The blowing up at sea of an Atlantic
liner. either the Cunarder Saxonia or the
American liner Philadelphia, was in
cluded in the campaign Of destruction
mapped out by Frank Holt Two hours
before Holt killed himself in the Nine
ola Jail on Tuesday night Police Com
missioner Arthur II Woods received
telephone message telling him that in
a letter TO his wife In Dallas. Tex. Holt
had forecast the destruction OF big
passenger ship yesterday. The letter,
apparently written several days ago.
read:
"A steamer leaving New York for
Liverpool should sink. God willing, on
the seventh. think It is the Philadel-
phia or the Saxonia. but am not quit
sure. as. according to schedule. these
two left on the third"
When Mrs. Holt received the letter
from her husband she revealed its con-
tents to her father, who then con-
suited his friend, former Gov. Colqutt
Of Texas. Mr. Colquitt is believed to
Washington by telegram. The telephone
message to Commissioner Woods was
from Major Pullman. Superintendent Of
Police OF the District of Columbia.
Navy Warnings Sent.
Before Major Pullman telephoned the
Navy Department had sent warnings by
wireless not only to the Philadelphia
and the SaXonia but TO all other steam
ships which left New York last Satur-

LUSITANIA PROTEST CALLED WAR THREAT

ANY one who reads this note with
an unbiased mind cannot help gaining
the impression that Great Britain's AM
bassador I'm Washington was not far
away when II was drafted. One can
quite as easily imagine the text as far
as IL treats of the matter itself. TO be
speech by Mr. Asquith in the British
House of Commons.
THE American Government In the
tone of deep disapproval, demands the
discontinuance of our submarine war
against British commerce, II emphasizes
its non-recognition of the German speci-
fication of certain waters as constituting
a war zone.
I'VE take the liberty to call the atten-
tion OF the American Government to the
fact that the declaration OF a war zone
is not German invention, but that the
British Admiralty was the first to de-
clare certain seas to constitute war
zone. that besides II laid a tremendous
mine field In the open sea. thereby
closing the sacred seas The American
Government has had no objection OF
consequence to register against these
British measures hitherto unheard OF.
Accuses Britain.
"And now. after the German submarine
warfare against British commerce has
lasted three months. after the British
Government through the swindle with
neutral flags and insignia. through the

that such a demand was at all made,

MUSIC
Yesterday's Concert

Poetry" says Francis Grierson, "af-
fects the heart and the mind; music af-
fects tho heart and the nerves. 1t would
be decidedly worth while to record the
nervous states of normal person, could
he be found, at yesterdays concert of the
Philadelphia Orchestra, because not one
of the orchestral numbers was nevroseC
yet each had it's nervous effect.
Certainly the auditor of sensibilities, II
he had to listen to Mr.. Stokowslds read
ing of the "Mcistersinger" prelude at the
beginning of the program, would have
cried out at 1t. To make Wagner febrile
and "Die Meistersnger" dull is certainly
an achievement in Interpretation. For
tunately, before it, Mr.. Stokowski had led
the smooth overture to "Fidelio" and the
'divine adagio" of Beethoven's fourth
symphony. And completely to redeem his
work, Mr.. Stokowski put all his energies
into THE Flying Dutchman" and
achieved all it's sonorous powers.
The playing of the orchestra in the
symphony and in the two overtures re-
flected somewhat the criticism which the
New York trip had evoked. The strings,
in spite of successive mishaps, sang well,
and the brass labored with some success
to acquire a tone which would be sweet,
yet not lack strength. 1t was again made
evident that of the choirs OF the orchestra.
the wind is The one which ean be depended
upon with the greatest degree of assur-
ance not to falter or misbehave. 1t seldom
reaches the height of the string choir
when that organ is at its best. But 1t
does not yield to weakness or to dulness
SO frequently.
Miss Elena Gerhardt was the assisting
artist She sang, first, an aria of Goetz,
but those who had heard her before could
hardly forgive her for singing an aria at
ALL Miss Gerhardt's work in the singing
of lieder is so marvellous that one would
have her forever at it. She sang three
songs of Wagner and sent memories flying
TO the "Dichterliebe" and TO every other
song cycle of beauty with the wish that
she might sing them. Her "Traeume" was
rich in voice, a soprano which even in Its
lowest notes remains clear and fine, yet
misses none of the dramatic power of a
mezzo tone And the artistic moderation
which fulfilled that song. and the others,
was so humanly and so nobly right that
the superb technique behind it passed un-
noticed. SO that the artist seemed for the
moment to stop singing and seemed TO
communicate feeling directly TO feeling.
