Weak Minded Sympathy
By Some for Germany

CHARLESTON. ": Va. Sept. Ia
Lets stop this wcnk-mindcd sympathy
for the German in America" pleaded
William Nathrr Lewis. cHccutir. Sec
rriary Of the National committee OF pa
lriotic societies. addressing the war
convention held in Charleston this week
and his remarks in this regard hronEht
hcarticr hand-clapping than any other
statement made during n address
which spurrrd tho gathering TO DIX az
plauEc a. dozen different times.
Mr.. LEWIS r-1nl ed out that there was
grave danger in the German element IN
America which had not yet boon COM
plctely Amcriclnizcd and argued that
drastic :,ctiun should be taken against
the man who retained any ieanings to-
ward kaisrrisn. The 1tnlianS have Just
as much right IN love Nero and the AM
orleans JUST rs much right to love Zen
cdict Arnold rs the German in America
has IN love the kniser.'
The Ease with which German propa-
ganda finds it's way about was insplra-
lion for n portion OF his address, and nc
lxprrssrd surprise at the great amount
Of II that had gotten into the school
books Of this country and when nan
hecn spread in America through Ger
man music. The big laugh OF the even
ing came when nc told Of q mother who
was downhcartcd md blue at the sick

whch, argues Mr.. Lewis. is in line with
the r"a! truth To he found in most OF
the rot which is being circulated by
those who either intentionally or
through ignorance MD the German
cause by private conversation.

OVERTURE INSPIRED BY FLY
Humble Insect Said to Have Aided
Mendelssohn in Composition of
Immortal Melody.

1t appears that no source is so hum
BILE that the true-and trained
musician cannot gather inspiration
from it. 1t is told of Mendelssohn that
his beautiful midsummer Nights
Dream" music is indebted for, at least
one of it's effects to the buzzing of a
fly.
One summer day in the year 1926
Mendelssohn lay on the grass in the
Schonhauser gardens in Berlin, plan
ming the overture. A friend was with
him, and as they lay there a fly buzzed
busily about their heads.
Mendelssohn said 'Hush! % and lis
tened intently for a time. Afterward,
when the overture was finished, the
composer pointed to the meditation of
the cellos from B minor to r sharp
minor in the middle section and said
There, that's the S%chonhauser fly"
That overture has become n of
the worlds musical classics and Men.
delssohn was a boy Of seventeen when
he wrote it.
