GENTILES AID
JEWISH RELIEF
Result Shows Big Increase in
Funds For Latter in
Europe

New York, Dec. 10.-The remark
able way in which the country has
responded to the cry for relief from
the 100000 starving Jewish peo-
pie of Eastern Europe, is shown in
a report made public by Henry ii.
Rosenfelt, director of the American
Jewish Relief Committee, which
has completed campaigns in about
half of the states of the Union.
For the first time in the history
of the Jewish race. Jew and GEN
tile worked side by side this year to
alleviate the intense suffering OIL
millions of Jews throughout East
ern Europe. American Jewry had
borne alone the heavy burden or
caring for their suffering kinsmen
in the Eastern war zone through
out the four years of war, but with
the signing of the armiStice, the
terrible condition of Eastern Euro
pean Jews disclosed, proved too
hercuIean a task for the Jews OF
this country to attempt TO carry
alone. So Gentle Joined with Jew
and the gratifying results or TINS
most radical departure from jew
ish traditions. is shown by com.
parison of this years and the 1910
campaign. -
During 1918, slightly over So
100000 was raised throughout the
country, according to Mr.. Rosen-
felt. So far this year, with but halt
of the state campaigns held, sll'-
266.3S5 has been raised. The new
policy of the American jewish he
lief Committee in waging their cam
paigns irrespective of race or
creed, has brought in over $z,oOO,-
900 more this year, than the entire
country produced in 1913.
All Creeds Co-operated
"The outstanding feature of these
campaigns has been the whole
hearted cooperation of people OF
every creed" declared Mr.. Rosen-
felt. "Non-Jews everywhere nave
not only contributed generously, put
have taken active part in the OF
ganization of the drives and nave
given, without stint, of their time
and effort.
'The campaigns held have been.
without exception, operated wltnous
regard to the religious pelleIS y.
those participating-the non-JeWs
welcoming the opportunity to give
to Jewish relief because of their
desire to aid our starving people
and because also of their wish to
recinrocate the aid which leading
Jewish citizens have invariably
given to all humanitarian causes.
Mr.. Rosenfelt pointed out that 1t
was estimated that of the $i'lIo,-
600 raised in Pittsburgh and sur.
rounding counties, fully one-hait
was contributed by non-Jewish citi-
zens. This is representative or
drives all over the country ne
added. This cooperation is of
value not only because it means
additional funds for our suffering
people in Eastern Europe, but pc
cause it has had a permanent er-
feet on the relationship of Jews
and non-Jews in America, bringing
them closer together than they
have ever been before, breaking
down barriers of prejudice and Gre
ating a spirit of goodwill and CO.
operation"

Congressman Cutting
Deportation Red Tape

Washington, Dec. 10.-Members

elimination of some of the steps now
necessary to close deportation cases
is the object to be attained.
Amendment to the present law
will take the form of a time limit,
30 days being suggested in which all
hearings must have been given and
a decision made after the arrest of
an undesirable for deportation.

What so proud ly we hailed

1t is thus that our audiences sing it
when they sing, and the reason is that
it is thus that it has been handed
down from preceding generations.
We may add that this is the way it
ought to be sung, because it is the
better way. Not only the better, but
the proper way if the laws of prosody
are entitled to respect
Why, then, has Mr. Damrosch per
sisted in an attempt to force an I'M
popular and an incorrect reading upon
the pubic The answer is particu-
larly interesting from the fact that
Mr.. Damrosch has done so in defiance
of his own Judgment, but in com
pliance with q mandate which he re-
ceived from the majority Of q COM
mlttee-of which he was member,
appointed by the United States Commits
sioncr Of Education which undertook
the vain task of securing uniformity
IN the performance Of the air. "stand-
ard Eng" 1T, year or more ago. The
committee consisted OF John Philip
Sousa, Walter Damrosch, O. G.. Son
neck, A. J. Gantyoort and VIII Ear
hart. Measure by measure, the words
and melody of the song were discussed
and voted on and by vote Of three
to two the righteous minority con-
sisting OF Messrs. Sousa and Dam
roschl the first version was decreed.
Loyalty to the committee has led Mr..
Damrosch TO adhere TO the reading.
Asked for the reason advanced by the
majority for their action, MIR Dam
rosch answered: Because of the false
accentuation in the second verse,
which would have resulted in the
words foes naughty hosts if our
version that Of Sousa and HIMSELF
had been accepted
Singular reasoning this. This line is
daciyllic in the. original "Anacreontic"
song and is dactyllic in every Amer
lean paraphrase from the beginning.
To make the words proudly we
hailed" foes naughty hosts" "(Be-)
tween their loved (home)," "ramparts
we watched" "ftfully blows" "pow'r
that hath (madc)" and so on drag
along in uniform step is to rob the
melody at this point Of it's strength
and assertiveness. Users of popular
slang would say that 1t takes the "pcp"
out Of it; and they would say the truth
The effect Of the three plodding
hcayy-footed notes, in place of &
sprightly energetic dactyl Cone long
and two shorts) is obvious enough in

into the corresponding lines of the

What 80 proud ly we hailed

The Symphony Society's orchestra
and that of the Paris Conservatoire
were the only bands that played this
version of the measure, the agreement
between the two organizations having
been brought about by the circum-
stance that Mr.. Damrosch gave NJ.
Messenger his setting Of the melody
for use on the American tour of the
French musicians. At all the theatres,
at the metropolitan Opera House, the
concerts Of the Philharmonic Society
and Boston and Russian orchestras
and at concert of the military band
from Governors Island the measure in
this period of the melody and again
on its repetition is uniformly played
with its first note a dotted quarter and
its second an eighth, thus:

The Woes OF ON Anthem

tiful have little weight. With, that
melody, which is a good, stiff tune,
patriotic song has held commerce almost
as long as we have had an American
hepuOuc. 1t is not likely that the mel
ody will ever be divorced from patri-
otto sentiment. But Keys poem is not
of the national anthem type. 1t is of
the nature of historical NARRATIVES; it
refers to a specific incident in the past
not IN itself overwhelmingly signif-
cant 1t is neither an invocation like
"God Save the King" nor a challenge
like Gallons, enfants de la Patrie."
And it is not, officially, the American
national hymn. No authority has pre-
scribed it except a Secretary of the
Navy, who set it apart for morning col
ors. One of the consequences of the fact
that it has no official standing is that
there is no officially authentic version
of either the words or the melody.
little more than ten years ago Mr.
O. G. Sonneck, chief of the music
division of the Library of Congress,
was instructed by the librarian to in
vestigate the history of "The Star
Spangled Banner" "Hail, Columbia"
"America" and yankee Doodle" and
after much painstaking research Mr..
Sonneck wrote a "report" of great
value and interest, which was printed
in 1909.
In 1914 Mr.. Sonneck wrote an
amended report on "The Star-Spangled
Banner" In this report he included
material which provides evidence on
nearly every question that can be
raised concerning the patriotic song. 1t
contributes to the controversy which,
so far has not received wide public
expression of late, but has certainly
existed in the public mind, as to the
rhythmical structure of two lines in
each stanza of the song Persons in
the audiences in the Metropolitan
Opera House and at every concert in
the city who have wished to sing
stanza of "The Star Spangled Banner"
were thrown into confusion at the con-
certs of the Symphony Society be-
cause Mr.. Damrosch insisted on de-
claiming the fifth measure of the mel
ody as three straight quarter notes.
thus:
