To the native washingtonisn,
Sousa's marches are particularly near
and dear. for many Of them were hrst
heard when he was director here OF

set them tripping over the green

certs were given-in the days when
Washington was a small city-Just

President Wilson now holds his out

McCORMACK'S RECITAL Is
BROKEN UP BY ANZACS

Dispatches from Adelaide, South
Australia, published in the New York
daily papers on Sunday, describe a
demonstration in that city last Thurs
day night against John Mccormack,
the tenor, which resulted in breaking
up his concert. 1t was announced
that Mr.. Mccormack had cancelled the
other concerts he had planned to
give in that city. According to these
dispatches the sentiment against the
tenor was created by the fact that
his program did not contain the Brit
ish national anthem.
To n representative of Musuical
America Mr.. McCormack's New York
manager, Charles L. Wagner, de-
clared that the anti-McCormack sem
timent in Australia was confined to
a small group of persons who resent
ed the fact that the tenor had become
an American citizen. "The peculiar
part Of II Ia that McCormack's re-
ceipts have not been affected by this
so-called demonstration" said Mr..
Wagner. His first ten concerts In
Sydney showed total receipts of more
than $4,000. As matters now stand
Mccormack Will leave for England
earlier than he had originally planned.
He will sing in France and England
before returning to this country"
II IL understood that Mccormack
will be in America early in the new
year, although Mr.. Wagner was not
prepared to give out definite infor-
nation on the exact time OF his ar
rival.
