Sees Spirit of Religion

CAMP MERRITT, N. j., March IL
In the army disobeying ones superior
officer ordinarily results in punish
ment, but there are times when such
dsobedience results in awards of the
Distinguished Service Cross and the
Military Cross. Chaplain J. r. Ward,
of the 1oSth Infantry, is one Of the
decorated exceptions. On September
20. when the Hindcnberg line was
stormed, he fatty ignored the orders
of four superiors to retire from the
field to Il place of safety
GAS each officer ordered me to stay
away from a different place." Chaplain
Ward said to-day, II would have been
forced behind the lines somewhere if I
obeyed them all. Besides, had a lot
of first aid training that | wanted to
exercise and there were other COM
forts which only chaplain could
render. AS a matter of fact, I was soon
far behind the first wave of infantry.

KAISER TRIES TO
SELL YACHT IN u. S.

NEW YORK, Nov. 17.-Herr Wilhelm
Hohenzollern, erstwhile emperor Of
Germany, is seeking an American pur-
chaser for his famous schooner yacht
Meteor III, after having apparently
failed to dispose of It in Scandinavia,
where it was advertised for sale last
July for S45, 900.
This became known when 40 wealthy
New York yachtmen received letters
from one of the ex-kaiser's agents an
nouncing that the craft. built In Amer
lea, ''as a high tribute to the ability Of
American shipbuilding and a recogni
ton Of the high position the United
States holds in the yachting world" is
on the market. Terms of sale would be
sent on request, the letter added.
The Meteor Ill. conspicuous 70" years
at the regattas of Kiel and Cowes, was
built at Shooters Island, and christen-
ed by Miss Alice Roosevelt in 1902 with
champagne from the former kaiser's
private cellar. Among those who at
tended the ceremony was the late Col.
Theodore Roosevelt, Prince Henry Of
Prussia, and officers high In rank in
the American and German navies.

LHEVTNNE DELIGHTS
IN GOODWIN RECITAL
sY GEORGE

Opening the course OF piano artist
recitais for the season OF 1880 the
Memphis Musical bureau on ,turdav
afternoon presented Josef Lhevinne at
the Goodwin institute 70 an audience
which fairly filled the auditorium, in
Guiding delegations of music lovevs and
students from 0Owns and cities in the
Memphis territory. IN announcing tn $
wonderful Russian as the worlds
greatest pianist the management can
not be a~diudged as having made a seri-
Gus mistake, although all cannot agree
on this.
Lhevinne's terrible experiences dur
ing the period he was iuterned In Ger
many and subjected to all sorts of mis-
treatment have perhaps left their
marks TO some extent on his physical
body, yet his art il ripper than ever and
on this his third appearance here he
proved most satisfying, His PLAYING
shows that his soul and spirit have
been made all the purer for the refin-
ing process through which war car
ried him,
As a model for piano students he is
without a peer, and even the layman
finds exquisite delight In listening 10
him. Without any OF the mannerisns
or appeals to Nhe eye TO make up for
deficiencies In his art, he displays
marvellous mastery Of the keyboard and

to those OF simpler form the beauty and
finish OF the classes, His technique is
excellent and Yet he seems to execute
the most complex passages as easily as
one sits and reads a book. PERHAPS the
most striking features Of his playing
are the wonderful runs be makes with
those deXtrous fingers that trip over
the keys as lightly AS sprites OF spring
zephyrs, vet when he wants them to do
so strike with dynamic force equal to
the blows Of a triphammer. Accentua-
ton is another thing he has mastered,
and his use of the pedals denotes keen
appreciation hat so often is missed by
~so-called artists.
But why try to describe him, when
II is waste OF words? His program was
very attractive and left nothing to be
wished for. Beethoven, Mozart. Chopin
Rubinstein and other masters were the
composers, and each number was de-
lightful. Perhaps most Of h audience
enjoyed the Rubinstein group most,
which closed the program, and no doubt
that master, WHO is said to have been
the spiritual father OF Lhevinne,
would have expressed entire satlsfac-
ton had he heard his pupil in TINS
program.
Mrs. Jason Walker and those who are
cooperating with her in bringing these
master pianist here are doing excellent
work for the musical standard OF TINS
territory and the initial recital is a good
omen as to the remaining part OF the
course.
