MAIN ST si The Live Wires \; Your Service === Fi m 53 Russians Love Music Theatres and Concerts Thronged by the Proetariats London. April 2">. (Correspondence of The Associated Press.)?One of the most interesting phases of life in Rus sia since the revolution has been the passion for music displayed by the masses of the people. Albert Coates. an Englishman who ha.s just return ed from Petrograd where for years ho was one of the principal con ductors of ih* Imperial Opera, says the Russian proletariat throngs theatres and concerts. Tbc educated music-loving people of former days has almost entirely disappeared. Mr. Coates says. The one that has taken its place is a new public consisting of work people, peasants, soldiers and sailors. i thoroughly realized during the revolution." he went on. '"the force of the proverb. "Music hath charms to soothe the savage " breast." for whatever the people do in the politi cal and social sphere?and their re cord is pretty bad?at concerts and at the opera they sit as reverently as though they were in church, and-lis ten with the rapt expression of child- ! ren to whom fairyland is suddenly re- j vealed. j "ii has often happened that after a :oncert some simple peasant has ris en and formally thanked me and the orchestra for the pleasure we had given them. Often, after a symphony a group of work people have crowd- j ed round me and asked to have ex- '? plained things in the music they had ! not understood. They showed a! marked preference for modern and j complicated music, infinitely prefer-! ring it to the older and 'simple forms j of Russian music. Their special j favorite, strange as it may seem, is I Scriabin. and after a performance of this composer's "Poeme d'Extase' that! 1 was conducting at the Maryinsky | iheatre. the public, which consisted i almost entirely of the 'people,' shout-j ed themselves" hoarse with enthusi- J ?sm. .1 had never dreamt they would { understand it. "After the performance 1 was con-| ^ta'ntly receiving requests?work people used to stop me in the streets j ?to get up another concert and con- ! cfuct the ?poem d'Extase." -- i i Propaganda in Germany j E?ort Being Made to Stir Up j Anti-American Feeling -,- i Coblenz.

Some of their writ-j tags sot forth what purports to b? i their own opinions of the conduct ofj the Americans or the feelings of theI Germans in tha occupied territory, j The writings of one German in a j Leipsic newspaper have afforded amusement to the American intelli gence officers though h^ wrote with j the evident Intention to put Americans! in a bad light before the German civilians. ?'On account of th?- sundry annoy ing acts of the authorities.*' h^ writes. . ?:h<^ population is not at a'1 satisfied! \> itp the American occupation and is! ?oud in its abuse of these molesta-j lions, though, to be sure, this is all kepi within closed wails.

State chairman of the cam paign for Jewish relief, which raised over $100.000 in South Carolina in three days, gave 0ut the following statement: "When the campaign for the Jew ish relief fund was undertaken there were some misgivings as to the will ingness of South Carolina to contrib ute over $100,000 for the relief of j sufferers in distant Poland, Galicia | and other countries. The fact that I. i ?s State chairman, have been able to I make the first payment on account of j the subscriptions in the aggregate ofj 1 0 ~>.000. more than the total amount | allotted to the State, is the very high-1 est testimonial to the charity and gen crosity of the good People of this State. To my mind the most gratify-1 ing feature of the whol*3 campaign I '^as bom the utter willingness and j hearty response of our Christian j friends in South Carolina and the striking evidence that when real char- j j'.y is involved there is no denomina- I tional division. "The cn.mpaign has also shown that wherever people were properly ap proached that +hey contributed will ingly and ?ent: ously. and the only { counties where the quotas were not. raised were those in which the. cam ; aign workers were not. fully organ ::>?<] ;<nd the people not civen the op portunity of comrtouting. ' In addition to the SI05.000 that i tave already sent to headquarters in . *ew York for the purchase of grain 'or the suffering people in Poland-and Galicia. additional amounts have been subscribed and pledged and. of course. hi:-- money will be paid in due time. >.nd ' cannot foo strongly urge the im >ort ;nce of the prompt payment of Lhese pledges because of the absolute ecessity of the funds for the nur-j ?base of additional grain and food tuffs for the starving people of these iistant countries. Every dollar that is paid will be used to the best advan ! age."
