Fritz Kreisler. the great yfolinfst, who

of c. A. Ellis Of Boston makes the
remark that the gigantic upheavaI
which changed the fundamental con-
ditions Of life over night and threat
ened the very existence OF nations,
naturally dwarfed the individual into
nothingness. Its effect on Kreisler
was to change him in twenty-fou-
hours from one of the most famous
personalities in the world, to an OBJ
scure lieutenant commanding a pla-
toon Of fifty-five men in the Thrill
Jaeger regiment OF Graz The level
ing operation of CONSUMPTION in Aus

privates in Kreisler's platoon were a
painter. two college professors. 4
singer Of repute. banker and post
official Of high rank Until early
October when his wife met him at the
station in Vienna as he was being
brought back from the field hospital.
Fritz Kreisler, the greatest violinist
of our time. was S Ibmerged in Lieuten-
ant Kreisler, very small unit in the
great Austrian army which strove with
little success to hurl back the tidal
wave of Russians sweeping over the
frontier Of Galicia. August 10, 1914
found Lieutenant Kreisler in a troop
train on its way from southern Austria
to the battle front around Lemberg.
September found this same Lieuten-
ant Kreisler being carried from tha
trenches on the back of his orderly to

gaping wound made by a cossack's
lance in his leg and badly bruised
