ATTILA, KING OF THE HUNS
Warrlor-earbarian Who Ravaged a
Great Part of Europe in the
Fifth Century.

Like the Huns under Attila' is a
phrase which is on everybody's lips
1t the present time. Yet comparative

1t was with these words that the
kaiser bid farewell ta.Iis troops when
they were dispatched to China to help
to put down the Boxer rising, Gain

tila," he told them, says London Tit
Bits. The significance of the advice
will be appreciated when it is realized
that Attila was a barbaric chief whose
ravages in Europe about the begin
ming of the fifth century gained for
him the name of 'the Scourge OF God .
The leader of countless hordes of
Huns, who were a Mongol race which
crossed the Volga and struck terror
into Europe he was regarded by his
men with superstitious reverence and
by Christendom with superstitious
dread. Among the acts which were
committed by his direction were the
following:
Bleda, his brother and co-chieftain,
put to death.
sea and the Mediterranean devastated
and pillaged.
Thrace, Macedon and Greece over
run and 70 flourishing cities devas-
tated.
Several cities in Italy RACED to the
ground and their inhabitants put to
the sword.
Conquered peoples either killed or
| forced to follow in his train as prison
ers.
Yet for all this ruthlessness Attila
was magnificent soldier and a strik-
| ing personality. He was induced to
spare Rome from destruction by the
personal mediation of Pope Leo |, who
is said to have subdued his ferocity
into awe by the apostolic majesty of
his mien This deliverance was regard
ed as a miracle by the affrighted Ro-
mans, and old chronielers relate that
the Apostles Peter and Paul appeared
in Attila's camp and changed his pur-
pose.
Attila died on the night of his mar
riage with the beautiful Hilda-pos-
sibly by her hand. His death spread
CONSERVATION through the host of
Huns, who cut themselves with knives,
shaved their heads and then prepared
to celebrate the funeral rites OF their
king. His body was placed in three
coffins-the first of gold, the second of
silver and the third of iron The ca
PARSONS of his horses with his arms
and ornaments were buried with him
while the captives employed to make
his grave were all put to death so thai
none might betray the last resting
place of Attila, king of the Huns

Writers of war-past and Present


What wars | have seen have taken
place in spots isolated and inacces-
sible, far from the haunts of men. BY
day you followed the fight and tried
to find the censor, and at night you sat
on cracker box and by the light of a
candle struggled to keep awake and to
write deathless prose. In Belgium it
was not like that. The motor car
which Gerald Morgan of the London
Daily Telegraph and | shared was of
SURPRISING beauty, speed and comfort.
1t was as long as Plant freight car
and as yellow; and from it tapped in
the breeze more English, Belgian,
French and Russian flags than fly

we dashed the flags of its country to
our headlights, and at so miles an hour
bore down upon it.-Richard Harding

 "One thing that have learned through experience, and that is, that playing over pieces for pupils, either with or for them, as teachers used to do in days gone by, unless indeed it is done after the pupil has originally expressed herself in it is a mistake In order to bring out all the originality of a pupil I have evolved the idea of mentally depicting the composition to them. thus giving them the opportunity to express intelligently their own ideas of the composition with certain tone pro- auctions and pedal effects. I have also found in my experience as a teacher that playing the same selection to two or more pupils produces only one effect-that of imitation-each pupil playing the piece exactly alike and this, of course, Is un- fair to the pupils and deprives them of intelligent originality in the matter of expression. Certainly the difficult pass ages must be played by the teacher, actual d. monstration of such instances being necessary, but the pupils own originality may be developed only through careful analysis of the different movements, speed, dynamics and effects desired and rect pedaling, and in order to achieve this there must be mental vision back of it

Neither claims to be prod igy, but each is a normal clever child, who has progressed naturally with her work.
 Little Ella Lee Redin is only B years old. while little Miss Crabbe is just 16. and each in her way is an artist
 The two little girls are as different in temperament and disposition as it is pos sible to find two children, and yet they are tremendously alike in many respects.
 They are both Birmingham children, and have never studied with any one but Miss Rawley, except when little Miss Redin was abroad, when she studied in Paris.
 Both of these charming little girls play with distinction, and a clean cut under standing of their work, and in technique as well as interpretation they are remark ably skillful.
 Little Ella Lee Redin's rendition of the Mcdowell and Nevin numbers on the programme is unusually fine and in the final number (which is a "Valse' Of Schnetts, a two-piano piece she playing the first piano part she really rises 10 very artistic heights in her work.
