a THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE i " i I i FEBRUARY 23, 1919. YOUNG VIOLINIST GIVES THRILL TO HER HEARERS Miss Olga Eitner Plays at Benefit for Mount St. Mary's Seminary, As sisted by Hazel True. A violin recital was given Satur day evening at the Brandeis theater by Olga Eitner, assisted by Hazel True, pianist and the Mount St. Mary's Choral society, for the bene fit of the Building Fund for Mount St. Mary's Seminary, Sisters of Mercy. Miss Eitner is one of Omaha's younger violinists, but she made her first appearance here many years ago as a child prodigy, when she immediately won recognition for her, extraordinary talent. The last time we heard her was several years apo when she played the Mcndel sslion Concerto in Metropolitan hall, quite taking our breath with the broad beauty of her tone and the freedom of her interpretation. She has a big t.'ilcnt and a very musical temperament. and with proper training great things may be expected of her in the future. Miss Eitner draws a sure bow, and is capable of much brilliancy. She played with great care last eve ning, but hardly with the abandon to be expected from such an un usual talent. She opened her program last eve ning with the concerto Romantique, opus, 35 by Godard, playing it in its entirety, gaining a beautiful tone finality- in the Adagio and working up to a brilliant climax at the close. Andate Cantilena from the con certo in A minor, by Goltermann, which opened the second group was also most aceptable, hut Miss Eitner was at her best in the Gypsy Airs, by Sarasatc. Miss Eitner plays with a poise and assurance which is delightful. She was enthusiastically received by the audience and responded with numerous ' encores. Miss Hazel True at the piano, followed Miss Eitner excellently in her unobtru sive accompaniments. The Mount St. Mary's Choral Society proved to be a large society of attractive young girls, who con tributed two groups of songs to the program. There was a large audience pres ent and a neat sum should have been raised by the fund. H. M. R.

Dear Farents: Although I have written to you with as much regu larity as possible under the circum stances, I will now attempt the promised account of my trip with a little more attention to detail. As you know I arrived in New York City on November 1 and im mediately reported at the headquar ters of the American Red Cross. Later I secured accomodations at the Martha Washington hotel for the period of my stay in New York. In order to comply with govern ment restrictions and regulations, everything in connection with our sailing was kept a profound secret, and no inkling of date, ship or even of our destination was given us. No Long Trips. We were advised to take no long distance trims and in rpnnrr fre quently at headquarters. Every-Pp'aces such as tning in connection witn tne move ment of soldiers, army supplies, etc. was at this date in a very chaotic condition on account ot the near ... : - v , -Vnjf i;,: : . ;.

Off For Glasgow. At last for us the fateful day ar rived and on November 14 we sailed on the "Britain," a British ship with every officer on board a British sea man, for Glasgow, Scotland. The weather was perfect the en tire trip. The sea for mine. It rocked me to sleep at night and its scenery' one never tires of. The moon on the water at night was glorious. I already have many souvenirs. One day on the trip the wireless operator, whom we called Marconi and Sparks, gave me a copy in French of the day's news which he had just written down from the wireless. There was a piano on board and we had some wonderful concerts. We sailed up the River Clyde on a most beautiful November after noon, landing at Glasgow. We were in London three days and were quartered at the home of the Spanish ambassador to Eng land, across from Buckingham pal ace. I saw London Tower, West minster Abbey, The House of Parli ment, London Bridge, The Old Curiosity Shop, Lincoln's Inn Fields and many more wonderful Trafalgar Square Piccadilly Circus and Hyde Park. We attended Thanksgiving serv ices at Westminster Abbey and it was there, where I had my first realization of how the people suffer ed when the old bishop gave thanks for the American army and Presi dent Wilson. I was completely over come. Men and women with tears streaming down their faces and uni forms from all quarters of the globe, was more than I could stand, I love the English people; they are so cheerful and polite. There were thousands of wounded men on the streets, it seemed to me, but they consider themselves lucky if they have only lost an arm or a leg, unlucky when chin or eyes are gone. 1 he motto is, don t pity a dis abled man, get him a job. In spite of fog, soot, mud and jams, our stay in London was splendid. On November 29 we went to Southhampton, crossed the channel to La Havre and then to Paris. The pall of war seemed to hang heavier over the French capital. For break fast at a good hotel we had black coffee, brown bread and jam and I had to be provided with a bread card and a permit from the Police department while in Paris. Up till the time I was assigned to cuty saw neither milk, sugar, butter, meat, eggs or chocolate. While in Paris I saw the king and queen of Bel gium and if you can, imagine your daughter riding on the subways of Paris and walking through the king's gardens every day to headquarters.

CORPORATION i Organized' Competition by Small Packers as Proposed at Chicago Causes Interest Among Omaha Companies. Organized competition by inde pendent packers in foreign markets proposed at a Chicago meeting last week, has created some interest at the South Side market. Represen tatives of 60 small packers, under di rection of F. S. Snyder, head of the meat division of the United States food administration, met and laid plans for an "export corporation." The plan, which was given a tenta tive approval, provides for the or ganization of a company, in which each independent packer is ex pected to take $5,000 worth of stock. This organization is to find an ex port market for the products of all, but the goods sold will remain under the label of the individual packer. It is estimated that class A pack ers or packers doing a gross busi ness of less than $100,000,000 a year. have been doing approximately oo per cent of the meat export business during the war. South Side inde pendent packers do not come under the classification of "class A" pack ers, and as a result the South Side market will be affected less by this organization than markets where "class A" packers are located. The "big packers" on the South Side expect to feel little if any effect from the organization, it is said.

Cur tains were drawn, and while candles were burning Mrs. Rhyno was pre sented with a gift and the good wishes of all present. Negotiations With Huns as to Peace Treaty to Open Upon Return of Wilson to Paris Reduction of German Military and Naval Power to Impotency Is Part of Allied Plan Enemy Must Be Forced to Abolish Conscription Plan for Next Ten Years. By JAY JEROME WILLIAMS. (Staff Correspondent of Universal Service.) (Special Wlrelcn IMntrl).) Paris, Feb. 22. (By Radio via London.) Optimism reigns at the Quai d'Orsay today. One forecast has it that by the time President Wilson returns to France the negotia tions will have reached such a stage as to make possible the opening sessions with the German for signing the treaty proper. If this is the case it means that peace will be an ac complished fact by the middle of April or the first of May at the latest. Thereafter, however, the allies will still continue to work over many complex questions that have arisen since the conference opened here. The reason for the optimism tonight rests in the agreement on the final armistice terms, which will form the basis of a treaty of peace. In this connection, though these terms must not be confused with the terms given to the Germans at Treves by Marshal Foch two days ago, under the present arrange ments those terms operate continu ally in 72-hour stretches with the allies retaining the privilege of ter minating the agreement at any time after the conclusion of the first 72 hours. The conditions simply constitute a renewal of the old terms. Four Main Points. The main points of the new and final terms follow: 1 Reduction of the German navy to impotency to a greater degree than it has been re duced by the surrender of the fleet and submarines to the allies. 2 Reduction of the German army to 25 divisions not ex ceeding 25,000 each together with an added provision against its concentration on the west ern front. 3 Demolition of the Ger man fortifications on the west ern front. A Control of the German munitions, which will undoubt edly mean occupation of the larger German munitions cen ters by the allies. Abolish German Conscription. One proposition, which is at pres ent being considered, has to do with Germany's military future, and if sentiment crystallizes in favor of it, it will figure in the peace treaty. It is the argument which favors the abolition of conscription in Ger many for the next ten years. Should Germany lament and say that this would leave her at the mercy of het enemies, the allies answer will be that the league of na tions offers suftkent protection. Furthermore, such a provision in the peace treaty, it is reckoned here would have a good effect on France and Italy. Their populations would see the dissipation of the menace of an armed Germany and would gradually realize the futility of maintaining great standing armies themselves. By far the most important fea ture, though, is the belief that Ger many after ten years divorce from swashbuckling militarism would not consent to take up the burden of conscription for a great standing army. The new armistice terms explain the howl emitted by Dr. Erzberger at Treves. He was hot protesting against the continuation of the old conditions, but had an inkling of the new terms. At the session of the "big five" yesterday Italy rejected the plan of arbitrating the territorial question with Jugo-Slavia. Italy thinks the peace conference should decide all territorial claims. Serbia submitted her demand for a slice of Bulgaria on strategical grounds. ' There has been no discussion as yet of the future of German Aus tria. The American view inclines to a union of that people with Ger many on the principle of the self determination of peoples. South Side Brevities Federal Co-Operation With the Employment Bureaus is Assured George J. Kleffner, state director of labor, working under the direc tion and supervision of the United States depatment of labor, has re ceived information which encour ages him in the belief that the gov ernment will continue its work of co-operating with the states and municipalities in meeting the labor exigencies of this after-war-period. The following information was telegraphed to him on Saturday from the department of labor offices in Washington: The following letter defining the policy of the Department of Labor toward the question of Joint control of the Unites States employment service by the states and federal government has been sent liy Secretary Wilson to Representative Ed ward Keating of Colorado. "In submitting the estimate for the United States employment service and asking for the appropriation to enable the secretary of labor to continue and maintain system of labor exchanges and to co operate with states and municipalities In continuing and maintaining systems of la bor exchanges In order to advance oppor tunities for profitable employment of the wage earners of the United States includ- ng discharged soldiers, sailors and mar ines I felt that It was absolutely neces sary In order to keep Industrial unrest at millmum throughout the whole country and to facilitate the processes of read justment, to continue the employment ser vice as established and operated in this department In co-operation with the pub lic employment services in such states as have established them.

It has a national distribu tion, is patented in the United States and foreign countries. It is in everyday use by the general public, invariablv gives satisfaction and the sales possibilities are practically unlimited. It has exclusive features that take it out of competition, and the margin of profit is large. It is sold through big job bers and the elemdnt of credit risk is eliminated. The business is being conducted by experienced, capable and conservative men in all departments. , A national advertising campaign is now being planned that will create an enotmous demand and the article has the inherent merit that makes it a sure fire repeater.
