AMERICAN ARMY TAKES
OVER ITS FIFTH SECTOR

CONTINUED from First Page.1
ders. Northwest of Toul, east of
Luneville. north of st. Mihiel along
the Muse and west of Montdidier in
Picardy, General Pershing's men had
given a good account of themselves
before the entrance of American
units into the fighting east and west
of Chateau Thierry.
With the hating of the offensive
on the new salient, military observers
expect the Germans will make an
other attempt to reach the channel
ports through Amiens and crush the
Anglo French forces before the full
strength of the American effort can
be brought into play. The supreme
war council has expressed confidence
in the situation and the ability of
General Foch to combat the enemy's
plans. Premier Clemenceau has told
the French Chamber of Deputies
that the future depends on American
help.
Fighting operations on the western
front elsewhere than south of the
Ailette are at minimum. There has
been active artillery firing on the
Belgian sector and on parts of the
British front, where the Germans
have been repulsed in raids north of
KENNEL, in Flanders, and between
Albert and Arras, in Picardy.
Hold Up Masses
German masses no longer hurl
themselves at the Allied lines along
extended fronts. The momentum of
the Teuton advance of last week ap-
pears to have exhausted itself in
striking. the yielding lines of the
French and British, which have now
stiffened and are holding the enemy
except for Insignificant gains here
and there, especially along the front
running south of the neighborhood
of scissors to Chateau Thierry. The
struggle apparently is changing from
war of movement to a war of po-
sition.
Official reports show that the Ger
mans are launching their assaults on
Chevy, Corey and near Dommiers,
isolated points of vantage. The at
taclSs were, roughly, from five to
| seven miles apart along the line
which includes ground where the
Americans have established them
selves and have fought the Germans
| to a standstill. The French official
statement says that the Teuton at
| tacks were all repulsed.
The report of operations along the
| British front fails to show any nota-
| BILE activity on the part of the Ger
mans. At Morlancourt, between the
Ancre and the Somme, south of AL
bert, the Germans, supported by
heavy artillery fire. attempted to raid
the British positions. but were re-
pulsed, leaving prisoners behind.

and their relation to art songs. Here
are some of her extremely pertinent
observations:
"In introducing folksongs into my
recital programmes | was by no means
actuated solely by desire to serve
educational ends. Finding great deal
of pleasure in the songs because Of
their melodic loneliness and simplicity
and the commences and warmth Of
their sentiment, in which | could not
heip recognizing phases Of the emo
tlonal life of the different people of
the world. felt that their melodic and
rhythmlcal beauty and naive eloquence
would WIN recognition in the concert
room and that the songs would bear
comparison with the best products Of
the modern masters of artistic song
In fact, it is by bringing folksongs and
art songs into juXtaposition that the
influence which the former have had
upon the latter can best be shown.
The songs of the people can thus help
artists and the public to an apprecia-
ton of the products of the great com
posers. Can any one hear the strophic
songs of Schubert, Franz and Brahms
without perceiving in them an echo of
German folksong? Are not such songs
as Brahms's Sonntag, Der Gang
yum Liebsten,' 'Minnelied and Der
jaeger permeated through and through
with the spirit of folksong, and is not
the same influence observable also in
their structure? Modern civilization
has atrophied the faculty which created
the folksong almost everywhere; but
ITS. spirit is stirring to-day as never
before within over a century,"
The mere mention which was made in
these columns week Ago of "a Birth
day Greeting and Other Songs" the
words by Emily Niles Huyck, music by
Frank Damrosch and illustrations by
Helen Therese Damrosch (New York:
u. Schlrmer), was not all that the
pretty Christmas book deserved. The

From the presses Of the Oliver Ditson

be boon to the professional givers Of
song recitals and the amateur lovers
of songs, and and will awaken recollec-
tions of some of the pleasantest hours
ever spent in the music rooms of Amer
lea IN the minds Of thousands of music
lovers. The title of the volume amply
tells its character. 1t is "My Favorite
Folksongs," by Marcella Sembrich.
In it are at least a score of national
lyrics which used to figure on the pro-
grammes of Nine. Sembrich's song
recitals and as many more which had
her admiration, but which she did not
sing in public but had selected as char
acteristlc of the peoples whom she
knew. There are cuttings from two
dozen national and racial fields. all
with the original texts, English trans
lations and pianoforte accomplishments.
10 look through the pages is to hear
echoes of songs Of which the audiences
only few years ago seemed never to
get their fill; "Stesk" (Bohemian),
"Gai lon la" (Canadian), "The Three
Ravens" (English), "Das Muhlrad" and
"Sandmannchen" Germany, "Czillag"
(Hungarian), use amor mai da WI Sc
vede" and "Che tho fatto" Qtalian),
"Kom kjyra" Norwegian, "Uklad"
and "Coz ia nieboraczek" (Polish)
"Dalekaya i bliskaya" and "a susida"
(Russian), Comm Thro' the Rye"
(Scottish), "Nar jag blef sjutten ar"
(Swedish) and the wonderful "Ainte
koimesou' (modern Grecian). Intro
ductory to the songs are a biographical

which plays also through the musical
settings. These are just such music as
the ingenious poems ought to have
simple in melody, expressive in decla-
nation, harmony and figuration, and
full of ingenious characterization in
the panoforte accomplishments the
rustllng of LEAKAGE, murmur of winds,
twltter of birds, etc. In two of the
songs the vocal tune is superimposed
on independent dance melodies one in
the pentatonic scale of Japan ("The Lit

the Tilt Of an English country dance
("Posies, Look Your Best To day").
