plans for elopement, a license for the
marriage of Alexander l.. Field. twen
ty-three. of Pittsburgh, Pa. and Miss
Sallie Burwell, eighteen, of oxford, y.
C., was returned and Cancelled here yes
terday.
Their plans for the marriage were as
follows: Fields. whose father was sec
retary to the governor of North Caro-
lima, was to join Miss Burwell when
she left home, ostensibly, to resume her
studies at a fashionable Virginia semi
nary, and bring her to this city where
they were to be secretly married At
Fields request the license had been
taken out by William H. Fry, OF the
Department of Agriculture. an old
friend of the bridegroom-to-be and the

tribute to the Continent is an un-

America is awakening to art in its

One reason for the Germans deep
love for their Kaiser. according to
Mr.. Hammer. is accounted for by
his contributions to the spiritual and
artistic development of his own
people.
German Patriotism.
Love Of beauty in all its forms.
he asserts. is deeply implanted in
the German people. From this ap-
probation of esthetic values. he be-
lieves, arises a deeper appreciation
of moral and ethical values.
Germans love their Emperor for
what he has done for art and SCI
ence as much as they love him for
his contributions to commerce and
agriculture he said. Emperor
Williams development of farm lands
and industries has been widely talk
ed about. But II Is not so senerally
known that he has contributed s.aD.-
600 yearly of his own fortune to-
ward the advance of art and sci
ence. He pays for the royal opera
from his private purse.
Germany is democratic. but our
democracy is not in all details the
same as the democracy of Ameri-
cans To the German. his country
without his Emperor would be an
anomaly The Hohenzollern line. for
hundreds of years, has lived among
our people. has expressed our ma
tional ideals. The Emperor is not
forced upon US, or over us. or above
US He truly is of the people.
Many Americans think German
Americans are less patriotic because
they retain this affection for the
Emperor of the Fatherland. That is
not the case. Germans in this land
would be the first to go to war in

MUSICAL America faces an oppor-
tunity as great and significant as
commercial America confronts, as
the result Of the present European
struggle.
The war has dealt a blow TO
music on the Continent, but in the
wars wake will follow a musical
awakening like that which occurred
after the war In the '10's.
These are the opinions of Heinrich
Hammer, former director of the IA
nous Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra.
and for several years conductor OF
the Washington Symphony Orches-
ira.
of course, the war dealt an i'm
mediate blow to music" Mr.. Hammer
explained. The extent of that blow
may be realized when one knows
that more than 100. 900 musicians are
fighting in the German army now.
How many musicians are numbered
among the allies forces l do not
know. but the representation prob
ably is large.
The force of the Berlin Philhar-
monte, Of which ! was leader at
one time. has not suffered so much
because the musicians are older men.
But such splendid orchestras as the
Bluthner are nearly depleted. OF the
seventy-five members of that body
only thirty-two are left.
Perhaps the most magnificent
expression Of patriotic feeling among
musicians occurred at Bayreuth.
There a performance of Parsifar
was in progress when the news that
war had been declared was an
nounced. Musicians dropped their
instruments, the performance was
brought to a halt, and the men of
the orchestra went forth to enlist"
How America Benefits.
Despite the partisan feeling exist
ing among some folk in this country,
which Mr.. Hammer deprecated, he
said he was gratihed that no express
sion had so far been reported against
German music. such as that which
occurred in London when French
compositions were substituted for
German music In programs Of the
principal symphony orchestras. But
all the while. he stated, orchestras at
popular concerts, and bands on the
streets, continued to play the music
of Wagner and Strauss. And be-
cause of the popular feeling against
allowing passing political difficulties
to affect the lasting expressions Of
art the German compositions have
been restored in London.
This war will affect American
musical development beneficially In
two ways Mr.. Hammer continued.
Orchestra musicians who long have
been waiting an opportunity here
now will be called upon. The idea
which long has worked to handicap
American musicians. that a foreign
musician. because OF his birth. is
superior to Americans. will be over
come.
Then. again, the $500, 900 which
II is estimated has been spent by
