BRAHMS'S F MAJOR
PLAYED PLACIDLY
Stransky Conducts Symphony
Deliberately at Philhar-
monte SOciety's Concert.
SUITE "FROM MY YOUTH"
Mortimer Wilson Of Chicago
Presents Eight Movements
TO Tuneful Music.

It was the 1.269th concert OF the
Philharmonic Society which took place
Yesterday afternoon in Carnegie Hall.
In this weighty fact is matter for re-
Election. The number is large and the
burden of artistic responsibility has
become heavy. Perhaps this may ex-
plain the deliberate progress OF the F
major symphony OF Brahms, which
was the second number on the pro-
gramme.
Mr.. Stransliy. the conductor OF the
Philharmonic Society, has made 1t
known that he was beloved OF Brahms.
Did Brahms ever hear the + major
symphony under his baton? 1t is a
theme for conjecture. order, we are
told. is heavens first law. For at least
three movements the performance was
orderly beyond all dispute. Paragraph
go of the Infantry Drill Regulations OF
the United States Army says:
1.-THE length Of the full step in quick
time is so inches, measured from heel
of 100 steps per minute"
Regularity Is Excessive.
Observance of this rule insures q
steady and uniform rate OF progress in
any marching unit; but desirable as
an absolutely steady march is in In
fantry it cannot be regarded as ad-
mirable in the performance Of a SYM
phony, especially when it is not even
In quick. but in slow time. The SECOND
and third movements Of yesterday S
symphony advanced from their start
20 their finish with perfect regularity
One almost wished that something
might happen TO disturb the peace;
but placidity ruled and the human in
spiration of the composer under Mr.
etransky's continuous contemplation
Of the score was translated into the
state of Nlrvana, which is Brahmanc'
but not Brahms.
The American composer had an in
ming after Brahms, His name was
Mortimer Wilson and he conducted his
own work in Il wide awake manner.
MIR. Wilson comes from Chicago and
Il seems that out that way when q
composer has n family Of children he
emulates the example of Dvorak and
writes music for them. Mr.. Wilson
brought us a suite called From My
Youth" This suite has passed through
several incarnations and reincarna-
tions, piano. cello. trio and otherwise
tin il finally reached the celestial
blessedness OF the orchestral state.
Told In Eight Movements.
There are eight movements whose
titles inform us fully of the composer S
intentions. They are called Teddy
Bear Lullaby" Waltz of the Negro
Dolls" Around the May Pole" Tiny
Spinners," Funeral OF n Calico Cat.
Love Song of an Alpine Doll" Tin
Soldiers Dress Parade" and over the
Little Blue TIA Set" OF these move
ments the b,sT were the second and
seventh. None was to be taken seri-
ously. The suite is playful music
tuneful and rhythmic and we'll suited
to the entertainment of children. The
Philharmonic youth of mature years
Hike it apparently much better than
they liked the mesmeNzed Brahms.
The other numbers of the pro-
gramme were Bach's F major Brand
enburE gee" 'ario, Tschaikowsky's vari-
atoms 'o"o'p theme for cello and
orchest .th - Schulz as soloist
and ]. fins; hungarian rhapsody

AMERICAN TROOPS
 ATTACKED BY GAS
GERMANS SEND OVER t5,OoO SHELLS ON PicARDY FRoNr-
 CONTAINED MUSTARD GAS.
ENEMY AvlATORS TRICKY
They Arc Rcsortins To Unsportsman. like Tricks In Marking Their Ma chnes To Resemble Allied Air
 planes-Shoot and Then Run.

With the American Army Forces on the French Front, The Germans launched a heavy gas attack against the American troops on the Picardy front. Early in the evening they sent over 15,000 shells. composed chiefly of mustard gas, within a brief period. These shells were followed by an in tense artillery fire at midnight and several hundred gas shells were dropped into the American lines. German aviators are now resorting to nsportsmanlike tricks in an en- deavor to outwit American flyers. The trickiness of the German soldier afoot Is emulated by enemy airmen who are marking their machines to make them | look as much like allied markings as possible
 The Germans have taken 10 round ing of the corners of the cross on the wings of their planes. to make them look like allied badges. Tho game of the German airmen is 10 play around, get in a shot if he can, | hAu tlltu luu. Allltl lCdi HNtIS, TOT lear of attacking probable friend, must get up close to an enemy ma | chine. usually after considerable man. euyering, before opening fight. Here Is what happens at an air l drome to which Americans are at | tached when an alarm comes in Tho | telephone bell rings at the hangar and the location of the enemy Is reported A number of the young Americans take the air quickly and in less than five minutes from the time the bell rings the airplanes look like mosQui- toes in the sky. In three-quarters Of an hour they are back again and com. pare notes.
 Did you see anything?" one yells to another.
 | comes the reply.
 What were those three machines north of -" is the next Ques- tion
 "They looked like French. but you never know" was the answer on this particular occasion.
 Then the Americans climb out and sit around and wait for the end Of their tour of duty or for another alarm The American airmen are us ing the same machine guns which have been found most effective by tho Anglo French army Some of the Americans are completing their train ing in flying formations on patrol as fast chasers. while others are learn ing observation and photograph work
