OPERA LACKS PASSION,
BUT MUSIC PLEASES
Norwegian's First Attempt Produced
in Germany-1s Not Highly
Praised.

BERLIN. May 8.-Herr Sindings Der
Heilige Berg" the Norwegian composers s
nrst opera. was produced recently in the
Hoftheater. at Dessau. in Anhalt. The
work had a very good reception from
the public, but critics do not praise it
highly. The truth is that Sinding's
genius is much more lyrical than dra-
matte. The music is said to be very
beautiful in parts and its workman
ship thorough and scholarly; but it is
deficient in real passion. and gives the
impression that the composer Is follow
ing his models too closely and has not
chosen a medium in which he Is happy.
The hero Of the opera is young
Greek monk named Dion.
His father, Phokas. formerly a monk
of the monastery If San Georgia, on
NJ ount Athos, has left the monastery
and tasted the delights of piratical ad-
venture. In one of these escapades the
brother and father of his wife. Myrrha
are killed by his men. Myrrha deserts
Pholsas who in revenge tears Dion from
his mother and consigns him to the old
monastery. where he Is to be educated
by the monks and to have no knowledge
of women. The plan fails because
Myrrha sends a girl named Daphne to
take q message to her son. Dion falls
furfously in love with her. There is q

ST. PETERSBURG. May 1.-THE sober
Russian Easter. on which many were
congratulating themselves, ended in
pandemonium of drunkenness without
precedent in recent years In st. Peters
burg. The closing Of the monopoly dram
shops for the first three days appears
to have aggravated the thirst of the
public for vodka. and the public hastened
to satisfy itself in excess the moment
the sale was resumed. 1t Is estimated
that over 2o.oo0 persons of both sexes
we're dealt with by the police for being
found incapable in the public streets,
, while the hospitals were unusually full

SUICIDES ON INCREASE
AMONG RUSSIAN TROOPS
Startling Figures Printed Show
Growing Manifestations Rea-

Foreign Correspondence Of Tho star.

Foreign Correspondence Of The star.
ST. PETERSBURG. May 6.-The Raj
vedchik. the semi-ofiicial organ Of the
Russian army, published some startling
figures about the extent Of the suicide
mania among Russian troops. quoting a
report recently presented to a Moscow
learned society by a well known military
surgeon, DR.. Prozoroff. 1t appears that
in 1905 no fewer than 144 cases OF sui
eide occurred in the Russian army. In
the following year the number rose to
1872. Since then 1t steadily kept on grow
ing. being 210 in 1907. 242 in 1908, 263 in
1909, 26S in 1910, 347 In 1911 and 4O5 in
1912. Within seven years. therefore, the
number of suicides increased about $50
per cent.
The figures for 1918 have not yet been
published. but. according to DR.. Pro-
zoroff. already the first eight months OF
the year showed 377 cases Of suicide and
1S9 cases Of attempts at suicide. That
this mania Is not confined to common SOL
diers is shown by the fact that out of the
"77 cases of suicide just mentioned y oc-
CURED among officers.
Insanity and Alcoholism.
1t is significant that the greater part
officially connected with insanity and al
coholism, and then follow as the causa
causans, in the case of the common SOL
diers. 'unpleasantness in the service
and longing for home. and. In the case Of
officers, pecuniary difficulties and roman
tic sorrows.
1t is pointed out that a large portion of
the troops are stationed in desolate places
in central Asia or Siberia, which Is bound
to have an effect on the psyche of the
Russian soldier. Only to a slighter de-
gree operates in the same direction the
pretty general rule to draft the recruits
for service in other localities than those
in which they are raised. so that a SOL
dier from Little Russia often finds him
self condemned to live three years amid
strange surroundings In Poland, whose
language even is unknown to him, and a
soldier from Poland has to pass the most
impressionable years of his life. say, in
the Caucasus or the wild solitude of the
Perm forests.
Again. it is considered that the pro-
longation of the term of military service
from three to three and a half years, as
recently decreed, is not likely to AFFORD
relief to the depressed spirits of those
who are inclined to fret after their
homes.

DESCENDS INTO VOLCANO
WHILE CRATER is ACTIVE
Hungarian Engineer Discounts Feats
at Vesuvius in Stromboli Ex-
ploit-Wore Asbestos,

MILAN, May 6.-An exploit which
throws into the shade Prof Malladra's s
daring descents of the slumbering crater
of Vesuvius has just been achieved by a
Hungarian engineer. Arpad Kirner, who
descended into Stromboli to a depth of
$50 feet while the volcano was in a state
of activity. The engineer is here en- route
for Paris, where he will publish a scien-
tific report Of the expedition
By way OF preparation for the descent
Kirner donned a complete suit of as
bestos material with an asbestos mask
and a metal helmet for protection against
the rain Of volcanic material. He was
also provided with an oxygen breathing
apparatus. Upon him was installed a
system Of electric telegraph wires which
ran through the rope used in the descent.
Hauled to Safety in Collapse.
By pressing a button in his waistband
an electric lamp at the top end signaled
to his companies on the edge Of the
and when finally hauled to safety was in
a state Of collapse.
During the latter stage of the return
climb inside the crater his supply Of
oxygen gave out. and he was tornented
by the powerful fumes. He was. more
over. covered with wounds and bruises
caused by stumbling among the stones
and lava detached from the walls of the
crater.

the views obtained are of uneXampled

DAUGHTERS PATERNITY
ST|RS WAGNER FAMILY
Suit at Bayreuth to Compel Recog-
milton as Famous Com
poser's Child.


BERLIN. May 6.-An unedifying
family squabble has at last brought
up for judicial determination the
vexed question of how many of Frau
Cosima Wagner's children can claim
paternity of the great operate COM
poser and how many are the offspring
of her first husband, the pianist and
conductor. Hans Won Bulow. The
case, which was opened at Bayreuth,
takes the form of an action by Frau
Isolde Beidler, wife of the Munich
conductor, to be recognized as the
daughter of Richard Wagner.
This suit is based upon the follow :
ing circumstances: CosIma Wagner
five children were all born during her
first marriage, which was finally dis
solved in January, 1870, but there has
never been any question that Richard
Wagner was the father of the two
youngest. Siegfried and Eva, who is
now the wife of Mr.. Houston Stewart
Chamberlain, author of. THE Founda-
tions of the Nineteenth Century Just
as certain does it appear to be that
Bulow was the father of the two eld-
est daughters. Daniela and Blandino.
only in the case of Frau Cosima' 8
third daughter, Isolde, the present
plaintiff. does there seem to have been
any doubt. On certain biographical
works she is entered as the offspring
of Bulow. but in others she is de-
scribed as belonging rightly to her
mothers second union. Among the
latter authorities is one of so much
weight as Glassenapp. according to
whom Wagner and Cosima Won Bu-
lows sense of belonging to one anoth-
er asserted itself in '64.'
In the official notice of Richard
Wagner's death, published in Bay
reuth in 1883. mention is s1nade of his
widow Cosima and children of his
marriage, Isolde. Eva and Siegfried."
Believed She Was Wagner's Child.
Frau Beidler herself pleads that until
the middle OF last year she had been
under the firm belief that she was
Richard Wagner's daughter. Some
| months previously professional differ
ences of opinion had arisen betwees her
husband and Siegfried Wagner. and this
quarrel led to an estrangement between
herself and her mother. Eventually all
friendly intercourse between the two
| households ceased. Then, June 80 1913,
! she received letter from a lawyer,
which, on SieSfried WagnerS instruc-
| tions. was addressed to her as Frau
| Isolde Beidler. nee Won Bulow.
| Frau Cosmima Wagner replied some
| what orcularly in letter, Of which
| she had written merely the signature,
that her daughter had created d situa-
! tion which demanded judicial decision =
! Acting upon this hint Frau Beidler
| brought the present actios against her
| mother.
1t appeared from counsel's statement
| that the marriage between Wagner and
| cosima Won Rulow actually took place
| before the decree dissolving her first
| union became absolute, but he added
| That. OF course. no one would think of
contesting its legality on that ground.
