a comprehension OF the true spirit Of
French lyric. art.
Traits of French Composers.
France is nothing II not intellectual.
The finest culture in the modern world
is that OF Paris. AS the exquisitely
sensitive and at the same time vi
brantly passionate mind Of the Floren-
tines of the Renaissance moulded the
whole thought Of educated Europe in
the sixteenth and seventeenth CEN
turtles. SO the perfectly poised and es-
sentially urban mind Of France should
influence the intelligence Of the whole
twentieth century. 1t is the fullest
and richest flower Of our civilization.
But It has yet to become known and
understood; and it must be confessed
that 1t must yet also completely I'M
derstand itself.
The academic element has been prom
inent in French thought ever since
the centre of all European learning
was the University OF Paris, and in
some of the musical outreachings of
the Parisians' there has been perhaps
too much learning and too little tenn
permanent. 1t has been hard for the
world to bring itself into accord with
the searching analyses of Bruneau. the
PROFESSIONAL communications of Vim
cent dIndy and even the lofty, il
sometimes remote, conceptions of the
Gallicized Belgian, Cesar Franck
Debussy has stamped his impress on
the music OF our time, but it Is incon-
testable that for the great mass of
music lovers he means only a few
songs and "LApres midi dun Faune."

His adorers continue to rave about
"Pelleas ct Melisande," but that mystic
opera has not survived the desertion
of Mary Garden. Nor Is it at all likely
that in the minds of lovers of theatre
music THE Afternoon Of a Faun" will
outlive memories Of Leonide Massine
and Warsaw Nijinsky.
Music lovers whose view Is not re-
stricted to the theatre will rejoice that
conductors purpose to make known
some of the creations Of the more in
dependent French composers. We
have indeed heard some of the works
Of the pYogressives, but We greatly
need to be lured away from the Masse-
net delusion, which the theatre cher
ishes with all its power.
UnexpIored Fields.
Massenet was a very gifted musician.
who frankly committed himself to the
business of manufacturing bonbons
for the tickle public. He represents
perfectly the boulevardier spirit which
exists in France. but If we set out to
seek for that magnificent soul which
hid itself under a disguise of manners
till this war compelled 1t to reveal
itself to the admiration of the world
we shall have to look elsewhere than
in the honey pots of "Manon" or the
| flesh pots of "Thais."
| II in any of the novelties to be
brought forward in the course Of the
season now opened there shall be dis
closed an individuality unaffected by
the intense concentration of metro
politanism in contemporaneous French
thought it will probably be one want
ing also in the characterizing marks
of French art.
Technic rises to its greatest heights
In France. That which can be taught
the painter, the architect and the COM
poser can all learn in France better
than they can in any other country III
Europe AS for other things. this war
ought to bring us all into closer accord
with French feeling.
The French artists who have come
to us hitherto have not opened up to
us all the UNEMPLOYED country. They
have consulted the dictates OF bust
ness judgment and kept to their IA
miliar compositions. But we are as
suredly going to learn more and more
about the French creators of music.
We can be absolutely sure of one
thing, and. that Is that they will not
throw mud into our faces after the
manner of Richard Strauss.

The German theatre or the spoken
drama has produced nothing worthy
Of consideration. Its best achieve
ments have been in the direction OF
staging. Perhaps the Meiningen mob
illusions were, after all. its largest
triumph. and these are distinctly
trAceable to the militaristic spirit. Cor
tainly when the present writer last
visited Bayreuth, the most significant
factor he found In the performance OF
"Lohengrin" was the action of the
chorus trained to operate in groups
after the Meiningen method.
Modern German Music Rejected.
What the German theatre had come
to in recent years may be gathered
from a single reading Of the gruesome
horrors of Hofmannsthal and a subse-
quent endurance of the music found
in them by Richard Strauss. The
whole texture of such art Is saturated
in spiritual Nth. 1t is the product OF
intellectual degradation and can make
Its appeal only that.
We can freely give thanks that we
die not have to wait for the war bitter
ness to Danish such stuff from ouI
stage. 1t was long ago swept into the
sewer by the flood OF public contempt
A few sorry apologists for 1t still
babble about its elemental force and
its musical eloquence, but they are the
same unhealthy minds that condemn
everything in the shape Of pure and
serene art.
Richard Strauss is the foremost

BANKER PUT ON TRIAL
FOR KILLING MAJOR
Former Cashier of Aberdeen
National Accused of Murder
of Army Architect
Elkton, Nd, Dec. II.

Elkton, Md, Dec. II.
The trial of Charles Hal johnson,
former cashier of the Aberdeen Ma
tional Bank, for the murder of Major
John r. King, supervising architect OF
the United States army, at the johnson
home, where King was a lodger, on the
night Of July l6 last, attracted a large
number of spectators to the courthouse
today. The State charges an unpro-
voked crime. while Johnson's attorneys
assert the shot was fired in self-defense
and allege Objectionable conduct by the
dead man.
John r Turner, Of New York, a
roomer at the JOHNSON home and a fell
low employe OF Major King at the army
proving ground, testified that on the
night Of the shooting he went to the
johnson home with King after they had
lunch together in another part of Aber-
deem. AS they entered the house they
observed the family were at dinner and
both spoke to them and went to their
rooms on the second floor. where they
spent about half hour reading news
papers and writing letters. After they
had been In their room for some time,
the witness said, johnson came up
stairs and slammed Turner's room door
and the next instant he heard him tell
King to leave the house.
The witness said he heard the pistol
shot, stepped to the hallway, saw John
son with revolver in right hand. with
weapon pointed at King and the
wounded man holding johnson by the
wrists. Mrs. johnson ran up the stairs
and took the weapon from her hus-
bands hands. Turner called for an
ambulance from the proving ground hos
pital and had Major King removed to
the hospital. where he died the follow
ing morning.
