Even though sunlight into darkness

Gradually larger and larger it grew.
Onward to It's journeys end it rushed,
While deep in tho depths of it's waters

Sometimes murmuring soft and low.

THE FIRST STARS.

Once there lived 4 beautiful angel.
who could fly high above the sky. This
angel wore lilies and other flowers
about her. but in the winter she could
not find any flowers to wear.
One evening as she was flying about
she look cd down and saw florist with
white lilies. She said ooh. how 7 would
like to have some lilies" So she went
down and gathered n number OF white
lilies and pinned them all on her. a
wind storm seemed to be coming, so she
hurried home. When she was above
the sky the wind began to blow 80 hard
that 1t blew all the lilies Off Of her.
They fell down and stopped mt tho sky.
These were known as the first stars.

ALBERT SPALDING
IN VIOLIN RECITAL
Large Audience Hears His Pro-
gramme of Dance
Music.

Albert Spaldng gave violin recital
yesterday afternoon devoted TO classic
and popular dance music, and Aeolian
Hall held an audience which was near
~ as large as any that has gathered
there this season. How much this was
due to the popularity of the programme
an how much to the violinist it would
be difficult to determine. Suffice it to
say that Mr.. Spalding is to-day one Of
the foremost artists now appearing on
the concert stage, and though he has
not yet fully realized himself, he is
none the less a viOlinist of great
technical mastery and considerable
imaginative vision. The latter quality
was not called upon yesterday to any
marked degree, as it was not needed.
Among the composers there were
Bach, Veracini, Kreisler, Brahms, Sara
safe and Mr.. Spalding himself, who
was represented by plantation song
and dance, alabama" In all that he
did there were grace, dash, fuency, a
warm. rich tone, and an ineisive
rhythm. 1t was the playing through
out of an artist Of temperament and
one who was master OF his instru-

MIME. VANDERVELDE
IN A FINAL PLEA
Woman Who Has Raised S270,-
600 for Belgians Speaks
Wednesday.

More than $4,000 a month has been
raised for Belgium by Nine, Lalla Van
dervelde, who will end, with a meet
ing, at Carnegie Hall, next Wednesday
March II, the five months campaign,
which she began in the summer resorts
last September. BY her own efforts,
Nine. Vandervelde has gathered S270,-
600, most of which has been sent as
food to Belgium.
Nine. Vandervelde said yesterday
that she wanted to correct the inn
preston some people seemed to have
that Germany got the food dispatched
to Belgium.
"The Germans do not help the Bel
gians. but they do not hinder others
from helping them" she said. Every
thing ] have been able to send has
gone straight to the Belgians, through
Mr.. Hoover, in London, and responsible
citizens in the Belgian towns. | want
to make that clear, for it would not
be honest for me to ask America 10
help my people if the Germans were
taking what they give"
The meeting at Carnegie Hall is a
farewell to Nine. Vandervelde. 1t is
arranged by her friends, with the as
sistance of the League for Political
Education. Nine. Vandervelde says she
will make it an occasion TO ask the
Americans not 10 stop giving TO the
Belgians.
"The need is still urgent" she said.
"There is whole country stripped, and
America must feed it. The people can
do without clothes, but they must eat. .
If she were not on a neutral errand
in a neutral country, Nine. Wander
velde said, she could tell Of many
astrocities. One story of injustice she
did relate.
"When a German takes a peasants
COW or horse" she said, "he gives him
a paper, purporting to be an order on
some German in the next town, for the
price of the animal. But when the
peasant gets there, he finds the order
is for the price Of rabbit, or a couple
of chickens"
The meeting promises to be large.
Joseph II. Choate will preside. Other
speakers will be James NJ. Beck, Fred
eric R. Coudert, Monsignor Lavelle, the
Rev. william T. Manning and L. Alex

found out how to impose his will on
the Emperor at time when the En-
peror's will was really supreme. There
were years during which he was per-
haps the only man in the Emperor's
official encourage who had his own way
about Departmental matters. The En-
peror would have liked to make
his brother, Prince Henry, supreme
over the Navy; but Nature had not
been notified in time of that imperial
wish, and for once capacity took prece-
dence over imperial rank and imperial
caprice, and Won Tirpitz continued TO
rule
lie continued also to determine qucs-
tions of policy. He and no other is
the author Of the present policy, if You
can call piracy policy. He was the
first TO announce il 10 the world; cyni-
cally; coarsely; with that contempt
for all opinion not German opinion
which now possesses the whole sew
enty millions of the Teutonic race mar
shallcd under purely Prussian rule.
That was a month ago, more or less.
The response of the world WIS not
oubtful-Germany on one side, the
rest of the world on the other. But
Won Tirpitz was not q man to threaten
and then consider whether he would
perform: When he turned Pirate it
was in good earnest. The Black Flag
was all ready 10 hoist. 1t is indis-
tinguishable from the German Flag.
What TO such a man rs this is the
voice Of Professor-President. even
though the United States said Amen
He thinks of the United States in
terms of guns and ships and immcdi-
etely available naval power. That ls
all We are to him. Away with such
things as laws Of war, moral laws, the
conscience of civilization. For Won
Tirpitz they do not exist. He has spent
hundreds Of millions on Fleet of
Battleships, bottled up in the kiel
Canal He dare not attack the English
Battleships. But he must do some
thing to persuade Germany that all
her millions have not been wasted, and
he makes war on merchantmen with
his submarines and mines.
| must admit that of this Won Tir-
pitz, whether as Navy Builder or mere
Pirate, there was little TO be seen in
America. He was embryonic. He had
in him the germ, the microbe if you
like. of all the good and i'll he has
since done and is now doing. None the
less, the image of him as | then saw
him still persists. There was nothing
to foretell his greatness in infamy.
Self-centred then as now; curious
dull CLEAN at times in the eyes; a ges-
ture of energy broken in the middle;
a sentence half uttered; note Of
command suddenly arrested; a man
in the making; invisible, unsuspected,
tiresome in talk; uncouth, with no
touch of the gentleman and almost
rothing of the man of the world; ut
terly German in his disregard of social
usages-that was Won Tirpitz.
