of kindness which in the mind OF
Major Higginson made a change Of con

When he came the second time he was
free to remain as long as he felt dis
posed to do so. for to Major Higgin-
son. at least, he was all that con-
ductor ought to be. There can be no
question IN my mind that the bur
den of care and disappointment which
incidents of the war placed upon the
founder Of the Boston Orchestra had
much to DO with crushing the spirit
of man who knew how bravely 10
face adversity, but could not N his
old age withstand a cruel buffet to
artistic ideals cherished for an entire
generation.
Much surprise has been expressed
that Major Higginson made no pro.
vision in his Will for the future Of
the orchestra. 1t is doubtful if this
surprise was felt by those best ac-
quainted with the history Of the in
stitution. He was not given to talk
about his intentions with regard to the
orchestra, though he gave some of his
friends to understand ten or twelve
years ago that if he were TO die the
orchestra would 60 on. II was sup

over the Muck scandal may have played
rs part in bringing about such a
change Of mind, but II Is possible also
that the octogenarian felt that his full

done and thnt he was justified in ex-

questionaDly his benefactions amounted

times reached from $4,000 20 $4,000

THE MEANING OF THE AGE

No greater drama ever held life's
stage.
Its the birth Of better things we
view
Now from the dust and world of An.
cient Age.
Men march into the glory of the
The Sun of freedom rises DER the
hills
The joys that dreamers visioned
are to be
With hope and faith the pulse OF
mortal thrills
The souls of men are shortly to be
free.
Behold the ending of all tyrant ways
Witness the passing Of conceited
kings
The children that shall come in hap
pier days
Shall be the heirs to all life's treas
ured things.
Justice and truth and not the chance
of birth,
Shall mark the man wherever he
NAV duya11
Integrity alone shall prove his worth
And power be his who learns to
use it we'll.
Ages have come and swiftly passed
away
And tried to smile though burdened
down with wrongs,
Few eyes have caught the vision OF
today
Dead poets left but glimpses in
their songs.
Dead sages daring grim oppression s
Dlaue
Ventured to tell their dreams OF
liberty
Yet those who heard believed not
were afraid
Or thought it vain to struggle to be
free.
Now fall the chains and now the
kings depart
The despot and the tyrant stand at
bay,
The fires of freedom glow in every
heart.
And real become the dreams Of
yesterday.
This is the age dead poets told in
song
This is the age dead sages said
would be.
Mankind is breaking down the walls
of wrong
The souls of men are shortly to be
free.

were within hearing. The weather

(By Associated Press.)

Martin, of the British trawler King
Stephen who, from fear of treachery,
refused to take off the crew of the dis
abled Zeppelin Lie in the North Sea
in February, 1916, died II months
later of nervous collapse caused by
the mistaken belief that he had been
poisoned. This and other facts con-
corning the incident now are available
for the first time and 1t is possible to
tell the story in detail. It is believed
here that the IS Germans composing
the crew of the Lie persisted.
The action of Captain Martin evek-
ed denunciations of alleged British
inhumanity" in the German press,
which compared the affair to the cele-
brated Baralong case. 1t is claimed
here that public opinion upheld Cap
tain Martin in his position that IL he
had taken the Germans on board the
trawler they would have captured the
vessel and unarmed his crew of ten
/. men. It will be recalled that the
Rev. Arthur W. Ingram, Bishop OF
London, publicly declared, 1--WE ought
to stand by skipper. The Germans
have killed chivalry in wartime.
Because of his action, Captain Mar
tin, it is learned, received a number
Of letters threatening his life About
II months after the North Sea Incl
dent, he became ill after smoking a
| cigarette from a package sent him by
mail and he was convinced that the
cigarette contained poison. Analysis
Of the tobacco proved that his fears
were nnfounded but he never recov-
cred from the shock. The verdict of
his physician was that he had died
from sheer fright.
The Lie had taken part in a raid
over the midland counties Of England
in which 67 non-combatants were
killed and III injured. The Zeppelin
was damaged by gunfire and com

where Captain Martin of fthe King
Stephen folund her resting in the wa
ter. According to Captain Martins
story the zeppelin's commander Of
fered a reward II he would take off
the German crew but Martin refused
saying, II don't trust you"
II had talked 1t over with George
Denny, my mate" Captain Martin is
quoted as saying, land we agreed that
II we lowered boat and sent some of
the crew to the Zeppelin they would
be kept as prisoners until we did as
the Germans wished, which would
probably be that in the end We should
have them take charge of the ship il
they came on board, or il we refused
to fetch them off they would carry the
crew Of our boat down with them. I
was determined to take no risks.
knew what the Germans had done to
my class in the North Sea, and, be-,
sides, Zeppelin crews dropping bombs
on houses and killing women and
children didn't appeal to me. There
were IS Germans and only ten Of us
and you could scarcely imagine their

There were two to one.

nice feeling to leave Is men to

others set up a howl. Their rage was
