l 'Nancy Wynne Clutts of Various
tain McCall Was Aivardcd a D. S. HI. Before His
Death Mi-caremc Dance for Day Nursery
"PVID you hear that the distinguished serv--J
lco medal was awarded' to Captain
Howard McCall Just before ho wits killed?.
I am bo glad for Ills family. Tho word
came Just last week. You, know Captain
McCall was killed in action last July, and
I think all Philadelphia mourned for him.
Ho was such a splendid man and a won
derful soldier, and so many of the men
who woro Under hlnl have .expressed their
admiration and affection for him. Ho was
tho.son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph B. McCall,
of the Wellington, and his sister Is Lenore
and his brother Is Lieutenant Joseph B.
McCall, who married Louie Davis. Tho
D. S. M. Is not easy to win, and this proves
nioro than ever that he was all that his
friends claim.
IHEAIt there's to be a Ml-careme dance
this year, on Wednesday, April 2, at
tho Beltevuo, In tho ballroom. And before
jthe dancing' thero will be an Illustrated
"lecture by Dr. George Earle Ilalguel on
"Personal Glimpses of England, France
and Italy," ihowlng our men In the field.
These pictures are some that have been
taken by Burton Holmes, and I have hoard
they are well worth seeing." The affair is
in aid of the Joy Settlement Day Nursery,
and tho executive committee which Is In
charge of it includes Mrs. Joseph M. Dohan,
Mrs. Walter S. Mclnness, Mrs. Thomas E.
Coale, Mrs. Fielding O. Lewis, Mrs. James
Largo and Miss Marguerite Weston. Tho
r board of managers consists of Mr. Thomas
E. Coale, president; Mr. G. A. Pfelffer, vlco
president; Mr. H. H. Barton, Jr., second
vlco president; Miss Eslo Macintosh, sec
retary, and Miss Weston, treasurer. The
Joy Day Nursery, you know, not only
takes care of hundreds of babies during
tho year while their mothers arc at work,
'but it also instiucts tho mother how to
clothe the children properly, the proper food
to give them and how to better their living
conditions ir. all sorts of ways.
WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS Is getting
very, very popular these days, It seems
to me. And tho greatest number of Flilla
delphians are down thero and going down.
Tho Harry McKcans, who have been at
Ashevllle In North'Carollna for most of the
winter, went to White Sulphur last week,
' and the Powell Evanses and their daughter
Anita, who, by tho way, will debut next
year, aro down there. Anita und her father
upending much of their time in tho saddle.
Anita rides wonderfully well and Is a per
fect wiz on her horse.
Charlotto Brown is down there, too.
Charlotte has not been looking so awfully
well. Her brother Henry Houston's death
and the absence overseas of her fiance, Ned
Law, have made tho winter very hard for
her; but lately she is looking much better,
nnd with the return of Captain Low I
guess the wedding bells will soon be ring
ing. Mrs. Jeanes and Margaretta aro still
at tho Springs; they've been there for sev
eral weeks new, and as I tolu you once, aro
devoted horsewomen, and Margaretta has
been playing a (lot of golf, too, I hear. Mrs.
Georgo Willing, Jr., and her mother, Mrs.
Joshua Ladd Howell, have been down there,
.too, but Mrs. AVilllng is crazy about her
gardens and had to come home- early to
seo about tho planting. She and Mrs.
Howell gave a tea at one of the hotels just
beforo she left. The J. Barton Townsends
and the F. Corlies Morgans are going
down to Wi ite Sulphur some time soon
for about ten days, and the Rodman Grls
corns, Mr. and Mrs. Howard Elll.on, the
Frederick Rosengartens and lots of others
are planning to go down "In the near fu
ture" or Btop there on their way up from
Florida or the Carolines.
ALL these days of summer weather make
-you turn hatwards, don't they? I told
you about the wife who would not buy her
hat without her husband because "he lias
such decided views about my hats," she ex
plained. Well, now I'll tell you about one
who thought she would buy a hat without
her husband's taste being consulted,' and
so sh'e did. When F came homo she
showed it to-him with great gusto. He
enthused. Oh, yes, it was a pretty hat;
but wasn't it a little quiet? It was a sort
of gray, you know, and liad ono of those
two-btory shaving brush fancy ornaments
which was shaded from gray to purple, but
not; any one color that you might notice.
When Mrs. F went off to see nbout
something In tho house husband, who has
an artistic soul, snitched the hat, and
opening a bright red tube of paint which
should have been mixed with oil to tone
tnwr.the color, he held the stiff ends of
fjament together and rubbed the
nt on them; then he dabbed both
fry supports to the fancy,
' brilliant touch. Then was
tth, for after all Mrs. F
t at all. In fact oh, horrl-
fsh mieht hato it and be
f and demand another hat at
onco.
10 country was sayea. ,ne
liked it, of
faked it extremely well, and
when I saw her in it on Saturday I'd havo
sworn that it was right from Paris with
at least a fifty-dollar tag on It.

SOLDIERS IN GERMANY
ANXIOUS TO RETURN
Pliilailelpliiiin Takes Exception to
Writer in Overseas Paper Staling
Men Are Contented
There Is at least ono American holdier in
Germany who wants to get home and doesn't
care who knows it.
He Is Corporal Walter N". Thompson, 51st
Company, Fifth U. S Marines. He writes
from Segendorf, Germany, under (lite of Feb
ruary 27, und encloses a clipping from tho
Stars and Strips which aroused his wratli
and tho wrath of his friends among tho
"leathernecks."
The clipping Is of an article to the effect
that "American holdlers aro not all yearning
to discard knlikl."
Paragraphs of tho clipping which Corporal
Thompson has underscored are worth quot
ing. Tho writer opines thnt neither the aver
age American ofllce nor private is anxious to
"bo shunted immediately out of the hervice."
"Why should they be?" afcks the writer In
the Stars and Stripes. "Take the case of a
prhate. He is clothed, he is fed, he is elab
orately and well cared for, and then, In
addition, he has, minus any Insurance money
he may pay, his thirty dollars per month,
with his extra ten per cent for oversea ser
vice. Thoso thirty dollars plus vhat are
they? Pocket money, pocket money and
nothing else."
Writes Corporal Thompson:
"Speaking for myself, and for many of
my comrades In the Second Division, I ennnot
help expressing my indignation against such
a column as appeared In our overseas paper,
the Stars and Stripes.
"It Is said tho Germans are the best In
the world at spreading piopaganda, but if
this is not propaganda then tell me what Is.
"So as an old employe of the Curtis Pub
lishing Company, I am asking you to publish
this In the best paper In Philadelphia.
"Being a Philadelphia boy myself, I wish
the people of my own town to know how we
feel about this matter.
"Can you Imagine anone who have gone
through this war not wanting to get home
as soon as passible?
"The capfalrj. the writer quotes In the
Stars and Stripes, docs not disclose his
name. No doubt It's a wise moe."

Doe Not Oppose League Idea, hut Wants
Monroe Doctrine Kiiipiiiil Krtifliriucil
To tho Htlltor of thv Hvenlmi I'uVUr I.cilijrt :
Sir My attention has just been called to
the I'dltorlal In jour great paper of March
12, concerning mse!f, In which ou Indicate
that my bung "lienit and s.oul In faor of
a league xif nations" Is a change of heart
since tho signing of what you arc pleased to
call tho "Lodge round robin."
I hope it may not be unwelcome to ou to
allow me to correct the Inference which ou
hae thus lnndertently made.
There was never at any time anj thing but
a cordial desire for a league of nations In
the hearts of the great majority nf the sign
ers of the so-called "round robin." The pur
poso was not to hinder or destroy a league
of nations, but. on the other hand; was in
tended to advance and make posithlu a.
league of nations which would be acceptable
to the American people. It was the only op
portunity to Indicate clearly that certain fea
tures of the proposed constitution of the
league of nations were Impossible and re
quired amendment Since then, eveiy man
who has spoken with any degiee of author
ity upon tho question has frankly admitted
the necessity of nmendment. Mi Taft has'
to declared himself ; Mr. Bryan suggests a
number of it.il amendments; Mr Lowell, in
ills debato with Senator Lodge, definitely
commits himself to amendments, and this
was precisely the attitude of the Senate.
The leasons that require a league of na
tions that in its operation may lessen the
"chances ot future war aie many and great.
It Is equally important, as wo said in
connection with The Hague convention in
19C7, to again clearly and in unmistakable
terms piovlde In any covenant to which we
aie a party th.it nothing therein shall "be
construed to Imply a lellnquisluneut by the
United Htates of its traditional attitude to
ward purely American questions."
This is not an amendment either technical
In character or captious In spirit. It Is abso
lutely fundamental .
Should Mexico, which now owns lower Cali
fornia, with Its potential naval bases and Its
wide stietch of territory, sell to Japan (and
It must be admitted that Mexixco would
rather like the money and Japan would
lather like the territory) what would follow
under the proposed league of nations as It
now stands?
Section ten of the proposed constitution
of the league would lequire evciy one of the
high contracting parties to p-esere as
against external aggression tho territorial
integrity of Japan In its newly acquired pos
session. Japan has as much right to buy from
Mexico lower California as we had to buy
the Islands from 'Denmark, except for the
Monroe Doctrine, which stands In the way,
and under which, this nation In any such
contemplated purchase would mako it clear
to both Mexico (the endor) and Japan (the
endee) that under our traditional policy
we could not permit Japan to acquire terri
tory upon this hemisphere.
For a hundred years, the woiid has
acquiesced in this traditional principle which
has been Interwoven In our history, and we
cannot and will not depart from It now. The
Kngllsh press are publishing, not as a mat
ter of speculation, but as a statement of
fact, articles, of which the following from
the Yorkshire Post, published at Leeds, is an
example :
"Mr. Wilson has definitely nbandoned
the Monroe Doctrine. It Is admitted that
unless the Mnroe Doctrine is finally
abandoned by the United States, the for
mation of a league of nations is Impos
sible. It would be rldtculous to attempt
It"
The need, therefore, of writing into the
proposed constitution, not by mere Infer
ence or interllneary Interpretation, but by a
positive ringing declaration and reaffirma
tion our undoubted position with tegard to
the Monroe Doctrine Is vitally essential.
Bellee me, with great respect.
Very truly yours,
SELDKX P SPLWClIIt.

From personal observation over a period of

Next was the seldom-plaved serenade of
Beethoven for flute, violin and viola, and the
program ended with a sextet for flute am
strings by Ileinrich Ilofmnnn.
The organization dlkplajed a perfection of
ensemble that is almost unbelievable when
the short time that it has been In existence
Is taken Into consideration. The tone qual
ity was good throughout, the balance almost
perfect, while the rhythms wero clearly de
llned but not overarcentuated. nnd tho tempi
were correct and In perfect keeping with
tile moods of the various movements The
sextet showed unmistakably the results of
many long and hard rehearsals.
In the Volkman serenade Mr. de Gomez,
in the obllgato cello part, pla.ved with great
beauty of tone, elegance of phrasing and a
niumcinnly and sjmp.ithetlc Interpretation
lie was deservedly recalled several times
Jit tho cjose of the number. The other parts,
which are more than mere accompaniment,
weie discreetly nnd skillfully pl.ived by
Messrs. Cook. Zenker. Groverand Torello. Tho
IJeethovcn Trio, or serenade, as the composer
unties II, was plajed by Mr Maquarre. Mr
Cook and Mr Grover Larking a bass part,
the work Is delightful In Its charm and In
tin- gram and lightness of lis texture. It
was beautifully plaved by all three, and In
cidental!) the unwonted prominence of the
viola part showed Mr Grover lo be an un
usually tine plajcr, with an excellent tone,
good technique anil accurate rhythmic
feeling.
The Hoffman Sexlct proved to be a fine
composition Written In strict form, musl
el.inly In Its woi kmnnshlp, with an abun
dance of attractive if not highly original
thematic material. lhc work will bear re
peating The scherzo, while somewhat Men
delshohiiish. is especially good, being one of
the most effective movements of the concert
Like- all the other numbers. It was Ilnelj
pla.ved and received with everv evidence of
enjovment bj the large audience.
The success of the concert should estab
lish the Maquarre Sextet among the per
manent nig.inlzntlous of (he city, and tho
Clumber Music Association Is to be congrat
ulated for having bi ought out so excellent
an ensemble body. Tho sextet Is strong in
every pait, and In none moio than In tho
contrabass. Anton Torello again demon
strated thnt be is one of the greatest mas
ters of tho Instrument in the countiy. IPs
tone was beautifully rich, but soft, and ho
did what few bas players can do, namely.
Pl'iy in tile real chamber music stvle, with
faultless rhythm and a high degree "of musi
cal Intelligence and feeling.
