WAR DHMoRALIzEs MUSIC,
SAYS DIR. CARL, SO TODAY

DR.. William Crane Carl, perhaps
the most distinguished of American
organists, was born in Bloomfield, N
J., Just half a century ago today DR..
CLARK was in Europe at the outbreak
of the war, and was thus able to OBJ
serve at first hand the effect of
armed conflict upon the art to
which he has devoted his life AL
most in a moment musical Europe
was demoraIized, and martial music
of the harmonic art. The eminent
organist was in Switzerland when
hostilitiess commenced, and was four
weeks in getting to Paris.
Although the little mountain re-
public was not involved in the way,
the mobilization for the protection of
it's boundaries resulted in an inn
mediate ban on music. ftAs soon as
the mobilization was effected" said
DR.. Carl, music in the parks, cafes,
boats and even in the churches was
suppressed.
In France and Germany the roar Of
cannon drowned out all the sweet
harmonies of peace. stAt Bayreuth, -
said DR.. Carl, when the curtains
closed on the first act of tParsifaI,' the
day the troops were called, the art
lists, stage hands and all who were
eligible for military service inc1ud-
ing Siegfried Wagner, made q. dash
to respond, and the audience was
forced to leave without the compile
ton of the opera
In France DR.. Carl found all the
opera houses closed and music, ex-
eept that of the military bands, un-
der the official ban. In Switzerland
DR.. Carl met M. Maurice Kunerath,
the director of grand opera in Brus-
sells, where many stars, including
Me1ba, scored their first successes. I'm
all the countries at war a majority
of the leading musicians. including
organists, violinists, pianists and
singers, were sent to the front, and
in England DR.. Carl found that many
prominent musical leaders had vol
unteered, although the art had not
suffered SO severely as on the conti-
nent.
DR.. Carl was a pupil of Alexandra
Guilmant in Paris, and on his re-
turn to America opened the Gui1mant
Music School in New York. He has
made many organ tours of Europe
and America, including a trip to the
K1ondfke during the gold rush, being
the first concert organist to play 50
far north. DR.. Carl was one of the
founders of the American Guild of
Organists. and has long been recog-
nized as among the greatest of mod
ern organists.

tenpts were made to produce q
Siderable balloon, but it remained
for Santos Dumont, Count Zeppelin
and other modern inventors to create
practical dirigibIe balloons. About
the time of Blanchard's futile at
tempt to make his balloon answer to
a rudder, Horace Walpoie wrote q
letter in which he expressed doubt SIS
to whether either dirig1ble balloons
or submarines would ever prove
practical He said: "However, if the

FIRST BALLOON.

The frst attempt to navigate the
air in a balloon was made 1S1 years
ago today, March 2, 1884, when
Blanchard, the French aeronaut,
made an ascent from Paris in a ball
loon to which he had added wings
and a rudder. The ascent was made
in safety, but the wings proved use-
less and the big bag refused to re-

BREAK ENDS SENATE SESSION.
Progressive Republicans Vote With
FiIibusters and Force Adjournment.

Washington, Feb. 11.-Republlcan
and Democratic senators who oppose
the government ship purchase BILL
aided by Senators Norris and Kenyon,
Progressive Republicans, who have
stood by the bill, forced an adjourn-
ment last night of tne longest continu-
GUS session in the history of the SEN
ate.
upon the adjournment, after fifty
four hours and eleven minutes OF
continuous debate, leading members
of both houses of Congress conceded
that an extra session to be called soon
after March l seemed inevitable.
There wers some, however, VINO
still hoped that there yet might be
time to dispose of appropriation bills
and the ship purchase measure In
some form before adjournment.
Adjournment came on motion
made by Senator O'Gorman, which pre-
vailed by AS to 4G, after Senator Nor
ris. deploring the fatiguing filibuster,
had proclaimed his conclusion that op-
ponents of the ship purchase bill
could filibuster it to its death.
