Washington, Aug. 6.-Measures for
the relief of Americans in Europe ana
plans for observing the strlctest neu-
trality occupied the attention OF de-
partmental officials to-day, President
Wilson believing that these two pre-
sent the biggest problems for the
United States government to solve at
this stage of the European war.
The President, after sleepless
night, abandoned practically all thought
of the war situation to-day, spending
the day at the bedside of Mrs. Wilson
until she died, but the heads OF the
various departments were all active,
particularly Secretary Garrison, who
has charge of the charterlng OF steam
ships for the American refugees.
limitations have reached Mr.. CARR
son that the owners of the coastwlse
vessels are planning to hold up the
government, demanding excessive rates
for ships to bring the stranded Amerl-
cans home, but he made 1t clear that
he will vigorously resist the reported
attempt. The original tentative rate
to be charged, according to representa-
tives of the steamship companies, was
to be from SIC to $50 per gross ton
day, but Mr.. Garrison hears that the
connpanies now mean to charge double
these rates.
81 would consider such course rep
rehensible and unpatriotic," declared
the Secretary this afternoon, "and do
not purpose to let the government be
held uD."
Army Transports May Yet Be Used.
Mr.. Garrison was in conference with
the Third Assistant Secretary OF State,
William Phillips, several times to-day
regarding definite information about
the refugees. Until the State Depart
ment has some tangible facts about the
number of Americans, where they are
located and their wishes about return
ing, the War Department will not char
ter any vessels. No steamships have
vet been chartered, although Mr.. Car
rison has a complete list of nearly
every available ship and its location,
which will be revised from day to day.
Secretary Bryan is so intent upon
observing neutrality that he is guard
ing from the public all the information
received from the American diplomats
abroad regarding military operations
and reported battles OF the warning
powers. American diplomats IN Europe
are keeping the department informed
as we'll as the circumstances VIII per-
nit, but Mr.. Bryan has few announce
ments" to make, his statements to the
press relating almost exclusively to
peace treaties. =,
MIR. Bryan said that Germany had
not yet replied TO the representations
made yesterday regarding the order
prohibiting Americans from leaving
Germany during the mobilization pc
Rod. He attributed the delay 10 the
fact that the cable had been reported
cut. Germany was asked, he SAID, re-
garding the length Of time that Amer,
cans would probably be held and
whether arrangements could not DC

Mr.. Montagu-Nathan's book Of ne

many ways, while, on the other hand,
each compliments the. other. Both

complains, the producers in Paris and

press Elizabeth, under whom the new
entertainment became a fashionable
craze. Il was her favorite, Razoumov-
sky, who used his great influence in
favor Of native music and native mu-
sicians. Catharine II, too, protected
opera in Russia, but it is interesting to
learn that "the fact that music was
printed in Russia before her reign still
needs verifcation."
It is, however, with Glinka that the
real history of Russian music begins.
Says Mrs. Newmarket:
Russian society CROPPED its way
long and persistently toward an
ideal expression of nationalism in
music. Gifted foreigners had tried
to catch some faint echo Of the
folksong and reproduce it dis
guised in Italian accents; talented
but poorly equipped Russian mu-
sicians had exploited the music Of

of success, but without sufficient
conviction or genius to form the
solid basis of national school.
Yet all these strivings and aspira-
tions. these mistaken enthusiasms
and immature presentments were
not wasted. When the yearn-
ing after a musical Messiah had
acquired sufficient force, the right
man appeared in the person Of
Michael Ivanovitch Glinks.
He was the father of Russian. ma
tional music, and Russian opera was
born at the production Of his "A Life
for the Car" in 1886. In successive
chapters, mingled of biography and
musical exposition and comment, Miss
Newmarch deals with Dargomij sky
Serov, Rubinstein, Balakirey, Nous

kov and Tchaikovsky, ending with a
chapter which brings the book down
