Music

The season Of the Symphony soci-
ETY., under Walter Damrosch's direc-
ton, closed Yesterday afternoon with
its final programme in Aeolian Hall,
which he'd been played the night before
in Carnegie
The end blazed with glory and con-
fusion. for the programme closed with
Mihel Dvorsky's "Chromaticon," played
by Josef Hofmann, with Mr.. Damrosch's
orchestra in spirited accompaniment.
Dvorsky. who is one of those mysteri-
Gus figures, like Teufelsdrock, Fuse
bius and Ossian, has but recently
swum into the musical ken, and he has
swum. it is to be noted. exclusively in
physical proximity to Mr.. Hofmann.
Mr.. Hofmann has been Mr.. Dvorsky's
most frequent and most appreciative
exponent. Some have pointed out that
the name means "courtier." which is
precisely the signiicaton OF the Ger
man cognomen of Mr.. Hofmann (who,
however. was safely born out of reach
of Kultur in Cracow. the ancient capi-
tai of Poland).
No one has ever met Mr. Dvorskv
When one searches for information
concerning him the trail always leads
back to M. Hoffman, The first statis
tician to assert definite knowledge of
his identity, we believe, is Mr. Daniel
Gregory Mason, who in the Symphony
Society programme notes AYERS that
che was born in Pau. France, of a
Polish father and French mother and
that he 'is now living at San Sebastian.
a Spanish watering place" Yet moth
ing short of a birth certificate in Mr..
Mason's hand will convince most musi-
Clans that Dvorsky and Hofmann are
not one and the same, or at least
two spiritual emanations of one phys
ical being. 1t will indeed. be a great
exodus when Dvorsky, having finished
taken the cure, emerges from San
Sebastian
But in the meantime his reputation
is bewreathed with laurcls. The
"Chromaticon" is an ardenty written
work, exploiting tho resources of chro-
matte harmony with vigor equal to
that of Florent Schmitt. If at times
1t too clearly recalls the styles of
certain great masters of modern mu-
sic, one must remember that the COM
poser is still young, having been born
IN lS90.' 1t is a fantasia, or, perhaps,
like Sch0nbergs Quartet, a true sonata
whose movements have been chopped
up and jumbled together Not all Of it
is chromatic. There is an adagio
which might we'll be called "diatoni-
con-" and it offers most agreeable
contrast to the anarchy of the re-
mainder. Yet it is not all anarchy.
What with a skeleton of pounding and
varied rhythmic emphasis, with a
shrewd repetition and development of
the themes, the work rises to a climax
which truly makes the blood tingle
For bold experiment and an exciting
piece of music, our felicitations to Mr..
Dvorsky!
MIR. Hotfmann aroused the greatest
enthusiasm with his playing of Chopin s
+ minor concerto Immediately before
the "Chromaticon.' He gave not only
a performance, but complete exposi-
tion of its structure and development,
so transparent. so sharply outlined was
his interpretation.
Elgar's first symphony, which opened
the programme, was at one time ex-
cessively praised, especially by leu
tonic pedagogues. 1t is now much the
worse for wear, though it retains its
formal virtues, these being values

month OF the war. thcy came yesterday
as picked guard Of honor to Sergeant
Major A. ". James. D. c. M-the first
soldier Of foreign Amy ever deco
rated by foreign power on The soil OF
the United States.
Back in the desperate days OF April,
1915, Sergeant James was at Ypres. On
the twenty third Of that month the Ger
man artillery flc had demolished the
Canadian divisional headquarters -Four
Highlanders, helpless from wounds,
were confined amid the ruins Of the
building. Machine gun fire was still
spraying the place and flames were
shooting from the crumbling apertures
in the walls. 1t was then that Sergeant
James first camc forward
AT the head OF a little band of ten
Hindoo soldiers he rushed the building
in the face Of the Boche FIRE. For a
quarter Of an hour he labored there
amid the smoke and flame. Three of
his helpers were shot down, but he did
not slacken, and in the end he brought
his four Highlanders back to safety.
That, though. wasn't all.
Sergeant's Second Exploit
A few days later before the dis
patches in which he was mentioned for
this exploit had reached England, he
was at Pontagnc, in Belgium. Fierce
fighting was going on and the Canadian
telephone wires had been damaged.
Sergeant James was sent forward to re-
pair them. Once again he found HIM
self in the midst of the firing. A Ger
man bullet lodged in his shoulder. But
again Sergeant James did not falter. 1t
was Of vital importance that those lines
of communication be kept open. The
lives of his comrades hinged on it.
And. reeling and gasping, Sergeant
James somehow held on and kept them
open till the day had been won. Then
he collapsed.
That was the service for which the
shy young man who came so blushingly
forward yesterday received the Distin-
guishcd Conduct Medal. the second
highest honor at the disposal of tho
~; icL -
tation could be made he had been or
dercd to this country for recruiting
work. He has been here ever since, and
in order that the ceremony which took
place at the Garden yesterday might
become fact long series of cable
messages from the British War Mission
and special order from King George
were necessary.

ARE WE GETTING LICKED?

Outlines we hear someone remark,
when scanning the headlines of the
daily papers, that the Germans are

and that they shall not pass" Bas-
ing his belief that Germany is in for

how France, which in 1916 was be-
ginning to make only about 10000
shells a day, now makes 100000. l

dy on front OF eighty miles-four

fact that the allied front has been
bent, but nowhere broken; l might
say that our great armies OF maneuv-
or have scarcely got into action; that
these armies tempered by four years
of war, are the best that have ever
trod a battlefield: But l will sweep
all that aside because it is only
secondary.
There is an element that sways
