son Theatre, which cannot but prove
the social and the intellectual event
Of the year.
The Festival will run for three days
with afternoon and evening sessions.
Noted artists of international repu-
tation will make up the program. The
event must not be confused with ly-
ceum course or chautauQua al
though the arrangement of presenta-
ton is somewhat on the order OF the
latter.
One Of the worlds famous violin
lists will be here With his associate ar
lists. A compa' " OF vocalists and in
strumentalists just returned to Amer
lea from foreign tour will participate.
One of Americas celebrated coloratu-
ra sopranos. assisted by an eminent
pianist will give recitals. The musical
attractions appear on different days.
The dramatic features will be car
ried out by two of the greatest artists
in their line in the United States.
In addition to the music and dra-
matte features, each afternoon lee
turer CT high ability will speak. In
short the Festival will be made up OF
Music. drama. and oratory. by stars
OF the. American and European plat
form.
Space will not permit at this writ
ing to go into detail on the several
artists to appear, but due and full an
nouncement will be given from time
to time, covering the work and the
achievements of each artist to take

DR.. George Seldom Waldo, who is
directing the Southern tours of the
artists, expresses himself on the mer-
its of the talent in the highest praise.
Il know OF no event ever presented
In the Southern States, of greater
strength of merit. When the festival
of the coming winter is passed and
gone feel that its worth and good
effect will be 30 keenly felt by this
community that arrangements will
be made for it's return the following
year.
Unfortunately our Southern coun.
try has been SO overrun In recent
years with trashy entertainments that
we often find. 1t difficult to convince
the people In advance Of the calibre
and ability OF the artists we are bring
Ing into the Southland on the Artist
Festivals. The first night usually con-
ylncess them, however, and tine good
word spreads. { { ~. }s'fl,-ss <. :

KAISER BEATS TIME
FOR MARTIAL HYMN
Singing Swells as Emperor Leads
in Church Service in
France
Special TO The Telegraph

London. Dec. 29.-The Chronicle re-
prints from the Neue Freie Presse. a
Vienna newspaper, an interesting ac-
count of the Kaiser at church in a
French village near Longwy. Prep
.arations had been made for the En-
peror's presence. The walls were dec
GRATED with lances; over thousand
men took up their position on one
side. and an equal number on the
other. In the front seats were the
generals and the Kaisers suite.
An armchair in the center was for
the Kaiser. He appeared in a gray
field uniform. with a scarlet and gold
embroidered collar. over the uniform
he wore a long gray mantle. He look
ed grave. exceedingly grave, and much
older than the writer of the sketch
imagined him, his features so motion
less, his eyes so set and stern, that
they looked as if chiseled in stone.
He rose from his seat al the pray
ers and hymns, and in the singing took
an active part. The hymns, apparent
ly, were all familiar to him. as he sell
dom looked at the hymn book.
At the conclusion of the service a
choir of singers and trumpeters sang
the famous "Wir Treten Zum Beten"
Owe March to Prayer"O.
At first IL was not rendered with the
necessary fire and voice. and this dis
pleasing the Kaiser, he marked time
vigorously. AS the choir followed him
the music grew louder and louder and
more spirited until it thrilled all who
heard it.
When all was over and the benedic-
tion pronounced, the Kaiser shook
hands with the pastor and thanked
him for the impressive service.

Germans Say American
COnsuls in Belgium Must
Be Acceptable to Them

Washington. Dec. 2S.-Secretary
Bryan received to-day the formal noti-
fication from Germany that Ameri-
con consuls in Belgium must be ac-
ceptable to the German military au-
thorities and asking for the withdraw
al of certain consuls for the present
at least. United States now has con-
sular representatives, only in Brussels,
Antwerp. Liege and Ghent. Since
the war broke out they have been en-
gagged chiefly in looking after refu-
gees and aiding in relief work as there
was little regular work to do.
Although the text fthe commune
cation has not been made public, il
is believed in official circles to be
similar TO the one sent Argentina and
other neutral countries and that while
the Berlin government is not insistent
that consuls in Belgium take out new
exequature from German officials il
announces that such consuls must
perform their duties only by permits
sion from the military authorities con-
trolling the territory in which the
consulate is located.
Already the Belgian government has
protested against eGrmany's action.

not a single British mine has been
