That regardless of League of Ma

States will be involved in European
wars in the future, and that in order
to prevent any future wars there
America should do everything in her
power 10 better conditions abroad, was
the statement made by Judge Arthur

Illustrating the hate and. malice,
traditions of revenge and aspirations
for conquest that still exist in Ger

he saw in Berlin great panoramic
painting of Bismark. Kneeling before
him were two women. representing
Alsace and Lorraine. The words on
the picture were: When. oh when.

ON MUSIC'S VALUE
Charles ID. IsaacsOn Says Everybod
Can Get Something Out of IL.

You need not be a musician to up-
derstand good music, says Charles D..
Isaacson who was in San Antonio
Wednesday on tour of the United
States in behalf of good music and good
books.
Mr.. Isaacson, member of the staff
of the New York Evening Mail and
formerly with the New York Globe
and the author Of number of books.
has addressed three and a half mill
lion neople in 1900 audiences in the
last eight years on the subject.
In his addresses to schools. colleges
and civic bodies on the present tour
Mr.. Isaacson is epdeavoring to con-
vince his hearers that everyone can ap-
preciate good music and "get some
thing out of it, and that the success
or failure of great opera companies.
such as the San Carlo Company to be
here November first. is the measure
of the intellectual preparedness of the
city TO receive the good things of
music and literature.
"A newborn infant" said Mr.. Isaac
son. "can be made to alternately laugh
and cry at the will OF n musician !:
children can listen to good music and
tell the theme: few bars of music
will brighten the faces of an entire
ward in an insanse hospital. while
many times I have seen the maniacs
of a violent ward quieted when /
played four chords 4,
Every person Who attends an opera
with an open mind can take away
with him something OF beauty and sat
isfaction. Those in San Antonio who
attend the performance of Madame
Butterfly will get not alone truth
full picture of Japan. but tunes they

BREAK WATER MAIN
Carelss Driver Hits Fire Plug and
Breaks Pipe Block Away.

Careless driving on the part of an
early morning motorist who struck A
fire plug on Commerce and Casino
streets resulted in all business houses
on Commerce street from the river
to Navarro street being out of water
all Thursday morning and up to L
O'Clock in the afternoon. The jar
caused the main to break a block
away. according to ]. W. Echols OF
the San Antonio Water Supply Com
pany. The main broke in the middle
of Commerce street near the intersec-
ton of Prcsa, street, shortly after
two o'clock in the morning.
For some time water from the main
flooded that block but due to the carly
hour no one was Inconvenience by
getting wet or by being blocked from
their place of business. A crew Of
workmen were Immediately dispatchel
to the place, the water in that main
shut off and work to replace the
broken pipe begun. Because it was
directly under n street car track foam
dation the workmen were forced Ia
drill through Is inches of concrete,
which required an hour and half
time.
Officials of the Water Supply Com
pany said Thursday that it was moth
ing unusual for a water main to break,
but as this one was in the center of
the business district of the city it
created quite bit of excitement.
The accident it was said. would not
have handicapped the fire department
and in case fire had broken out on
the wateresS section of Commerce
street, as plenty of water could have
been supplied from other mains a
block away. tf
All business houses were out of
water while the main was being re-
paired. but those most incopveniencei
were the picture studios on Commerce
street. They require large amount
of water in developing work, and
Thursday morning were forced to pipe
their water by garden hoses.
