SCHUMANN-HEINK
TO OPEN CONCERT
SEASON IN CITY
Prima Donna Has Four Sons
in Service; Voice Is Fresh
and Glorious
Mme. Ernestine Schumann-Heink,
the great contralto, is about to make
god a promise she made in Harri.--
burg long since, to sing hore, which
she is to do when she opens the local
music season with a concert at the
chestnut Street Auditorium on Fri
day evening, October 26. She had
promised to do this some time ago
and was to have appeared here last
spring. Then shortly before the time
for her concert she met with the un
fortunate accident which kept her
off the stage for weeks.
At that time many tickets for her
concert had already been sold. Man
ager Fred C. Hand did not know
what to do. He got in touch with
madame and obtained her promise
that she would set aside one of her
lirst available dates this year for
Harrisburg. There arc many people
who still hold tickets for that last
year's concert and they will walk
through the gates of the hall without
handing anything through the box
office yvindow this year.
This appearance on October 26 at
the Chestnut Street Auditorium of
the celebrated prima donna will be
one of her first this season. It will
mean that she will come here with
the season's early freshness upon
her glorious voice and she will lie
In that eager and vital frame of mind
in which a singer always faces her
first audiences of early fall after a
long summer of rest and seclusion.
This year Schumann-Heink will be
kliffercnt, for, in common yvith many
other American mothers, the wat has
laid a burden upon her.
Four of her sons and her son-in

TUESDAY EVENING,
law are in the service of the United
States, the country she has taught
them to love. Henry, her eldest son
in America, has enlisted in the Navy
and is stationed at San Pablo.
George Washington Schumann, born
in America, who was educated at
Culver and won a medal for horse
manship, has likewise entered Uncle
Sum's forces that light on the sea.
Ferdinand, a successful rancher, left
his ranch in the care of his young
wife and enlisted at Fort Riley, Kan
sas, and Walter, her stepson, will en
list at Paterson. Her daughter's hus
band, Hubert J. Guy, has gone into
the aviation corps.
Aids War Charity
Besides this sacrifice the singer
has given liberally of her services
during the months past in Red Cross
and other patriotic causes. Scarce
'ly any war charity has neglected to
appeal to her and she has met the
call gladly. . She has sung for the
American Red Cross in a little des
ert town in Arizona and in the great
metropolises. The French widows
and children's fund, the Belgian re
lief and the soldiers' tobacco fund
have been other relief works in
which sie has taken special inter
est. So close did she get to the
hearts of the members of the Twen
ty-first Regiment at San Diego that
they made her president of the mess.
So Mme. Schumann-Heink, who
was always distinguished for human
ity and being close to the heart of
things of ordinary life, now finds her
self closely bound up with the most
stirring events and forces of Amer
ica's present-day existence. Those
nearest and dearest to her have be
come part of the nation's destiny.
That is why she Is to-day a different
woman. To the world she tells none
of her heartaches, as a friend recent
ly remarked, but goes on singing.
None can doubt, however, that the
great art of which she has long been
acknowledged to be mistress will be
touched and ennobled by the events
through which Mme. Schumann-
Heink, woman and mother, is pass
ing.
The program which she has se
lected for her appearance In Har
risburg is the kind for which she has
become famous, with its contracts
between deep feeling and lightness of
mood, and a well-balanced sequence
between the classic lieder and mod
ern songs, sincerity and simplicity
being the keynote struck at the veiy
outset and maintained throughout.
She. will have the assistance or Ed
ward McNamara, a young baritone
of considerable accomplishment, who
will give several groups of songs.

The Diary of all-Boat Commander
(Copyright, 1817, by the New York Herald Co.—All Rights Rearned)
(Copyright Canada by New York Herald Company)
(Translated from the Original German by Irving R. Bacon)
11)11—30 September
The second time at Kiel to take
on fuel and supplies since I have
been on U-13, and still not letter
from Minna! Can it be that my
letter to her has miscarried? But,
even so, she knew that she could
communicate with mo through Kiel.
It cannot be that she has put me
out of her heart so soon. She is too
loyal, too noble hearted and mag
nanimous to allow another to take
my place in her affection merely be
cause lam out of her sight. And
yet—who knows? Oh God, how
this doubt torments me! Wounds,
physical suffering and death are not
the only agonies of war. Worse than
these, to a soul that feels is the
wrenching the heart receives
through its enforced separation from
the loved ones. It has embittered
my life and filled me with disgust
even for thee, my diary, thou fifth
in the series of little volumes since
I first began to keep record of my
doings! When has it happened be
fore that I allowed so long a. titrte to
pass without recording a single act
or thought ih thy patient, consola
tion bringing pages?
Oh, that this hellish murder busi
ness of war were ended! I still
shudder whenever I recall the frozen
horror on the faces of the poor
wretches aboard the vessels we have
sunk. My heart goes out to them,
and -every torpedo we fire seems to
carry my pwn doom along.
On August 24 we sank the Brit
ish armed boarder Duke of Albany.
Of one hundred aboard twenty-two
jvere lost. By a freakish current of
the sea, a cabin boy clinging to a
spar was swept close to us and we
took him aboard—a brave little lad
of scarcely twelve years. He told me
his father and three big brothers
had gone with the British expedi
tionary army to France. "I was the
only man left in the family," he said.
The only "man!" Poor child! I
asked him whether he was sorry to
have left his mother. He probably
had not had time before to give any
thought to the question, for now
that it was brought to his mind he
burst into tears and sobbed out his
desire to go back home. He told
me he had run away without think
ing that his mother and two sisters
would miss him much. "I wanted
to be a sailor," he said.
"If I send you home will yon
prom.ise never to do anything again
to hurt your mother's feelings?" I
asked.
"Yes, sir," he replied, "I'll prom
ise to do anything except" The
hoy hesitated. "Well, except what?"
I asked.
"Except, except—well, except that
I want to be allowed to fight those
damned Germans!"
I could not hut laugh heartily, al
thouKh to tell the truth it hurt me
to think that our good name and
fame had suffered so complete an
eclipse that even children had come
to hate and detest us. I s-uppose
howex-er, that the little fellow had
learned his lesson in hatred from
the men of the Duke of Albany.
I hailed a Norwegian freighter the
same afternoon and transferred the
youngster to her, obtaining the
promise of the captain to land liim
in England. The captain said he
would be glad to do so, as he was
bound for London. The boy said
his home was in Atterbury, near
Ranbury, the town which is famous
in "Mother Goose" rhyme. I won
der whether he would spare at l-jast
one of "the damned Germans" if
I ever fall into his hands..
• • • •
I have just received notice that I
am to have command of a larger
submarine. Things are rathsr
cramped aboard the 13. I shall have
no regrets in making the exchange.
Nor can I say that my heart will be
heavy for bidding good-by to the
crew of this boat. These fellows
seem to like their business of butch
ery too well. They got j>t it so
thoroughly "con amore" that it
sickens me *to have them call me
Herr Captain.
1911—15 October
The three days just elapsed havs
been among the most memorable in
my life. Not only is the U-34 much
larger and more comfortable than
the wretched tub I have left, but
the crew appears to be less brutal,
and above all. I have with me, next
in command my dear Fritz
Wonderful what pranks fate plays
with >is! When I left Stockholm
Frit/ had not" yet received his sum
mons to the colors. "If I receive
a summons I will ignore it," he said.
Ho donounced the war us "a re
vival of the savagery vhich is
reaching out to plunder and destroy
our toilfully built up kultur, Ihe one
flower of civilization's scarce bud
ding tree." Pacificism had no
stoncher advocate than him.
When I asked what had wrought
the change in his mind he said, \viih
characteristic naivete, "My mind i.s
not changed. I still believo the war
is all wrong. But does a swallow
make a summer? Can one m..rt
shout his convictions loudly
enough to be heard around the
Klobe? X felt that I was but oae
of many million cogs in the vafct
machinery called Fatherland. It is
a bad and worse than useless cog
.that refuses to do its 'turn' when
the rest of the machinery t* in mo
tion. So here I am."
October 13 was a busy day. 1
was charged with conveying to Eng
land a message of the. utmost im
portance. It was a cipher, but al
though I was not entrusted with its
exact meaning I know that it re
lated to the question of a contem
plated blockade of England. Accord
ing to Instructions, I delivered tha
loiter to the captain of a Swedish
steamship which, I was infor.net!.
would be ten milos off Yarmouth. JIo
no doubt had his instructions.
• • •
As the letter had to bo in th ! .:
captain's hands by eight o'clock on
the evening of October 13, and I had
but five hours to* accomplish the
task, my new boat had to slve a
good account of herself for speed
and she did.
The last five miles of the trip will
remain forever impressed upon rny
memory. A patrol boat fired
upon us, ulmihg apparently r.t thf.
conning tower but missing by a scan/
forty yards. We submerged quickly
and replied with a torpedo. It
struck home, tearing through the
side of the enemy amidshlp. The
explosion must have wrought fright
ful havoc within the boat, for she
sank within a few seconds. mly
htilf a dozen of the crew appeared
to hf.ve survived. I believe we rlrcd
the patrol boat's ammunition maga
zine, for It is inconceivable that the
charge itself could have torn apart
thi> hulk so effectually. One of tine
lifeboats had broken loose from its
davits and was riding conveniently
near the men in the water. In the
circumstances I did not deem it wise
to delay, and so left them to their
HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
fate. On our return we saw the
lifeboat making for the shoie. One
of the men was lying huddled In
the bottom of the boat. I would
gladly have stopped to alleviate his
suffering, but Fritz advijed me
against it. "There are times," he
said, "when kindness may le worse
than cruelty. You might soothe the
rain of that poor fellow, but in do
ing so you would afford the others
iii the boat a chance to see some
thing about our vessel which might
l.oget in them an idea for a means
of defeating our whole U-bo.it fleet."
At breakfast yesterday Fritz re
newed the subject of "mercy and
cruelty." He said: "You know.
Mans, I could not sleep w0.'.l at all
because the face of that j-oor dev'l
in the boat was before my t-yes all
through the night. Not that I re
proached myself for advising vol!
against helping him, for I slill be
lieve it would have been foolhardy
and perhaps even unpatriotic to
have done so. But even a s-ense o?
duty well performed cannot alto
gether stifle the more human cle
ment within one. It tvas pity for
the poor fellow that kept me awake.
"Pity is not rightly understood,
Hans. Some even among '.he best
known thinkers are misguiled
e icugh to regard it as a weakness.
In reality, it is the true mainspring
and iountainhead of every virtue.
Thlf may sound extravagant, but 1
can prove it to you."
"Perhaps to me, Fritz," T replied,
because you know how partial I am
to you. But I'm afraid a more criti
cal hearer might look upon you ai a
dreamer." $
"Well then, let us call into our
conclave Quartermaster Thiemann,
lie is a moderately well informed
man; not particularly a student.

MANY BUY TREES
FOR ARBOR DAY
Wide Response to Offer of
Park Department to Fur
nish Shade
In response to the movement start
ed by the City Park Department to
have extensive tree planting this fall,
and particularly on Arbor Day, next
Thursday, a number of residents al
ready have communicated with
Park Commissioner E. '/y Gross and
Assistant V. Grant Korrer. Some of
those making inquiries have already
purchased trees from the department
and have had them planted under
the supervision of the city.
The trees are being sold at the
Island Park nursery for twentv-llve
rents each. The department super
vises the removal of the trees which
is done by those who buy them. A
.number of shrubs which can 'l>e
planted also will be sold at a nom
inal price.
The Park Commissioners said to
day they are anxious to have as
many shade trees planted as possible
this fall. As part of the campaign
150 trees are being planted along
river front park. Many more from
live to eleven years old have been
raised at the nursery and will be
sold. It has been announced at the
school board office that there will be
no formal observance of Arbor Day
next week by planting trees, but
the teachers in many of the schools
will probably speak on the impor
tance of tree conservation.
rERMIT FOR HOUSES

modern two-story brick houses was
issued to-dtty to John S. Stark. The
residences will bo built at 2019 and

Leaves Camp Hancock
to See His Wife; They
Find Him Here in Jail
Because lie could not resist the
temptation to leave Camp Hancock to
visit his wife and grandmother, even
though refused permission by his
commanding officer, Wayne DeSilvey,
a corporal in Company I, Klghth Reg
iment, is being held by the police in

lJtSilvey resided at 314 Mucnch

ment might soon depart for France,
lie askeo permission to see his wife
and grandmother in this city. The
permission was denied, and the young
Guardsman left Camp Hancock Sat
urday afternoon. l:e arrived in this
