FINE BDNBERT BY TRIS 0F FANEB ARTISTS

Another Brilliant Suc- cess Scored Under Auspices Of Com- munity Concert Ass’n.

A finely balanced concert, given with finished technique and with rare feeling and understanding. was the treat in store for mem- bers of the Community Cohort Association at last night's per- formance in Prince of Wales Col- lege Hall by Messrs. Prank Kncisel. violinist. (son oi a famed musician of that name); John Alden. ‘cellist; and Robert ‘firmer. ‘youthful pianist. The prowess-into

cluded solos and trios from both classical and modern composers, ranging all the way from Vivaldi, Bl-Ilmartinl. Mozart and Beeth- oven to De Falls and Frank Bridge; the latter an llmglish composer as- sociatedwith several well-known chamber-music organizations who has conducted his own works with most oi the major symphony ov- chestras. ,

The performance was given under the patronage of His Honour Lieutenant Governor DeBlois and Mrs. Delfols, and Premier Isa and Mrs. Ina and was attended by a. large and highly appreciative audience.

The first. and major work onathe Dwlfammc. was atrio. Opus ‘l0. No. l, by Beethoven. The three movements, "Allegro vivace e con brio." “Largo cssai ed espnssivo," and "Presto." were admirably rep- resentative oi the "middle period" of the composer's work, recalling but faintly the style of Mozart and Haydn, and reaching depths of emotion beyond the scope of those earlilcr masters. It is this concen- tration, of power and mastery of expression over perhaps every com- poser butBach, which makcsBeeth- oven a supreme test for his in- term-stars. and an unfailing source of delight to generations of music lovers.

The romantic side of Beethoven was evidenced in the rich autumn- al beauty of the Largo movement in last night's performance. Equal- ly characteristic, however, was the brilliant "Presto" which, if any- thing. was played with even "iinor effect than the WW4“! move. merits.

The second section of the pro- gram consisted oi solos by Mr. Alden with Mr. Turner at the piano- Starting with Vivaldfs slow, plaintive Intermezzo, the ‘cellist followed it, in dramatic contrast, with Sammartinlb gay “Vivace”. Then came a simple, sweet lullaby by Qyrll Scott, pmycd on muted strings and with an effect oi shim- mering loveliness. The concluding

umber was “The Mbth," an ef- ectivs piece of programme music. composed by Mr. Alden himself. As an encore. he played "Tarantella" by Cossman.

The next section was a F0119 of piano solos by Mr. Turner. who, in spite of his youth, is already recog- nised es one of the leading pian- ists of America. Hummers haunt- ingly beautiful "Rondo" and Chopin's beloved “Bavade” in A flat major were his programme selections. to which he added. as encoreia, Bimsky-Korsakoira "Flight of the Bumble Bee" and "Gopak" by Moussorgsky.

Mr. Knclael in his group of violin solos also drew enthusiastic ap- plause from the udicncc, and in his first selection—a Rondo by Moeart, arranged by Prita Kreis- ler from the orchestral scare of the so-cailed Hafinar Serenade- showed astonishing mastery of his

The waterfront at the Railway Wharf was the scene oi feverish activity yesterday as Charlottetown longshoremcn rushed to complete the loading of the steamer Anna- vor-e, the last cargo boat oi the season to load at this port.

In case of rain the hatches of the ahiP can be covered except for a space largo enough to admit the bags. loading can thus Proceed regard- less oi the weather which means much when the season is lei-tin! lato, 0m of the greatest advant- ages of the machine is that sacks of turnips or potatoes-are handled with practically no bruising or other injury to the contents.

(C.P. By Guardian's Special Wire) HALIFAX, Dec. 13 — Hon. G. Howard Ferguson, after a term in London as Canada's High commis- sioner to Great Britain, came back to Canada tonight with the con- viction that Europe faces war.

Europe's popitical material is “inflammable,” the former Ontario premier declared as he came into port aboard the Canadian Pacific liner Montrose. Only a. spark is needed, he asserted, m set the con- tinent afiame with conflict.

But he was sure Great Britain would not be involved. "There isn't much chance of Great Britain get- ting into any war,” he said. And he was just as sure that the war he predicted would not grow directly from the Item-Ethiopian struggle. It would develop from Europe's tense internal situation.

Committee Reports

First business of the plenary session was consideration of the reports presented by the six oom- mittees appointed at the opening session Monday. Privilege of mov- ing that they be received was given the government of Ontario and, in tho absence of Premier Mitchell Hepburn, who left for Toronto this afternoon, the motion was made by Hon. Arthur Roebuck, Ontario At- torney General.

Premier Taschereau of Quebec seconded the motion and observed that he had abandoned his tradi- tional stand against amendments h; the British North America Act because he had been impressed by the fairness with which all gov- ernments of recent years had treated the constitutional rights oi minorities.

The motion was not for the adoption of the resolutions but that they be received, and it was unani- mously ppSSed. Each provincial representative expressed himself as satisfied a definite start had
