Monday Music Club.

Christine Miller, who is coming to
the Grand next Friday, under the
auspices of the Monday Music club
is unquestionably one of the most
popular concert singers on the Am
erican stage today.
In her manner there Is no affecta-
ton of superiority but sincere de.
sire to please her audience, and she
sings in understandable English. II
is not a case Of catching a word now
and then, but every word is audible
and distinct. Her enunciation is so
clear that you can understand the
words covering the story of the song,
just as If it were being read to you.
Hers are not Songs without words y
Some singers sacrifice everything for
the one consideration of beauty of
tone, but, when an audience does not
understand the text of the song to
which they are listening, they re-
ceive about half of the pleasure and
enjoyment they otherwise would.
Miss Miller, too, impresses her Dig
audiences with her rare personality
as well as by her musical ability. She
is both good to hear and good to see,
which explains why she is rated
among the most gifted Of all our dis
tinguished singers; fact which her
audiences bear out.
Her program will include a song
dedicated to her by William Lester.

Hoboken Germans, who, before the

hadn't bothered TO become naturalized
citizens, are worrying over a section OF
President Wilson's proclamation reading
as follows:
AN allen enemy shall not approach or
be found within one-half mile OF any
Federal or State factory or
workshop for the manufacture Of NUM-
tions Of war or OF any products for the
use Of the army or navy"
Hoboken Is known far and wide a the

and perhaps more factories that are

Sam, The plants are 30 located that IL
Is impossible for ALLEN enemies" to be
more than half mile away from them
and remain in the city.
Hoboken's population OF nearly 10000
Is about one-third German. Many OF the
German residents who own their own
homes are aliens, Until comparatively
recent date they were very pro-German.
Now they are obeying United states At
torney General Gregory's admontion.

Refusal TO Receive German Min.
fster So Construed by Many,

WAsHINGToN, April 9.-In Latin
American diplomatic quarters here It
was said late to-day that DR.. Muller's
refusal to receive the German Minister
to Brazil undoubtedly meant that the
Government definitely had decided to
sever diplomatic relations with Germany.
DR.. Muller's orders that q steamer be
prepared "at once for a mission abroad"
was interpreted as meaning that the
Brazilian Government also had deter
mined to arrange for the immediate de-
parture OF the German officials. 1t was
considered doubtful that forty-six Ger
man ships in Brazilian ports would be
seized at this time unless It should ap-
pear that the vessels might attempt to
escape or were in danger Of being dam
aged or destroyed by their crews.
