ance with the section Of the constitu-
tion quoted above. Several subjects
were discussed, but finally it was re-
solved to contribute $4,000 to the build
ing Of the Mozart Memorial Theater
in Salzburg, and $500 to the Public
Library of New York for the purchase
OF some needed books Of reference.
What the gift of $1,000 when trans
lated into Austrian forms looked like
to the promoters of the Salzburg en-
torprise can only be imagined. 1t is
safe to say that it is the largest single
contribution when they have received

acknowledgment they stated that the

Home fer the Association
Now Being Planned
The remainder of last seasons earn
ings has been put aside as fund for
future use. Meanwhile, at Pittsfeld,
after the conclusion Of the fourth
Chamber Music Festival on October
there was an informal meeting Of mem
bsrs OF the association at which opin-
ions were exchanged touching the ad :
visibility of introducing a club feature
into the association. 1t was argued by
some of the leading spirits that rooms
in which the members could meet for
social Intercourse and to rehearse have
become a necessity and that one of
the chief benefits OF such q meeting
place would be felt by visiting artists
Of high rank from foreign lands, who
might learn from their colleagues here
something about the tastes and re-
quirements Of American audiences 1t
is thought that money sufficient to pur-
chase or lease such a home for the
association may be obtained from some
of its wealthy patrons, so that the
policy of dcvoting its earnings TO an
educational institution or project may
be continued. lnasmuch as the club
will never become numerically large,
the conventionally comprehensive scope
of such institutions is not contem-
plated. Meeting rooms in convenient
locality offering The desirable seclusion
is thought TO be the first requisite
Then it is planned to establish connec-
ton with a first class restaurant, the
character of whose clientele will large
ly be determined by the patronage Of
the members of the association. Such
meeting places for artists of various
kinds are features of France and Ger
many. They always have been and
have taken the place Of what is club
life in America. Beethoven used to
meet his friends at cafes known az
"The Golden Pear" "The Swan and
especially "The Savage C"Zum widen
Mann") in Vienna. Perhaps the great
American composer who is to come will
meet his companion at an historic cat
ing house, which will become famous
because Of the forcgatherings within
its walls OF the Beethoven Association,
whose membership list is now COM
posed as follows:

Balloonists Criticised.
Questions About the Purpose AMI

To THE New YORK HERALD: Now that
the three Navy bafloonists have re-
turned to civilization it may be asked
what purpose their flight was expected
or designed to serve.
The only public explanation / have
seen is that they were expected to learn
something OF air currents, but the latest
returns seem to indicate that they were
without any instruments TO test these
currents other than their own lungs. 1t

landed in the trackless forest without

That Havana Telephone.

The announcement that Havana and
New York are to have direct telephone
connection will be received by the en-
terprising righteous with approval.
The wicked will not be joyful, how
ever. 1t has been observed in the
last year that large number of per-
sons have been called to Havana on
business of the most important nature.
They have been summoned to keep the
snow off their sugar trees, or to in
stall heating systems for the hired
help on their cocoanut bush planta-
tions, or to buy fur hats for the boys
who pluck pineapples from the vines.
To tell these energetic voyagers,
who have already laid down several
years excuses for going to Cuba, that
they can do all their work by tele-
phone will bring scowl and not a
smile. They want to- be on the spot.
1t Is understood that they do their
Cuban business best in the clubhouse
ut the racetrack, on the roof of the
Two Brothers restaurant, on a dele
brated veranda not far from the Punta
or at a table in any one of the many
bodegas where you can get glass of
water, under the law, for the mere
asking. A telephone is all very well
in Its way, but there Is no means of
transmitting a Daiquiri cocktail or a
glass Of Spanish sherry by wire.

Willem Mengelberg conducted his Sec
ond programme yesterday afternoon
with the National Symphony Orchestra
at Carnegie Hall. He began his enter
tainment with the first symphony 81
Gustave Mahler. which Mr.. Stransky
had directed In the same place on the
last day OF 1920. or course II was
merely coincidence that two conduc-
tors selected the same composition to
be given within two weeks. 1t Is always
a coincidence. Conductors are never
guilty OF Intentional rivalry in their in
terpretadons.
But why go to so much trouble over
Mahler's first symphony? To be sure. 1t
is not so great a bore as some OF his
later and more ponderous efforts. 1t is
tiresome just because 1t is childish. 1t
suggests to the hearer q metaphysician
trying to be sportive. The composer
wrestles with folk themes, throws them
and rolls them on the polyphonic mat
and looks for applause. But when all Is
finished the verdict might be summed
up In q slight transposition OF certain
famous words of Beethoven, "Mehr
Mahlerei ais Ausdruck der Empfin-
dung" which cannot be translated.
Mr.. Mengelberg believes in Mahler.
He has long labored to convince music
lovers In Amsterdam that they ought to
snare his faith. Naturally he makes
some movement In the same direction
here. especially since symphonic mate
rial possessing the attraction of unfa-
niliarity is not plentiful. Mr.. Mengel-
berg may not have known that Mr..
Mahler hailed MIR. Stransky as the one
man who understood his music. But let
that pass
l. Mr.. Mengelberg's reading Of the first
sy mphony was most sympathetic. II
had been as carefully rehearsed as the
union OF musicians would permit 1t to
be, and 1t was generally well played.
Rut all the finesse Of the anxiously
nnalyzed presenta ton accomplished MOTH
ing but a more complete exposure of the
l,ald Spots. The performance deepened
the conviction that in time Mr. Mengel-
berg will improve the playing of the
orchestra To raise II to the first rank
there will have TO be sofne sweeping
changes In the organization, and prob
ably no one knows that better than the
new conductor.
Another violinist from Russia was in
troduced at this concert. His name Is
Alexander Schmuller. who made his
American debut. He was heard In the
Tschaikowsky concerto. which all violin
lists know is formh ably difficult. Few
moments of the work had passed be-
fore all well informed listeners realized
that MIR. Schmuller must have selected
it because 1t was hard, for 1t quickly
became clear that this was violin
virtuoso Of the brilliant" type. His
technic is his chief capital. He plays
with a good. IL not great tone. with
generally accurate intonation, with a
mastery command of intricacies. with
an elastic bow, with a swiftness and
certainty altogether exhilarating. In the
pages asking for poetic expression Mr..
Schmuller attained a moderate degree
of sentiment. His playing has glittering
surface, but no great depth. OF course
he was heartily applauded. and there

Those High School Essays.

1t Is always interesting, when the
grownups OF the world are confronted
with Il big national problem. TO know
what youth thinks about Ii. So it may
be expected that the question which
THE New YORK HERALD has put to
the fourth classes of the high schools
of this city will produce answers
worth reading.
The Civics Essay Contest, begun
two weeks ago, will end week from
to-day, January u, at midnight. Then
the Judges, the Hon. ALTON B. PARKER,
Mr.. WILLIAM FELLowEs MORGAN and
Miss SARA A. CoNBoY, will set about
making the awards of 800, $50 and
$50 which THE New York HERALD
offers for the best three essays in
answer to the question: "In view Of
the present industrial conditions and
social unrest, what obligations are in
cumbent upon the American cltizen?"
The contest, which was to have
closed tonight, has been extended at
the request of a number of high school
students, who wished more time for
the completion Of their essays. The
competition, which is limited to fourth
year students, is conducted with the
approval Of DR.. WILLIAM L. ETTINGER,
the City Superintendent Of Schools,
and under the direction of Mr.. JOHN
L. TILDsLEY, superintendent in charge
of high schools. All entries should
be sent to the Contest Editor Of this
newspaper. $50 Broadway.

it's readers to the three winning es-
says. On this live topic the papers
should be of keen interest.

No Place for \ Fine Pup.
Fire Dogs Doubly Hit by the volstead
Law and Motor Apparatus.

To THE New York HERALD: over In
the quarters of Hook and Ladder Com
pany /, in Duane street just OF Broad
way. there is the cutest little black dog
one would want to see.
Some years ago when the old Astor
House was in its glory the old dog ped
Ter who stood near the hotels main
entrance was familiar sight. He used
to have a little dog, sometimes two. in
his arms and IS was the usual price for
each dog. An oldtimer who saw the
little pup in the engine house declares
it is easily worth $40 on the basis of
the old dog pedler,s prices.
Nevertheless some or the men are
thinking OF placing an advertisement in
the paper to read like this: "For adop-
ton: A pretty little black dog. Very
playful and has an enormous appetite.
Can be carried in ones coat pocket.
Present home too dangerous"
you see." said one of the flrem ~,
this mutt win eat US out of-1iouse and
home il we don't watch out. In the old
days of free lunch it would not be so
bad because our buff could grab a hunk
of bologna now and then. but since the
Bedstead or yolstead law there Is moth
ing doing.
Besides It's very dangerous here.
With the big motor apparatus and the
two snow tractors in here, the little

Telltale Barnacles.
They Fixed the Date When Sub
marine Was Sunk.

From the London Times.
At the scientific reunion which is TAX
ing place at the Natural History Mu-
scum in connection with the Imperial
Conference Of Entomologists, the depart
fnent Of zoology shows parts Of a sunken
German submarine which were received
in 1918 fronf the salvage officer of the
Admiralty.
The object was to determine, IL pos
sIbie, the date of sinking. which was
considered very important. The parts
shown have marine animals growing on
them, and by means Of microscopic In
.yestigations the department was able to
inform the salvage officer that the sub
marine had been sunk for at least six
months. This proved to- the Admiralty
that Il was not the one they thought had
been accounted for, as II had been seen
about after the date In question, and
consequently further energy was sue
ccssfully concentrated on finding the
missing submarine.
The department Of mineraiogy has an
almost equally interesting exhibit en-
titled Source of the materials used In
the German concrete defence works on
the western front" The Allies suspected
in 1915 that the Germans were using
some OF the sand and gravel they were
bringing by the Dutch waterways to Bel
gium for war purposes.
The Germans stated that this material
was only for use in restoring Belgian
roads, but during September. 1917. the

sent for direct comparison with the large
collection OF German rocks In the Nat

found that the suspicion that some .of
the pebbles were fragments OF igneoas
