ONE VERY SILENT FOURTH.

No starry banner was unfurled;
No patriots whooped a cheer;
10 bells rang out to tell the world
The glorious Fourth was here.
No grand parades marched up and down
Tho starry spangled ways,
To stand for liberty and crown
The day Of an our days.
No popping crackers raised a din
From oregon TO Maine,
No reckless little boys got in
The list Of MANNED and slain.
No eaele screamed from height TO height;
No bands We're out TO play;
No blazing fireworks made the night
As brilliant as the day.
No Declaration anywhere
Was read TO cheering throngs,
No oratory filled the air,
Nor patriotic songs.
And yet It was July the Fourth.
As sure as you're alive.
But listen-it was July 4th
or l775.
See?

CHOUT of the glory our ancestors
won;
Let the Declaration be proudly
read;
Tear hole through the roof with the
rusty gun;
Cause the dogs to hide or to flee in
dread;
Let the cars and the kings of the world
be told
OF the pride and the strength of
freeborn race;
Let the welkin ring is It rang Of old;
Make the and we claim an uproari-
Gus place;
Shoot and shout all the glorious day;
Whoop of the greatness of freeborn
men,
But remember the nose that is shot
away
Will never grow on your face again.

HIDDEN MUSIC FOUND;
SEARCH FOR COMPOSER
Mysterious Score Has Merit-Author
May Have Been Bricklayer Work
ing on Building.

Philadelphia, Aug. Found in a min
iature vault constructed in the founda.
ton of a boiler in the subbasement OF
the Bellevue-Stratford Hotel Yesterday
when workmen were tearing away the
brick work. a musical composition of
unusual merit has created much discus
sion. The composer is being sought by
]. NJ. Frazier. manager of the hostelry,
in order that his musical efforts car Oh
tain their just reward.
The workmen came upon a space in
the boiler foundation about the size of
two bricks and in this miniature vault
was found wrapped in a newspaper not
only the complete original musical COM
position. but several pages of pencil and
ink portions of the work.
The unusual find was taken to Mr.
Frazier, who called Uriel Davis musical
director of the hotel. into conference.
Davis examined the find and pronounced
it an exceptionally beautiful compost
ton.
The name of the composer, Albert STAG
clio, is unknown to all connected with
the hotel. The work bears the date
March "a. 1904 This leads all to believe
that the composer vas a workman in
ore of the briCklayer gangs that worked
upon the hotel when its construction was
started.
Just what motive led the composer to
hide his efforts in such a manner, espe-
cially where every chance was against
1t ever being found, cannot be determined
by those who have examined the COM
position. Davis and all who have exam
tned it predict for it great popularity
and plans for its publication are goirg
abe ad.

By FREDERICK WERNER.

Berlin, Aug 7.-Devastation unparallel-
ed in the present war is being wrought
by the Russian army of Grand Duke
Nicholas as he falls back before the ad-
vance of the Austro-German troops in
Poland. Railroads are being torn up.
bridges destroyed, and towns and vii.
lagos given over to flames. Food sup
plies that cannot be carried along are de-
stroyed and crops wiped out Nothing
that could be of any value to the Austro-
German armies is being left behind.
The outer forts OF Novo Georgievsk are
being vigorously bombarded by the Ger
mans. Novo Georgievsk is now COM
pletely isolated and German military ex-
perts predict its early capture. along
with the army of abou. $1,000 men that
is believed to be in the fortress.
Novo GeorEievsk Big Camp.
Novo .Georgievsk. which lies upon the
Vistula about twenty miles northwest Of
Warsaw, is not city. but a big en-
trenched camp. guarded by powerful
forts of modern construction. 1t was one
of the natural strongholds discovered by
Napoleon in 1907, and as long as the Rus
slams hold it the Germans will be unable
10 use the Vistula River or the railway
line running south from Soldau for the
transportation of supplies. The forts at
Novo Georsievsk are situated on both
sides of the Narew River at the point
where il flows into the Vistula. The
fortress has two powerful citadels, eight
bridge head positions, and twenty-four
redoubts containing batteries of ten.
eleven and twelve-inch guns.
Gen. Won Buelow's army still is driving
against the Russian forces defending the
Warsaw-Petrograd railway in Courland.
and SO menacing has the situation be-
come south of Shawl and northwest of
Wilma that the Russians are reported to
be evacuating Kovno on the Vilna-Libau
railway line.
Immediately west of the Bug River in
the southeastern theater of war, the
German forces of the command of Field
Marshal Won Mackensen have reached
Sawin. which is only sixty miles from
the Russian fortress of Brest Litovsk
kOvno First-class Fortress.
Kovno. which the Russians are report
ed to be evacuating, is fortress Of the
first class, and is the capital of a gov
eminent of the same name Gin northwest
Russia. 1t has been stated that kovno
was to form the northern head of the
new Russian line consisting of kovno.
Grodno and Brest Litovsk. The city has
a population of about $1,000.
Only meager dispatches have come
through from the front bearing upon the
situation in the immediate sector of War
saw, but it is believed the grand army
of Russia has already retreated a con-
siderable distance eastward from Praga,
to which point it retired when Warsaw
was given up.
1t is expected Prince Leopold, Of Ba-
varia. whose troops entered Warsaw,
will be made German military governor
of the Polish capital, and that he will
thereupon issue proclamation granting
extensive political rights to the Poles.
