
logical discoveries, when it was ex-
cavated at Peiping early in the pres
ent century.
TAXES: Although Canadian in
come taxes are considerably great
err than those of the United States,
the dominion taxpayer will have
greater amount of the tax returned
to him following the war, according
to tax study.
NAVY: At a recent press confer
ence, Secretary of the Navy Knox
disclosed that the total strength of
the naval services is approximately
100000. Personnel of the navy to-
tails 100000, the marines 10000
and the coast guard about 10000.

Hello, Eleanor"
This was the greeting the Presi-
dents wife was given as she hus-
tied about the British isles on her
visits to American troops stationed
there. She had left Buckingham pal
ace and the royalty in it behind and
started her tour of inspection at the
Washington club, main gathering
place for u. S. servicemen on leave
in London.
Here she told the soldiers and
sailors that she had already learned
they would like to have thicker
socks. She promised to see what
she could do about it. Then the
men told her that they would like
some kind of a speed-up in the de-
livery of mail from home. This too,
would get her attention, said the
First Lady.

RUSSIA:
Relief Army

At points the battle line in Stain
grad had been driven to within 900
yards of the Volga as the struggle
for that vital city reached its climax.
While the Soviet reports told of beat
ing off constant Nazi attacks, these
same communicates admitted that
the Germans gained important
streets and buildings in other Sec
tons. of the stricken city.
To the northwest, the Soviet "re-
lief army" battled forward. After
one advance this force found 5000
German troops dead and dying in
trenches and dugouts. In one in
habited locality 900 Rumanians were
killed and many captured. Soviet
dispatches indicated that the Ger
mans had begun to "dig i'm for the
long Russian winter and these fresh
attacks by the Russians were GUST
ing them from carefully prepared
positions.
Germany's final, about drive for
the city of Stalingrad itself was just
part of the news from Russia, how
ever, for in the Mozdok area of the
Caucasus the Nazi advance had been
slowed to standstill; on the Black
sea Russian marines were throwing
back strong Nazi drive southeast
of Novorossisk; and on the Voronezh
sector of the upper Don two Ger
man platoons were slaughtered try
ing to cross water barrier. (Be-
lieved to be the Don river.)

Raj BOMBERS:
Over Italy

Long-range Raj bombers struck
$50 miles across France and Switzer-
land to ravage sections of northern
Italy and to smash the port of Genoa
in the heaviest raids of the war on
Hitler's henchmen.
Targets included the great Genoa
Milan-Turin industrial triangle, site
of Italy's principal aircraft and ship
building works. The day before,
Raj planes left Genoa flaming I'M
der two-ton "block buster" bombs.
The British air ministry announced
that many large fires were set at
Genoa, and the raid drew the almost
unheard of admission from Rome
radio that the bombers caused heavy
damage. While the bombers also
attacked other points, they concen-
trated their incendiaries and heavy
explosives on Genoa, Italy's chief
port.
The reason for the heaviest attack
on Genoa was obvious. That port
city is vital supply terminal for
Field Marshal Erwin Rommel in At
RIGA. 1t is also the site of aircraft
parts and munition works.
The raid was the 26th on Italy
from British bases and was the
sixth on Genoa. Turin had been
raided 10 times previously, while
other past targets were Milan and
it's surrounding industrial area, and
Port Marghera.

TANK, PLANE COAL:
Emphasis Shifted

Disclosing that the years nurner-
ical production for planes and tanks
would not be met, President Roose-
welt attributed the situation to shift
in emphasis to heavier, harder-hit-
ting models dictated by battle ex-
perience.
In his message to congress last
January, the President said he had
ordered steps taken to increase our
production rate of airplanes so rap
idly that in this year, 1912, we shall
produce 10000 planes"
This, he explained, contemplated
not the production of $4,000 planes
but the attainment during the year

The ominous word ''overdue"
brought news to the world that Capt.
Eddie Rickenbacker and the crew of
a heavy military plane were missing
in a Pacific flight between Oahu
and another unspecifed island.
Rickenbacker, ace of the first
World war with 81 enemy planes and
four balloons to his credit, was in
the Pacific on an aerial inspection
tour for Lieut.. Gen. III. H. Arnold,
army air force commander. His
visit was military secret until the
war department announced he was
missing.
Searchers continued to hope that
Rickenbacker and the seven army
officers and enlisted men accom-
panying him would be found floating
on life RATS that the plane carried.
Aviators in the Pacific war have
been picked up from similar RATS
weeks after their planes have gone
down.

turned from England, where he

tary of war of army air force per-

HONG KONG:
Docks Bombed

Hong Kong's comparatively peace
full days came to a sudden end as
United States bombers blasted the
Japanese-occupied city in the first
Allied raid on the British crown col
ony since the Japs occupied it last
Christmas day.
The U. S. planes un1oaded tons Of
explosives on the great Kowloon
dock area, shooting down 10 enemy
fighters and probably destroying
five others. One American bomber
failed to return to its base and one
fighter was reported to have made
forced landing in Chinese territory.
Shortly before the Hong Kong raid,
Brig. Gen. Claire l.. Chennault's
China air task force smashed a
vast Japanese operated coal mining
area around Linsi, in northeast
China.
Not single plane was lost in
this, one of the longest bombing
raids of the war. The bombers de-
stroyed the huge power plant, which
was the main target, and put the
Linsi mine and five others in the
Kailan area out of commission.

rate.
He told his press conference that
the changeover from the M-3 to the
MA tank meant that the numerical
goal (of $4,000 tanks) would not be
reached but that the full amount of
steel and materials called for in
the initial program would still be
used in the manufacture of fighting
machines through charging the unit
size.

to make an appreciable difference
regarding essential travel. In 1914
''we ought to begin to furnish tires

News of full scale fighting on
Guadalcanal island came to an ap-
prehensive America as U. S. soldiers

by laying down a heavy artillery
barrage and then using tanks and
troops against the Americans de-

fighting, United States forces re-
pulsed five tank attacks with artil-
