MUSICAL.

The second Of the series of musicals
being given in Wauwatosa under the
auspices of the Council of Defense,
for the benefit of suffering Armenians,
was given at the High School last
Friday evening. The attendance was
good, and those present enjoyed the
entire program with keen interest.
The Toy Symphony, consisting of
eighteen toy instruments and several
violins, was unique and pleasing
music was produced by use of chill
dren's toys, which has heretofore been
considered absolutely impossible, and
met with loud applause. The per
formers were members of the Tuesday
Musical club, Mrs. L. Wrangell being
conductress. Mrs. Huntley Wherry,
who acted as accompanist the greater
part of the evening, rendered very
efficiently her selections on the piano,
showing fine technique throughout.
Mrs. Ludwig Wrangell showed her
complete mastery of the violin, and
won the hearty applause Of the aud
fence by her playing. Mr.. Philip
Nolte, so well known and enjoyed by
Wauwatosa lovers of music, gave two
splendid numbers on the Cello, and
graciously responded to the hearty sn-
plause following. His brother, Robert,
who accompanied him on the piano,
did equally well, and Wauwatosa may
well be proud of these two young
men,. Miss Clementine Malek, known
and loved in all musical circles, gave
several vocal selections in her clear
and powerful voice. Her poise and
manner of rendition are exceedingly
charming. Her final selections of
''The Marsellaise" and "Peace Tri-
umphant" were especially appropriate
to the times, and as she closed her
inimitable rendition Of the grand
finale of the latter song, a storm of
applause broke out which was unani-
nous and prolonged. Miss Edythe
Currie very efficiently accompanied
Miss Malek on the piano. The violin
duet rendered by Mrs. Wrangell and
Miss Helen Severance was a treat en-
joyed by all present. At the close of
the program Rev. H. o. Davies spoke
on behalf of all present in extending
hearty thanks to each and every one.
who had so freely and happily given
her services during the program for
the sake of the war sufferers. A silver
offering was taken which amounte / to
$72.50, with more to be received.
Announcement was made that the
third and last musical of the series
would be given on May 15. But be-
fore that union meeting viii be held
at the Underwood Memorial Baptist
Church next Sunday evening, May 9Th,
at which time stereopticon slides will
be shown of the Armenians and Bel
gians, with a silver offering for the
benefit of these terrible sufferers.

If the laborer does not like his
wages of course he can strike, but he
must not forget that the Kaiser once
proposed, on his own initiative, law
making strikes punishable by three to
FIVE years of penal servitude. Against
sickness. non. unemployment, and desti.

shrewdly protects him. in part, of
course, at his own expense. He will
have to pay large share of his slen-

leave the country, he will lose all he
has paid in! There's a reasoni 1t is
an indirect method OF restoring serf-

within the bounds of his own country,
so that he and his children may fur

cannon fodder.
The GeTman-American who loves
freedom and the blessings of peace
cannot therefore love a system, which
is the deadly foe of both. "Kultur" /.

Thomas Mann, is spiritual organi-

picture of German Imperialism is only
too true, is it astonishing that it holds
out little attraction TO anyone who
knows it for what it is. Is it astonish-

who has gone back to pass his old age
