first scratch. Here was some
thing that would be enjoyed by
any Portuguese fortunate enough
to be present when they were
given away.
APPEAL TO SWEET TOOTH
The day came for distribution
and then trouble followed fast.
Just before the boys went out
with the presents it occurred
TO somebody that matches were
state monopoly here. There's
a tax on them - an important
source of state revenue. And
here was the Government of the
United States trying to makeS
friends and influence people by
breaking Portuguese law! Any
one caught with a book of free
matches is fineable to a maxi
mum of 400 escudos, or nearly
$40.
With much regret, the free
distribution of matches bearing
the picture of the bomber and
the F. D. r. speech was aban-
doned. Somebody in Washing
ton stopped whatever he was
doing and began to think again.
This time he was luckier.
Presently there arrived in
Lisbon another consignment -
larger one, weighing nearly
thirteen tons. 1t revealed no
headaches or other embarrass-
ment for the harassed govern
ment officials. The consignment
contained sticks of hard candy,
each wrapped in waxed paper
and printed with an American
design and the same portion of
the Presidents speech.
Everyone was happy. There
was no Portuguese law against
being caught with free stick
candy. Immediately distribution
began.

LISBON, March Is - In the
business Of propaganda, the
American NVernment offices
here were loss. They were
not doing much to show Portu-
gal that they represented pow
erful country at war.
In Portugal, abstemiousness in
such matters is considered the
worst taste, for the Portuguese
are considered Gods free pres
ent to any belligerents who have
a little extra propaganda to toss
around.
The Germans were distribut-
ing brightly-colored copies of
magazine called Signal (Sigal
in Portuguese), in addition to
all the other illustrated German
propaganda publications. Many
show windows were filled with
pictures and Swastikas. There
likewise was German CONNER
cial propaganda gadgets sold
at cut-throat prices in all Por-
tuguese shops.
The English had the Mundo
Grafica Magazine, printed in
Portuguese and showing British
effort. Also displays of British
tweeds, pullovers and Scotch
whiskey in the best shops.
American propaganda of that
period - soon after the United
States entered the war was
confined TO movies, most of
which are American here, and
to CONNER ci a propaganda.
American cars, razors, silk stock
ings, canned beer, are much ad-

much. They are available prin-

got paid every week. she was never
assigned TO a picture. and she
thought the hardest thing in the
world was her enforced idleness.

additional expressiveness in the Or
chestral quality and aware of the
opportunities the piano intervals
gave. Miss SWarthout played with
superb mastery and deep musical
consciousness. Her tone is excep-
tlonally mellow and pleasing and
her technique has sweep and fire
quickly responsive to intelligent Gi-
rection. The volume of applause
measured the enthusiasm which
greeted her two performances.
cambridge Crisis american Epic,
1920, given its premiere yesterday,
was the first of the native works
performed. 1t is a pleasure to sa-
lutte Mr.. CrlSt as an author, not
only OF q, work that has succeeded
IN incorporating in music the early
American spirit Of which we are so
proud, but of doing so in reverend
and poetic fashion.
There is no question of Mr.. Crisis
vision or sentiment. for it is part OF
every measure. With consummate
skill he has voiced the sea and its
y
less motion, rising at moments to
angry power, the firm faith of the
early Voyagers on it. No finer story
OF the journey Of the Mayfower and
the storm and stress of the cross
ing has ever been written or Of the
unconquerable spirit and faith of
the Pilgrim fathers.
Although the work is highly
melodic. the treatment is dignified
and made with thorough under
standing of the orchestra possibili-
ties. The range of color Is extensive
and greatly effective in its contrasts.
The introduction Of religious
theme by the first violin and it's
subsequent growth to a powerful
climax and the remarkable tonal de-
scription of the sea are outstanding
in their beauty, while the entire
work has depth of genuine feeling
so seldom reached by todays COM
posers. Mr.. Crist has contributed
gloriously to American symphonic
literature and it is hoped that an
other hearing of the work will soon
be possible.
Miss Coles 'Divertimento" is
what its name implies, being
clever and skillfully written work
with original thematic material. 1t
lies purely on the surface, making
no other attempt than to intrigue
by its modern tone and fluent ex-
preston. The Toccata and the
Fantasia are brilliant bits of writing
in which the piano and orchestra
are in lively conversation, but the
composer is less successful when in
more lyric vein as in the Intermezzo.
The charming measures assigned to
the solo violin in the third move
ment are the best of such moods.
Also heard for the first time in
this city was dIndy's symphony on
a French mountain air." which like
Miss Coles "Divertimento," places
the piano among the orchestral in
struments. There is spaciousness
to the line of the orchestra's Sec
tions which is regal and full toned.
The pianos treatment is contrasted
with or merged into it for chiaro-
scuro effect. yet it is given its own
sparkling or emotional speech at
several noteworthy moments. The
orchestra played it with distinctive
style and clarity, while Miss Swarth-
outs part was brilliantly sustained.
The program opened with Berliozs
"Carnaval Roman" in which the
brass section of the orchestra re-
ceived special recognition for its ex-
cellent performance. The three
