Gold Medal Is
Given Hoover
By Civic Forum
Token Designed to Reward
Most Distinguished Pub?
lic Service Presented by
Charles Evans Hughes
Called "Man of the Hour"
Recipient, Embarrassed Un?
der Broad Compliments,
Gives Credit to Helpers
The New York Civic Forum presented
a gold medal to Herbert C. Hoover last
night at Carnegie Hall. The award
was made to him as the American who
has performed the most distinguished
public service in the last two years.
Previous awards of the medal have
gone to Alexander Graham Bell, Gen
oral George Goethal? and Thomas A.
Edison.
Charles Evans Hughes,' in making the
presentation, said:
"We have met to pay a deserved trib?
ute to an American of rare distinction.
The nature of the tribute is in itself
most unusual. It is our happy priv?
ilege to express our appreciation of
the service of a living personality, one
who is with us in the vigor of middle
life rich in the promise of future use?
fulness.
"When the ruthless invasion of Bel?
gium at the outbreak of the war cre?
ated an unparalleled exigency there
was one man in Europe wh,o had the
talent, the experience, the character
and the enterprise to meet the emer?
gency, and that man was Herbert
Hoover. It is to the lasting honor of
our country that this man, born and
trained to meet this crisis, was an
American. His whole performance, in
its alertness, its speed, its adequacy,
was typically American. He had thi
complete confidence of foreign govern
ments, who intrusted to him vast sums
without audit or supervision of ex?
penditure.
World Admired Efficiency
"His administration of relief on thi:
colossal scale for the benefit of th'
people of Belgium was conducted no
only without reproach but with sue)
efficiency that it challenged the admira
tion of the world. For years million:
i'ound their daily sustenance on!;
through his organized administrator
Long before America realized her dut
in the great struggle she was pro
Touiully gratified that in the * erson o
Hoover her ' humano sentiment wa
finding expression in an organizatio
of unsurpassed effectiveness for th
relief of Belgium.
"Hoover, as administrator of relie:
was at once financier, diplomat an
statesman. He came into contact wit
the governments of the Allies and wit
the despotism of the Central* Power;
At all points he was ready, equippei
firm, fearless and adequate.
"When we entered the war it soo
became apparent that back of the 01
ganization of man power must be th
organization of equipment and :ur
plies, and back of these the correlf
tion, development and control of th
food resources of the country. Thet
was but one man in sight for this mot
difficult of undertakings, and that ma
was Hoover. It would have been in
possible for any human being, or an
conceivable group, to have handled thi
gigantic undertaking to the satisfactio
of every one. But no one doubted ti?
to that task Hoover brought the be1
ability anywhere available.
Europe Recognized Ability
"And, later, Europe recognized hi
preeminence as an organizer in selec
ing him to administer the vast sum a]
propriated for feeding the war-stricke
peoples and as a member of the St

Bedtime Stories
By Thornton W. Burgess
An Anxious Moment
A minute's sixty seconds long;
At least that's what we've all been taught,
But Peter Rabbit says tliat's wrong?
It's sometimes long and sometime? short.
Anyway that is how it seems. It all
depends on your state of mind. If it
! happens to be a minute of pleasure it
i passes so quickly that you aro quite
sure that at least fifty of those seconds
were crowded out somehow. But if i?
is a minute of dreadful anxiety it
seems so long that you wonder if it
ever will end.
That was the kind of a minute dur?
ing whjch Peter Rabbit waited to see
what Reddy Fox would do next. Of
course it really was no longer than any
other minute, but to Peter it seemed??
well, it seemed half a lifetime. It did,
really. You see Peter, sitting right in
the middle of a little open space where
the snow had melted from the brown
grass, knew that if Reddy Fox kept
coming as he was headed it would not
at him. It was because Peter hadn't
moved. For once even his wabbly little
nose was still. His long ears were laid
flat back and he was crouched down,
making himself as small as possible, so
that he looked like nothing but a little
brown bunch. But had ho moved ever
so little Reddy's keen eyes would have
seen and understood.
Straight on came Reddy until he was
at the very edge of that little open
space and hardly more than two good
jumps from Peter. Poor Peter! Ho
held his breath. He wished he could
stop his heart, for it seemed to him
that it was thumping so that Reddy
must hear it. The wind was blowing
from Reddy to Peter, which was very
fortunate for Peter. Had it been blow?
ing the other way Reddy would have
smelled him. As it was, Reddy was
Keddy ?irned and walked straight over to ifcaf clump of grass and care?
fully smelled under and around it. ?
take him more than a minute to reach
that little open space, and then?well,
Peter tried not to think of what might
happen then.
It only Reddy would turn his head!
Then Peter might have a chance to
crawl to that big bunch of brown grass
just a little way from him and hide
under it. That seemed to Peter abso?
lutely his only chance of escape. So
he kept his eyes fixed on Reddy, hoping
and hoping that Reddy would look
another way and give him just this one
small chance. He knew that Reddy
hadn't seen him yet. That seemed
funny, because, you know, Peter was
? out in plain sight in the very middle of
1 that little open space. But Peter
?'.I'j.scd whv lie ha:in*t been :-een, al
trusting to his eyes and his sharp ears
rather than to his nose.
At the very edge of the little open
space Red***]?/ stopped to look and listen.
Peter had his long hindlegs gathered
under him ready to jump with all his
might the instant Reddy should dis?
cover him. How Peter did wish he wa$
nicely hidden under that clump of
grass. And right then something hap?
pened that made Peter glad he wasn't
hidden there. Reddy turned and walked
straight over to that clump of grass
and carefully smelled under and around
itl

anee. His achievement? dignified the
nation and established prestige for the
American name abroad which none of
trie failures of diplomacy can obscure.
He bears a name illustrious because of
remarkable achievements: but, beat of
nil, it is a name untarnished, expres
B,7e not only of exceptional ability but
ni"0 T*VmP,e Vf? of a modest citizen."
Mr. Hoover betrayed his embarrass?
ment under the praise of Mr. Hughes
and other speakers by Bitting with
downcast eyes, folding and unfolding a
bit of paper. In accepting the medal
he said
"I am indeed grateful for this dis?
tinguished honor and overwhelmed with
these expressions of praise. I can only
receive the medal with the feeling that
it is a tribute to that great branch of
the voluntary service given by the
American people, of which I happened
to be an instrument. It was really by
the merest thrust of circumstance that
I should have had this position in the
war.
Success Due to Teamwork
"It was duo to the teamwork and
daily councils with hundreds of Amer?
icans that there has bsen such success
in our work as was accomplished.
"Now that the stress of war is gone
we are in some danger that selfishness
and partisanship will overwhelm our
sense of duty to the greatest number."
Horace V. Winchell, who was suc?
ceeded Monday night by Mr. Hoover as
president of the American Institute of
Mining and Metallurgical Engineers,
began his address on Herbert Hoover
with a three-stanza poem, which he en?
titled "Hail Hoover."
Mr. Winchell's address revealed that
after the armistice, Mr. Hoover, with
the aid of his assistants in every coun?
try of Europe, collected literature of
the war. The material thus gathered
i makes a library of 80,000,000 docu
I ment? and includes many original s.taff
and governmental reports and much
| correspondence of a confidential nature.
| Mr. Winchell said Mr. Hoover had
given this library to his alma mater,
Stanford University.
"As a result of this generous bene?
faction," said Mr. Winchell, "the his?
tory of the great World War will bo
written in this country, and hither for
? generations will come students of this
| great subject from all parts of the
globe.

Church Assails Maeterlinck
Archbishop Glennon Says His
Philosophy Is Falsehood
Special Dispatch to The Tribune
ST. LOUIS, Feb. 18.?The philosophy
of Maurice Maeterlinck is the philoso?
phy of pessimism and falsehood, Arch?
bishop Glennon declared to-day in a
noonday Lenten service. The arch?
bishop regretted that a man advanc?
ing theories purely negative should be
' accepted by some as an intellectual
I light.
"Maeterlinck came to us this week
to tell us all he did not know about
I Hfe and death," the archbishop de?
clared. "The agnostic is one who doe?
I not know. He is quite sure that
i Christianity is false, but what should
I take its place he does not know.
"The agnostic turns to occultism
i and spiritualism, and the individual
withers. This materialistic philosophy
; tells us that death ends all, but does
; not answer the something within us
j that tells us we will not altogether
i die. And yet this philosophy of nega
; tion claims an audience."

Y.W. CA. Report
Tells of Its Work
In Training Camps
Since June, 1917, 124 Host
ess Houses Have Been
Established and Main?
tained at Military Posts
The second installment of the com?
plete report of the activities of the
Young Women's' Christian Association
?uring the war was made public yester?
day by Mrs. James S. Cushman, chair?
man of the War Work Council of the
association.
The report shows that substantial
progress was made in military camps
and in industrial centers, and that the
association accomplished a great deal
by its work among foreign-born men
and women.
The report reads in part as follows:
"Since the first hostess house was
opened at Plattsburg Barracks in June,
1917, the committee has carried on 124
pieces of hostess work in tents and bar?
racks assigned to it by the commanding
officers, houses loaned or rented,
Y. M. C. A. huts and houses it has
built itself, both inside and outside of
camps.
"There have been seven centers of
work in Hawaii and two in Porto Rico;
116 have been in the army training
camps, where there were houses for the
visitors to both the white and negro
troops; four in naval stations, two in
marine and two in hospital camps (Fort
Sheridan, Illinois, and Oteen, N. C.)
and seven in cities which were em?
barkation and debarkation ports.
"The first house, built at Plattsburg
Barracks to meet the needs of women
visitors, was a small building very
much like a Young Men's Christian As?
sociation hut, with kitchenette attach?
ment, and was intended to provide for
the needs of visitors to 8,000 men.
"It is interesting to see that this
house has continued to be adequate for
a camp of that size. As the demands
upon the hostess house became greater i
in camps where 25,555 men were in
training, the size and facilities of ?
houses had to grow in proportion until
they reached the two largest of all
houses, built at the two embarkation
camps?Merritt and Mills."
The Stage Door !
"The Wonderful Thing" is at the
Playhouse and not at the Broadhurst
Theater, as has been erroneously
stated. "Smilin' Through" is at the

William A. Brady announces that he

Came Back" at Toledo on Saturday
night, and that on Saturday, February
28, the complete production will be
shipped to London.
Winnipeg Singer in Recital
Winifred Lugrin Fahey, a soprano
from Winnipeg, gave a recital yester?
day afternoon at Aeolian Hall. She
disclosed a voice of a good deal of
power and body in the medium and
lower registers, but the upper notes
were strident and forced. In Haydn's
"With Verdure Clad," and Mendel?
ssohn's "Hark Ye, Israel," she displayed
some knowledge of the oratorio style, ?
but insufficient breath support badly
marred her phrasing.
This was perhaps due to nervous
ness, for she improved in the next
group, in Bishop's "Tell Me Thy i
Heart," and in Schubert's "Peace" and ;
"Hark, Hark, the Lark."
She was accompanied at the piano
by Claude Gottheif, and at the organ
by Ward Stephens.

Galli-Curci Lacks Usual
Brilliance in "Dinirah'
Mr. Rimini Is Disappointin
as "Hoel"; Alda Scores
Again at Metropolitan
Mme. Galli-Curci appeared last nigl
in "Dinorah" at the Lexington Theate
She Was far from her best conditio
and even the Shadow Song lacked i
oldtime brilliance. However, th
quality of the voice is always grat
ful to the ear. Mr. Rimini was, i
formerly, the Hoel, and scarcely equ
to the music's demands. The Coreritii
was Jose Mojica, a light tenor whoi
voice is well schooled and flexible, y
who is hardly up to the exceeding
difficult requirements of the part.
Virgilio Lazzarr* was admirable :
the Huntsman, and Gino Marmuzzi co
ducted with his usual authoritv.
The opera at the Metropolitan w
"Manon Lescaut," with Mme. Alda ai
Mr. Martinelli as the protagonist
Each was in excellent voice, ii
Amato was as ever admirable a? Les?
caut, Mr. Segur?la amusing as Geronta,
while Miss Helena Marsh sane t??
musician's music very effectively. Mr.
Papi conducted.
