FABRIz|O LEADS
ARTILLERY BAND

The host OF Washington friends OF
Carmine Fabrizio. the violinist, will
be interested in the notice from Bos-
ton that he is in France as band
master in the coast artillery.
The writer says:
THE march of events was a double
quick one for Carmine Fabrizio, the
Boston violinist. On September "a he
left Boston for Camp Eustis, Va, TO
fll the post OF bandmaster in the
Forty-eighth7 Coast Artillery Corps.
On September 90 he arrived at Camp
Stuart, the embarkation camp at
Newport News.
This unexpected haste on the part
OF the Government was not without
romantic consequences, for on Sep
tember 80 Mr.. Fabr1zio was married
at Newport News to Nathalie Town
send Palmer, OF Middletown, Conn.
On October 6 Mr.. Fabrizio embarked
on a transport and landed in France
two weeks later.
Before leaving camp Lieutenant
Fabrizio, as his bandmaster's posi-
tion entities him. found time to give
two band concerts for the soldiers
iE the Margaret Wilson" hut at
Camp Stuart. After the band con-
cert he gave the boys several violin
solos, "Berceuse," Nine. Townsend:
"Liebesfreud," Kreisler: "Humores-
que" Dvorak; "Valse BIuet," Drigo-
Auer. and Indian Lament" Dvorak.
About 1000 men, officers and pri-
Yates, were present and gave the
violinist an enthusiastic demonstra-
tion. The band concert was repeated
the following evening and at its con-
clusion the hut audience again de-
manded the solos"

PAYS TRIBUTE TO
BARACCA' MEMORY

The tribute to the memory OF Bar
acca. Italian "ace OF aces" by Ca
brieIe D'Annunzio. is such music
in words that its placement in the
columns OF Music in the Home"
seems a fitting message from this
great singer of Italy.
Major Baracca was Italian "ace Of
aces" with thirty-four victories. With
other heroes of the air he sought to
check the last Austrian offensive.
Suddenly his machine, which was hy-
ing less than 100 yards above the
ground. was hit: he himself was
wounded. He knew he was about to
fall alive into the hands Of the foe.
So he shot himself to death.
Another aviator. Gabrielle D'Annun-
zio, one OF the great poets who will
live in history immortalized his
stoicism thus:
ItalJ's Write Son.
He, the swift slayer and destroyer,
who was one of Italy's most virile
sons, asks neither tears nor regrets.
He desires not pious lamentation. but
stern vengeance.
He was naught but a wing of war,
heart and motor, blood aud spirit, soul
and hre, neught but a will to battle,
man and machine. The pinions are
broken and charred, the body Is
broken and charred. And yet who
among us scars as he dies this day?
Whose wings are stronger, whose
fight loftier than his?
He was but a speck in the Inn
mensity OF the heavens. an invisible
vibration in the INFINITE azure. And
now he is the whole ether, the whole
azure to usi His spirit Is demon Of
victory.
He has cast away flesh and wood.
canvas and skin, bones and steel. His
will to conquer. which was a will
from man to man, has passed into
all the combatants of his race, to
scatter death In the ranks OF the foe.
Thus, freed from the body, at the
sacred hour when destiny was about
to be accomplished. he few in the van
of all our armies, he traversed the
battle, thrilling as the lightning Hash,
glorious as the thunderbolt.
He had vanquished thirty-four ad-
versaries, and now he put armies to
rout His glory was no longer a num-
Der, but an immeasurable, unanimous
wing outspread over triumphant
Italy.
HarbInxer of TidInEs.
There are some who grieve that he
had not the joy OF learning the great
news before he died. But did not he
himself bear the tidings alike to the
living and the dead? He was its har-
binger. Say not that his mouth was
mute, sealed with dark blood, among
stones and bushes; his cry rang out
through the lips of all the comba-
tants-
In the heart OF each one Of us he
fought with all his strength. q
strength multiplied till Il became SUI
perhuman. When he aimed, his uner-
ring eve guided our eye. his hrm hand
cIasped our hand.
That evening OF the solstice, which
Is a kind Of solar festival among us
Italians, and this year marks the
apogee Of Roman light, when the
news OF the transhguration and as

"Painters OF the new school know
that such delight IL childish and

of true Illusion. The scene that
elIcits it begins by distracting atten-
ton from the true source OF dramatic

the paradox OF q background OF still

of waves that are forever breaking
and never break-set against world

change, progress. What at best has
been a distraction becomes q tedious
monotony. When Il is not at its best
Il is simply appalling.
"In Rambler Rose to cite the
latest example, the backdrop shows q

which II marked with a distinctness

Friends OF the Musicians Club, in

evening recently when DIR. Walter
Damrosch gave an address on his ex-
periences in France. While the scope
Of his talk ranged from amusing lit
tie incidents Of his trip to heart-mov-
ing stories OF the bombardment OF
Paris by Iong-range guns. DR.. Dam
rosch was unfailingly interesting in
the simplicity and humanity of his
stories. Especially OF interest was

chateau of Chaumont, so well known
to American travellers. and holding

ing been the headquarters of General
Pershing during the days of the
