The Hugh Anderson operate
Quintette opened the program,
singing parts from the DO
hemian Girl and I'll Trovatore. :"
4 Their program lasted fully an
hour and the music lovers were
very loud in their praise of their
work. Each is finished artist
of marked ability and their sing
ing truly pleased the audience.
Lieut.. Lee Nichols of the Brit
ish army was then introduced and
for an hour and half held the
undivided attention of his hear
erS. Lieut.. Nichols does not give
the sort of lecture one would ex-
pect from man just out of the
trenches. He endeavors to give
the lighter side of trench life, the
happy hours spent by the men
while not on actual duty and the
many jokes played upon their
comrades. The gruesome side is
left out almost entirely, although
in some of his pictures it could
not be avoided entirely His idea
is that the newspapers feature
he worst side too much, so that
when man leaves for France his
friends and relatives are sure he
will never return, while statistics
Will show that war has now be-
come so SyStematiZed and a mat
ter OF machinery and mathemat-
les that the man has more thar
an even chance of returning and
almost as good chance of never
being wounded. These figures
did not apply when the war first
started, however. Lieut.. Nichols
says that the feeling in England
and France is the same as il. is
here in regard to the war and the
German people. He says the men
in the trenches hate to fire on .he
advancing Germans, as they re-
gard them as hut wheels i'm the
great war machine built up by the
German emperor and his staff,
land that the common soldier in
the German army is more of a
slave than ever was the negro in
the south. TO his mind there is
absolutely no doubt but that the
German war lords had everything
planned to everrun France and
Russia and then tackle England
and make Europe the German
empire. Their ambitions were
greater than Napoleon ever
dreamed and they would have
gone a long way toward being
fulfilled except for the wonderful
fight put up by little Belgium, to
whom the civilized world owes a
debt Of gratitude. Lieut.. Nichols

Local Boards Instructed to Make
Public Names ,of All Men Who
Claim Exemption,

) The Provost Marshal General
has sent the following telegram
to the governors of all states:
The names of all registered
men are on list arranged in the
order in which they will be called
for military service. Wherever
any registered person imposes
upon a local board and improper
ly secures a certificate of eXemp-
ton or discharge ne advances the
time of call of all other uncallcd
persons on the list.
For this reason every register
ed person and, TO some extent,
every person i'm The community is
more or less directly interested in
seeing that the true facts are
brought to the attention of the
government. For every local
board a person has been desig-
mated who will receive informa-
ton of such eases and take APP
peals to the district board or in
form the local board.
For This reason the public is
entitled to know grounds upon
which claims for exemption or
discharge are being asked by
registered men.
Local boards should therefore
be instructed Immediately to make
available to the press from day to
day the names OF persons claim
ing exemption or discharges, the
ground on which such claims are
based. and, i'm general, hr num-
Der of cases that arc being dis
posed of by the boards from day
to day. This instruction does not
apply, OF course, to discharges on
the ground of physical disqualifi-
cation.

chAurAuouA.

The 1917 Missouri Valley chau-
tauqua has opened in a most en-
couraging fashion and the pro-
gram gives promise of being one
of, if not the best, ever given to
Missouri Valley folks. Every
number thus far has been highly
pleasing and the platform man
ager assures us that the entire
program is winner.
1t is believed that the program
tomorrow will be one of the very
best. Mr.. Warren urges everyone
to hear Chancellor Buchtel in the
afternoon in his great lecture
America and the Great War. +"
He says that if the whole city
would shut up shop and go out to
hear him it would pay big ana
guarantees that all will be more
than pleased.
Tomorrow evening the Glare
Vaughn Wales Lyceum Players
will present one of the finest
three-act comedies now before
the public. These folks are real
artists and the play "Rejuvena-
ton" is high-class play. Come
prepared to have one OF the best
laughs in your life.

The music suggested by the tale il
that accompanying the procession, the
liturgical service in the cathedral. the
hymns in honor Of the Virgin, sung by
marching multitude in the streets
and sfterward in the cathedral. and
the dramatic strains which describe the
final scene, and to a slight extent the
appeal of the young man 70 the Virgin
as he knecls in prayer. The liturgical
music which is supposed to be sung by
the procession moving through the
streets is that Of nc Litany Of Mary
OF Lorctto. which dated back. sup
posedly, to the thirteenth or fourteenth
century. chanted antiphonally by Off
cient priest and people, and the Gregg
rian hymn "Sub Tuum presidium con-
fugimus."
The popular hymns in honor Of the
Virgin are two, "Sei gegrtsst vel
tausendmal" ("Hail to thee while thou
sands sing'O and Maria zu lieben list
albeit mejn Sim" ("St. Mary e'er low
ing, my heart is aaame'D. They have
the character Of folksongs, though they
are in all likelihood Of priestly origin.
The dramatic music, written in the
spirit of Wagner, mostly for orchestra,
though there is a Renaissance Of the
improvisation Of the organist in the
cathedral, is supposed to depict the
love-longing and heart-sickness of the
dying youth. The work as a whole,
therefore, becomes what is properly
described as a melodrana, and in set
ting forth its textual contents for the
purpose of this programme it seemed
wise to help the visual presentation of
the scene by the arrangement OF the
words and The addition of 2 few notes
having the form Of stage directions.
The three-part division follows the
plan Of the poet, though the music
would tolerate disruption by pauses as
little as the poem. The apparatus con-
sists of the bslladist proper, here des-
ignated as the Narrator; two mixed
choirs, one outside, the other inside
the concert room; a choir of boys and
men supposed TO occupy the organ loft

tripled woodward instruments, four
horns two trumpets. three trombones.

end the usual quota Of strings. Where
the factors are involved in the per
Torrance simultaneously the texts have
been brought into parallel columns.
Friedrich Klose, the composer, is the
son Of former Austrian military Off
Ger, and was born in Karlsruhe on No
vember ., 1852. He studied the violin
when eight years old, but his musical
education was Of such a desultory kind
that he was near sixteen when he had
his first look at an operate vocal score.
From the beginning he was an ardent
disciple of Wagner. Lisz; and Ber,ioz.
He took UP the study Il composition
under Vincent Lachner, then went to an
Italian named Provost, 'cellist and &C
companist in the orchestra at Geneva;
next to Adolph Ruthardt, and finally,
on the advice of Felix Mottl, to Anton
Bruckner. Besides the pilgrimage to
Kevlaar," his most important works are
an opera, "Ilsebill," and q symphonic
poem, "Das Leben Gin Traum" ("Our
Life Is a Dream").
