Orchestra Captures Richmond in Opening of Music Season

Lots of people learned Wednesday night that other things aine out of Cincinnati besides wet majorities and a second division ball team. They learned that the Queen City Is the home of one of the greatest orchestras in the world. Dr. Ernst Kunwald and his men conquered Richmond; they scored a triumph unusual for the first appearance of an orchestra. The audience responded with applause which approached an ovation. It was a notable opening of the People's Music season which promises to be the most brilliant In Richmond's history. "The audience was large and representative of the best in the community's culture. Indicated Growing Culture Its responsiveness to the orchestra's efforts was delightful because it came rather unexpectedly. It indicated a growing musical culture. As Lee Nusbaum said, the audience applauded out of tts respect and admiration for the orchestra not because it sought "another piece." Dr. Kunwald was delighted with the audience also. "Your people are very kind to us end we like to play for them. They understand the music," he said to Miss Laura C. Gaston and the writer after the concert. There was a musical atmosphere in the Coliseum, the bond between performers and listeners seemed to be complete. The first number, the eprightly "Merry Wives of Windsor" overture struck a responsive chord end It was applauded vociferously. Suite Is Pleasing Dr. Kunwald then launched Into the opening movement of the Tschaikowsky suite, the elegie movement. But the Interest of the audience was not abated. The auditors followed closely the varying moods of the elegie, the valse, the 6Cherzo and the variations movements and the thrilling finish of the variations was the signal for another outburst of applause. The "Star Spangled Banner," played with the orchestra standing, closed the first part of the program in a stirring manner. When Dr. Kunwald returned to the desk for the last half of the program PQNt THE WEATHER WEATHER FIRECAST For Indiana by United States Weather Bureau Fair tonight and Friday.

French Kiss American Soldiers Returning From the Trenches; Indiana Troops Among Them

(By Associated Press) WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE. Nov. 8. The first American artillery unit to establish contact, with the Germane came back to its billets today. The men were tired and muddy, but still as enthusiastic a lot of soldiers a3 ever came out of gun pits. The artillery had a longer stay at the front than the infantry and they came back, men end horses, wet to the bone, covered with mud and ready to sleep. Their "home-coming" was one that will long be remembered in this section of France. It was late in the day when long lines of marching soldiers and straining horses were seen rounding a small mountain many miles away. From the village toward which they were marching, the column could be seen winding around the mountain to the valley, up on a nearer hill and then down again. The rain was beating In their faces and a village, snuggled in a valley, came into their view as they crossed the crest of the hill. Band Greets Them. Below them stood a group in uniform. Above the group floated the American flag and a number of children were gathered about. Suddenly the band for the group of uniforms was a band started a tune that brought a smile to the face of even the most tired artilleryman in the column. It was "Campbells Are Coming," some of the artillerymen cheered and the bearers of the red battery pennants raised themselves in their saddles and waves the pennants. The entire command was immedhe was applauded generously. Several times during the evening he called the orchestra up to share the praise. The delicate phrasing of the "Mignon" overture, which opened the last half, charmed as the climax of the first half had stirred. . Heermann Ha Great Tone. Emil Heermann, the so greatly talented concert master, played his Wagner solo with exquisite tone, as he did also the long violin solo in the suite, and he responded with a pleasing encore. Dr. Kunwald says Heermann plays the solo in the suite as well or better than any other concert master, in the world. The audience, not having Dr. Kunwald's knowledge of concert master's could make no such comparison, but it appreciated Heermann's work immensely. The ballet music from "Giaconda" by Ponchielli was admired for its color, but the closing number, Victor Herbert's "Irish Rhapsody," evoked a storm of applause. It continued for several minutes and Dr. Kunwald finally yielded to the importunity of the auditors, none of whom had left their seats, and played a striking arrangement. The tribute to the orchestra's prowess was unusual from a city "on the road." And it was paid because of the sheer merit of the band. There have been several distinguished conductors in Richmond but veteran concert-goers Wednesday night said no more gifted director ever had stood at the Coliseum desk. Dr. Kunwald conducts with a precision that is nothing short of remarkable. And his men are every one artists. There wa3 some delay caused by collection of the war tax but the collection will be made easier for the Alma Gluck concert, December 12. ; " F. D. Young Dalbey is in Trenches in France, His Parents Believe Herbert Dalbey, son of Walter L. Dalbey, 129 South Twelfth street, is another Richmond soldier whose relatives believe has already seen service in the trenches in France. Dalbey, who enlisted in May, is serving In the Sixth field artillery which landed in France in August. Artillerymen have already been in active service and dispatches received here state that Indiana men are among them.

lately drawn up on a hillside and a gun, covered with camouflage paint, was drawn out in front. On the gun shield an artilleryman had written' in chalk: "The first gun for the Germans." The colonel in command spoke to one of the townspeople a moment and addressing the men, told them the people of the village wished to do honor to the gun and its crew and to the American army. The children gathered around and placed a floral wreath over the grim barrel and a bunch of wild flowers inside the empty case of the first ehot fired. v The regimental band then played the' American and French national anthems.

U-BOAT SUNK BY AMERICAN AN ATLANTIC PORT, Nov. 8. Information that an American shell fired by an American naval gunner sank a Teutonic submarine in the Mediterranean is contained in a report made to the avy department by the officers of an American freight steamship which arrived here recently, it was learned today. The vessel of about 3,000 tons gross, was returning from an Italian port in ballast after taking a cargo of war munitions from America to Italy. A report of her narrow escape from a torpedo was recently made public, but the fate of her attacker was not mentioned. The torpedo was discovered approaching from the starboard side an hour before nightfall, and the crew, expecting an explosion, hurried to the port rail, arriving in time to see the torpedo emerge from under the ship and pass harmlessly on. The naval gunners had remained at their posts. The periscope of a submarine appeared above the water, the U-boat captain apparently being unaware that the torpedo had gone under the freighter because with ho cargo she was riding high in the water. Three American shells fired from the ship's bow gun and two from her stern gun missed the submarine, but the sixth shot from the stern gun struck it at the base of the periscope, according to the officers' report. There was an explosion which shattered the submarine's shell and she sank with all on board. AMERICAN SHIP IS SENT LONDON, Nov. 8 The American steamship Rochester, was torpedoed anad sunk at dusk on November 2. Four sailors are known to have lost their lives in the sinking of the Rochester. One boat with the second mate and 13 men is missing. The captain and 22 men have been landed at Buhcran. One life boat with nine survivors reached Rossport in the county of Mayo, yesterday.

Red Cross workers arranging the Christmas kits for our soldiers in France (above) and a view of the many packages ready and waiting to be shipped and opened Christmas morning. NEW YORK, Nov. 8. Sending an American Christmas across the seas to France is the present job of the woman's bureau of the American Red Cross, now working to send off by November 14 Christmas packets for every soldier and sailor overseas. The large number of men in France as well as the 600,000 in the cantonments at hame, besides the thousands in the regular army posts and in the navy, are not to go unremembered. The woman's bureau is snouldering the responsibility for this wholesale Christmas tree, transatlantic and domestic, which is to make a war time Christmas a little less of a lonely and homesick holiday. The New York county chapter of the Red Cross har a headquarters at 360 Madison avenue, where the comfort kits are packed and prepared for transportation. No matter how well supplied individual men may be by their, friends and family there probably will be numerous soldiers and sailors who have no one to look after them. The Red Cross believes, however, that every member of the Red Cross wjll want to send some official remembrancejto the enlisted men, and, in order that contributing individuals and local chapters may send them something useful as well as attractive, the Red Cross has compiled the fol-! lowing suggestions for the use of the public: Khaki colored handkerchief, 27 inches square, for container; writing paper pad, about 7 by 10 inches; envelopes, pencil, postals, book (in paper covers), scrapbook, home-made, con taining good short 6tory, some jokes,; etc.; knife, such as boy scouts use; mirror (steel), neckties, mouth organ, Red Cross checkerboard (this is a combination set of checkerboard, checkers, chessmen and dominoes, made of heavy cardboard-specially for the Red Cross and can be purchased for five cents apiece); handkerchiefs (khaki colored), electric torch, cornPOLL BOOK "HOLDERS" TO GET THEIR PAY TUESDAY Howard Brooks, chairman of the city Republican organization Thursday, asked that all poll book "holders" for the election Tuesday meet in the headquarters of the party in the Colonial building. Most of the men have not been paid for their work, and will be paid at the meeting.

Gives Recollections of Northcliffe

$1.25 for a story I had sent to his first venture, "All Sorts' a weekly after the order of "Tit Bits." "All Sorts" gave the first glimpse of the genius we boys predicted of Northcliffe when he used to dabble in writing. How we boys laughed in our sleeves at Israel Zangwill, a slight Jewish lad. who would turn LORD NORDCLIFFE our melodrama, essays, poems, and short stories, and tell us he felt he would some day be famous.

All that I remembers in tlie first three issues for prizes in the first three issues for punning paragraphs on events of the day. I called at the office in Fleet street, an ungainly lad of fifteen, to receive the first prize, and lo and behold there was Harmsworth, a secretary of the new dally.

From a weekly, to a sporting'dally, to the editorship and management of the "Daily Mail," was proof positive to the old boys of the "Great Northern" that Alfred Harmsworth had more than made good. He was the first to j introduce American head lines and i displays in that paper, and its sue-i cess was due to the editorial page ! that for force and interest made of! hiin a second Arthur Brisbane. We read the editorial page in those days, f and the novelty of the head lines won encomiums from the stolid British public. A solid Englishman, full, of the de-! mocracy that counts, the foe of shams. the upholder of rights, the man with; the fighting pen, such was Alfred ' Harmsworth as we knew him in the! intermediate years. He held the pub-! lie by the sheer force of his consum-' mate analysis of governments. He won them, cook and duke alike, by a magnetic personality and a charm that disarmed criticism.

KAISER CALLING LAST RESERVES LONDON, Nov. 8. Germany called up her last reserves within the last J few days, according to the Central 1 News correspondent at Zurich, telegraphing under Wednesday's date. All men who previously had been rejected were ordered to present themselves for re-examinatien and within twentyfour hours all not utterly incapacitated were on their way to the training centers. - This action, . says tne correspondent, is attributed to the intention of the central powers to make a final effort on the western front before America's help becomes effective.

Hubbard, director of public safety, today ordered the police department to refuse a concert license . to Captain Fritz Kreisler, the violinist, who was advertised to appear in Carnegie Music hall tomorrow evening. The director stipulated, however, that Kreisler's manager be allowed to cancel the engagement before the order was enforced. It was also announced that another concert at which Kreisler was to appear as accomnanist on smriav had already been canceled by the local management. Director Hubbard received protPst3 from a number of patriotic organizations and from many individuals against the Kreisler concerts. Thev took the ground that since Kreisler was an officer in the Austrian army, the Austrian was the ally of America's enemy, it would be unpatriotic to permit him to appear at a public entertainment. : CRISIS STILL ACUTE LONDON, Nov.

RADICALS IN CAPITAL TAKE CONTROL OF GOVERNMENT

Soldiers and Workmen Able To Overthrow Constitutional Force Without Any Bloodshed. TO POSTPONE PEACE LONDON, Nov. 8. Premier Kerensky has been deposed. A proclamation sent out through the wireless stations of the Russian government today and picked up here state that the garrison and proletariat of Petrograd have deposed the Keren sky government. The new government will postpone immediate peace. A wireless dispatch from Petrograd says the Council of Soldiers and Workmen's Delegates has announced that the split in the council nas been healed and that a call has been sent out for a delegate from each 25,000 of the population to express the will of the Russian army. The Petrograd garrison made the coup d' etat possible without bloodshed. Attempt Was Expected. It has been Indicated for some tlm past that an attempt'was to be made by the Maximalists in Petrograd to seize control of the capital. Novembet 2 was the date originally set for an extremist demonstration waich was expected by its promotors to result in the taking Over of power by this element. A postponement to an announced date was afterward decided on. The Maximalist or Bolshiviki element, comprises the most extreme class of the Russian revolutionary socialists. It first sprang into prominence in the early days of the revolution under the leadership of Nikolai Lenine, the radical agitator, who later was put under ban of the provisional government because of his ultra-radical preachments and his suspected proGerman leanings. He is known to have been in Petrograd for some time past, however, but a government order for his arrest failed to result in his apprenshion. Meanwhile the Maximalists were under the leadership of his chielf lieutenant, Leon Protzky, whose home was in the United States when the revolution broke but who sailed for Russia shortly afterwards. Led in 1905. He was one of the leaders in the 1905 revolution. The strength of the Maximalists has lain in the support which they obtained from the military chiefs In the Petrograd garrison, among which they have been able to work with little interference from their government. They have failed, however, to Impress their policies upon Russia as a whole as has been shown by the manner in which they were outvoted in the all Russian congress and the minority they played in the organization of the preliminary parliament in which they refused to participate after they were shown to be outnumbered. Nevertheless, their influence upon Russia's policy both internal and external has been marked because of their predominance in Petrograd, the seat of government. It was this sinister Influence that in part prompted the recent proposal by the Kerensky government to remove the capital to Moscow where it was believed the government would be freer to represent adequately the will of the whole 'Russian people. Worked Through Capital. The Bolshiviki have worked chiefly through the Petrograd Council of Workmen and Soldier's delegates which was theirs absolutely. It appeared for a time after the failure of the Korniloff rebellion that Kerensky might succeed in tiding Russia over the dangerous shoals upon which she had drifted as the result of divided council and the reemingly Irrec6ncilable diverse enr- -rents. That he was becoming discouraged over the situation, however, was indicated by a recent interview with him in which, although he declared Russia was Etill emphatically in the war, he asserted she had been worn out by the struggle and felt she had a right to claim that her allies henceforth assume the heavier part of the burden. -
