Matzenauer is not under such neces-

almost ANYTHING and do il well, even
music which is far beyond the range OF
the ordinary cOntralto voice, as witness
her performance of the Brunnhilde

nun, of German extracton-Sister Cene--of
the Convent of the Poor Servants of Mary Immacu-
late, Rue Boduognat 10, Brussels, lodged complaint
with the German authorities against her superoress
and sisters in religion. 1t concerned certain difficult
ties regarding the internal order of the convent and
ought consequently to have been brought before
tribunal.
My curia adopted attitude of great condescen-
sion toward the German administration and showed
special favor to Sister Cene by placing her. at the
request of Baron der Lancken in the Ursuine
Convent at Haecht, where the superoress is Ger
man. In spite Of these conciatory proceedings
our part, the German tribunal summoned to appear
before it the superoress of the Convent of the Poor
Servants Of Mary Immaculate and condemned her to
two years and nine months imprisonment; Sister St.
Pierre was sentenced to two and one-haf months
Imprisonment and finally Sister ST. Paul to eighteen
months Imprisonment -
Notwithstanding the fact that Sister Celine was
received into her community out of charity and with
out dowry the German authorities have compelled
the superioress of the convent in the Rue Boduognat
to pay the German superoress at Haecht 1000 marks
toward Sister Celine's maintenance.

THO His Excellency Baron Fakenhausen, Gov
ernor General, Brussels
Sir-In your letter of the 18th ult. your Excel
lency was good enough to write me that you
inclined to meet the wishes of the Belgian episco
pate in church matters whenever such brought to
your notice. On the other hand, you insist deter
mining the limits of the jurisdictions proper to the &C.
cesiastcal authorities.
On this point l am in agreement with your EX-
cellency, with this reservation however, that ques
tions bearing the moral order cannot be alien to
episcopal jurisdiction and consequently cannot be
moved from my
1t is from the moral point of view that have
expressed an opinion certain measures taken by
the occupying power and formed judgment as to

ward it.
On the other hand, the occupying power ignored

mann, Brahms. Franz. Grieg or any
one of number of others and do them
in convincing and artistic manner.
there will be little doubt in the minds
of the audience that he or she is capa-
BILE of operate work. at least so far as
the vocalization goes, and that is all
that an operate aria on concert pro-
gram can show at best.
OF course exception must be made in
the case of ColoraturP singers. They
are a class by themselves and the lit
erature of the colorature is almost eX-
clusively operate. There are a few
separate numbers. such as those Of Ben
edict. which have been composed for the
coloratura singers, but as rule they
are highly unmusical and simply de-
signed TO show off a technique, which
in singing as in playing is not the
highest form of art imaginable
The literature of the voice is unques
tionably the largest and the most varied
of any in music. and most of II was
written primarily for the use OF the
concert singer. Therefore, with this
rich fund upon which TO draw, there

THE deaths of Maud Powell and

removed two more prominent figures
from the musical life of the United

public careers in totally different lines.
and both in their different ways did
much for the cause of the tonal art OF
their native land.

While your predecessor was still at the head

two of my young priests, the Revs. Van Roy and
Van Bergen, rebel against my authority. Without
having sought the permission of their ecclesiastical
superiors, they deserted their posts visited offices of
your administration, where they obtained permission
to pass into Germany We have learned from news

received passports for Gottingen.
These two refractory priests, suspended by their
bishop, exercising their ministry contrary to
canon law at Gottingen.

end.i
tried by every means in my power to get your
predecessor to grant and the Holy See has degned
to make repeated applications to Berlin to obtain per-
mission for Belgian priests in communion with their
bishops, at least Dutch priests to exercise their
ministry for the benefit of our countrymen.
All these efforts have been met by an obstinate
refusal on the part of the German authorities. Only
priests who at loggerheads with their bishops
joy the favors of the Empire in Germany.
In the interests of ecclesiastical discipline on the
one hand, and of countrymen interned in Germany
on the other, I beg your Exceency to be so kind
to bring the Revs. Van Roy and Van Bergen back
to Belgium and to authorize the Belgian bishops to
send their countrymen, whether soldiers civilians
