The copyright will remain in the
name of the author. RCA Victor
will have the option of recording the
winning compositions by the Cham
Der Music Guild String Quartet.
The Chamber Music Guild, a non-
profit organization, believes the sue
cess of its activities is due to the
growing interest of the public in
chamber music, as well as to the en-
couragement of the foreign diplo-
matte corps, whose embassies and
legations frequently have been the
scene of the guilds concerts. The
announcement from the guild says:
Our awards for the best compo-
sitions from Latin America and
from the United States and Canada
are offered in the spirit of interna-
tional neighborliness as we'll as in
the interest of good music. We
welcome this opportunity to foster
new interest on hemisphere basis
in chamber music, a type to which
great composers of all periods have
turned. It seems fitting that
Washington should be the center of
this new interest. We hope that
the prizes which are offered here
will awaken and inspire the wealth
of creative talent that exists among
the free peoples of the new world"
Charles O'Connell, musical Hdirec-
tor OF RCA Victor, says: "It is a
happy privilege for us to participate
In this contest. Chamber music has
always been source of deep inter-
est to RCA Victor. During the past
few years we have sensed an eager
ness on the part of the public to
know more of this delightful form
of music. We, too, hope that COM
posers will find inspiration in this
opportunity"
The guilds directors are Anna Del
Pulgar de Burke, Marcel Ancher and
Mrs. Marcel Ancher. The members
OF the board of advisors of the
guild are Mrs. Edwin M. Watson,
president; Mrs. Stanley Woodward,
vice president; Mrs. Foster Adams,
secretary; Mrs. James Pomeroy

of 1916 the nations fighting against
that group included Great Britain,
France, Russia, Belgium, Serbia,
Italy, Rumania, Portugal, Japan,
Montenegro and San Marino.
Hard fighting was carried on by
the nations which helped Germany
but the outside world looked on Ger
many as the chief force on that
side, as, indeed, it was. Germany
swept through Belgium and part of
Northern France, and at the same
time held off the soldiers of the
Russian Gar.
In 1917, other nations joined the
Allies in their fight against Ger
many. The chief of these was the
United States, which declared war
on April 6, 1917. Later in the same
year.. Germany's enemies were in
creased by the entry of Panama,
Cuba, Greece, Siam, Liberia, China
and Brazil, all on the side of the
Allies. BY that time the conflict
had become, indeed, worldwide
war.
The leading generals on the side
of the Allies were Haig of Great
Britain, Foch of France and Per-
shing Of the United States. Those
leaders, and others as well, share
the credit for at last bringing sue
cess for the cause Of the Allies.

hundreds Of bombs. Immediately
word came that all young girls were
to leave for America on the next
boat. Quickly I packed my bar.
but we could not take much. IN
q few, hours I was ready to sail.
-Four ships were to sail together.
but we had to wait until evening.
sThe few minutes before sailed
were very sad, as didn't expect to
see my parents again. I kissed my
mother and father and little brother,
and then walked up the gangplank.
I had a very nice room, as our ship
was a luxury liner.
After we had gone . little way
one of the other ships was sunk.
and still later another one was sunk.
That left our vessel and another
one-and then, early In the morn
ing. the other one was sunk. We
were left entirely alone.
Soon after that q torpedo hit
our ship. It hit the upper deck and
the two lower decks, and landed In
the hospital ward. killing every one

Her uncle was supposed TO meet
her in Chicago, but, unfortunately
for her. and fortunately for u. he
failed to meet her. 50 the next week
she STAYED at our home In Western

She had not seen snow since she
was years old. and a It was March

thought 1t was most beautiful

Within q week We had contacted
her uncle and ws took her down to
see him. In few hours ahe was
on the train headed for California,
where she would live with her aunt.
We heard no more from Narida
until about year later, when, one
evening the telephone rang. I an

over the phone, saying she lived
only q few blocks from u. She told
us the good news that her parents
and brother had arrived safely, and
now they were all together.
