Choir by Doctor Wolfe Il largely q
labor OF love. His enthusiasm for the
music OF the great master led him not
only to establish the Bethlehem Choir,
but also during his years of residence
in the West to establish the California
Bach Choir. with which he gave two
festivals and introduced the music Of
the great Leipsic Cantor to that sec
tion of the country. Such work is
bound to bear fruit there as 1t has in
Pennsylvania, and that is the chief am :
bition of Doctor Wolle--to. lead musi-
cally inclined persons to know and ad =
mire the music of Bach.
A s TO the music ITSELF the chief fea
\ ture Of 1t to the musician is its
intense modernity. There are disson-
ances it, especially in the vocal parts
which are as daring ms those even Of
Debussy or Ravel, but with this i'm
portant difference, they are invariably
logical. The hearer never feels for a
moment that they are introduced simply
for the purpose of producing an effect.
Always they fit in perfectly with the
emotional feeling which the words pro
duce at that particular point. The
compositions are almost always strictly
contrapuntal, but the counterpoint is
never in evidence to the detriment OF
the musical quality of the works.
While it cannot be denied that many
of the instrumental compositions of
Bach now sound somewhat archaic, this
is not the case with the vocal works,
which sound as fresh and new as though
they were composed within the last de :
cade and this is especially true of those
in the larger forms. In the smaller
works. such as the cantatas. Bach was
restricted by the length of the service
tthey all take about twenty minutes to
render) and, by reason of the nature
OF the service they are all somewhat
along the same general lines. But In
the large works, like the passion music
the mass, ct cetera, he had no limitation,
except those of his own illimitabls
genius. Here he is at his best, and a,
composer of sacred music, both in
quality and quantity, he has never beer
equaled.
Doctor Wolfe has made probably tn,
most profound and exhaustive study o.
the works of Sebastian Bach of any
man in this country. He has studied
the tradition of the great composer as
well as the actual music. he has giver
unlimited time and labor to the accom-
plishment of his ideal and, as said before
it has doubtless surpassed in achieve
ment his fondest hopes of quarter Of
century ago. To paraphrase a Mos
lem religious saying and German
musical one, ''There is but one Bach
and Wolfe is his prophet

TTyHE famous Bach Choir, of Bethle-
- hem, which gave the most success
ful festival in its history last week,
IL the outcome Of an ideal, and like
most ideals which are translated into
practical form it has had success
Which far surpasses the original con-
ception. 1t is needless to say that this
ideal originated with the man who at
the start. almost unaided, organized this
wonderful choir, DIR. j. Fred Wolfe.
l Since his student days Doctor Wolfe
has been an admirer and a lover OF
Sebastian Bach, and he had an un-
usual opportunity to study his works
at the time when he was a pupil of
Rheinberger. 1t was here that he laid
the foundation for that further study
Of tbe great master which has made
him today the foremost Bach expert
IA. the United States, IL not in the
world.
Eut It is not alone because he knows
Ykch that has enabled him to make
tie Bach Choir what it is today.
Doctor Wolfe has the further faculty,
not vouchsafed to all great musical
Students, of imparting his own love and
Enthusiasm to the members of the
choi-, and this element is what has
given the choir its marvellous success.
or course, the choir has a great Bach
enthusiast and student to guide them
Z into the intricacies of his complex
tiusic, but without the enthusiasm and
fwflingness to attend innumerable re-
lhearsals on the part of the members
los the singing body even this knowl-
ledge, comprehensive as it is, would go
for little.
ITUT this is by no means all that
- Doctor Wolfe has impaired to the
choir. He has given them another thing
(which is almost as important in the ulti-
mate result, and that is the deep re-
ligious feeling with which the works OF
{ the great master must be interpreted.
Bach is essentially a composer of re-
fligious music, and his finest efforts
have been almost all along that line. His
music represents the ecclesiastical spirit
not only of his own day but of all time,
as does that of no other master. In
\ its breadth and form it is too big to be
denominational, as was not the case
with the sacred music of even Beethoven
gne Mozart.
The music of Bach Is sacred music
Of the highest type, and it cannot be
niyen to it's best advantage without the
atmosphere which a performance in a
church gives, and still less, unless the
singers enter thoroughly into the deeply
religious spirit in which the music was
composed. 1t is this element with
which Doctor Wolfe has imbued his
great choir, and this sincerity plays no
emall part in the, at times, overpower-
ing effects that the choir produces.
This Is one of the principal features
Of the annual Bach festivals at Bethle-
hem. The spirit of the entire gathering
and the whole occasion is primarily re-
i;rious, as it must be to interpret Bach
a his best. 1t is Bach in the spirit
q well as in the perfection Of per-
E formance. .... ..l
vXTHAT Doctor Wolfe has done for the
4 w music of Sebastian Bach is probably
not equaled by any other musician in

 Similarly domestic legislation will have Q be enacted to govern flying in this country. The bill has been pre- pared, and I anticipate that within a few weeks of the opening of the new parliament z useful act will come into force. Until this convention and this ! domestic legislation becomes operative there can be no private flying at all, either international or in this country. It would be unfortunate if the devel- opment of civil aviation were retarded owing to the effects of a series of fatal accidents due to the lack of absolutely necessary regulations.
 "The state should require in per | manence a large proportion of the ex- isting military airdromes, and should render them available for general use 1 by leasing sheds to private operational companies, and merely charging a fee | for landing.
 ''The department should undertake | the training of all pilots to be employ i ed on public transport service and map | out and light the aerial routes. The | department should be ready to under

 vices when private enterprise may be found lacking.

Manchester, England, Jan. 27- QCorrespondence of the Associated Press) the next six months the Allies should reach an agreement regulating commercial traffic in the air. and within the next five years it should be as easy and as safe to pilot an airplane through the fog and storm as it is to pilot a ship, asserted Lord Weir, Secretary of State for the Air Forces, before an audience here the other day. In order that ambitious projects now being discussed might be entirely successful, he said, these things were necessary:
 Development of navigational in- struction by really sound and severe navigational training.
 Creation of an energetic meterolog- ical service especially designed to help air transport.
 The adoption of improved systems of wireless telegraphy and telephony.
 The adoption of a first class system of day and night marking of landing places and airdromes.
 "We now possess in substantial numbers, either delivered or in course of construction, airplanes which will carry crew of seven and thirty pas- sengers; which will climb to a height of 10000 feet, and which will travel 1900 miles without a stop,' said Lord Weir. One type can come down at sea, float on the waves and rise again with a full load.
 "We have machines that can land safely at definitely gliding angles en- tirely withp1lt human control. This means that when the pilot can set his instruments by means of q kite balloon anchored in cleaE>air, he will be able to land with safety in an airdrome completely fogbound."
 Lord Weir made it very plain that he did not ii nk the best ends of civ ilization would be served by keeping civil aviation for a government mono poly Cooperation between the state and individuals, he blieved, would bring the best results. The state would of necessity be the pioneer, and i from the present air ministry would spring an air department in the gover-
 nment which would not only control ! the administration of the Royal Air | Forces, the fighting air branch of the British army and navy, but would act ! as lIle SupIFilG Ftutllol ltN- loL LlAt 1C- velOpment of civil aviation. 'The first step of the new ministry would be tha organization of interna- tional flying, that is flying among the different countries. This would in volve an international aircraft conven- ton.

TURN HAIR DARK
 WITH SAGE TEA
If Mixed with Sulphur Il Darkens so Naturally
 Nobody can Tell.

|. The old-time mixture of Sage Tea End Sulphur for darkening gray, streaked and faded hair is grand mothers recipe, and folks are again using 1t to keep their hair a good, ssven color, which is quite sensible, as =e are living in an age when a youth full appearance is of the greatest ad- vantage.
 Nowadays, though, we don't have the troublesome task of gathering the sage and the mussy mixing at home. All drug stores sell the ready-to- use product, improved by the addition of other ingredients called "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" It is very popular because nobody can discover it has been applied. Simply moisten your comb or a soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morn ing the gray hair disappears, but what delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound, is that, be- sides beautifully darkening the hair after a few applications, it also pro- duces that soft lustre and appearance of abundance which is so attractive.

GERMANS FEARED NECROESG2EATLY
Wherever They Appear Attract Great Attention From
 Civilians.

With The American Army of Occu- patton, Jan. -(Correspondence of the Associated Press) - Wherever negroes have appeared in the area occupied by the Americans they have attracted great attention among the civilians. In Treves, Coblenz and other places, during the early days of the occupation, crowds assembled wherever any negro soldiers stopped in the streets and 1t was necessary for the military police to enforce the orders prohibiting gatherings In the public thoroughfares. Even yet In Coblenz and Treves, where there are number of negro soldiers, the ne- groes attract crowds of German chill dren.
 The German soldier also regards the negro with great curiosity. Ac- cording to a discharged German sol diers in Refgsdorf the German army. early in the war offered a reward of four hundred marks for the capture alive of each negro. The discharged German soldier said that throughout the war German soldiers greatly feared the negroes, and it was in or der to overcome this fear that re- wards were offered.
 One evening on the front a scout ing party, consisting of ten Germans including the discharged soldier, en- countered two French negroes. In ( fight which followed two of thG scouting party were killed. One o1 the negroes escaped, the other being taken prisoner. During the fight two of the Germans left their comrades and ran to the protection of theil own trenches, but these, it was ex. | plained, were young soldiers and un. trained. The reward of four hun. dred marks subsequently, was divided ! among the six Germans for captur. ing the French negro

Hartford, Conn, Jan. 27.-A re- view of the activities in Connecticut of the United States department of justice given out from the office of the district attorney, shows that dur ing 1918 there were about 1000 in- vestigations and although many vio- lations of the Federals laws were found, prosecuted and punished there were no alarming plots or fnsidious and dangerous propaganda unearth- ed
 The department had 14 investiga- tors in this state and the help of 150 men and women of the American protective league. An auxiliary of the league which the department termed "eyes and ears," numbered thousands and reported all sorts of things, important and trival.
 Twenty-two men were sentenced to the Federal prison, in Atlanta from the United States district court n Connecticut during 1918. Nine were sent to Atlanta during 1917.
