.SAINT.SAENS BRINGS
WAR SONG WITH HIN
French Composers Martial Air
Will Be Heard at San
Francisco Fair.
iRr Cable % rhe TrIbune.

Paris, May 1.-Camille Saint-Saens,
who sails to-day for the United States,
carries with him the martial song LA
Franchise" which he recently com
posed and set TO the words of the
poet, Miguel Zamacos, author Of the
Buttons" and other plays in verse
produced at the Theatre Francois.
The Partisan public has now caught
on to the song. 1t is sung in concert
halls, and the patrons join in the
chorus. This latest work Of the au-
thor of Samson and Delilah" is in
heroic measure, in five stanzas. The
first strophe is in major, developing
into a grand, sober, patriotic theme
in minor tones, somewhat in the ma
ture Of Mehups famous "Chant de
Depart" but different in treatment.
The refrain bursts forth with a
repetition in major, giving the superb
effect of brasses, drums and even salvos
of artillery. This war song of France
is considered by critics one of the
finest and at the same time one of the
simplest achievements of the master.
1t comprises four hundred words and
will be sung at the San Francisco Ex-
hibition. The chorus runs as follows:
March forth to crush the villany
Of bandits without honor or principle;
the war cry Of the Allies is human
right and justice"

attention at the beginning of the war,
M the bombardment. Forty-two cent?
metres is equal 20 16.4S inches, and a
shell Of this size might easily be
counted as l7-inch, the size previ-
ously reported a refugee from Dun
kirk who has Just arrived here says
these shells blasted crators 45 feet in
dIameters in some cases.
The following official note was issued
tonight concerning the Smelling Of
AAlkaIhs
"The bombardment Of Dunkirk by
heavy artillery is a new proof that the
Germans have not been able to pierce
our lines; nor have they obtained by it
any apprcciable result. They are striv-
ing to impress neutral opinion by these
manifestations, without military eff
Cacy.
From the viewpoint of the develop
ment Of the operations this lombard
ment is without Importance. Its effect
is entirely localized TO the destruction
Of a few houses and the killing Of
ueaceable inhabitants"

.PARISIANS SEE
FIRST WAR PLAY
ia Kommandantur," by Nj.
Fonson, Deals with Sacri-
fees of the BelgianS.

Paris, May LA Kommandantur,"
a three-act play, by Jean Francois Fon-
son, author of mile. Beulemans," was
given at the Gymnase last night. 1t is
the first serious drama dealing with the
war.
The play did not win the success
claimed for it by English critics when
it was recently produced in London. 1t
is merely a cinematographic picture of
the suffering and sacrifices OF a Bel
gian family in Brussels during the
German occupation. We see the Ger
man officers and soldiers, in their
gray-green uniforms, terrorizing the
peaceful inhabitants.
We see the father, a Belgian civil
servant, denounced as a spy by a
young Berliner who was his guest
barely a month before and failed in
counting the daughter Of the house.
Meanwhile, the daughters Belgian
fance is killed in the siege of Ant
werp. The young Berliner brings the
news, and is stabbed TO death by the
daughter.
The sentiment OF the French audi
ence was ;hat the play fails to attain
the intensity and emotion of the real
situation, especially as to the martyr
dom endured by the Belgians in behalf
of their country and the liberty of
Europe. The play, besides being ex-
ceedlngly painful, despite the authors
dramatic talents, elicits vigorous pro-
tests against the presence on the stage
in Paris of German uniforms.
II is well acted by Duquesne, Bour
and Beeman. Henry Bidou, critic Of
the journal des Debats," says: IAN
ancient Greek poet once put upon the
stage the misfortunes Of his country
and drew tears from the spectators.
A tribunal condemned the poet to
death, but we do not demand this
Jurisprudence be applied to NJ. Fon-
SON"
