Secretary REQUESTS EARLY TACNA-ARICA VOTE i ! Chile Would Advance Date for | Plebiscite to Save Exces sive Military Expense. By the Associated Presg. SANTIAGO. Chile. December 13.? The text of the note addressed yes I terday by Chile to Peru in regard to the dispute over the provinces of Tacna and Arica proposes that the plebiscite, provided under the treaty of Ancon, be advanced so as to do away with the necessity for main tenance of excessive military estab lishments. The note, written by the Chilean foreign minister. Krnesto Barros Jarpa, points out that the negotia tions carried on in 1912 with a view to fixing the basis upon which to hold a plebiscite were ^interrupted in tlieir final details by "causes well known." Would Settle Dispute. It asserts that President Alessan dri has determined rapidly to seek a manner of solving the dispute. "It is true." says the note, "that the 1912 proposal postpones celebra tion of the plebiscite until 1933, but such postponement would be equiva lent to the maintenance in America of a cause of possible international conflicts, obliging Peru and Chile, and perhaps other countries, to sup port excessive military establish ments by war. We have invited the nations of this continent to dedicate their best efforts to development of their natural riches." The note expresses hope that the plebiscite may be held at an earlier date than that set in the 1912 pro posal and invites Peru "without loss of time to carry into practice the resolutions celebrated in 1912." The 1912 negotiations were the last official parleys concerning the two former Peruvian provinces which have been under Chilean administra tion since the war of 1879. These negotiations extended several months and finally broke down as the result of various difficulties, among which are said to have been the opposition of the congresses of both republics, especially that of Peru, under the late Prescient Guillermo Billinghurst. 0 Fulfillment of article III of the treaty of Ancon signed October 20, 1S83, which provides for a plebiscite definitely to determine the sovereign ty of the disputed provinces, general ly has been conceded to have been the stumbling block to an agree ment between the two states.

IT'S MltXvJIGHT' AMUSEMENTS (Continued from Twenty-fourth Page.) Rankin Memorial Chapel on the uni versity campus. The program was en hanced by the Howard Glee Club, which rendered a special program of musical numbers by eminent negro composers, such as Samuel Coleridge Taylor and Harry T. Burleigh. The 26th verse of the 23d chapter of Luke, "And as they led him away they laid hold upon Simon, a Cyren ian, and on him they laid the cross that he might bear it after Jesus," formed the base of the play. It is. of course, a biblical staging, set at the time of the crucifixion, with the scenes taking place in th*? garden ad joing the house of Pilate, the gov ernor of Judea. The play affords much room for able acting, which was taken advantage of, especially by Helen I. Webb as Procula, the wife of Pilate, and Ottie Graham as Acte, the Princess of Egypt. Ottie Graham dis tinguished herself In a "juba" dance, a composition on a negro folk dance, by Nathaniel Dett, the musical di rector at Hampton Institute and a leading representative of the younger musical schools. Purvis J. Chesson was seen in the role af Simon. Others who took promi nent parts in the cast were Horace Scott as Drusus, a young Roman; Henry P. Owens as Battus, a Libyan prince Davis as Pilate, governor < f Judeau; G. Frazier Miller as Barabl.; an insur rectionist, and August Terrance and Walter W. Goens as the mockers. The play was produced under the direc tion of Mrs. Marie Moore Forrest and Prof. Montgomery Gregory. Besides the musical numbers by the Howard Glee Club, under the direction of Prof. Roy W. Tibbs, the university orchestra furnished sev eral selections, including an excep tional rendition of Beethoven's "Adagio," from "Sonata Pathetique." . Many delegates to the armament conference, their wives and friends, and several prominent foreign and American writers attending the arma ment conference, witnessed the per formance and testified their appre ciation of the dramatic talents of the Howard University students in the cast by their applause at the close.
