 From letter o Literary
 In immediate response the following editorial uDas published The Literary Digest of Oct. 3Oth: VATHEN JESUS CHRIST CAME UPON wv the earth nearly two thousand years
 ago, to save all mankind, his mere coming seemed to interfere with the material interests of few people of that period, notably King Herod, who promptly decided to dispose of this 'interloper," and sent forth his soldiers with orders to slay all the children of two years old and under. Thus was consummated the most atrocious crime against innocent child nOOQ ever COIIlIlllICcu up CO LldC lI IIdS come down to us through all the ages in song and story, and master painters have pictured it on marvellous canvases.
 Today passing in review, as we look out through the windows of our comfortable homes in this great and happy land, are three and half millions of helpless children, the innocent victims of the greatest war that has ever afflict- ed humanity It matters not, as we gaze in the direction of these children, that our eyes must stretch across three thousand miles of ocean, we still can see them and we still can hear them, if we wish to do so and we can not help hearing the tragic appeal in their voices and seeing their tiny arms stretched out to us, and their search ing eyes looking into our souls, as they say, sHelp us, or we perish" And if we fail to listen to this great call of three and half millions of Gods helpless children; if we close our eyes and ears to this great demand of duty, we shall be just as guilty of the Slaughter of the innocents as was Herod, nearly two thousand years ago. In these lands, swept by death and filled with tragedies too deep for tears, sum of human suf- fering is being written greater perhaps than for all ages gone by. The mind grows numb and the heart sick from constant recital of tales of such tragedy as it is difficult to believe the twentieth century could hold.
 And so, when we received letter from Mr. Hoover telling us that America must not allow death in the form of hunger and cold to come to these $500, 900 helpless children our soul was stirred and the hot blood surged up in our heart We felt it was our imperative duty to use all the power God has given us to aid this noble-hearted American in continuing the work of saving human lives to which he has devoted unsparing-

It would be difficult to say which
work appealed most to Europeans. In
Paris Damrosch was recalled nine times
after Ravel's "Daphnis and Chloe >
while Wagner's "Mastersingers" raised
the audience in Monte Carlo to the
greatest enthusiasm. 1t was the first
time any German music had been
played there since 1914. The British
showed deep appreciation of the Wag-
ner program at the third concert.
The strain of travelling about the
Continent was extremely great, as the
orchestra ran into several strike CEN

be held to Van Cortlandt and Bronx
Parks. The same play centers as
those used last year will be opened
with the following new grounds:
In public schools 1877, 38, 1O7. 16,

LONDON, June 30.-The return Of
the New York Symphony Orchestra to
the United States marks the end of a
Walter Damrosch and his musicians
Travelled through Europe, he was told
that they were spreading the best kind
of American propaganda. No American
who on foreign soil heard him play
"The Star-Spangled Banner" but was
thrilled with pride in his country. Just
to have Europeans hear that one piece
was worth all the expense to which
Harry Hardness Flagler and his asso-
cates we're put.
The orchestra visited seventeen cities
and gave twenty-eight performances on
the Continent before it completed its
tour with series Of concerts here.
France, Italy, Belgium and Holland
We're visited, and everywhere the audi
ences were enthusiastic. Most of the
French composers-Messag ager, Bruneau,
RabaUd, Masson-congratulat Dam
Opera.
In Rome he had similar triumph.
There he was made an Officer Of the
Crown of the King, and the Municipal
Band presented him with the Roman
gold medal In Monte Carlo, where
an American orchestra was appearing
for the first time, the audience was
wildly enthusiastic.
Honored by Londoners
His opening performance in Queens
Hail. London, was attended by the
American Ambassador, Lord Reading
and scores of others prominent in Of
fetal life. The great hall was comfort
ably filled and long applause followed
the completion of every piece. The
British musical critics paid him high
honor and the orchestra was described
as second to none"
"a brilliantly effective ending to
a delightful concert-through out
which, as it is hardly needful to add
Mr.. Damrosch, as conductor, proved
himself once again tower of
strength is the way in which the
musical critic of "The Westminster
Gazette" ended his report of the sec
ond concert here, the scheme of which
was completed with John Powell's "Ne-
gro Rhapsody"
Mr.. Damrosch is more than pleased
with the tour. He feels that the
huge undertaking has justified itself.
He carries home with him many
interesting menentos of the trip, not
the least priced of which is an en-
craving of Beethoven on the margin. of
which are the autographs of all the
leading French composers of the day.
The French have a warm place in
their hearts for him because cf his
devotion to French art, his work for
France in America and his trip through
France in the interest of their Red
Cross organization. Two old friends,
Sir Henry Wood and Sir Edward Flgar.
both Of whose works he has produced
in America, greeted him in England.
The Lord Mayor Of London, who is
a patron of music, gave a reception in
honor of the orchestra and also attend

dents of London who acted as pa
irons of his concerts included the
