LAST OF ANDREE
 RELICS RETURNED
Frankel'S Body En Route to
 Last Resting Place

Skoavik, Norway, Sept 16 (P}- The last relics of the Andree polar balloon expedition were brought back today to the world which knew them 33 years ago with arrival of the little Swedish vessel Isbjoern from White Island, or Hvitvoen.
 The Isbjoern, which has aboard among other things the supposed re- mains of Knut Frankel, third mem- Der of the Andree expedition, put in later today toward Tromsoe, where the relics will be taken ashore and examined by experts.
 In the eight days which the Isb- joern has used to reach here from Hhitvoen the ships master, Captain Knut. Stubendorf, has had members of the expedition which went to the Andree camp site after it had been discovered by men aboard the Brav- vaag, carefully catalogue and take every means of preserving everything found remaining there.
 The maps and plans have been put between glass sheets which permits them @ be read easily. In the cen- ter of the ships hatch there stands a simple wooden box-made by the crew from the shelter over the ships motor-which is still dripping water as the ice melts from about the re- mains of Frankcl
 Discover Map
 Among the many discoveries of the Isbjoern expedition is map on which is traced in red the journey of the Andree party from day to day, forward and backward, little lines of a seismograph, with the hapless party entirely at the mercy of capri cious nature.
 Possibly the most sensational revelation in the notes on the map is the fact that the Andree party drifted around on exactly the same spot north of Foyn Island where the Mobile tragedy was enacted in 1928.
 Captain Stubendorf said he be- lieved there ought to be a great chance of finding what was left of the Mobile expedition somewhere on the west coast of Franz Josef Land, east of Spitzbergen.
 Among the letters found frozen together in Hvitvoen was a white tie, presumably carried by Andree himself to have upon his homecom- ing. There is also a notebook con- taining funny anecdotes and small book containing many phrases of good advice and other remarks.
 In the latter book there is found in Nils Strindberg's handwriting note which would make it seem he thought they at one time were pass ing over Greenland. Several private letters belonging to Strindberg also were found, still bearing their Swed- ish stamps. A photograph of his fiancee and pictures of previous bal loon trips also were discovered.
 One of the most pathetic objects

was birthday letter to Strindberg from his little brother, Tore-now with the scientific expedition at Tromsoe-which was to be opened September 4. Presumably this was done for it was found opened.
 Body Frozen
 Frahkel's body, it was stated, was found frozen firmly into the ground near massive cliff and under a projecting piece of rock. Both teeth ana nails were well preserved so possibility of death from scurvy it was believed cuold be ruled out. The upper part of the body was one lump of ice and when this was melt ed away the bones were found to be extremely fragile.
 In a box were found so dollars in American gold and silver coins. A heavy parcel wrapped in silk con- tained, the expeditions money box in which were Russian Czarist coins to total value of 100 rubles gold, sixty silver, seeming to suggest that the expedition had carefully consid- cred the possibility of alighting on Russian territory.
 There were nine small tins, eight of which had been sealed but the ninth was opened and contained some geological preparation making it evident that the expedition had been busy making scientific observa- tions and collecting specimens from both the ice and the seass
 An item of interest was a lengthy report written by Strindberg in Gabelsberger shorthand. presumably containing detailed accounts of the expeditions wanderings after July 21, 1897.

might have remained aloof from the practical,
a sort of Mozart. But instead, like Wagner,
Strauss set out to master the drama. There
is something in the stage and in the contest
with an audience which makes a dreamer
waken and which quickens his ianbic pulse.
Strauss has achieved triumphs as notable
in his conducting he has in his composing.
Before his first operas he met the public
through his appearances as director. The men
whom he directs are really mastered. Under
him the orchestra of the Vienna Opera be-
comes a perfect instrument, so clear, easy.
SO frictionless that the idea of Instruments

tan and Isolde it is difhcult to say when
one instrument takes up the strain and another
lets it down. There is the perfection of singing
when the voices hang above the singers heads
and seem not to issue from them. Such mouth

IT learned conducting" Strauss told me- 'un-

After that first plunge any feat of directing

NONE can catch nuance of fault so swiftly
as the Viennese. Those audiences who
gather at the opera house when Richard
Strauss conducts come critically.
"You are temporarily in Vienna" Strauss had
said to me. THAT is good. Vienna is the
best place to hear my music. Here it is best
presented The operas are best prepared. And
as for the gala performances direct them
myself"
And so throughout the audience on this par
ticular evening there were many who had come
armed with small reprints of the score Strauss
was to lead, and who sat throughout the entire
drama, silently turning pages and reverenty
following every measure of the beat. Such
earnest students, offering thus their highest
praise, are indeed the surest gauge and PROOF

saved over from the last time" Too cate
goric o hostess to think of letting her guests
go In to table without having it set properly
for them, she is at the same time too good
a manager to make new favors when the old
ones under her hand just tucked away"
And so Frau Strauss is the efficient
ager Of the genius, her husband. She had
made her own career before she started help
ing him make his, for she was already sue
cseeful singer in the Munich Opera when his
early work as a conductor took him to that
city and led to their meeting. She came of
good family. Her father a general and
she was stepped in military tradition. 1t is she
who has brought into Strauss dreamy life

lutism and tyranny II it is she Who dictates

Is also she who keeps him in form as If he

THERE was party one night two years ago
at the Kaiser Bar.
Come on, Maestro, you must dance with
us!" cried one of the youngest prettiest ma
irons of the party
I'D love to :. want to j. but I don't
dare!" Richard Strauss half glanced at his
trainer I'm not allowed" and the
great master his huge cheeks red with en-
barrassment, looked if about to cry.
He may rebel, but Strauss is too sane
As he grows older they may be relaxed, yet
always they are there, controlling even his
hours OF recreation. There certainly has been
more Richard Strauss written because of the
existence of Frau Strauss than ever there might
have been without her.

when the mood is backward and he wanders
abSently about the house in everybodys way,
Richard, jetzt gehst komponieren!"
And this order to compose Unconstitutional
at times it may have forced and thinned his
inspiration-has been productive beyond meas
ure.
Strauss was born in 1864. He is 66 years
old. And yet he has told me:
i still compose as I always did save
that there is a distinction to make between
the work of my early days and my work now.
Then was making a different type of music

1T Is necessary to recognize another method
in the work of composers-that TO which 1
was presently to come when turned from the
lyric to the operate. Opera cannot be written
in a squirt of temperament. After one has hit
upon ones main themes, there follows real
physical labor must work over the develop
ment Of a motif again and again, keeping no
hours, till the last line is adjusted. When
am writing opera write devotedly. That
Is the secret"
And devotion is the secret of Strauss success.
1t Is one of the many Strauss anomalies that
this who today is the spoiled hero of
metropolis should have stemmed from rural
stock in Bavaria. His mother was a brewers
daughter, while his father had left the land
and taken to horn playing in the Court Band.

many times threatened to leave Vienna
permanently for Berlin or Dresden 1t is to
bind him in his place that the government Of
Austria, following the example Of the Italians
with their poet, has given him magnificent
grounds cut out of the park of the imperial
BeIvedere Palace, laid out by Prince Eugene
Of savoy, and last occupied-up until the
tragedy of Serajevo-by Franz Ferdinand.
IN return for his rare gardens and for the
unparalleled site of his villa Just above that
on which Canaletto set up his easel two cen
turtles ago when he painted his famous oils
of the lower. inner city, Strauss has agreed
to live In Vienna some four months every
year directing some 20 operas and lending
to the city the prestige of his name. Vienna
is, indeed. exploiting a great n1ueiral talent
as d metropolitan asset.
In Germany Richard Strauss is just very
successful. highly gifted, ordinary citizen. He
does not play the part he plays in Vienna.
For in the more Oriental capital he gsts every
thing he wants He is the citys darling,
was Johann Strauss-that famous composer of
THE Blue Danube Waltz" with whom he has
neither family nor musical relations.

his lake, his trees--and his family
