Case Of kreisIer, Enemy Allen.

Fritz Kreisler, the Austrian v!olinist,
who after being wounded while serving
in the Austrian army resumed his
professional career in this country, has
Cancelled all his concert engagements,
which action he says will result IN a
loss to him OF $4,000 for the season.
His determination to give up concert
work IN America was caused by the
public criticism aroused by his send
ing money to Austria for the relief Of
wounded Austrian soldiers who are
musicians. He has denied giving
money for any cause which could be
construed as an aid to Austria Hun
gary.
But DR.. Newell Dwight Hills. pas
tor OF Plymouth church, has taken Is
sue with Kreisler and declared that
every $4,000 the viol.n.st sends home
for the relief of Austrian soldiers
frees the Austrian government Of A.
nsncial responsibility to that extent,
so that these contributions are as
tho given directly to the government.
In the controversy that followed this
statement there was talk OF duels. and
It was pointed on, that Kre.sler has
already figured In three affairs Of hon
or. But DR.. Hills stood by his guns
and announced that he could be
found at his office any time. day or
nigh, while the former Austrian Off
Ger was content 20 let the matter drop
with the remark that the preacher was
crazy.
The truth IL that Kreislers art Is
\ admired generally by Americans. blu,
his loyalty TO the cause OF the United
States Is seriously doubted. Under
| these circumstances It appears wise
that he should cancel his professional
engagements until after the war. un-
less he be willing to take the oath OF
