NOTED ARTISTS HELD BY ENEMY EARLY IN WAR Sympathy in America Wasted on Fritz Kreisler.and Karl Muck. (From the New York Tribune) Too much sympathy has been wasted on Fritz Krelsler, the Austrian violinist, because ho feels that the United States has treated him badly since the war began, in the opinion of Charles J. Rosebault of the Vigilantes. "Press agents, friends and admirers, said Mr. Rosebault, "have united to make him appear a martyr to art and American chauvinism.' He then went on to say that if Krelsler has been persecuted in the United States, Germany has dealt out far more bitter punishments upon musicians of enemy nations caught inside her borders when war began. Yet. Mr. Rosebault continued, persons have pointed the finger of scorn at Americans who objected to the ap: pearance of an enemy alien in the limelight, no matter how great an artist he might be. He says: "Perhaps these are justified. Possibly art should be judged solely as an Impersonal thing of beauty and the artist held superior to decisions affecting the common folk. When all the world agrees on this America will surely not be found to lag behind. But what is the record of Mr. Kreisler'8 own country, and what is the record of Germany In respect to art and artists? Germans Intern Artists "There Is In this country today a very wonderful Russian violinist by the name of Helfetz. This artist, who has been acclaimed by all critics and music lovers, was playing in Berliu when the war broke out He was highly regarded by the music lovers there. Did the Prussians uphold the exemption of the artist? Mr. Heifetz spent two years two long, valuable years In an internment camp. "Joseph Joachim was almost a musical god in Germank. When he died his place at the head of the Hochschule was given to Henri Martaeu, a Frenchman. This placing of a foreigner upon Joachim's musical throne created a furor. But Marteau caught the kaiser's good will. Moreover, he had been a pupil and the ablest of Joachim. So the storm of Prussian chauvinism broke against him In vain. But what happened When the war came? Marteau lost his place and was interned as an enemy. "Gabrllowltch, the great pianist, was a resident of Munich and strongly pro-German in his sympathies. So was his wife, daughter of our Mark Twain. He was arrested and obtained his release only with great difficulty. "Adolph Brodsky, the distinguished Russian violinist, who had been a fa-

SNOOZE TIME IN DUGOUTS

Yankee Fighters in Dugout Like Shelter "Over There." Vigilance would immediately replace the sleepiness in this photo if a 6ignal of the "enemy's" activity came to the American soldiers dozing in their dugout. In the shelters "over there" scenes like this are common when the fighters have an hour or so of relief from the lines. '

Woman Dies f rom Headache Tablets

HARTFORD CITY. Ind.. Dec. 19. Mrs. Martha M. Cook. 65 years old, Is dead after an illness of" less than week, due to taking an overdose of headache tablets. Feeling severe pain about a week ago, Mrs. Cook obtained some anti-pain tablets. " She took them regularly for a time, and then while crazed with pain took a handful. She Immediately became worse and died She is the third member of the family to die this year. Her husband died in August and a daughter died last February. , '

vorite of the .music lovers of Vienna, was there on a holiday visit when the was came. He was placed in an internment camp in Hungary. "He was past 60, and spent tha greater part of his life in Vienna and was known to be attached to the people; moreover, the Viennese were proud to acclaim him as a product of their schools. "And it remained for certain musicians resident in this country (a lot of the pro-German musicians refused to sign the petition) to obtain Doctor Brodsky's release. At that time Austria was desirous of continuing friendly relations with Americans. Pose As Martyrs. "In the light of these various instances, America's narrowness of spirit Is not so clear. Nor is this all that is to be said. Some of these distinguished musical artists who are posing as martyrs are not altogether what they seem. Protest as much as they wish, it is difficult to accpt tbir assrtions of detachment from the German cause. They have been too outspoken heretofore. "There has been a great to-do about the opposition to Karl Muck, the very able conductor of the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Here again American chauvinsm was held up to scorn. But reverse the . case. Imagine an American conductor at Berlin or Vienna! Where would he be now? We must allow Mr. Muck credit for having made no secret of the fact that

he still holds a place under the Prussian government and is looking forward to a Prussian pension for his old age. "Of late, many of our visiting musicians have been more than zealous in performing 'The Star Spangled Banner. Even pianists have pounded out the national anthem. But this has not succeeded in breaking down all the opposition. Some suspicious Americans talk of camouflage. And they add that they see no reason why American dollars should go into enemy pockets when American musicians like Albert Spaulding, Roderick White and many others are sacrificing their careers and risking their lives for America.

THOUGHTS TO THINK ABOUT He who seeks his own comfort becomes mo6t uncomfortable and unhappy; he has stolen for himself what he should have sent to another. Thought is a blooming field of pleasures and not of pains, if you think about the blessings and not the adverse things. -
