William H. Galvani Welcomes
Representatives of All Rus
sia in Mother Tongue.
WHITE BREAD ALSOvTABOO
SURPRISE IS APPRECIATED
Men From New Republic listen for
First Time Since Long Tour In
United States Began to Ad
dress in Own Language.
fc'trangers In far land know, none
better, the blessing of hearing the
mother tongue spoken unexpectedly.
And It was in this wise that members
of the Russian embassy mission, doubt
less worn by many meetings and much
cpeechmaking, were greeted when they
came to Portland last week.'
There was Lieutenant-Commander
Basil Hwoschinsky, of the Russian
navy, slender and blushing, a. charming
fellow, who spoke in quaint, slow Eng
lish and who wore the Cross of St.
George, for valor against the Hun. And
there was -A. J. Sack, short of stature,
with gray Slavic eyes and countenance
Imperturbable, chief of the Russian In
formation Bureau in the United States.
They were met at the Union Depot
by the reception committee from the
' Chamber of Commerce, and among
those who greeted them was William
H. Galvani. There was a glowing and
genuine warmth of welcome in the
Knglish tongue, but a dearth of those
strange and liquid syllables that char
acterize the Slavic speech.
Mother Tongue Welcomes.
And then, after some hours of city
touring, they sat down to table in a
coiy dining-room of the Chamber of
Commerce. The chairman of the re
ception committee, Charles E. Cochran,
rose to suggest that Mr. Galvani de
liver the formal speech of welcome.
And the two Russian emissaries, toy
ing with the silver and waiting for
such an address as the hundreds to
which they had listened, in as many
American cities, gave no sign of more
than polite anticipation. They waited,
gentlemen both, for what the fates had
in store.
Mr. Galvani bowed to the guests, to
the company, he saluted the chairman.
"Mr. Chairman " he began. The
two Russians were tracing squares and
spirals on the cloth.
"And vi, gospoda!"
The Lieutenant-Commander's blue
eyes widened. Over the calm features
of the publicist there flashed a look of
strange, delighted surprise. The
glances of the two Russians met, in in
stant happiness, across the table.
For the formal address of welcome
had greeted them in the accents of
Mother Russia, with the words, "And
you, gentlemen!" In all America, at
banquet after banquet, at reception
pursuing reception, an interminable
chain of duty, they bad not heard their
own tongue.
Speaker Stira Interest.
Never was William H. Galvani In
finer fettle. The tongue that was his
by heritage, that he used for liberty in
the days before he fled from Moscow, a
youth . of 18 years, to America, came
back to him as he welcomed the coun
trymen who were on tour for a finer
comradeship between their motherland
and her sister republic.
And this is a translation of the ad
dress of welcome that brought both
Russian gentlemen to their feet in re
sponse and that left a tremor in the
voice of the Lieutenant-Commander
and a new light In the eye of Mr.
Sack :
"Mr. Chairman, and you. gentlemen,
representatives of the people of All
Russia, citizens of the Republic of All
Russia, permit me, a native 'son of
great Russia and a citizen - of the
United States, to welcome you here, in
the name of the great Chamber of
Commerce, and in which welcome, I am
sure, the people of our state heartily
join.
"Permit me also to state to you here
that the citizens of the great Republic
of the United States of North America
most truly and sincerely sympathize
with the people of All Russia, and out
of their hearts wish the people of All
Russia every possible success lr. the
work before them the establishment
of a permanent republic: for the regen
eration of all the nationalities and
creeds, and to the glorious memory of
those martyred heroes who, during the
past century, so nobly died for the
cause of human freedom, in what was
then the most despotic autocracy that
ever cursed the human family.
Response Shows Gratefulness.
"I well remember the time when we
used to gather together in secret
places and sing
"A day of deliverance will surely
come.'
"Nor have we ever forgotten that
prophetic stanza from the poem dedi
cated to the eternal memory of Tshern
ishev, one of the most noted revolu
tionists "The glorious time will coma
When out of our mouldering bones
A terrible avenger win arise.
With greater power than ours to con
quer:' "The glorious time has surely come,
the conquest was irrevocably made,
and we rejoice hero in your visit and
wish All Russia the triumph of liber
ality and fraternity' that great battle
cry which is inscribed on all of the
banners that now wave over All Rus.
sia!"
There was a space of silence. Then
Mr. Sack arose. And he said that the
finest pleasure of his visit was crowned
by this greeting, that of one whose
birthplace was in their common mother
land and who had gained honor and re
spect and place as a citizen of Amer
ica. And there was nothing of the formal
about that response. It sprang from
the deeps of sentiment that are touched,
as this story said somewhere at the
outset, when one in the stranger's land
hears the tongue that is his own.

TS AYE.
THE following telegram was received
November 10, from Charles A. Sink,
of the University of Ann Arbor,
Mich, "Five thousand people gave
Ysaye an ovation here tonight. Many
recalls. Wonderful artist."
Following are some of the tributes
paid Ysaye after his New York and
Boston recitals:
New York Tribune Thase the imDrnilom
of 17 years ago, and they were revived yea-
leraay revived and emphasized in their
chief aspects. . Mr. Ysaye rendered a ereat
and timely service by playing such music
as he did and playing- it as he did. For
years the. public has been led more and
more Into sldewlse excursioins. Into prim
rose paths, to loiter In orettv dalliance with
fiddle trifles. Mr. Ysaye brought his audi
ence back Into the great classic highway
and expounded for them the cardinal prin
ciples of artistic beauty. In tone and phrase
and expressive melodic line he exemplified,
ae no other violinist of our time exempli
fies it, the supreme, the divine law of re
pose. His posture was firm, commanding,
compelling, but inviting to glad obedience.
His violin part of himself: his bow and right
arm a single agency. The tone of his in
strument pulsated with warm blood. No
need of affected vibrato there. The hall
was crowded and hundreds of would-be lis
teners were turned away.
Boston Globe If Ysaye Dlava taniaht
(Boston Symphony Orchestra concert) as he
did yesterday afternoon and perchance
should never visit America again, the dis
tinguished violinist will have left indissol
ubly linked with these concerts the mem
ory of a great art. Ysaye has demonstrated
at each appearance here the wondrous versa
tility of his bow, a command over an aston
ishing range of musical articulation. He
gives it the varied accent, and to a degree
the color, of the human voice. It Is no
longer musical "effects" which he discloses,
but the spiritual Import of the composer's
thought that lies beneath.
New York Times It was evident very
soon after .Bugen Ysaye had begun to play
at his recital yesterday afternoon In Car
negie Hall that he was still the great artist,
the master violinist, that he was on his
previous visit to America, and that the
young men who have arisen in the world
of art since he was last heard here have
still something to look up to. It is 10
years since the gi-eat Belgian violinist last
played in New York. The ravages of time
have had little effect upon the essential
qualities of his playing, which make him a
great matter, an interpreter in the high
est sense. Such a one glorifies and ennobles
what he touches with the communicating
flame of an ardent temperament, and raises
It to the higher levels of art. Much might
be said of his large, rich and heart-searching
tone, rich in shades of emotional ex
pressiveness, of his broad and sensitive bow
ing, of his subtle plasticity of phrasing, and
following of the melodic line. For himself,
there were recalls without number by an
audience that filled Carnegie Hall com
pletely. New York World Eugen Ysaye is still
the same wizard of the violin he was when
he last appeared here, years ago. He proved
this yesterday afternoon when he played
his first recital In Carnegie Hall, where 8800
persons sat and stood through a fine pro
gramme which 500 others could not pur
chase tickets to hear. Ysaye is a finer mu
sician than when he was here before: a
greater artist in every sense of the term
He seemed yesterday to be endeavoring to
prove his superiority to those newcomers
who have usurped the place he has so ong
held. And he convinced all that he is now
one of the greatest violin artists the world
has known.

as well as 6000 cigarettes and 400 ci
gars. Plum puddings. 350 Jars of Jams,

of the Woman's Exchange to sell pastry
before Thanksgiving day. the Red Cross
committee has decided to omit pies
from their list of Thanksgiving goodies.
Gratifying because of the many na
tionalities represented is the response
from those who have booths at the pub
lic market. Every booth but one will
give vegetables for the sale. On Satur
day, Monday and Tuesday a booth
marked with a red cross, with Boy
Scouts In attendance, will be ready to
receive donations.

have no hunters in the family, will be
gin Monday at Fifth and Stark streets.

Federal lood Administrator Says
Sew Order Must Bo Obeyed or
Penalties Will Bo Inflicted
oil All Violators.
No longer may the festive citizen
with "the price" be able to order "s
sirloin well, rare or medium," on Tues
day, neither will he be able to obtain
white bread on Wednesday.
Acting Federal Food Administrator
Newell yesterday issued such orders to
hotels, restaurants, etc., as to meat
and bread, and It "goes" after this, or
penalties will be inflicted.
And yet the fellow who must have
meat will not be entirely out of luck,
providing be li willing to take a sub
stitute, for Mr. Newell, "to avoid
waste," inserted a clause permitting
the serving of beef stew or hash made
from left-overs. Bo If meat one must
have, meat one may have, with this
proviso.
White bread, which has been quite
a matter of one's wish in the past, is to
be taboo absolutely each Wednesday
until further orders, which, by the way,
depends largely upon how much longer
the Kaiser is able to keep going.
"There is no excuse for serving so
much beef, mutton and pork," said Mr.
Newell, after issuing the order. "There
is an abundance of fish and fowl and
the meat supply must be conserved.
While as a general rule the wish of
the administration has been complied
with, there have been instances where
it has not, hence the order."
Gossiping: Over Telephone
Lines Condemned.
Commissioner Corey Take Occasion
to Kmphastse Fact That Idle
Talkies; Frequently Interfere
With Ileal Function of System.
SALEM. Or., Nov. 21. (Special.)
"Listening In" on party telephone
lines came in for & rap from the Public
Service Commission today, when Com
missioner Corey wrote a letter to C. F.
Cosper. manager of the Lebanon Mu
tual Telephone Company, declaring that
business in smaller localities is great
ly hampered because "listening In" and
gossip are unduly Indulged in.
While he admits that for promoting
good fellowship and binding a commu
nity in close bonds "this visiting by
wire has been of Inestimable service,'
he states that "because of Its human
touch it has grown beyond proportions
and is sufficient to Justify the com
plaints filed with this Commission.
"Some plan to give the right of way
promptly to emergency calls and busi
ness messages over the small talk and
Idle gossip would no doubt add greatly
to the value of every telephone serv
ice." says Mr. Corey. "Mechanically It
seems to be impossible to do more than
the telephone companies are now doing,
hence the necessity of co-operation by
the subscribers. Visiting over the
phone and phone gossip should be dis
couraged. The telephone is primarily
for business and emergency calls when
some matter needs Immediate atten
tion. Social conversation, while permis
sible and proper, is often Indulged in
to excess and often very urgent emer
gency calls are hampered because "the
line is busy."
