EUROPEAN WAR DOES NOT
CURTAIL MUSIC
By Gustav A. Judd, Berlin, Germany.

By Gustav A. Judd, Berlin, Germany.
In some parts of the country the
European war has injured almost ev-
cry industry and profession, and mu-
sic has suffered just as other lines,
but generally war makes little differ
ence to music. The war, of course,
has taken away many musicians, but
there are bands and orchestras album
dant in all the cities Of Europe. 1t
is not only in the trenches where mu-
sic stirs, but in the cities it has done
more to stir patriotism than anything
else. Everybody knows that. The
people cannot get along without mu-
sic. That is why / am an optimist.
The United States after the war
doubtless will be the great music CEN
ter of the world. 1t is true that we
have to turn to the old world for our
greatest musicians, particularly plan
lists, but Americans are learning, and
developed. There are some great mu-
steal organizations in this country.
London has no such orchestra as the
one in Boston, and probably the only
one that surpasses it is in Berlin.
There was a time when the mus
clan affected long hair, as if to prove
his ability, but that time has passed.
A musician must have temperament,
of course, but temperament does not
cause insanity or eccentricity, neces-
sarily. The musician must be intel
%lectual. 1t takes three or fl r gen.
erations to make a great instr. en-.
talist.

ASQUITH SEES LONG WAR.

LONDON, July 28-The important statement was made by Prime Minister AsQuth this afternoon in the endurance and that the nations which hold out the longest will win He killed all hopes of speedy concus- ion of the conflict when he declared positively that such hopes can no longer be entertained and that the is certain to be long one. The announcement was made after long conference with Lord Kitchener and after weeks of careful surveying of the conditions He eX- pressed the belief that the country should know exactly what it has to face His words taken by the news papers to mean that the policy of promising short has been abandoned finally dangerous to the chances of Bran success because of the effect which such pol
 cv has had of rendering the people careless In his speech Asouth expressed full confidence that the resources of the British empire would be found adequate for the s
 nee test of endurance but he exhOrted the nation to rise to the great necessity In subtle manner he hnted that to the failure of Russia is due the creation of the con vction that the war must still continue for long period

 and Favorable Terms.

Anchorage will pay $15O towards defraying the expenses of the Seward baseball team and will give them a share in the gate receipts and the re- ceipts of the dance if the Seward players decide to make the journey to the new city and play three games, This is the offer brought over by G.

STREET WORK CAUSES
 TALK IN COUNCIL,
One Councilman Says Some Business People Threaten to Put Down
 Their Own Sidewalks.

At the meeting of the city council last evening Councilman Chamberlin asked for information about the street work and stated that some business people on Fourth avenue told him that if the work were not pro- ceeded with they will put in their own sidewalks. Councilman BOrgen said the cause of the delay was the fact that the required cement had not arrived. He further rather warmly declared that the men who are now making the complaints were the first men to ask for the improvements. He even said that such men are "buck- ing" the council and seemed to think that this was the reason for their complaints. Contractor Mantell told the council that he has sixty days lh which to complete the work, that he has the use of the streets for that period and that the work will be finished in time. In answer to Coun- cilman Daggett Mir. Mantell said the grading could not very we'll be done at present owing to the changes which have been made in the grading. Rather, perhaps, it should be said he answered a question as to why the grading could not be done while wait ing for the sidewalks by stating that the changes in grading made change of work.
 The proposal to raise the grade on Fourth street near the approach to the wharf at a maximum cost of $500 was accepted,

The municipal governing body met last night as committee of the whole with the members of the school board to receive and examine plans for the proposed addition to the school building. Plans were fur nished by Architects Kingsley Dona- hue, Winstadt and Mckenzie.
 Mir. Winstadt suggested using the basement for school rooms, which would enable the additions to be made at a cost of S2,5OO, but the board will hardly entertain the proposal, it is said. The other plans meant an ex- penditure that ranges from $S,5OO to S4,2OO.

The natural formation of the ground GaIpo peninsula has made it comparatively easy for the Turks to erect strong de- lenses In the west both sides have dug lines after lines of trenches and the taking of line by either side has only the effect of driving the enemy few yards back to theater, particularly in the Dardanelles front.

BRITISH FOR CONsCRIPTION.

LONDON, July 29-The greatest sensation of the war so far parliament is concerned and the hottest de- bate in the house of commons took place yesterday after when some of the members of the house urged inn mediate cOnscrption. Two members declared that the success of Great Britain depended compelling all men of military age to fight Others warmly opposed the idea and the debate waXed furious. It pointed out by the advocates of cOnScrpOn that Russia defeated the allies in the west not powerful enough to stay the German avalanche that will be let loose They even went so far as to declare that the life of the British empire de- bends on making every man a soldier and sending millions of troops to the front The labor members are the chief opponents of the proposal but of the rad ical members are equally energetic in opposition.

He is popularIy best known as the author of Germany and the Next war;" which was written in 1912 and; which has since been translated into nearly all European languages. Hun. dreds of thousands of copies of this work. in which Bernhardi forecasted some of the main features of the pres ent war, have been published in America, and it is still numbered among the .sbest sellers in the United States The militant ideas expressed

SEPARATING sWEETHEARTs

Dear Miss Libbey:-
 am a young girl who has kept company with a young man love, and who I had every reason to be- lieve thought as much of me, for two years He used to come to see me four, evenings a week. This week he went away, sending me q card which stated he was in search cc job. He had good employment here, but his father does not want him to go with me, and told people he took that means to part us. Do you think the son loves me and will eor1e back?
 MISS S. M.
 Time alcne can answer your query as to whether your sweetheart means to be influenced by his fathers wish es-going away to sever the bonds be- tween you or to manful1y secure a position that will pefnait him to wed and come back and marry you. In the meantime, if love is in his heart, he will write you regularly, telling you of his hopes and aspirations, and his success. If you receive no word what ever from him as the days, weeks and months roll their slow lengths by, you must bring yourself to a realization of the .truth-it did not give his heart mich of a wrench to part from you at his parents bidding. That kind of 9 lover isn't worth having.
