HATE GERMAN MUSIC

GENEVA. Dec. 20.-German music
has been banished from all French
concert and theatre programs. A
number of French musical, pa .riotic
and other societies recently passed
resolutions urging the government to
prohibit the producing of German
operas by law for all times" There
Is opposition to this campaign of ha-
tired. however. Several musicians and
literary men of note have expressed
the opinion that the French music
lovers should not be deprived of the
work of the great German composers.
Even the Revue Bleue,' which
otherwise is very violent in it's denunc-
iation of everything German, comes to
the conclusion that German music is
not exactly danger to France and
demands that at least Beethoven.

SUBMERGED ROCK
 FOUND OFF ALASKA

SEATTLE. Sept. To- Giving still further proof of the value of wire drag surveys in finding submerged rocks that menace the lives of pas sengo 's travelling in the Cost waters, the Cnited States Coast and Geodetic Survey has discovered a submerged rock at the side of Clarence Strait channel It lies in such a position that In foggy weather 1t represented an unknown danger
 News of the discovery of the rock was announced yesterday by Inspec- tor J. F. Pratt of the United States Coast Geodetic Survey. with head quarters in Seattle. The rock was found by one of the survey services twoNyire drag parties now operating in Southeastern Alaska waters It has depth of twelve feet of water over it at mean low water and has a width of fifty-five yards at it's upper surface Kelp grows on the rock, but at nearly lll times except slack water Is lowed under by tidal currents 80 that it cannot be relied on as a mems of locating the hidden men ace.
 The rock Hes 1900 yards from Point Stanhope, in latitude 56:00:20 North and longitude 1S2:S6:45 West, and can readily be plated on the charts, as it's position coincides with the upper left-hand portion of the only eleven fathom sounding off Point Stanhope Two other rocks. both kelp-marlIed were discovered between the hidden peril and Point Stanhope. As Clarence Strait forms one of the most import ant channels in Southeastern Alaska waters, the charting of the sunken rock is of the greatest value to the travelling public.
 Last Spring the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey sent the two wire drag parties to Southeastern AL aslSa waters. The navigation menac- es discovered during the summer have justified the work many times over. according to mariners. adding greatly to the safety of both passen- gers and ships. There is a general demand in shipping circles as well as the travelling public on the Alaska routes that the government continue tho work-(Seattle Times)
