that in the evidence shown there

Verne Marshall, proprietor of the
Cedar TCapids Gazette, arrived in

food commissioner, whose office is
to be immediately investigated by

Toscanini Led Concert Under Shell Fire

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

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. ' 1

Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
. Washington, Feb. 12. George
White, chairman of the democratic
national committee, came to town
today and scornfully declined the
cup of political hemlock offered to
him by the insurgents who are trying
to drive him from power.
"I have no intention of resigning
the chairmanship now nor have I
determined upon any date for the
future," he said.
He set to work a t once marshall
ing his forces for a showdown in
the prospective struggle for control
of the democratic party machinery.
According to all reports his ef
forts brought encouraging results
and there is every reason to believe
that the Cox faction will continue
in power for some time. Mr. White
had hardly landed in town when he
met Bernard M. Baruch. one of
William G. McAdoo's closest friends,
who assured him that he was not in
sympathy with the insurgent move.
On the contrary, Ifr. Baruch praised
ins work during the past campaign
and urged him to hold on to the
charmanship until he was ready to
resign.
Senator Pat Harrison of Mississip
pi, one of his chief lieutenants during
the campaign, told him that senti
ment at the capitol vas almost
solid against his retirement. Senator
Jones of New Mexico and Judge
Hudspeth of New Jersey, two no
tional committeemen, linked up with
the insurgent move have already
withdrawn their signatures from the
round robin calling a meeting to
oust Mr. White.
The democratic national executive
committee will meet in Washington,
February 17., Mr. White said he
is going-to ask Robert W. Woollcy
and Tom Love, flic two McAJoo
men who have been leading the in
surgent movement, to appear before
the committee at that time to an
swer questions and produce a copy
of the telegram they sent 1c national
committeemen to obtain ihcir signa
tures to the round robin.

City of Aintab From
Turkish Nationalists
Chicago Tribune-Omaha Ilea Leased Wire.
Paris, Feb. 12. To strengthen
their hand at the new Turkish peace
conference, scheduled to begin in
London, February 21, the French
have captured the city- of Aintab
away from the Turkish nationalists,
thus spanking with their left hand,
Mustapha Kemal. whom they sup
port with their right.
' Rental's fortunes have been on the
increase since Viviani succeeded at
Geneva in getting President Wilson
to undertake his negotiations with
Kemal to save Armenia, in fact, Kcm
al's prospects increased so fast he
got the "swell head." which led him
to be cantankerous- towards his Paris
sponsors.
But nowMhat Aintab has been
captured, the French figure his am
