In 1899 Debussy set three poems of Pierre Louys under the title of 'Chansons de Bilitis', and in the following year a second set appeared with the same title, the difference between the two being that in the tatter the poems were to be recited instead of sung. According to the French critic Leon Vallas: 'This music, written for two harps and two nutes, consisted of some hundred and fifty hastily-written bars divided into a dozen numbers. It was a mere improvisation, pleasant and elegant, but of no great importance.' Fifteen years later, however, Debussy arranged and re-fashioned the material into a series of pieces' for piano duet, entitled 'Epigraphes antiques'. It Is said that Debussy once considered the idea of turning these pieces into an orchestra) suite. Vallas points out that 'In some of the pieces, it is true, we nnd the principal theme slightly developed, or adorned with changing harmonies and accessory rhythms; and one can distinguish the tintding of Chinese bells, the instrumental colouring of nutes, and the plucking of harp-strings, effects that he had utilised fifteen years previously in incidental music. There is also a suggestion of symphonic and even eycticat treatment in the manner in which the first Epigraph is repeated so as to form an ending for the last.'

Speaker, The Rt. Hon. L. S. Amery
Interlocutor. Sir Alfred Zimmern
How far can Great Britain and the Empire serve the ends of peace by detaching themselves from the problems that are facing Continental Europe ? This is the question that a politician of long and distinguished service is to attempt to answer. The Rt. Hon. L. S. Amery was on the editorial staff of The Times before entering politics. He represented South Birmingham In the House of Commons from !911 to 1918, served in Flanders and the Near East in the first two years of the war, and was on the staff of the War Council at Versailles from 1917 to 1918. Since then he has been First Lord of the Admiralty, Secretary of State for the Colonies, and Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs.
