Perhaps the most satisfactory part of the whole Allied drive at present is the fact that General Bernhardi, the Hun war prophet, who boasted that the Germans would sweep every thing before them, has been badly beaten by the British forces. He com manded the ffty-hfth corps of the Kaiser's sixth army.

All honor be to our glorious flag The flag of the brave and free But for me another flag floats today By the side of the stars and stripes so
 gay,
 That means all the world to me. My flag has ono star of the deepest On a field white as driven snow, With border of crimson clear and
 bright As the western skies on a summer

 When the setting sun sinks low I watch both flags as they float from

Fuel Administrator Says New Britain Is Short 5000 Tons.

In order that the public may better understand the exact fuel situation in this city, Fuel Administrator James s. North today stated that the gov ernment has allotted New Britain 100,- 900 net tons of anthracite coal for this winter, but owing to various de- lays the city, on August i ,, was short some 5000 tons. The situation, while serious, is not desperate and there is no occasion for a panic, MT. North states.
 In explaining the matter, Mr. North gave the following statement:
 Hast spring a careful estimate of New Britain's needs was made which resulted in the allotment to us of 10000 tons Of anthracite coal from April to April Eighty thousand tons of this coal is for heating purposes. Of this amount, wo-thirds should be received by November 1, or 7,619 net tons for the seven months. On this basis New Britain was short 5000 tons on August 15.
 Strictcst Economy Necessary.
 Although this shortage is bad, 1t can be overcome in the next two months and every effort is being made to get additional coal into New Brit ain. The anthracite committee as- sures us that coal will be pushed into New Britain, but in the meantime the coal yards are very short, and the people must have patience. There Is no necessity for panic, but on the other hand there is great necessity for making every provision for the use of as little coal as possible dur ing the winter.
 'It is harder to get the larger sizes of coal Most people can use the smaller sizes of coal by intelligent firing Mo- BuckWhcat can be used successfully by banking fires at night.
 "A great saving of all kinds ot fuel can be made by installation of wealth CT strips and double windows This work should be done now as many will find that they cannot get the work done in cold weather

Real Loyalty Demanded

The internment of DR.. Muck and Mr.s
Kunwald has intensified the public's
desire to know just where our various
conductors stand on the subject of the
war; Dr. Muck and Mr.. Kunwald are
alien enemies, and they never made any
concealment of their sympathies. But
there are other we'll known musicians
whose positions are still little
nebulous, even though technically they
may not be classed as enemies. The
Boston Symphony Orchestra is about to
choose another leader, and if New York
of our New England Athens-and, after
all, the Boston Orchestra is our ma
.tian's brightest musical gem and there
fore to be as jealousy guarded by New
York as it is by its more fortunate
sister city--it is to be hoped that
it will choose leader whose 10y
atty to the cause Of civilization
both is and always has been un-
questioned. Such a leader certainly
can be found. Indeed, such a leader
must be found For conductor to
wave baton in Boston, even if it is
for "The Star-Spangled Banner" while
his heart turns fondly to Munich or
Berlin, is not what we call loyalty to
civilization. America to-day has no
place for patriotic camouAage and
Boloism, musical or otherwise.
On the subject of the Philharmonic
Society, an interesting little book has
just appeared from the pen of the able,
accomplished, indefatigable James Glib
bons Huneker Mr.. Huneker gives a
short sketch Of the society's history
and long table Of the works per-
formed since 1892. The book is entitled
"The Philharmonic Society Of New
York: A Retrospect" What Mr.. Hun
eker has to say of the modern orches-
ira deserves to be quoted and remem-
bered. 1t is said in true Huneker
style:
"The unit in modern music is neither
the voice nor single instrument, nor
yet the music drama, with it's am
bilious attempt at synthesis of the
seven arts, but the orchestra, many
voiced, unity in multiplicity. Without
the pomp and splendor Of grand opera
devoid of such Fictitious concomitants
as the fashion and favor of the hour
the orchestra can interpret in less
than an hour the tragic intensity of the
music drama combined with the formal
severity Of the symphony 1t is at once
cor del and vor popuh From Bach
TO Debussy it can sing or suggest. As
intimate and lyric as the bird, the or
chestra is also the Jupiter Tonans Of
the musical Olympus. 1t can thunder
and blast. 1t can sigh like Romeo
and, as in magic mirror, it can show
Us fairy landscapes, and the darkest
crannies Of the heart. The human soul
liz dark forest; Tschaikowsky's music
eliminates both soul and forest. as
stravinskis fireworks light up the
the sky Of the world. The orchestra is
the latter day epic in action"
Who but the adorable James Gibbons
huneker could have written this?

Nine. Eua Gaufhier
To Sing Four Ne1u
Songs by Or1sfeira

AT her last recital of the season in
Aeolian Hall tomorrow evening, Nine.
Eva Gauthier, the young Canadian
singer, will again offer a programme Of
unhackneyed music, and, as on her
former programme, will introduce sew
eral unknown composers and a few
novelties by a composer whose songs
will on this occasion receive a first
hearing. These are the four Empress
sions," written especially for Nine.
Gauthier by Leo Ornstein.
In speaking of concert programmes,
Nine. Gauthier declares there is no
reason why the same songs and arias
should be resorted to time after time
without change, when there is such a
vast store of material at ones disposal
at the expense OF little research
work, not to mention the everAowing
tide of new works which are constantly
appearing.
I'm making up my programme" says
Nine. Gauthier, "the difficulty l find
is that l want to sing too many new
things. l grow so enthusiastic over
the material at hand that my pro-
gramme grows about three times its
normal size. | have to weed out and
eliminate, and sometimes | have to
cut out various things that | wanted
very much to do.
"Of course, there is great temptation
to sing the things that every one else
| ~
an audience. 1t often takes some
courage to present new works-the
courage Of the gambler or the pioneer.
There is the audience to be considered.
and the effectiveness of the particular
song in a concert hail. Then, too, YOU
know that Mines. So-and-so and So
andso have sung something that
proved very popular with the audience,
and knowing it to be suited to your
own voice, there is the desire to sing
1t yourself.
However, there is an interest in
seeking out new things that cannot be
denied. New songs are brought to me
constantly, and when l hear of an in
terestlng composer l ask if he hasn't
anything that l could sing. At my
Forthcoming concert l am going to
BRING out two songs by young Amer
lean, Nat Schildkret, who l think has
fine gift for writing, and something
! by a Chilean composer whom | met
here in New York. / am also doing
two songs by Charles 7. Critics, whose
settings of five Chinese poems on the
Oriental five and six-tone scale I in
troduced on my concert programme last
fall
Some time ago it occurred to me
that Leo Ornstein might have some
very interesting songs, so wrote him
that l would like to see his things
If he had any. Some weeks later
heard from him, saying that he was
writing four new songs especially for
me. They are most interesting and
quite melodic, in themselves, until they
are sung with the piano. Them
However, the more l sing them the
more beauty and unity l find in the
songs. Ornstein knows how to write
for the voice"
Besides the songs mentioned, Nine.
Gauthier will sing a group of French
folksongs and devote the rest of the
programme to other songs in French
and English
