IL some OF the finer shades of meaning
were lost in the process, the results
would be much more understandable
than hearing them IN a foreign
tongue.
1t is likely. too. that the English
text would stimulate the soloists to
pay even stricter attention to clear
enunciation. An American pianist Is
quoted as saying. Anyhow, the way
operas are usually sung, 1t doesn't
make much difference what language
is used, for the diction of most of our
opera singers is wretched. II vaude-
willie singers fail to get their words
over they lose their jobs. In this
particular. the masses who attend the
music halls show better taste than
the cultured society Of the opera
house"
Whether or not that charge and
comparison are earned by the opera
singers. 1t is only reasonable to sup
pose the necessity OF singing in Eng
lish that every person could under

MUSIC INSPIRES
BOYS ON THE WAY

A tribute to the cheering and up
lifting power OF music is found in the
bands and orchestras which have
been placed on the majority OF trans
ports carrying American troops to the
other side.
Many young musicians who have
enlisted in the navy form the per-
sonnel OF these organizations whose
work consists OF supplying inspiring
music at the two daily concerts held
on shipboard.
Familiar classics, stirring marches,
patriotic airs. and the latest rag and

precious cargoes OF young American
manhood are borne overseas.

MUSIC WILL AID
UNIVERSAL PEACE
By J. McB.

The writer on music has preached
for a long time on music "as a vital
factor in the establishment of univer-
sal peace, by virtue of its being the
only language that requires no trans
lation." That was before our en-
trance into the great war.
In 1914. during the spring before
the war. Daniel Gregory Mason, in
an address before the International
Cancellation Association. established
for the purpose of promoting inter
national peace, talked on music as an
international language. He said at
that time:
Music cannot show us the other
mans International ideas, but II, by
way of compensation for this short
coming of vagueness, it has an in
comparable power to reveal what is
even deeper, his loves and hates, his
hopes and fears, in a word the tenn
peramental soil out OF which all his
ideas must grow. is not that an even
more vital revelation? Music thus
seems to bring us into contact at a
deeper level than that Of the spoken
word"

DEMAND FOR OPERA
I'm ENGLISH GROWS

The opinion is spreading that
operas presented to the people OF an
EnElish-speaking country should be
sung in English throughout The
reasons for not doing SO on account
of the difficulty Of translation, the
loBs through translation. and the eN-
pense involved, are gradually becom-
ing weaker. and there are those who
nelieve that the law of supply and
demand will before many years make
opera in English the custom rather
than the exception. Even II the Eng
lfeh versions that translators could
furnish were not quite so expressive.

America the United States of
America. has been put to the test
and has been trying out" as it were,
the truth OF this philosophy OF an
American composer and musician. Our
great pioneer poet, Walt Mason, is be-
ing proven prophet as well, for we
can all. today, say with him
Il hear America singing"
The United States Government has
recognized the strength and forti-
tude that music can instill into the
soldier boys abroad and into those
who wait at home. To this end, it
summoned one of our foremost music
educators, Peter w. Dykema, of the
University OF Wisconsin. TO serve one
of the manifold activities Of the
United States War Department
Mr.. Dykema was asked to give a
statement as to the response he had
met with during his several weeks
labors in Washington in connection
with the Commission on Training
Camp Activities and also with the
War Camp Community Service
These two services OF the Gov
ernment represent the entire ma
tion- The former includes all
men Of the nation who are in uni
form, the latter embraces all the
people Of these United States" for
whom the men in uniform have Of
fered to lay down their lives.
Truly there is coming about a
"paternar' interest in art as a neces-
sity to the well-being OF a nation.
Uncle Sam has refuted, IN his hour
OF need, the allegation that the peo-
pie of this land have no art in their
souls. The artists OF the land,
whether musician, painter, or those
OF the arts and crafts, are looking
forward to a national recognition OF
their need to the world, when. the
days of reconstruction shall arrive,
with the dawning OF Peace"
The Washington times., 1918-08-22

Mr.. Dykema would not talk upon
his ideals in the matter, preferring
TO let the facts in the case speak for
themselves. He marshaled forth so
extensive an array OF facts, however,
that a mere glimpse OF them will
prove the large plan he would not
give voice to, and also how inde-
fatigable he must be in the execution
of that plan

parts. First as song leader in the
Commission on Training Camp Ac-
tivities, that is fulfilled during the
daytime; and second, my personal
work-community work in the city"
In the first category we see Mr..
Dykema as a song leader visiting,
each week, seven camps around
Washington, from Camp Leech to
Fort Washington. He has on his list
only those camps that are not large
enough to occupy the time of one
man. An itinerant purveyor of health
and happiness!
He finds encouraging results in the
camps and elsewhere among the men,
such as the 7. NJ C. A The soldier;
in his human aspect, be seems to seek

men first learn the camp songs, and
Immediately set about developing
parodies upon them. The following
parody gives an idea OF the spirit of

The second part, the community
part, OF Mr.. Dykema's program-his
personal work, as he calls it's
even more extensive. This includes
sings" on Monday, Wednesday, and
Friday evening at 1880. at the Sylvan
Theater on the Monument Grounds.
On Sunday, at 5, he leads the volun-
teer community singers in the vesper
services held on the Ellipse.
Thursday evenings at 7:30, at the
Thomson School, Is a class for the
training OF song leaders and accom-
panists, for use In the extension of
group singing to all sections of the
city. 1t now numbers forty members.
Men and women are both desired. AS
Mr.. Dykema put It, Personality. not
SEX" is the greatly to be desired thing.
These song leaders are trained to fol-
low up the work that Mr.. Dykema in
augurates.
A second class begins this week, to
which beginners are eligible.
This extended work includes sing
ing in various departments of the
Government service, namely:
I. Interior Department, where each
morning there is q "sing," or rather
two OF them, held at two corners of
the building. Here, as the "war work
ers" enter, they stop for a short time
and sing, to the accompaniment of a
piano and a violin. Twice a month
they assemble In the court OF the
building and for a half hour-from
S:45 to 9:J5-they have q more elab
crate program with the Interior De-
partment band to accompany them.
This last innovation is distinctly
under Government sanction, for II
falls within Government working
hours. The word-leaflet for these oc-
casions bears on It two quotations..
"Our army consists not only Of the
million men in France, but the vast
army Of men and women here at
home."-President Wilson
"a singing army Is q fighting

II. At the Department of Commerce
the singers meet in front Of the build

III. The surgeon generals office

At two department store-Kann's

CURIOUS SENTRY
GRABS TWO HUNS
They Had Escaped From Prison
and Were Boldly Travelling
Toward Front.
BY FRED S. FERGUSON.
United Press Staff CORRESPONDENT!

With the Americans on the Vesle
{by mail)-Peter Begenslsi. American,
of Mt. Carmel, Pa, always was a
curious sort Of person. AS a sentry on
duty just outside headquarters OF his
outfit in the war zone he was always
wanting to know just what business
other people had around there, If he
didn't know them, or If they didn't APP
pear to be at home Peter would stop
ter's actions didn't look good to him.
While Peter was thus looking after
his job as sentry, always curious and
always stopping people he wasn't sure
OF, Two Germans escaped from prison
camp. This camp was some 100 miles
or SO from Peter and his sentry posts,

way had obtained, old French uniforms.

headed for the German lines. They
Travelled several nights. Their food ran
out, and they lived on wheat and veg
etables from the fields. They kept to
the woods most of the time, but oc-
casionally allied soldiers saw them. On
account of their French uniforms no

After four days the Heinies reached
the Marine region. Things We're lively
there then. Troops were on the move,
everyone was busy and no one paid
any attention to a pair Of unattached
French soldiers. So the Germans be-
came bold. They passed through VIII
lage in broad daylight.
Peter had just taken up his early
afternoon trick at his post right at the
gate of headquarters. His rifle was
shining, his shoes clean and his tunic
huttoned up as smartly as for parade.
Peter looked things over. There was
considerable movement along the
road Wagons men and horses were
hurrying past Most OF the men were
Americans, but Peter noticed some
French here and there.
Then he saw two F,renchmen in par
ticular. They were walking slowly. The
first thing Peter noticed was that they
needed a shave. Also their uniforms
were soi'ed. Peters curiosity began to
work. He watched the pair closely and
became more curious. Just why should
two Frenchmen be as far back of the
lines as headquarters. and look as
though they had lust stepped out of
the line? Peter asked himself, and
couldn't think of an answer.
The objects of Peters curiosity by
this time were right in front of the
gate leading to headquarters.
Peter stepped out os into the road;
his very best French
very good; and you?" came the re-
Spouse.
Then Peter wanted to know where
the two were going. and where they
came from. Re got an answer, but his
retort was:

simultaneously his rifle clicked and
he covered the strangers
Peter marched them away A brisk
line OF questioning and the story OF
the two Germans came out.
Peter returned to his post. And then,
with the Americans pride In his new =

pals the real secret of his capture.

they began to talk to me-" said Peter.

TO BE
DRY AHEAD OF NATION

Philadelphia.-Pract dry"
Pennsylvania is looked for some time
in advance OF July /, 1919, the date set
for national war time prohibition. In
Philadelphia the license to sell LIQUOR
expires on June /. The privilege costs
nearly 5000 and the authorities do not
anticipate that many sasoon keepers
will care to pay that much for the
privilege OF dispensing itduor for one
month.
Similarly in the interior towns, where
the present licenses expire on April /.
the feeling prevails that few liquor SELL
ers will feel that they can afford to paw
more than $500 for the three months
privilege.
