was discovered. The place had been
washed down, and Byron Bear, with
! two friends, had just locked the front
door and gotten as far as Fourteenth

BRYANS PEACE DOVE
REALLY WAR EAGLE

WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.-The dove
of peace on william J. Bryan's private
seal has turned out to be a war eagle.
But Mr.. Bryan is confident he can tame
the bird and will not discard his plan
of using 1t as the seal on his peace
treaties.
This nature fake was disclosed by
the curator of the British Museum in
the history of the seal, which the
British ambassador, Sir Cecil Pring
Rice obtained for MIR. Bryan. The
coin from which the seal was taken
was picked UP by Secretary Bryan in
Palestine. and was Of the time of AL

AMERICANS TAKE
AUSTRIAN OPERA

MUNICH. Aug. 1b.-The big Amer
lean colony in Munich is up In arms
and has declared boycott on the
city's Wagner music festival. This
has been caused by what ia regarded
as an insulting criticism of the Amer
lean prima donna. Nine, Olive Frem-
stadt, and alleged slurs upon every
thing American which was printed In
the Munich Gazette on Tuesday morn
ing.
committee OF Americans has
been formed which has announced Its
intention of asking the American
press to warn Americans to avoid
Munich hereafter because of it's at
titude toward Americans.
The Wagner opera season opened
on Monday night with the opera OF
Tristan and Isolde" In which Frem-
stadt sang the role of Isolde. The
criticism OF the Munich Gazette on
the production which has caused the
present resentment was in part as
follows:
I'm the beautiful prinz regent the
'ater,' dedicated to German art, there
was nothing OF the German to be seen
or noticed. The spirit OF America
overshadowed everything in the audi
ence. where Americans and English
men predominated. and gave the tone
In every respect. and on the stage,
where an American decoy bird for
her countrymen who willingly hocked
there,
The house was sold out and
showed them how Wagner is played
on the other side Of the big pond"
Nine. Fremstadts acting was char
acterfzed as cut and dried effect
of nice lines and a beautiful costume.
Art was overdone In the expression
of intelligence OF construction to the
exclusion Of impulsiveness and every
thing genuine.
