Strauss for the German group. At its
conclusion the hearer was left with
the wonder why more singers don't

PASSENGERS ON LINERS
OBJECT TO TAG DAYS

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
LONDON.-Every day is tag day
on some of the transat tlantic liners,
and many travellers who make the trip
frequently are getting bit tired of
the endless collection of funds.
Fares are so high that many travel
ers feel it Is an imposition to expect
them to make contributions to the
ships orchestra and for various other
purposes.
Fascinating young women pass the
hat with such frequency on some of
the liners that it becomes a nuisa nee.
Most travellers are willing to attend
the ships concert and make d contri.
button there for the Seaman's Fund.
but they feel the steamship compa MES
ought to pay their musicians ade.
quately and save the passengers from
enthusiastic promoters who decide to
raise money for some cause or other.
Some of the transatla ntic liners.
especially the ships of the United
States Line. forbid collections except
al the concert. and attendance at that,
of course, is optional. The money rails.
ell on these ships Is divided between
