$500 Anthem Attempts
Fail to Supplant Tune
OF English in Germany

Berne. Switzerland, Aug. Ger
many's efforts to invent a new ma
tional anthem to take the place OF
Hell Dir I'm S.egerkranz," which II
sung to the English tune OF God
Save the King" seem to have igno-
miniously failed.
A committee recently worked its
way through 800 sets OF verses with

During 1914 and 1915 many hundreds
OF poems and tunes were sent to the
Kaiser. the ministry OF education. the
ministry OF war and the Committee
for the Imperial Book OF National
Songs. Since 1915 the flood diminished,
the German song-writers apparently
having tired OF being unable to please
the Kaiser's musical taste.
Meanwhile the experts have been
working hard. but the music section
OF the Academy OF Arts has practically
given up hope OF displacing a melody
so firmly established.

Ben Johnson, Appealed to,
Says Make No New
Lease.

Tenants OF one Of washington's
large apartment houses appealed
yesterday to Representative Ben
Johnson in regard TO q threatened
increase In rent.
The landlord said that unless the
tenants made q new lease at q high
er rental no heat would be furnish
ed them this winter.
Mr.. johnson warned the tenants
against making new lease even
at a lower rental. because such q
lease would not stand under the
present laws.
The lease under which they were
renting the apartment can not be
altered by the landlord until the
end of the war. Neither can the
landlord refuse heat, as he had con-
tracted for the heat as well as tho
occupancy of the apartment
He might as well tear the roof
OF an apartment and then expect
to rent 1t at the agreed price as
refuse heat" said Mr.. johnson In
discussing the situation yesterday.
"A landlord can not sell the occu-
pancy OF an apartment and then
make 1t impossible to occupy IT,"

DOING GOOD WORK IN WAR


"The English church army is doing
noble work In the war;" was the
message received in this country by
the Episcopal church from the Church
Of England. "Fully equipped recrea-
ton huts, open to men of all creeds,
have been established in all training
camps in England and Wales. On the
French front huts, tents and tempo
rary churches are provided. In all
more than 800 Of these huts and tents
are In use; some in remote places In
the north for the men Of the navy
others in Malta, Egypt, Palestine
Macedonia. Mesopotamia, East Africa
and even in India. Frequently last
letters have been written from these
huts, bearing the heading, Church
Army Hut'-letters now treasured BY
those at home. The bill for writing
paper alone Is over 100000 a year.
"Close to the front line trenches
the church army keeps several 'kitch
en- cars to supply the men with ho

the advantages Of a club are beini
maintained, where men are cared fol
