New Symphony by Strauss
Wins Unreserved Approval

A description of the first presentation

Symphony" the latest work of Dr.
Richard Strauss, which is heralded by
music critics of the German capital as
the greatest symphonic work that has
been written for many years, has been

A Day in the Alps.

The symphony" writes Mr.. Spier,
represents, in sound, a day spent in
the Alps. The episodes are as fol-
lows: Night, sunrise, the ascent, hunt
ing horns in the distance, in the wood,
wandering beside the brook, waterfall,
vision, in towering meadows, in the
pasture land, on misleading paths

the glacier, dangerous moments on

although Strauss has thus given
titles to the various parts of the sym

"The motifs in themselves are ex-
tremeiy simple, with their accompany
ing harmonies consisting largely of
plain triads. Strauss also does not
hesitate to make abundant use of the
old reliable dominant seventh and tonic
chords. For these reasons the Alpine
symphony seems TO denote an epoch in
his development. He has returned to
the simple and the beautiful. Whether
he followed this course in this instance
because he was convinced that the
nobleness and purity of nature requir-
ed similar qualities in a translation
into music or whether he has out
grown the love of departure from tra-
dition which characterizes his earlier
compositions. remains an open ques-
ton, but surely, his new symphony
of the Alps is picture of the utmost
grandeur, yet easy OF comprehension
and marvellous in its fundamental sim
plicity.

USEASINESS AMONG HIGH

flicting press dispatches to-day con-
cerninS the sinking of the Italian liner
Anconn caused uneasiness among high
government officials. which was inten-
sified through their failure to receive
any official information from either
Ambassador Page at Rome or Ambas-
sador Penfield at Vienna
Secretary Lansing read without COM
ment dispatches purporting to give the
official views of the Italian and Aus
trian governments. the former claiming
the Ancona was torpedoed by Ger
man submarine while her boats were
being lowered, and the latter admitting
that an Austrian submarine was respon-
sible, but declaring that ample time
was given passengers and crew to es-
cape.
Until the embassies at Rome and
Vienna cable definite information the
American government will be unable to
take any steps automatically.
The Austrian statement as quoted In
dispatches makes it appear that the
Ancona. after being halted, did not put
her passengers Off I'm the boats In tho
forty-fivc minutes time given for that
purpose. The appearance of another
steamer is given as the reason for
torpedoing the vessel at the end OF that
period
Although the United States has in
sisted that vessels carrying noncom-
batants be not sunk without warning,
no case has yet developed the view OF
the Washington government as to what
time is considered ample for the pur-
pose beyond the general statement that
all passengers should he removed to n
place of safety, as provided In the
