Clelan shall be impeached, censured or let off without any action. Mc Clelan will not resign, it is said, but Mill fight to the finish.

Toscanini Led Concert Under Shell Fire 1 ' ii r -- White Preparing For Showdown in Democratic Party tion of Resigning Chair manship at Present Time. The above picture shows the cele brated conductor, Arturo Toscanini, at the Italian front in August, 1917, at the head of the military band he had becen conducting the night be fore on Monte Sauto, under a storm of shot and shell from the Austrian batteries. "The silver medal for valor was pinned on the breast of this daring individual, a civilian without a uni form, by General Capcllo, comman der of the Second army," raid.an eye witness. The feat by which he won this unusual honor was boht strange and noble. One of our most' famous musicians, the most celebrated or chestral conductor in the world, was at the; front, having been entrusted with the arrangement ot concerts for the soldiers. "When he heard that Monte Santo had been captured, he begged and secured permission to ascend the mountain. He climbed it towards evening, while the enemy was show-, ering it with a truly hellish bom bardment. Strange to say, the gieat master, among the rocks of the peak, happened to come across a divisional band there established, sheltering it self as well as was possible, in ex pectation of being ordered to a less dangerous post. "The appearance of the great mu sician had the same effect on the bandsmen that the appearance of a great general would have made on picked troops. They crowded en thusiastically around hirn and the master took professional command of them, as though by instinct. Then, under the bombardment of the plat eau of Monte Santo there began, in the moonlight, the most extraordi nary concert in. the world. The 'Marcia Realc.' 'Garibaldi's Hymn,' 'Mamcli's Hymn' folowed in quick succession, energetically conducted by the great musician, to an accom paniment of explosions, thunder and the screaming and whistling of shells. Musicians Shelled. "Cheers and hurrahs rose from the valley below. The eiemy concen trated their fire on the musicians, who seemed to be challenging them, and the concert continued. The mas ter who, so to speak, had carried his part into battle and won the medal for valor, was Arturo Toscanini." This is the hero who, at the head ot another little regiment, La Scala Orchestra of Milan, is making an ex tensive cconcert tour in America un der the Charlton. management of Loudon Clubman Is Sued For Alienating ; Love of Husband By Tnlvenm! Service. New York, Feb. 12. Madame Claudia Tartoue. who is suing her artist husband, Pierre Tartoue, for separation, today filed a sensational bill of complaint in her $100,000 damage suit against Rene Van Len nep, society man and clubman. Mme. Tartoue alleges in her com plaint that Van Lennep "exercised a strange influence" over her hus band and was, in short, very largely responsible for her marital difficul ties. The complaint further charges that from January, 1920. until about November 17 last, Van Lennep "wrongfully and maliciously made false accusations", to Pierre Tartoue regarding the character of his wife. '"" .Tartoue, upon his recent return from the west coast, announced that unless his wife dropped her suit against him and Van Lennep he- would file a, suit against her, the nature of which he refused to dis close.
