Washington, Jan. 17-(By A.P.)-
Investigation of the Bok peace planj
wil be begun Monday by a specialI
committee of the senate appointed to-k
day under a resolution of Senator J
A. Reed, Democrat, Missouri, propos- I
ing an inquiry into general propo-
ganda in the United States.
Edward W. Bok, of Philadelphia
who offered the $100,000 prize award-
ed for the best peace proposal and
Miss Esther Everrett Lape, of Pkila-
delphia, one of the members in charge
of the plan, will be the first witness-
es heard under a decision of the com-
mittee at its organization meeting late
today.
Beside the inquiry into the Blok
peace plan, under sweeping authority
conferred upon It by the resolution, the
committee probably will take up the
question of propoganda regarding the
Mellon tax program, the soldier's bon-
us, the League of Nations and other
subjects pending before congress. The
order of procedure will be determined
later, the only decision today being:
for investigation of the B. k plan whicl-

program, including a wide range of
composers and a variety of music.

In the "Sword of Ferrarra" by Bull-
ard, the Glee club reached its great-
est brilliance, their tones and spir-
ited manner bringing forth a real ap-
preciation from the audience. At all
times the singers were under the ab-
solute control of their leader, George
Oscar Bowen, to whom great credit is
due for the artistic style of their per-
formanee.
Philip LaRowe, in presenting Bon-

The work of the string quartet was
received with special favor by the au-T

intelligent interpretation of the score
and good coordination existed at all
times between the performers. The
rendition of Moszkowski's "Spanisb
Dance" was especially noteworthy.
R. Winfield Adams, presenting three
songs of a varied character, sang with
an air of assurance and understand-
ing, exhibiting to their best advantage
the firm tonal qualities and unusual
flexibility of his voice.
Taken as a whole, the concert was r
one of real musical value, as wells
