N' IXETT-FIVE PER CENT of all the girls that pass througrh our home turn out well" said Adjutant Nora Hudspith, matron of the Salvation Army Rescue Home, 392 East Fifteenth street North. "That may seem very large, but it's very nearly ac curate." There are at present eight infants and 17 girls in the home. The home was founded 19 .-years ago as a refuge for wayward or unfortunate girls and ever since has fulfilled its mission of reformation and regeneration. The girls remain in the home at least three months and learn sewing and household arts. When leaving situa tions are found for them where they may work and not be seperated from their little ones. The idea Is to protect both the children born in the home and the girls and still keep the tie of mother and child unbroken. If after a time at the home the girls become satisfactory they are termed "outside girls" and allowed to go and work and return to the home, should they lose their situations. - Most of Mother Are Voting:. "The story of how girls come to the home is simple," said Adjutant Hud spith. "The majority of the girls are about IS or 17 and often 18. Many of them are little girls who come from the country to the city for better posi tions and fall into bad company. ' Then, of course, they just slide until finally they come here. We have one little girl, a runaway of 14. She is Just a wild adventuresome little, one who would have gotten into no end of trouble had not the authorities placed her. This little maid is bright and a book worm. Ofter when the people in the home are looking high and low for her she is out in the garden under the trees buried so deeply in a book that WORCESTER'S ANNUAL MUSIC TREAT REVEALS SOME WONDERFUL ARTISTRY Dr. Mees Accorded Highest Praise for Ensemble Effect Achieved and Marcella Craft, Florence Hinkle Wither spoon and Others Win New Laurels Theo Karle, of Seattle, EsUblishetTHimself in High Rank. BY EMILIB FRANCES BAUER. NEW YORK. Oct. 14. (Special) The 59th annual festival of the Worcester Musical Association placed to the credit of the old and hon ored institutions one of the finest se ries of concerts that has been present ed under these auspices In many years. Especially favored by the weather con ditions if at the end of September, in tensely warm weather can be -regarded as enjoyable, there was not an empty chair at any of the concerts and the public rehearsals were even more crowded. To the efforts of the very clever offi cers Arthur J. Bassett, . president; J. Vernon Butler, vice-president; -Harry R. Sinclair, secretary; George R. Bliss, treasurer, and Luther M. Lovell, libra rianthe management in every partic ular went without a break or even an obstruction anywhere, whll from the musical, side Dr. M&es had wonderful co-operation In Charles I. Rice, super visor of music in the public schools, and in Gustave Strube, who conducted the symphony concerts. In addition to all that was lent to the success by these men, it is a pleasure to add that there was not one weak link in the chain of artists who were presented and there were several works given which served to make the 59th season memorable. Marcella Craft enjoyed a veritable triumph, one which will long be re membered by ail who were fortunate enough to hear her extraordinary acmevements in four tremendous works. .Perhaps the Rossini "Stabat Mater" will not come under the head of "tremendous works" so far as- the general public Is concerned, but the soprano part, with its intensely trying "Inflammatus," following her singing of the soprano solo in the new Florent Schmitt "XLVII Psalm'" was one of the greatest demonstrations of power and superbly poised art that has been noted on the concert stage within remem brance. The day following, less than 24 hoars later. Miss Craft again arose to the pinnacle of strength and vocal mas tery. She appeared on the symphony programme in a scene from Wagner's first opera. Die Feen," in which opera she had sung in Munich when It was given there in 1910 in a few gala per formances, and this was followed by the finest presentation, of the closing scene from 'Salome," which Richard , h ' - s ? ill . -'-aav . 1 1 - i ' v it ( S - : t :J- she does not hear that she Is being called. - One girl of 15 left the home, and found that her new .work was too heavy and poorly paid to provide a livelihood for herself and the child. She was induced to try an "easier way.". So she bobbed her hair and hid from the authorities. It wasn't long until she was back at- the home and now, thoroughly tried and found worthy, she is holding a good position. This isn't the only story that Miss Hudspith can tell. She is full of gentle sympathy for the girls who have made mistakes. She mothers them and cares for them until she has their complete confidence and then she helps them. "Are the girls willing to give up their children?" was asked Adjutant Hudspith. , "Hardly ever. They cling to them Strauss himself arranged for her use on concert programmes. Her singing upon this occasion waa a revelation to those who have known it the best. Her mov ing, dramatic delivery devoid of all staglness but convincing by the depth of her own feeling, bj the marvelous facial expression and by the power of her delivery and her musicianship car ried everything before her into one of the greatest ovations possible to be ac corded to an artist by an audience which filled every inch of the epace of that great auditorium. The excitement of her achievements did not subside during the entire festival season. The wisdom . of public rehearsals may un doubtedly be questioned, but so far as Miss Craft was concerned, even after the rehearsals, the public became fair ly Intoxicated with the sweep of her work, and following the "Salome" the outburst was something overwhelming, tributes coming to her from the or chestra as well as from every person in the room. The opening concert brought forward for the third time at these festivals Pierne's "The Children's Crusade," in which a chorns of children from the Worcester public schools who had been trained by Mr. Rice carried the bulk of the choral work with such precision and with such extraordinary quality of tone that the most hardened and crit ical music lover could but gasp with as tonishment. It was a Joy of the most pronounced degree to hear every meas ure, faultless in intonation, rhythm and indeed in diction.- This work under di rection of Dr. Mees brought forth Flor ence Hinkle- Witherspoon, who will withdraw from public work nntll March; Marie Sundelius, who will de vote most of her season to her ap pearances at the Metropolitan Opera House; Marion Green, who will take a sabbatical year from his labors, and Lambert Murphy, who will be the only one to remain in the concert field more actively than ever. For Miss Hinkle there was one ova tion succeeding the other, and her lovely voice was never lovelier, her fin ished style never move polished and her power never more emphatic. It was a triumphant moment and one which will make her return to the concert field the more eagerly awalrVd. The similarity in the two voices was strangely effec tive. Madame Sundelius has a voice colored a little differently rather than c 1 ! Jill: i I A w i -1 ' , "A Xy 11 v As. '&Ary 5Es Sr si J&'i? &ScS closely and many of the girls who have left the home are married and their children have been adopted by the hus band. Only occasionally do they marry the men who are responsible for their downfall." said the matron. According - to Adjutant Hudspith, most of the girls are young who come to the home and almost 'all of them are motherless. Some have never known a mother. There are several school girls in the home and a number of girls about 13 and 14. Saturday, October 21, will be Rose day, when many prominent matrons and girls will join in a tag day for the benefit of the rescue home. They hope to be able to raise enough to build a new and more modern house where the girls will be able to have a more cozy home. Present Boose Inadequate. The old house in which they are now living is well kept, but is full of wind ing stairs. Practically all the -rooms are small. Both the age of the frame building and its antiquated arrange ment make it inconvenient for the mod ern heating system, so that it is only at a considerable expense that it is warmed in Winter. They hope some time soon to be able to build a more practical and larger building. During the year 25 babies have been born at the home and many more girls have passed through the home. Ad jutant Hudspith has been matron of the home for three years, and a trained nurse takes care of the babies and in valids. The nurse and Adjutant Hudspith say the noise from the cars which passl nxrecuy in itodi ecnoes inrougn iut! house and makes the location quite too noisy for an old frame building, in which patients and babies are kept. a little less, and her delivery, too, was that of a. finished singer whose silvery tones are even less significant than the charm of her general musicianship and skill. Lambert Murphy had a solo in the opening of the second part that brought back memories of his beautl ful solo as heard at the opening of Tristan und Isolde" at the Metropoli tan, and as he threaded his way through the work his splendid equip ment as oratorio interpreter seemed more compelling than ever. Rarely beautiful is his voice: indeed, it is one of the most beautiful of the tenor voices now before the public, and he is growing In authority and artistic re finement. Marion Green, too, made a line impression by the very great res onance of beauty of his tonal Quality. which is one of the finest that has been heard on the concert stage. Mr. Green had none too grateful a part in that there was not much time allotted to the baritone role, but that he left the ar dent desire to be heard again will be proved to him when he returns to ac tive work, whether this will be in op era, oratorio or concert. Four young women from the festival chorus, Minnie L. Sample, Mabel B. MacGowan, Iusinn Barakian and Lotta M. Smith, were heard in the music of "Four Women." They delivered their measures with credit, and the soprano voice boww especially Deautirul. The chorus, orchestra and Walter W. Farmer at the organ responded superb ly to the. demands of Or. Mees. who brought lovely effects from his singers. - Percy Grainger played for the first time at the Worcester festival concerts Thursday afternoon as soloist in the first symphony concert under Gustav Strube. but the superb Australian pianist came as no stranger to that audience where all seemed to know him and to wish eagerly for his sue cess. He was received with great ap plause, and when he finished his ever beautiful performance of the Grieg con certo, the audience, orchestra and con duct or indeed belonged to him. There is a peculiar fascination about this pianist, one which would perhaps be difficult to reduce to words. Wonder fully picturesque with a "chevelure.' which Paderewski's never equaled tnere is not a trace of anything effem inate, while he is' poetic to the last degree. Percy Grainger is not only delightful to hear but he is beautiful to look upon and in this he Is unique because one is impressed with his strength and not with weakness of any sort. So there was much in his playing that touched the soul by its delicacy, its poesy, its sheer beauty of texture, its compelling tenderness and its unusual sentiment, by the side of which was a vigorous force both physi cal and mental. Grieg was shown in the massive, rugged moments as in the most ephemeral ones and there is little doubt that such playing makes -j for a more general appreciation or nlnnn nlnvlne. bringing to It as he noes originality, charm and a virility which brings it up to the last needs of the present modern characteristics in everything. His second appearance on ine pro gramme brought forward the pianist composer, since the group was devoted to his own folk-song arrangements, in which he has won an entirely individ ual place in the' world of music. The numbers were "One More Day. My John." "Colonial Song" (not an ar rangement, but his individual tribute to Australia), the Grainger arrange ment ' of Stanford's "Leprechaun a Dance" and another Irish reel, btan-ford-Grainger," which he played for the iirst time and which he supplemented with his well-known "Hhepnera s Aiay Hey." Mr. Strube deserves many words of praise for the excellent accompaniment he supplied, not only to Mr. Grainger. but throughout the programmes ana he gave with skilled hand the overture "Sakuntala, ' by uoiamain, two nun garian dances by, Brahms and Richard Strauss' symphonic poem "Don Quix ote," which with the renowned Boston symphony men he succeeded in giving a vivid reading and one which was the more creditable because the number of men for which the score calls were not available. The work as a worn af fected the writer' exactly as it did when first it was presented In this countrv--aa a piece of musical im pertinence. In which the supreme beauty to which it arises but serves to ac centuate the pitiable use which Strauss made of his powers to imitate sneep. squawks and other effects, which should have no place in the mind of a great creative musician, a genius In deed, but one who has not felt the divinity of such a gift. Thursday evening of last week was perhaps the crux of the choral offer ings and Mr. Mees placed side by side that which may well be regarded as the last word in choral writing and the favorite of 25 years ago. Rossini's "Stabat Mater." The first, Florent Schmitt's "Psalm XLVII" is written for soprano polo, orchestra, organ and chorus and the Rossini cantata brought forward in addition to Miss Craft, who sang the solo In the Schmltt work as well as the soprano part of the Ros sini, Henrlette" Wakefield. Theo Karle and Wilfred Glenn, contralto, tenor and bass. The "Psalm" Is a most remarkable piece of writing in which the composer gave cruel and. Inhuman things to do both to the soloist and to the chorus. Dr. Mees has always enjoyed the ad miration of those who know his great powers as conductor, but what he must have given in the way of erudition, patience and skill to the preparation of this intensely difficult work won for him renewed respect from all hear ers who understood what his share of the work represented. The rhythms are intensely complicated and the to nalities not less so. for which reason the mastery of the work In all of its effects, dynamic and otherwise, repre sented a triumph of the greatest sort for the conductor and no end of credit must go to the singers for what they accomplished. Miss Craft in the solo obligato also showed herself a supreme musician and she gave a strong dramatic reading to a part which would otherwise have been swept aside by the ocean of sound. which descended upon it. The writing for a soprano voice is not indicative that the composer knew or cared for what are the limitations of a soprano, because he massed chorus and orches tra against the soprano on a low B flat, which simply wipes it off the musical map. But Miss Craft has a ringing, clear soprano and she swept her hearers with the Intensity of her interpretation. Following such a solo she again created a furore by her con tribution to the "Stabat Mater, In which the delicacies of the Italian score were contrasted with the su preme outbreak in the "Inflammatus," in which delight on the part of the public was mixed with astonishment that such endurance made it possible to give so much tonal beauty and free dom. Henrietta Wakefield supple mented with great beauty the "Quis es Homo" and the voices of soprano and contralto blended exceedingly well. Miss Wakefield was also hugely impressive and successful in her solo "Fac ut Portem." With this work the first tones were heard of the young tenor Theo Karle, who was discovered in Seattle. Wash!, by Edmund J. Myer, who has been and still is his teacher. Mr. Karle has one of the most beauti ful voices of the present day and granted all the growth that will nat urally come to one who will easily be come a reigning favorite, he will be one of the greatest tenors of this country. Already now. In what may be called extreme youth, both in years and in experience, he made an electrifying effect and well-earned the tremendous applause which was lavished upon him, Wilfred Glenn, also a Western "find," proved the possessor of a. heavy bass Voice of most excellent quality and showed experience In oratorio singing. His "Pro Peceatls" and the solo with chorus were unusually well sung. The second symphony programme will not be forgotten by anyone who heard the wonderful Strauss music or who witnessed the triumph of Marcella Craft, the interpreter of the role of "Salome." Mr. Strube accomplished marvels with his orchestra, and he. too, arranged 8 stirring contrast when he elected to open with the "Erolca' symphony of Beethoven, which had an unusually fine reading. This was fol lowed by the scene and aria "Weh Mir," fron Wagner's first opera. "Die r een. ' in ' wnicn jvliss urart delivered herself with the utmost charm and brilliancy. In itself it was great sing ing, but when she reached the climax of the programme, and. indeed, of the entire musical offerings of the season, the closing scene from "Salome," she thrilled her audience to such a point that It was several moments before the silence was broken by the overwhelm ing applause. There' is not one theatri cal moment in "her approach or in her delivery, but there is a deep dramatic fervor, both in appearance and in her singing, which is so moving and so impressive that one forgets that she is almost motionless and that .all the effects are secured through her in tensity, her inner mood and her pow ers of making others feel. Vocally, it was a wonderful showing of purity and beauty of voice and - diction, of the finest art which a singer on any oper atic stage has to give, and in this spirit it reached an audience which was thrilled, held spellbound and al most weakened by its own intensity of interest. There has been no greater triumph enjoyed by any operatic star than that which fell to Miss Craft's lot. and thereafter there was but one idea expressed: "What a privilege It wonld be to hear her do the entire role," which, indeed, found the echo what a privilege it bad been for those who made her famous in -Munich to have, been able to hear her not only in this, but in many roles at 'the opera. This, however, must be re served for America's future enjoyment. Mr. Strube gave a remarkable per formance, one indeed Which placed him among the very few great con ductors available today.

The rescue trip was the fourth that Lieutenant Shackleton has made. After failure of his expedition to reach the South Pole, ha and 27 of bla crew reached Elephant Island on April 15. They had left their ship Endurance. crushed and sunk In the Ice floes; since the previous October 27th had been fighting thel way to land in small boats. Shackleton's party was on tho verge of collapse, so he left 22 men in com mand of Frank Wild, and with five volnteers set out on April 24 across the 750 miles of sea and ice to South Georgia to get a relief ship. They reached Stremness whaling station and from there started an unsuccessful at tempt to rescue the men. He made an other try to save the men with the steamer Instituteposca which left Montevideo. -Uruguay, and stopped at Port Stanley for the explorer. The boat could not make the passage through the impenetrable ice. On July 13 Shackleton started his third attempt from Puntas Arenas on the schooner Emma. The town is the most southerly in the world, being lo cated on the Strait of Magellan. This try. too. was a failure. The Yolcho. a Chilean Government boat, had been used to tow the Emma as far as possible, was offered to Shackleton by Chile for the fourth and successful attempt. Charles P. Steinmets. the famous German economist, is predicting the decline of monarchlsm In Germany and the rise of Socialism. Mr. Steinmets was forced to leave- Germany when a boy because of government persecution of Socialist editors, of which he waa one at the time. His interest in poll tics and economics did not wane, how ever, for he showed much activity, re sulting In his election as president of the City "Council of Schenectady, where he is employed as the engineering ex pert of the General Electric Company. Steinmetz sees how the English block ade has forced the government to take distribution out of the hands of selfish private Interests and distribute itself the necessities of life. In exchange for aid in the war the Social Democratic Party is demanding and receiving the socialization of successive phases- of Industry.

It is his plan to conduct a self supporting clearing-house operated in co-operation with owners of manufac turing plants that employ thousands of persona Incidentally many of the men who recently applied for work have been placed in some of the larg est concerns in the country. . Dudding. who was found guilty of the murder of his uncle, served four years in jail on a manslaughter charge. He pleaded guilty but asserted the crime was committed in self-defense. After his release Dudding obtained many positions, but. due to his record, could not hold them. It was this dis couraging course of events that prompted him to open the school.
