2 THE DAILY RECORD, THURSDAY, MARCH 4, 1909. No. 933 BERLIN Mrs. William Morris Davis, the wife of the Har vard Exchange-professor, gave an exceedingly inter esting informal talk before the members of the Ladies’ Union on Tuesday afternoon on the “Summer Playgrounds at Cambridge.” Mrs. Davis gave illu minating insight into the good work done by those who are “taking hold” in this splendid erfort to provide the children of the masses in Cambridge with grounds to play during the summer months. To provide the child with legitimate fun, as well as *o wake it, through its play, to better things and subsequently, pefhaps, to reach the parents through the children, is the ideal aim of those who are organising the movement. Convincing statistics were brought forward by Mrs. Davis to prove that the children have not been slow to respond to this effort to replace the signs “keep off the grass,” “Trespassers not allowed,” etc., by something more hospitable. About twelve playgrounds have been thrown open since the movement started in 1902. Even during the first summer, when the movement was in its initial stages, nearly 1,000 children, under and over twelve, took advantage of the grounds. The result is immense gain, not only physically, but morally. The children are brought into contact with principles of fair play, cheerfulness in taking a beat ing, quiet submission to an umpire’s decision, etc., etc., which under ordinary circumstances, in their particular station of life, would probably be quite outside their experience. Mrs. Davis gave her account of the summer play ground movement in an entertaining, conversational manner, and was listened to with the greatest inter est throughout. The President of the Ladies’ Union, Dr. Luce, in referring to the philanthropic work de scribed, made use of the quotation, “Never forget to lay emphasis upon the necessity not only of making a living but of making a life.” This move ment was likely to do invaluable work in helping the poorer people of Cambridge towards this end. Professor and Mrs. William Morris Davis enter tained about thirty-five American guests on Monday at their informal reception, held in the tastefully- decorated drawing-rooms of the Pension Steinplatz. Mrs. David Jayne Hill, the wife of the American Ambassador, Colonel J. P. Wisser, the American mili tary attache and Consul-General and Mrs. Thackara were amongst the many representative Americans present. Yesterday (Wednesday) Professor and Mrs. Davis entertained for their German friends.

The criticism in The Daily Record (No. 931) of Paul Juon’s latest work, a trio the inspiration for which the Russian composer derived from the Swed ish writer Selma Lagerlof’s “Gosta Berling,” was evidently carefully read by one of our esteemed sub scribers in Berlin who sent us a cutting from the New York Sun of February 11, containing a really amusing criticism of the same trio. The heading of this effusion reads: WEIRD MUSIC BY MR. JUON. AN ALARMING TONAL DISTURBANCE IN MEN DELSSOHN HALL—MODERNISM RUNS RIOT. Before giving the text we would remind our readers that progress is not always recognised as such, especially by musical critics. Robert Schu mann, a musician of no mean order, laughed at Wagner’s music and criticised it in the famous N'/ue Zeitschrift fiir Musi': as rubbish. Richard Strauss, of “Elektra” fame, now himself subject to misconception, confessed in an interview lately that “Tristan and Isolde” had had no effect on him when he first heard, it but absolut? bewilder rent', without any understanding. So there is a possibility of the Sun’s critic revising his opinions of this Trio which has been very well received by the critics in musical Dresden. The weather cleared up last night when the Hess-Schroeder Quartet came to town and gave its second concert at Mendels sohn Hall. It was fortunate that it did so, because if there had been a gale of wind outside while the tonal earthquake was going on inside Mendelssohn’s walls would certainly have crumbled. The cause of all the trouble was Paul Juon. He is a Russian discomposer and he is tired of music. Some time ago the Adele Margulies Trio played a trio of his and sent people home sad and dejected. Last night Willy Hess and Alvin Schroeder of the quartet, with the cruel assistance of Ernest Schelling at the piano, played for the first time in this country Mr. Juon’s “Trio Caprice,” opus 39, and sent an audience away with ringing ears and shattered nerves. Mr. Juon acknowledges that the source of his inspiration was the “Gosta Berling” of Selma Lagerlof. We have never read the work, but if Mr. Juon’s tonal picture of it is a faith ful reproduction it must be a harrowing tale. The trio is a direful concatenation of sounds, few of which seem to have any kindly feeling for one another. The most soul piercing discords are the fruit of the composer’s soul. He revels in tonalities which would delight Debussy, but the Frenchman would handle them with consummate skill, whereas the Russian wrestles with them in vain. This trio incited the three musicians to deeds of violence. The two gentlemen with bows whipped their instruments as with knouts, while Mr. Schelling, rising gloriously to the oc casion, went at it with bare hands and pummelled the piano to the ropes in each of the three rounds. The instruments vainly cried for mercy. The poor audience had to sit and take it, but men stared at each other in wild surmise, like the men of Cortes on the peak in Darien. Once in a while an image or an eidolon of a theme poked its innocent face through the blood red bars of the poliphony, but Mr. Juon is an iconoclast and he can slay any theme with one stroke of a chord of the infuriated Cossack ninth. In this trio he does it every time. There were only a few themes, but they all died the death. The three musicians seemed to revel in the chaste and general slaughter. CHURCH SERVICES: BERLIN.

Sir Edward Grey, the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, in reply to a question put by Mr. Ashley, Conservative member for N. Lancashire, as to whether any steps had been taken by England, independently or in combination with the Powers, to bring about a peaceful settlement of the ques tions in dispute between Austria-Hungary, Servia, and Montenegro, said that various communications had been recently exchanged between the Powers, including Great Britain, to bring about a peaceful settlement.—To a further question by Mr. Ashley, whether Sir Edward Grey could, without unfavour ably affecting the negotiations, give the House any information as to the course which they had taken, the Secretary of State replied in a negative sense. The negotiations, he said, had necessarily been of an informatory nature, and he could not, in the present state of things, make any Statement on the subject. Answering a question in reference to a speech made by the Secretary of State for War on the 20th of February last on the subject of the Im perial army, the Prime Minister, Mr. Asquith, said: “What Mr. Haldane proposed, with respect to the defence of the country, was only to give a suitable organisation to material which had long been in existence and which was composed of Volunteer corps formed on the principles approved by Parlia ment. There was no intention to interfere with complete freedom of action in the Colonies. Mr. Haldane only proposed to put in operation that which had been discussed and approved by the Colonial Premiers at the Imperial Conference of 1907.” Sir Edward Grey, in reply to a question about Persia, said the issue of an Amnesty decree was one of the suggestions that were under considera tion, with the object of securing the pacification of Per*!*. INDISPOSITION OF THE QUEEN OF ENGLAND. Queen Alexandra was not well enough to be pre sent at the Drawing Room on Tuesday, but was better yesterday. No bulletins will be issued. THE UNION OF CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE. IMPORTANT DISCUSSION AND THE RESULT. London, March 2. At the annual meeting of the Union of Chambers of Commerce today, a discussion took place on a resolution proposed by the Belfast Chamber of Commerce, affirming that the country ought to free itself from the rigid system of Free Trade, and advocating a widening of the basis of taxation and reform of the financial system. The voting showed that 46 Chambers were in favour of the resolution and 31 against it, while 32 abstained from voting. The Chairman ruled that, as the requisite two-thirds majority had not been obtained, nothing further could be done in the matter. EUROPEANS IN ABYSSINIA. Adis Abeba, March 2. The representatives of foreign Powers have urged the Ethiopian Government to make all due provision for the safety and protection of the Embassies and Europeans in case of a change of rulers. The Ethiopian Government, through the Minister of War, Fitaurari Apte Giorgis, has given a perfectly satis factory answer; with the assurance that no disturb ances nor other complications are likely to occur in Adis Abeba in case of a change of rulers, and that at all events the Embassies and Europeans would be effectually protected. Complications might more easily arise in the provinces, but the Ethiopian Go vernment declares itself quite capable of dealing with them. THE NEAR EAST. STATE BANQUET IN BELGRADE. SPEECH BY THE KING. Belgrade, March 2. At the State banquet given yesterday by the King in honour of the new Ministry, the King announced a pardon for all political prisoners, in a speech in which he first, as a Serb and as Sovereign, wel comed the rapprochement of all the political parties in Servia of which the present Government was com posed. The conditions, said his Majesty, were un doubtedly difficult; but he and all his people looked with confidence to the future, as they saw the leaders of the people united in carrying on the business of the country. As all Serbs, at the pre sent fateful moment, committed all insults and at tacks to oblivion, so he, the King, forgave all in sults that had been offered to him and to his House. “May all disunion,” continued the King, “disappear, may our hearts no longer be filled with hatred and egoistic desires,, so that we all, as one man, sus tained by equally great love of our Fatherland, may prepare to defend its threatened future. I am con vinced that my Government, composed of recognised patriots, will be in a position and have the will to justify the hopes reposed in them.” King Peter concluded by proposing cheers for the Serbs.—M. Novakovitch returned thanks, and called for cheers for the King and the Royal family, which were enthusiastically given. A BELATED DEMENTI. Bucharest, March 2. The Agence Roumaine is officially authorised to contradict the report published in foreign journals (on Sunday last) of the mobilisation of an Army Corps on the Servian frontier. The Roumanian Go vernment had no occasion even to take such a step into consideration.
