Yolanda Mero, "foremost woman pianist," is a highly sensational artist. Her chief characteristic is a poetical fire and dash, a heritage from her Magyar ancestry. She will play here next Monday night at the Coliseum in a notable recital with Herbert Witherspoon, "world's greatest basso." Witherspoon needs no introduction to a Richmond audience. He was introduced about a dec&ae ago as bass soloist at two successive May Festivals and he has lived in the memories of the music loving since then. Now he is an artiBt of a far greater stature, he has triumphed in all fields of singing endeavor, since then and today he is at the apex of an illustrious career. Soloist With All of 'Em Madame Mero has been soloist with every great orchestra of the land and has given recitals in every city of size, not once but often. This season a South American manager approached her managers with an offer for a tour of that hemisphere, but so many engagements had been made in America that the offer could not be accepted. She will, however, make a tour of Cuba in the spring, this having been arranged last year. Mme. Mero has made several tours in this country; she first appeared in America nine years ago when quite a young woman, and her powerful, emotional playing was at onco warmly praised by the critics. She created no small impression on New York audiences, and the news of her conquest soon spread broadcast with the natural result that thirty or forty cities

Congressman, Who Fired First Shot Against Austria, is Home

AN ATLANTIC PORT, Jan. 2 Representative George Holden Tinkham, of Massachusetts, who is credited with firing the first shot sent against Austria by an American December 11, while on a visit to the Italian front, arrived here today on a French steamship. Tinkham said he fired the shot at the invitation of a Colonel commanding a battery engaged in stemming the advance of the Teutonic forces on the lower Piave. He added that, while he did not know the results of the shot, he was convinced that the shell, which was from a 149 millimeter gun, struck "in a place where it could do the most good." "It just happened that I was on the firing line at the opportune moment," he said. "I did not go there with that particular idea in mind, but I could not resist the temptation. I knew that by doing so I laid myself liable to drastic Rev. Sommerville Light ' Attending Conferences Rev.

Tinkham did not come out unscathed from his visit to Italy. He returns with one arm in a sling for a broken finger and his head in bandages for contusions received when an automobile in which he was riding at night along a shell-torn road skidded and plunged over a thirty-foot embankment. Tinkham, who also visited, the French firing line, said the situation is critical, and the successful outcome of the war depends upon American j effort, with complete and thorough j military and economic assistance. In j Italy, he said, the situation when he j left that front was especially serious, j although the Italians were fighting' bravely and making a magnificent resistance under extreme difficulties. He said he visited the American troops in France and found their enthusiasm and eagerness to be at the enemy was wonderful. Their equip- j ment, he added, "is not what it should j be. He will prepare a report on his observations to present to the authorities at Washington. -.. , . BILLIONS OF GERMS Richmond People Should Learn to Combat Them.
