Toward Professional Stage
The Civic Dance Concerts, according
to the announcement Of this years
series, "are designed to offer the dance-
loving public the best work of WASH
ington dancers and to give the many
skilled and talented dancers in the
Nations Capital the opportunity to
present their work on modern stage.
with effective decor and lighting, pro-
fessional music and large audience"
Testimony that this opportunity 10
worth while has come from dancers who
have appeared in the civic concerts
and then found work on the professional
stage They agree that having danced
before sizable audiences before makes
them better equipped than those dancers
who have come to the professional stage
from dance schools and who have
danced before only on the stages Of
small recital halls.
The concerts also give opportunity
for choreographers, who are to the bal
let what composers are to music and
who cannot exercise their skill in this
intricate art without group of dancers
with which to work, and a stage on
which to see the results of their work,
Dancers here look forward to a day
when Washington may have an audito-
rum with a well-equipped stage whers
ballet may be presented with the stage
setting and lighting it should have
Perhaps, if those hopes are realized, the
Capital will have a national ballet
And perhaps, as the orchestra strikes
up the music and the curtain rises. there
will be added to the magic of the theatel
the enjoyment of knowing that some Of
those on the other side of the footnghts
are old acquaintances.

Project Gains
Sponsorship
Of District
Government
By Francis P. Douglas

The Senate adjourned early so Its
members could go to the theater to see
Fanny Elssler dance. When the Presi-
dent received the lovely Viennese bal
lerina at the White House the members
of the cabint decided they had business
there, too; all were present. That was
back in 1840.
That triumphant visit gave rise to the
saying in the theater it was not Colum-
bus who discovered America, it was
Fanny Elssler.
II she discovered America, Washing
ton discovered the dance on her visit.
1t may be that the interest aroused then
can be traced down the years to the
present. Now, it is estimated, there are
more than SO schools teaching dancing
here, with more than 1000 pupils. That
estimate is said to be conservative.
Civic Programs
What is more, in addition to the
schools teaching ballroom dancing,
there are several groups with exacting
standards presenting ballets and grad
stage. Cooperating with these groups
is the District of Columbia Recreation
Department which has arranged a
series of ballet programs, known as the
Civic Dance Concerts. Successful last
year, the programs are now in their
second season.
In addition to supporting these ballet
groups the Nations Capital provides the
audiences without which the large ballet
companies could not appear here. Wash
ington has its share Of those fanatics
known as "balletomanes," who will argue
over the ballet styles ,of Alexandra Dan
ilova and Alicia Markova, who will
deplore the absence of the lovely Ia
tiana Riabouchinska from ballets in this
country, and who discuss learnedly
the choreography of Massine. And just
as vehement are the supporters of the
three great figures of the modern dance
in America, Doris Humphrey, Charles
Weidman and Martha Graham
Interest Has Waxed and Waned
The enthusiasm for the dance has not
always been what it is now in the
years since Fanny Elssler's visit. 1t has
waxed and waned, and in the periods
when appreciation for good dancing was
scarce, the traditions have been carried
on by teachers of sound background and
the ability to impart their knowledge to
others, whether it was the social dance
of the ballroom or the more spectacular
examples of the art.
Foremost of these teachers Is Miss
Minnie E. Hawke, who taught succeeding
generations of Washingtonians to dance.
She started at the age of 13, back in
1887. Her early pupils, when they grew
up, sent their children to Miss Hawke.
Her school was an institution, as were
her spring festivals with their ballets,
and when she had completed so years
as a teacher her friends and former
pupils joined in celebrating the ami
versary. Miss Hawke still teaches In
her home.
At least two of her pupils went on to

Bailey Tells Kiwanis

Howard p. Bailey, assistant to the
managing editor of The Star, yes
terday told members Of the Alex
andria Kiwanis Club the only way
to insure liberty and freedom in
the United States is to "have faith
in your newspapers"
Speaking at a luncheon meeting
dedicated to National Newspaper
Week, Mr.. Bailey declared, this
country is in definite need of a
spiritual revival to get away from
the world spirit of animosity."
Complimenting newspapers gen.
orally for patriotic conduct during
the war, he said there were no vio-
lations Of confidence which would
have jeopardized national security
Mr.. Bailey criticized the Federal
Government system of news hand
outs which often keeps real facts
from being dug out by enterprising
newsmen. The handouts, he said,
are "never uncomplimentary to bu-
reaucrats."
Mr.. Bailey was introduced by G.

Archbishop on Trial
Insists on Right 10
Fight for Christianity
BY ths A.seeiatsd prsss

ZAGREB, Yugoslayia. Oct. A.
Archbishop Alojzijc Stepinac, on
trial possibly for his life. waved his
arms and shook his finger at the
court in an impassioned speech yes
terday and maintained "as the Com
munists fight for materialistic
theory. so have we the right to fight
for Christianity"
The 48-year-old head Of the
Roman Catholic church In Yugo-
slavia, accused Of crimes against
the people" and collaborating with
the terrorist Ustachi, was inter-
rupted many times during his So
minute self-defense by people in
the audience shouting jeering
answers.
Once when he said II have honor
ably carried out by duties" there
was q roar of laughter and some of
the audience shouted, Eyes, your
duty to the Ustachi."
At another time Archbishop
Stepinac declared when you ask for
loyalty from us then we want our
rights, Also" and the crowd booed
and shouted, "You don't deserve
them"
Once the prosecutor interrupted
when Archbishop Stepinac objected
that the government was still
teaching that man descended from
monkeys"
The prosecutor interjected that
"you and the reactionaries of the
world say that, and Darwin never
said it,"
Bitterly the archbishop upbraided
the government Of Marshal Tito for
terrorizing the church, declaring
mot a Catholic bishop or priest is
safe for his life, day or night"
,"You talk about freedom of religion
in Yugoslavia today and imply that
it is greater than anywhere else, /"
he said scornfully, "and I tell you
that a great number Of priests have
been killed here. You could have
interned them and you did not have
to kill them. The people will never
forgive you for that. and there was
never a bigger scandal than that
anywhere else in the world"

Democracy in Reich

Congress and the people are re-
sponsible for sending young men
Of 1s and 10 to interpret democ-
racy to the German people. Arthur
Hays Sulzberger, publisher of the
New York Times, today told gradu-
ates Of the SD session of the FBI
National Academy In the Depart
mental Auditorium here.
These boys" Mr.. Sulzberger said,
"haye not learned the true mean
ling OF democracy themselves. They
are sent abroad in such small num-
bers, due to the stupidity Of our
Congress and ourselves and not OF
our War Department, that it is i'm
possible to hold them in barracks
for any considerable period to give
them the strength Of discipline or
properly indoctrinate them before
they meet with corruption OF every
kind"
Secretary of the Treasury Snyder,
also addressing the graduates, said
"that If the Nation is to be pro-
tected against the modern forces Of
crime, we must establish defense in
depth, and must attack from depth.
Must Throw Book" at Criminals.
I'VE must be prepared to throw
the book at the confirmed criminal" "
he continued, bringing to bear
against him every law, local, State
or Federal, that promises most
quickly and effectively to halt his
depredations."
Eighty-nine police officers from 80
States, Alaska. Mexico and Puerto
Rica were presented diplomas by
James p. McCranery, assistant to
the Attorney General.
Mr.. Sulzberger told the officers
"the press Is on your side in an
effort to enforce the law"
"Crime and criminals cannot
flourish long in the full light Of pub
licity," he said. II am convinced
that news is q major law enforce
ment weapon. - It has a profound
influence for good upon society by
providing the social cement Of COM
mon knowledge, without which the
unit of a modern community could
not be preserved"
Deplores Arrests Of Young People.
After referring to a Staggering
increase in crime in the decade fol-
lowing the first war;" Mr.. Sulzberger
said 1t is particularly alarming to
note that in the first half of 1916.
IS per cent Of all arrests involved
persons less than Is years Of age"
1.-THE school, the home, the church,
the amuSements-the whole social
environment that constitutes the
first lines of defense needs to be
examined and strengthened" Mr..
Sulzberger said.
Mr.. Sulzberger told Of visiting oc-
cupation troops In Germany last
July and asserted "the inadequacy
of the processes Of upbringing and
training has been reflected in the
difficulties of our troops abroad"

Russia Accuses U. s.,
Britain Of Violating
Big Four Agreements
BY the Assoeioisd Press

PARIS, Oct. 4.-Russia In an
cry words today accused the
United States and Britain of
violating their Big Four agree
ments by voting for an Austria
lian amendment to set up an
international commission for
supervision of Italian repara-
tions payments.
The Italian Economic Commission
OF the Peace Conference, which still
must fix the amount Italy is to pay
neighboring Allied states, passed
the amendment, II to 8, with
France, China and the Slavic states
opposed.
Under the amendment, an inter-
national body consisting of the Big
-Four and countries receiving repara-
tions would supervise payments
other than those to Russia. These
would 60 to Yugoslavia, Albania
Greece, Ethiopia and Poland.
Russian Is Angered.
A. A. Arutiunian of the Soviet
Union, visibly angered, declared that
the United States and Britain had
violated an agreement to section
of the Big Four Foreign Ministers
treaty draft.
American Delegate Willard Thorp
and British spokesman Glenvil Hall
both protested that the amendment
was a new article and not a change
In an agreed on portion of the draft.
The adopted text, which now goes
before the plenary session, would
create IAN italian reparations COM
mission to coordinate and super
wise" the collection of non-Russian
reparations payments by Italy. If it
is approved by the full conference
and by the four-power Council of
Foreign Ministers, the new commits
sion will meet shortly after the
treaty is signed. It's costs of opera
tion will be charged to the italian
government.
Bulgarian Report Adopted.
Opposition of Russia and the other
Slav states to general report on all
military propositions in the Bull
garian treaty kept the military COM
mission in record-breaking all
night session which broke up at Z
am. The commission, pressing to
meet tomorrow's deadline for all
commission deliberations, adopted
the general report by a 15-to-6 vote
along the usual East West lines.
The commission cleared up num-
Der of details of the Bulgarian treaty
and some annexes and amendments
were adopted, but the general report
proposal caused a long dispute be-
tween RusSia's Maj. Gen. N. v.
Slavin and Britain's A. v. Alexander.
Gen. Slavin argued for recording
separate minority report along
with the majority decisions. Mr..
Alexander held that on any measure
which received a two-thirds major
ity, no such report should be filed.
Gen. Slavin finally acceded with a
remark that he would conform "to
the rules of procedure, but not to
the rulings of Mr.. Alexander"
