MOHAMMEDANS FLOCK ID BURIAL
 OF TALAAT PASHA
Grand Vizier, Notorious Slayer of Armenian Women and Children, Gets "CIear Title
 to Immortality"
By Associated Prnss


 Berlin, April 23-Mohammedans from every important Islamc country attended the funeral of Talaat Pasha, the former Turkish grand yizier, who was assas- sinated in Berlin by Solomon Teiiurian, young Armenian, who declares his act ayenges the death of his parents and hundreds of thousands of other Arrnen- ians who died as a result of the de- portations and massacres ordered by Talaat Pasha.
 Bitterly as most of the Christian world has reviled Talaat and his policy of ex- terminating the Armenians in Asia Minor, Islam gave him a clear title to ifn- mortality. The funeral of the Turk, who rose from the position of mail car. Tier to grand vizier, and was even a more important figure than the Sultan in Constantinople during the war, was held in his apartment in the west end of Berlin, where he had been living under an assumed name for two years, After the ceremony at the house, his mumnni- fled body was taken to cemetery where another service was held before the body was placed in vault to await final in- terment in Turkey.
 Egyptians, Turks, Kurds, Persians. Azerbaiianese, Aghans and Arabs, all wearing their native costumes and the fez wrapped in scarf indicating that they had been to Mecca, grouped about the coffin while the hodja of the Turk ish embassy sang the Mohammedan prayer cry, Allah Akbar" God Is Good'). Then the hodja read the prayer for the dead and held the strange Mo- hammedan ceremony of the death tribunal
 'Mehmed Talaat Pasha, who lies be- fore you, was man of high virtue, servant of God. Is there any one among this assembly who denies it?'' the hodja demanded
 answered, No. No. No" The hodsa then pronounced Mehmed Talaat great and pure" and delivered a-long funeral ati0u

Local Symphony Orchestra
 To Appear at the Jefferson
pr ELLA PoLIx HunnERT

The Birmingham Orchestral society, J. w Donnelly president, is going to have every reason to be proud of it's orchestra, where it makes it's first pub lie appearance next Friday night at the Jefferson theatre.
 The Music Study club, too, that splen- did pioneer in musical affairs of this city, is also going to glow with pleas urable emotions, inasmuch as thfe club conceived the idea and has fostered the movement in it's own generous way, Mrs. George Houston Davis and Mrs. E. T. Rice giving up practically all of their time and thought in helping to project this big enterprise.
 For four months, MT Ferdinand Dunkley. the capable conductor of the orchestra, has trained his men and women and, although absolute finish cannot be acquired in that time. no apologies need be made, for the pubic can definitely expect beautiful work from the augmented organization. Even a earping critic, if any there De, can have nothing but commendation for this beginning of symphonic work in Birmingham
 The musicians themselves crave an opportunity of playing the great sym phonies, which a permanent municipal orchestra would furnish. The experi- ences during the war have demon- strated the power of music in develop ing and maintaining the morale in any community, and it has been equally proven that there is as great and inslstent demand for good music as there is for the ragged" kind. Appeal to any of the music dealers after or before 3 notable concert, and they will bear out this testimony. The day is not far distant when the street gamn will be Whstling Beethoven and Mo zart, for these composers with their kind are being rendered popular by the frequency with which they are heard. Percy Grainger, who delighted a large music study club audience in this city last winter, spoke feelingly along this line, asserting that it is the oft-repeated hearing good things that makes them a part of community life.
 Birmingham does not yet possess enough players to make we'll rounded symphony orchestra possible but these players are available, and should the patronage at this first festival be sufficient to warrant it men will be attracted to the place, take up a residence In this city and become an integral part of the musical life
 The promise Of @ new, handsome auditorium is but another argument for progress in securing a permanent symphony orchestra. There is every Ieason to expect that Birmingham will eventually become the center of art as it is of industry and getting an or chestra well under way as MT. Dunk ley has already. done. is taking a leap toward this end.
 The personnel of the local orchestra includes: M
