.SANTELMANN IS
HONORED BY
SOCIETY
Marine Band Leader Gets Hon.
orary Membership in WASH
ington Salon.

Thoroughly appreciating the pow
erful influence exerted by Lieut..
William H. Santelmann. leader of
the Marine Band, in behalf of the
capitalization of good music and
Vt the promotion of a musical art
sense among the public, the Board
of Governors of the Washington
Salon and United Arts Society at
it's last meeting unanimously elected
the famous band leader an honorary
member of the society and con-
ferred upon him the distinction Of
Master Of Music.
This action on the part Of the
society Of which Rudolph de Zapp
is the president was taken by reason
Of the recent celebration of. Lieut..
Santelmann of his twenty-fifth an
niversary as leader of the" Marine
Band on which occasion he received
the congratulations of President
Harding, Mrs Harding the officers
Of the Marine Corps and many
other noted men and women and
personal friends.
To Santelmann belongs the credit
Of bringing the band of which he is
the director tets present high
standard. When first appointed it's
leader he outlined a complete reor-
ganization of the band. including
an increase in membership from
thirty to sixty and the raising Of the
salaries Of the musicians 200 per
cent. Congress approved this action
and President Mckinley affixed his
signature to the act March 3, 1899.
Realizing the necessity Of an
orchestra, Santelmann departed from
the strictly brass band idea and
organized an orchestra from among
the members of his band. After
FOUR years of preparation the or
chestra was ready for use at White
House functions. DR.. Santel-
mann is the recipient Of many
diplomas and other awards of
distinction, in recognition of his
splendid efforts in behalf of good
music s-"-

U. s. RUHR PROTESTS GROW

WASHINGTON. March THE
voice Of American business ia begin,
ming to be heard in positive terms
regarding the French occupation OF
the German Ruhr valley.
The cries OF protest, strong echoes
of which are being heard daily by
the State and Commerce Departments.
are coming from every section Of the
country.
The trend OF the protests seemed to
be that the accusation is Interfering
with American commerce. The bust
ness interests are not specifically say
ing that obstructionist policies Of the
French government are responsible
as much as that the natural cOnfu-
sion that has resulted in Europe gen
orally is because Of the occupation.
1t is learned that the State Depart
mont thus far has done nothing at
all to remedy the unpleasant situation
Of which the letters from American
business men complain.
It is believed further that any &C.
ton Secretary Hughes might take will
depend largely on the outcome OF the
investigation which the Department
Of Commerce has started. This in
qulry is endeavoring to establish the
extent to which commerce is being
