TAF BACKS PEACE
AIMS OF PRESIDENT
| Former President William Howard
[Taft last night came out in unqualified
support of President Wilson's prin
ciples of a league of nations.
It was in the course of a remark
! able address before the National
Geographic Society that Mr. Taft up
held the President in pxaintaininj
that the establishment of a league of
nations is not only vitil to the future
J peace of the world but also to the
[creation of the half-dozen republics
promised in the famous fourteen
point?.
Citing the experiences of the United
States in Cuba. Mr. Taft asserted that
they should teach us how uncertain
is the fate of a new republic unless
it has a protector which can guide It
along until it is able to stand on its
own feet.
He said the proposed league of na
tions must be a protector to the nevr
ly-formed, or about-to-be-tormed
states, such as the Ukraine, the Bal
tic provinces of Russia, of Finland,
and Czecho-Slovakia.
Check to tirrman>.
In the growth of prosperity of
these new states. Mr. Taft saw th*
hemming in of Germany, in that they
will prevent her from spreading into
Russia and thwart her ambition for j
the control of middle Europe to Bag- J
dad and the Persian Gulf.
Mr. Taft further mentioned the |
proposed new states of the Jugoslavs, |
Palestine. Armenia and the Caucasus,
which also will need the aid and pro
tection of the league of nations.
Speaking of the final disposition of ]
the Ger.nan colonies. Mr. Taft said lie
did not believe they ought to he
given to Great Britain, but should be
internationalized and placed under I
the'control and administration of the I
league of nations itself.
"Were we to turn her colonies
over to Great Britain or France."
Mr. Taft said, "there would at once '
arise a suspicion that the trustee J
was exploiting the colonies for the i
benefit of its home people. The ac- j
quisition of these lands by any one j
or another government would give ?
the appearance of selfishness to the '
aims of the allies in the war. What
is true of the German colonies is also
true of Constantinople. it must be
internationalized."
\o I .ohm of Soxreitiiit?.
Answering the objection of >ome in
dividuals that by entering the I.eagu ? |
of Nations the United State.- would I
lo^e its sovereignty as a nation, oi'<> j
characterizing this criticism as 1 ;
"bugaboo." Mr. Taft said:
"We do not propose to Inn r tin-,
freedom of action of a nation in th ? ?
Hague 'o enforce peace by j.nytliing [
more than thf rules of int^natiOiia! :
law or of decency and moral conduct j
and good form. The sovereignty -.f ?
[every nation will b< stabilize! by en
abling the small nations equally t-i
| enjoy the benefits of international lau ,
without maintaining armed forces to
secure their rights and prevent mur
der and robbery and drive off th'
footpads among nations."
| Mr. Taft declared in favor of t h*
j Monroe doctrine, asserting that, far
I from endangering this principle, tin
[League of Nations Is a mer* exfn
[ sion of the doctrine throughout the
i world.

Mme. Galli-Curci failed to arouse the
degree of enthusiasm in her recital
at the National Theater yesterday
afternoon that usually attends the
singing of this coloratura soprano of
the mellow tones and flute-like
smoothness of execution. The choice
of program seemed in large measure
responsible for a certain restraint in
the huge audience that filled the the
ater. the stage, and all available
standing room.
Why is it that an artist who has
achieved renown such as Mme. Amelita
Galli-Curci. through a type of art In
dividually her own and in which she
is peerless in her own epoch, should
deliberately forsake that field and
give, in recital, a program of songs
that are. not suited to her and
thiouRh which she has little to con
tribute?
Three Selection* Suited.
With but three exceptions, the
singer of bird-lil^e trills, and luscious
tones in florid runs and amazing
grace and ease, was not in'evidence.
These three selections. th? "Care
Selve" of Handel, '"Carnival di Ve-!
nezia'* of Benedict, and the "Qui la J
voce" from Bellini's "I Puritani" j
showed the dainty coloratura in her j
own split-re, however. There is a j
dulcet ease and beauty in the free
dom of her coloratura singing, al
though Mme. Galli-Curci has sung in
better voice than she was in yester- i
day. for the remarkable mellowness j
of her upper register, that she j
sustains to lier topmost note, was |
somewhat marred and strained by a |
slight hoarseness.
It is always a small voice, but so
full of beauty, and her breath con
trol in long sustained tones and in
lier warm-toned trills make them
unique in the singer's art. In this!
music one finds a charm and finish |
such as the violinist can give in his [
subtle nuances.
In her songs in Knglis'n. and in
many of her French songs there was
too much carefulness to give free
dom to expression or meaning. Par
ticular beauty there was in the mid
dle voice, and the sonss were musical,
but the art of interpretation re
quires mo'f than that, to hold the
interest. The "Depuis le jour" from
Oharpentier's "Louise" was a lovely
vocalization, but it had not the pas
sion of Cliarpentler's music of the
awakening of love.
Seott'a "Lullaby" Delight*.
"Lullaby," by Cviil Scott, given as
encore. was quite the loveliest song ;
in Kngiish that Mme. Galli-Curci gave, j
It was suave and delightfully rhvth-|
mit. while the fantasy of the light- !
?ies3 of "The Brownies" of l^eoni was j
very charming. Two songs by h?r j
accompanist. Homer Samuels, were I
attractive, particularly the "Garden |
Thoughts'* with a nice accairpani

ment, but they were not well fitted
to her voice, or perhaps the indis
tinct diction failed to carry their im
port. Mr. Samuels, too. was,inclined
to overpower the singer with his ac
companying.
Midi. Galli-Curci was liberal with
her encores, riving- "Drink To Me
Only With Thine Eyes," the Cyrtl
Scott "Lullaby," "Si mes vers avaient
des ailes" by Reynaldo Halin. "Fair}'
Children" by Besly. "The Brook" of
Cecil Burleigh, and "Robin Adair."
