REGRET DEPARTURE

Music Lovers Thoroughly Enjoy
Final Concert in Artists
Course.

The final concert in the artists
course presented by Mrs. Wilson
Greene this season held a double sig
nificance yesterday at the National
Theater, for Washington music lovers
gathered to welcome but also to
say farewell to the ( Gus Kneisel
Quartet, who appeared in joint re-
cital with Nine. Olga Samaroff, Ameri-
can pianist.
That the regret was heartfelt was
manifested by the first greeting to
these foremost players in the ranks
of chamber music, and after their
playing Of the Beethoven quartet in D
major a true ovation was given them
with such repeated recalls that they
responded with the Granger quartet,
MOLLY on the Shore" this inimitable
bit of folklore proving a gem In
spirit In the values anu grace OF all
the instruments, and in its arrange
ment for string quartet for which It
was originally designed.
The Beethoven was a masterful ex-
ample of quartet playing, the pres

work, its witchery and rhythm,

where virtuosity was held ever in
vibrant tone, being flawless in execu-
tion and finish. The tone Of the
Kneisels is rare and ever musically
beautiful. It was wonderfully blend
ed in the andante, with its .suave
grace, while the whole stands as tes-
timony to the highest achievement of
Franz Kneisel with his co-workers,
Hans Letz, second violin; Louis Svec-
enski, viola, and Willem Willeke,
violoncello.
Nine. Samaroff, as soloist, gave the
Brahms piano sonata in + minor, dis
playing a command and a dramatic
force that was incisive- The caprice
spirit of the scherzo wasdelightful and
executed with vitality and character,
while there was lovely color and feel
ing through the deeper meaning OF
the intermezzo. As encore the Brahms
"Capriccio" in B minor was an art
work in lightness of execution, In
tone values and the full harmonies
that pervaded It.
In the rarely lovely Cesar Franck
quintet that closed the program Nine.
Samaroff was brilliant, though the
piano somewhat over-dominated the
ensemble. Mr.. Kneisel, in solo pas
sages, showed the exquisite subtlety,
the rhythmic beauty of his art, while
the strings gave that rare "concourse
OF sweet sound" that proves how
great Is their loss to the music

STARS AND STRIPES
DEFY LIGHTNING
CoIors Float Despite Shattering
of Pole on Geological
Survey Building.

It takes more than "donner und
blitzen"' to keep Old Glory down. And
It requires something a lot speedier
than lightning to keep the Stars and
Stripes from fiuttering, even in times
of peace.
Lightning struck the tall pole on
the Geological Survey building yes
terday, broke It in two. and sent the
loosened end to the roof with a crash.
A ten-foot-hlgh skylight Immediately
behind the staff caught It, and while
occupants of office and business
buildings within radius of several
squares rushed to windows to survey
the possible damage Old Glory still
waved, the skyiight serving as a sup
port.
The superintendent OF the building
sent workmen to the roof to rescue
the flag and repair the skylight. By
the time the national emblem had
been disentangled from the wreckage
OF the skylight the 4:3o o'clock whIs-
tie sounded and the nag was not put
up again.

BAKER SETS RECORD
AS HUMAN DYNAMO
Signs Commissions, Hears Let
) tiers, and Dictates Answers
All At Same Time.

When Robert Lansing stepped from
the counselor's chair into the highest
seat in President Wilson's Cabinet,
newspaper chroniclers made much Of
his ambidexterity in drawing airy
Gibson girl sketches with his left
hand while writing diplomatic notes
with his right.
Quite some feat, this, all the news
paper men agreed as they watched
the secretariaI pencil left-handedly
fashioning perfect profiles, the secre-
tary answering questions the while,
and industriously working away with
his right hand.
But, shucks, tNis isn't a starter to
what Secretary of War Baker can do,
and has done evey night for week.
At The witehing Hour.
You may not believe this, but it's
true as gospel A group Of dogwatch'
ing newspaper men saw Secretary
Baker accomplish the feat well along
toward midnight last night
On a pile on his desk before him
Secretary Baker had several hundred
unsigned commissions Of newly ap'
pointed reserve army officers. He
was attaching his signature to these
commissions as fast as he could write.
Facing him across the desk was q
messenger, who picked UP the com
missions as fast as they were signed
and dropped them, unbIotted, on the
floor.
At Secretary Bakers left was his
secretary, reading the days accumu-
lation of mail. At Mr.. Bakers right
was a stenographer, to whom the
Secretary was debating replies to the
letters in rapid-nre sentences.
For aII-round, two-fisted. rough
and ready, catch-as-catch-can wrest-
ling with work Mr.. Bakers feat was
about the most astonishing exhibition
ever seen about the State, War, and
Navy building.
On the Job n Week.
And the Secretary then had been
on the Job for a week, working nights
when he had no visitors to interrupt
him.
He worked to the bottom of the pile
last night and heayed a sigh Of relief
after having signed something like
5000 communications, but just then
Adjutant General Mccain came in
with another arm load and the Secre-
tary faces another nights job.
II the flood -of commissions from
the adjutant generals office Continues
the Secretary may yet find himself
swamped. But II this happens it
would not surprise his office force
II he started signing them with both
hands, meanwhile continuing to dis
pose OF his days accumulation of mail
- he wrote.
