NEW SOUNDLESS CHOIR
LULLS JOHN DIS CHURCH
Organist Gone, Singers at Ser
vice Burst Into Sweet Silence.

Tarrytown, \. Y, Oct. 4.-lnstead of
singing Rock of Ages" the members
of John d. Rockefeller's First Baptist
Church here are now engaged in tossing
verbal missiles at other fellow church
vocslizing stars.
Yesterday the choir struck because
Professor Robert c. Jones, the organ
ist, ~ho has pulled the stops for nearly
fifty years, has handed in his resigna-
tion under circumstances that many or
the worshippers believe demand an ex-
planation from Edwin l.. Bennett,
chairman of the music committee.
Mr.. Rockefeller is neutral.)
Mr.. Bennett is the town undertaken.
There wasn't a sign of trouble when
the congregation gathered for the SER
vice in the First Baptist Church yester-
day morning. The printed cards an
nouncing the hymns were placed IN the
hands of each attendant on arrival, and
apparent conditions promised a regu-
lar, calm proceeding.
But when il came time for the choir
TO enlist in the general effort to pro-
mote the circulation of musical sound
the only members of that chancel or
ganization to raIse their voices were
three of the volunteer choristers and
the paid soprano.
After the service-during which little
was considered save the choir detection
groups of the older members OF the
church assembled and decided that the
situation should not last. Fifty mem
bers who are in sympathy with Pro-
fessor Jones ordered that petition be
printed protesting against the organ
lists resignation and calling on the
board Of trustees TO call meeting OF
tho church congregation on October "a
to investigate the reasons for the resig-
nation.
Professor Jones refused to-day to say
ANYTHING. Nor would the members OF
his choir talk. When Mr.. Bennett was
asked 10 give the details OF the trouble
he answered that there was no occasion
for comment. The protesting churcn
members say they will demand full
explanation on October "a.

Thirteen Americans Die
Fighting for France
De Witt Cintons Kin with Foreign Legion Unit That
Fell in Champagne Attack-Wounded Doctor
Crawled Through Trenches to Aid Sufferers

rade stretched upon the ground. The
hypodermic and the morphine were
/ brought into action long enough to
bring temporary relief, and on Wheeler
plodded. This pace, interrupted by
frequent stops, kept up until he was
found exhausted and carried back.
In Paris tonight Dr. Wheeler's
heroic actions were the chief commen,
of Americans. When ne left this city
it was because he wanted to see more
life, more excitement, and this he
found in the trenches on the Cham
pagne.
Germans Taunted Allies.
1t was in this battle that the Ger.
man soldiers almost kept the promise
they made to the enemy just befor,
the attack was begun. Men in the frs
rank of the Allies were compelled e
submit to the taunts of those lined W
against them only a short distanc'
away When the battle was over, i
J. was their proud boast, there would b'
nothing left of all the regiments. They
would wipe them out completely, they
continued to proclaim.
After the conflict was ended il was
found that the old I'd Battalion of the
1st Regiment had been decimated
Only $50 men remained to tell their
experiences, and the entire second bat
talon of the old I'd Regiment was
swept away by the fierce onslaught.
But these losses on the part of the
Allied troops had not been accom-
plished without disastrous effects to
the Germans. The enemy had pierced
their guard in the second attack upon
the trenches, and penetrated to vital
point in the third line. This was the
work of the volunteers of the Foreign
Legion.
The old I'd Regiment had seen SER
vice in the Vosges. but was brought TO
Champagne to join the old lst shortly
before the attack started. At that
time all the members of the Legion,
who were citizens of the Allied ma
tions, were told they could take their
choice-join their own armies or be
drafted into the regular French troops.
Single Regiment Left.
This option reduced the Legion to a
single regiment, and il was sent into
the first line trenches to have a gem
eral look at the surrounding country.
Soon, however, it was withdrawn when
conditions became dangerous. This was
before the first attack.
According to the lists which were
brought to Paris to-day, thirteen Amer

to reports which reached Paris to-day,
has been shot to pieces in the fighting
in Champagne.

lets lodged, are among those whose
names are on the wounded list.
Boston Surgeon Hero.
These are the reports which have ar
rived at the places in Paris where
Americans gather. With them comes
the tale of the heroism OF Or. DAVID
Wheeler, the Boston surgeon, who quit
the comparatively safe ranks OF the
ambulance corps because he could not
find enough excitement in the work ne
was doing. The story of the physi-
clans bravery in caring for the wound
ed stands out as one of the most human
stories of the entire war.
Suffering intense pain, DR.. Wheeler
crept along the battlefield, refusing
the protection afforded him, that he
might minister 10 the needs OF the men
in the trenches groaning from their IN
juries.
