NO NEW WAR SONGS.

Berlin. April 29.-The fact is be-
ginning TO attract attention that the
war has not yet yielded in Germany
a single musical composition of note.
4 number of composers have brought
out so-called Hindenburg marches.
but not one of these has attracted
public attention: the average German
has not even heard one OF them. No
new war song has attained even the
slightest degree of popularity. New
war poems in considerable numbers
have been written but they are all
sung to old, we'll established melo-
dies; yet they have failed to catch
the popular ear. The soldiers con-
tinue to sing the traditional national
songs, like the watch on the Rhine"

les" and others. What few new things
they do sing are for the most part
melodies from comic operas.

Chicago. April 29.-Ministers in
the Congregational churches of the
northern states receive, as an average,
an annual salary OF less than $500,
Rev. Francis l.. Hayes, western secre-
tary of the annuity fund for congre-
gational ministers. asserted yesterday
before the national convention of the
board of conference claimants of the
Methodist Episcopal church. The
convention is being held in the inter-
est of a $1O,00O,00O fund for retired
ministers.
Mr.. Hayes said that less than per
cent. of the Congregational churches
pay ministers an annual salary Of
$4,000 and upwards; more than half
not over $1,000. and one quarter not
more than $500.
THE underlying reason why every
member of the Grand Army OF the
Republic receives a pension with the
general approval of the people is the
nations sense of obligation. II is
time that the churchs sense of obli-
CATION should rise to the same evel."
