Paris. Aug. q.
Were it not for the personal encour-
agement OF Liszt az Weimar fifty-three
years ago and the subsequent accept
ance OF Samson ct Della" by German
critics as one of the great operas. Saint
Saenss masterpiece never would have
advanced beyond the form of a two
part oratorio. This surprising admission
is made by Saint-Saens himself in a
letter to a friend just published here, in
which the composer complains in un-
mistakable terms of the coldness with
which the French audiences received The
work.
THE oratorio was the only form of
such music then favored in France" he
wrote. but an amateur poet, Fernand
Lemaire suggested writing an opera.
The biblical opera idea astounded every
body. but we set 20 work. Although the
prelude had been arranged for an
oratorio, / succeeded in writing three
roles from n single note of orchestra
tion, for the purpose OF trying them out
on n few personal friends.
The result-no single compliment,
not even of politeness. and for many
years only the second act was sung as
a chimerical project. But one day in
Germany I met List, who then was all
powerful at Weimar. Finish It, he
said, and I'll play 1t here But the war
interviewed, and il wasn't until 1873 that
Samson ct Della" appeared there
with enormous success.
Berlin did not approve. but Hamburg
sang Samson nightly. 1t required ten
years for even Rouen to decide 10 at
tempt 1t, and several years later it was
decided TO produce the opera in Paris"
Saint-Saens Is now gray, but Is ener-
getically working on a new opera, the
details OF which are guarded with the
greatest secrecy. When II is completed
he will devote the remainder OF his life
to a historical review OF French music.

A WE INSPIRING WAR MEMORIAL
DESIGNED AS TEMPLE OF NATIONS

while the architects of Great Britain
and the United States who have seen
the drawings declare that the world
never has produced a single man in
whom architectural and sculptural
talents have been so extraordinarily
intermixed.
M. Sciortino this week told The
New YORK HERALD bureau that he Is
hoping to go to the United States
during his lifetime, and that he will
commence a structure TO commemorate
American participation in the war.
So stupendous is his project it would
require at least ten years to complete
and would provide work for thousands
Of sculptors, mosaic experts and
architects, besides engaging the
worlds ablest painters to provide
panels and reliefs.
Imagine building half a mile long
approached by four sweeping bridges
which lead through a majestic marble
arch to symbolic peace and victory.
The temple itself is on three levels,
surmounted by a dome greater than
that of st. Peters Cathedral, embody-
ing a harmony of architectural styles.
The crypt would contain an altar of
the nations, typifying the universally
of sacrifice, while chapels of the vari-
GUS religions could be arranged in the
wings leading from the central altar
like a huge cross.
The main floor would be devoted to
a great national museum in which
America could keep all her war rec
ords, battle photograp phs and speci-
mems of arms used-in fact, every de-
tail necessary to teach the future

Although the volume was published
i'll Paris, the Belgian police have pro-

Even the French publishers have been
drawn into the situation. This week
they We're called before a French

Comte de Jehay has denied all
completely or intimate knowledge OF

reported he was unable to obtain pass

Berlin, Aug. 8.
Berlin hopes to find a solution for
financing it's street railways by intro
ducing trackless trolley cars and by
using cars operated entirely by one man
in the suburbs. Dr. Adler, municipal
director of street railways, whom the
street car unions kept in office last spring
by threatening general strike IL he
were dismissed, announced that he would
experiment with trackless trolley cars,
which not only will obviate the expense
of 100000 marks per kiloneter for
tracks but will be even cheaper to oper-
ate than automobile buses, as the street
cars cost only three marks per kilometer
to run as against five and half marks
for buses.
DR.. Adler has succeeded in balancing
the books of the Berlin street car system
and in wiping out q deficit which ran
as high as 20,000,000 marks a month.
BY introducing psychological tests for
motormen collisions have been reduced
from so per 100000 kilometers run to
Is and the damages to cars reduced
one-third.
Fares have been increased from 10
pfennigs to / mark, with a universal
transfer for / mark and so pfennigs.
Thus the street car service has an in
come commensurate with present day
living costs, but so per cent. below the
gold mark scale. Only 50 per cent. OF
the deficit was met by increased fares,
the remainder being wiped out by saw
ings in administration costs
