Correspondence
To the Editor of ‘‘St. Croix Avis.”’
Dear
Sir:—
:
It is not very often that we get
to
hear music
by the old Masters,
and when
we do it is considered
a treat.
Since the
days of Rev. J. E. Weiss of the Moravian
Church
of this town,
when
that
famous
organist
and musician
with his Choir
of
FET
e
E LR
A
VIB
select
voices
rendered
‘‘The Messiah’’
(Handel)
that
world
famed
composi-
tion
has been
thrust
aside
as
it
were,
until
awakened
by
the
uiative
Brass
Band
at its Concert
on Tuesday
evening.
‘This number
was
well rendered,
each
in-
strument
blending in grand harmony with
its neighbor,
no over-crowding
as
is
the
common
fault with some
Bands.
Mozart’s
“‘Gloria’’ (from
12th Mass)
was
among
the other sacred
selections played
by the
Band
and
also
deserves
commendation.
The Concert
was pleasing
on
the whole.
New
i struments
must
tell.
Respectfully,
CRITICS.

somewhat
into

ground.
The
acceptance
by

of

proposal
of 175,000
tons in capital ships
had
placed
the

LlvwecU,
With regard
to
the
announcement
that
he had
No objection’’
to the construc-
tion of
the
Pacific
treaty
agreed
to
by
the United States
delegates,
that it shall
apply to
the principal islands
of the
Ja-
panese
Empire,
President
Harding
de-
clared,
in
a formal
statement
issued
af-
ter he
had expressed
the
opinion in
an
interview with newspapermen
yesterday
that
it
did
not apply
to
those
islands,
that ‘‘the differences
in view in nowise
will be
permitted
to embarrass
the
con-
ference
or
the ratification
of the
agree-
ment.
Havre,
Dec.
21st.—
Marshal
Foch and
M. Viviani returned
from
their trip

Dublin, .Dec.
22nd.—A
decision
as
to
the ratification. of
the
Irish
agreement,
or
an
adjournment
over
the
Christmas
holidays
was
expected
by
tonight,
as
the
Dail gathered
for
today’s
session..
All observers
agree
that
when the vote
on
the
treaty
is
reached
the
majority
either
way
will
be
small.
The
sup-
porters of the
treaty
appear
to be mote
confidential
than
the
opposition,
but
the
Dublin
press,
which
is strongly in
favour of acceptance
of
the treaty,
con-
tinued
this
morning
to ltake
a2 gloomy
view of the
situation.
The political
cor-
respondent
of
the
Freeman’s
Journal
warned
the
Dail
members
that absten-
tion from voting
by
even
a
small
num-
ber,
might
jeopardize
ratification
He
pointed out that
if the Dail rejected
the
tregty,
it would
lapse
automatically and
th"peoplp
weuld
have
no
chance
to ex-
p
ss their opinion on it.

Dec. 22nd—Three

G

shot
up
the
Pen-
s
1s Office, wounding the former Regent
.miral Coundouriotis
in the body.
One
.. the stenographers
and
a secretary
also
were shot.
The wound of the Admiral is
believed
to
be
serious.
The
soldiers,
forming
a committee
of
men discharged
from the
army,
entered
the
office
and
complained
that they
were not receiving

from

among
Greek residents
of the
United States
for
the
purpose
of
relief
among
wounded
soldiers.

only country in the world where

elaborate
a

su..
‘e
ior
the
rehabilitation
of
Central
RKusgpe
and
Russia.
This conclusion
was ar\i
ed at
in the
conferences
of the
Frenc
and British jPremiers
just
ended
here.
The United
States
would be
invited
to
have
a imembership
in this
commission.
Germany
also would be represented.
The
question
of a
Russian
representative
is
in abeyance.
When
M.
Briand returned
to his
hotel this
noon from
the
confer-
ence with
Mr. Lloyd George
in Downing
Street,
he
told
the
correspondent
an
agreement
had
been
reached
on many
points.
‘‘One could
almost say
on prac-
tically all essential
points’’,
added
the
Premier,
but no new
