AUXILIARY LOOKS FORWARD
TO YEAR OF SERVICE FOR
VETERANS AND FOR NATION

Protection of peace, defense OF
freedom and aid of those who have
defended America in the past will be
the major purposes of the American
Legion Auxiliary during 1913, ac-
cording of Mrs. Cardigan Albertus,
president of Laurel unit of the Aux
iliary here.
Looking forward to activities of
the new year, Mrs. Albertus saw
three fields in which the influence
and endeavors of the Auxiliary's
one million women can most effec-
lively support the work of the
American Legion. She said:
"In the ability of the United
States to prevent aggression lies
the principal hope of the world for
enduring peace and for the success
Of the United Nations. At the very
time we have assumed this great
responsibility, we are permitting u
military strength to decline rapidly.
Unless we are to invite attack by
our weakness, we must adopt a real
security program based on universal
military training, and do so at once.
During 1913, the Auxiliary will work
with the Legion for the establish
ment of a system of military train
ing for all young men.
"With Communism to fasten its
slave rule on all of Europe and
Asia, and to undermine our own
free form of government, the Aux
iliary will continue with increased
energy its program of Americanism

Danielle Descours, French pianist
and newcomer to Washington. was
cordially welcomed last night ut her
local debut recital in the Phillips
Gallery. A graduate Of the Paris
Conseryatoire as pupil of Isidor
Philip, before the war began, she
was able to continue her public ap-
pearances from time to time In
Lyons, where she lived during the
occupation. That she has many
friends and admirers in this city
was shown by the size OF the audi
ence attending her first public ap-
pearance here.
Nine. Descours is the posseSsor of
abundant talent that has been well
equipped for expression and which
she presents, with authoritative ad-
dress. There is distinction in the
crisp clarity of her tone and in the
fluent and resilient quality OF her
finger technique. She has also q
sensitive comprehension of nuance
to which she can modulate her In
cisive touch from weighty sorority
to delicate tints with pleasing
flexibility. While having at COM
mand wide gamut OF coloring, she
makes use of it with refined taste
and with intelligent discrimination.
She placed tests on her musician
ship Immediately with the Bach
Prelude and Fugue in CT and
the Schumann Fantasy, Op. H."
The Gallo flavor that perme-
ated her performance of the
Bach gave it a. particular sheen
and 1t was balanced with nicely of
effect throughout. The exacting diff
ficulties Of the Fantasy" are not
beyond Nine. Descours' technical
possibilities and as far as these were
concerned, she showed herself equal
TO its requirements. Yet the char
acter of the work was too sharply
etching in black and white and with
little stressed put on Its romantic
undertone.
It's more dramatic measures were
not inpelled by innate fire but
were rather brusquely stated with
emphasis more on volume than
warmly infused tone. When q lyric
moment arrived, the exciting quail
ity that is resident in her forte
playing. was not retained in the re-
duced tone nor did she take adyan-
tage of these opportunities for sing
ing expression. The natural nerv-
BUSINESS OF a first appearance may
account for some slips In the OPEN
ing numbers and for some peculari-
ties in tempt. The latter were more
apparent in the Fantasy" which
seemed less well suited to her own
temperament.
Further listed on her program
were three posthumous Etudes by
Chopin, his "Barcarolle," Ravel's
"Noctuelles" and "Oiseaux Tristes"
and Debussy's Prelude" Sara
bande" and ''Toccata."

corridors here that Faris Ell Khoury,
the silver-haired Syrian, is the best
and most colorful chairman the
Security Council ever had.
| Inside the somber chamber the

enough informality to get things
done.
His policy is less talk and more
action; votes and not arguments.
He has gotten more work out of
the delegates in his three weeks in
the chair than in any previous
period in Council history. He has
accomplished this by exercising a
firm hand over the debate, with
constant appeals to members to be
brief.
II believe every delegate should
speak when he has something new
to say" Mr.. Ell Khoury declared,
but there is no reason to keep
repeating the same arguments over
and over again."

The wide discrepancy between the
Presidents estimate of congressional
savings and the amounts claimed
by the COP is accounted for in good
part in the item of reciSsions-can-
celation of unspent previous appro-
priations.
Senator Bridges uses figure of
$4,017 ,332, 900; Representative Hal
leck says it is s442, ,50e,o 900, and the
President says the actual saving in
expenditures was $153,000, 900, ex-
planning that the bulk was wartime
military and naval appropriations
which would never have been
spent"
/ In celebrating on the difference
between the 81 $40, 600 900 estimated
in the budget statement as gross
savings by Congress, and the actual
reduction of $528,000,000, Mr.. T'ru-
man said that "revisions and
amendments which I have found
necessary have added $638, 600, ,000."
This includes $32O,0o0,ooo for the
Greco Turkey aid program and ad-
ditional funds for food control
stockpiling of strategic materials,
and prospective deficiency approp-
riations that will take care of mill
tary and naval public works, among
other items.
In addition, the President said,
changes in timing and program
outlook" will necesSitate eXpendi-
lures of 1884 ,000, 900 more than Or
iginally contemplated.
In recasting the budget, the Pres1-
dent estimates now that receipts
will total $4l.7QD, 100000, which is
81 ,0OO, 600, 900 over the January cal
culation. Expenditures are figured
at $37, 200, ,O00, 600 instead of $37 ,500,-
900, 1000. Restoration of wartime ex-
else taxes and higher national in
come are responsible for the i'm
proved position.
The revised estimates are based
on a continuance of employment,
prices and incomes close to their
present levels throughout the fiscal
year." the President emphasizes.
AS of next June 80, the public debt
is estimated to be $253 900 900 900.
| In a statement accompanying the
revised budget. the President once
more defended his January eSti-
mates, which were under continuous
fire in Congress.
The fundamental fiscal policy
on which the budget was based has
proved sound" he said. Further
more, the searching review of the
