One may say morn, it was a heroic work, done In heroic style and only lavish endowments, which all three of the singers possess could have achieved such a perfection of ten dering an interpretation as was offered last night. Kven when one where the malestrom of human 'mes brings the best together nnd i competition in art aa In other so enables him to hear those groat ; ly endowed in such ensembles, the ? hearing of the equal of last night's ! performance can happen not many $ times during the course of a life.

The end of the big Circulation Drive in which J14.000 in big prizes will be distributed, Is near flVhand! The period from now until Sat urday will go a long ways towards deciding the winners of the many valiaable awards for which the members throughout this section of Western North Carolina hava been working zealously during the past weeks. And now their re ward is about to come. Toptdng the splendid array of prize is the beautiful J3.464 Cad illac automobile. Busy workers are In eery section determined that this wonder prize shall be their very own and are seeking subscriptions with an Intensity that will make the last lap of the race a whirlwind of action. Still other members are anxious for some or the other of the six beautiful prize cars and are work ing with a determination not to be surprised by a more energetic contender when tile .tinal count is made. About the only safe for them to do is to gather every possble subscription, every vote is valuable, every subscript! m is a step nearer to a prize. Thu pre diction that the race will be a clo&u one among many makes it d.iubly essential that no opportunity is to be overlooked now that tnu linal goal is in sight. From all indications this week will be the very biggest week yet recorded in the life of the Circula tion Drive. It is absolutely the last chance for double votes, there fore the members are "on their toes, so to speak, and are out with the one thought "now or never hovering in their minds. The:-e will doubtless be a decided change In the actual lineup of the drive members after this week ends, provining tnose wno are amj.ig the leaders now do not beome "winded" and slacken their efforts at such a critical time.

"To the Honorable Board of Commissioners of the City of Asheville. we present the following preamble and resolution: "Whereas, In the conduct of the campaign looking to the voting of the one million dollar bond issue for general improvements, we have discovered: "First, that we have not, suffi cient time in which to conduct a proper educational campaign to inr form the general public all phases of the Isssue and have not had up to this time the advantage of such recommendations as the City Plan ner might make; and "Whereas. It never has been the purpose of the friends of this movement to coerce or mislead the citizens of Asheville with reference to this measure; and Whereas, .we desire to act in proper good raun wun an con cerned. Now, therefore be it resolved: First, that out of deference to tne foregoing, we respectfully ask the Board ot Commissioners to post pone this election until after the meeting of the legislature in Jan uary. 1923. at which time all legal contingencies may be satisfactory determined. Second, In presenting these resolutions, we desire to express our appreciation of all the enthu siastic support which we have re ceived from various and much ap preciated quarters: "We believe that the entire pop ulace of Asheville when properly Informed and assured concerning this movement will be entirely ready to move as an unbroken unit in this direction of progress. Kx prone Appreciation For Co-Operation "We exprees in this preamble our appreciation for such consti tuency, feeling aure that when the proper time comes following tne legislative enactment that even those who are in opposition will be among our most ardent help ers: for the final and most con sequental effort In which Ashe ville haa ever been lead." .

The Allied Pre-'-mlera will not meet tomorrow to dismiss German reparations. They will gather again on Friday but whether only for the purpose ot formally adjourning and arrang ing for u further meeting else where or to consider an entirely newr plan for the settlement, ot the financial situation in Germany, probably will depend on the out come of a gathering of the Brit-, lsli Cabinet tomorrow and what ever new suggestions France may have tu offer. The plan of M. Polncare. th French Premier, submitted on Monday, which was referred to the exyerts ro determine whether ' it would result in "productive guar antees" lias been rejected by the Finance Ministers who agreed with the exception of the French Premier that It would not be "pro ductive of hard cash." The report of the experts' com mittee opposed all the French proposals by a majority of four, to one. The Belgians, however. supported the Frenci; plan of Al- lted control of state owned mines In the Kuhr region. A majority of the experts branded this proposal urn "useless, except as a sanction " The suggested establishment of customs lines between the occu pied area and the rest of Germany and around the Ruhr region was tejected as undesirable. As recjuiited by the British spokesmen the majority of the ex perts held that m real, morator ium would be afforded by remit ting the present forms of payment if equally onerous obligations were placed upon Germany.
