Is making in this country for relief
of prisoners, was announced today.
The Serbian minister has deposited
5500,000 to the credit of the Red Cross

AMSTERDAM. Oct. 14. The Mans
bode says that it learns that all Dutch
shipplDg to England has been stopped
on account of the pending differences
between Great Britain and Holland.
Great Britain on October 11 stopped
All commercial cable communications
with Holland until such time as the
Netherlands government placed abso
lute restriction on the transit of, sand,
gravel and scrap metal from Germany
to Belgium by way of Holland.
The British government contended
that his concrete raw material was be
ing used by tho Germans In great
quantities in the construction of dug
outs to the detriment of the British
soldiers.
The Netherlands government replied
by saying that it would satisfy the Brit
Ish desire to stop the transit of sand
and gravel to Belgium only when the
British government showed, notwith
standing the declaration of the Ger
man authorities and the Investigations
of Dutch officers, that the materials
were being used for war purposes.

Homer Ms With
Rendition of "Star
Spangled Banner"
When Marshal Joffre was visiting
America, he heard "The Star Span
gled Banner" time and time again, but
it is reasonably certain that nowhere
did he hear It sung moro beautifully
than when sung by Louise Homer at
the brilliant gathering in tho Met
ropolitan opera house in New York,
and also at the unveiling of the Fafay
ette memorial in Brooklyn. They were
superb renditions of our national an
them that thrilled the assembled audi
ences renditions that every American
would be glad to hear, and through the
Victor It is possible for every one to
do so. Mrap. Homer has made a
record of "Tho Star Spangled Banner,"
and it has Just been Issued with tho
new list of Victor records for Octo
ber. American born and trained,
Louise Homer is especially suited to
sing our favorite national air, and her

splendid contralto voice rlngB out full
and strong and stirs our patriotism
anew.
Frances Alda sings -vrith a depth of
sincerity an extremely beautiful ver
sion of an old negro spiritual, "Deop
River," which strongly brings out the
Inherent religious fervor of the negro
race. The Traviata air, "They Home
In Fair Provence," is a true Verdi
melody, simple and flowing, and It is
sung by Giuseppe De Luca with fault
less technique and complete under
standing of its emotional values. Those
who ask that a love song shall bo
bright and cheerful as well as sincere,
will be delighted with "That's Why
My Heart 1b Calling You," sung by
Emillo de Gorgorza. This favorite
baritone gives It just the right Inter
pretation, and his easy, natural meth
od of Blnging is particularly well
adapted to a song of this kind.
The Victor Concert orchestra is very
much in evidence this month, contrib
uting eight splendid selections. "Whis-!
poring Flowers" is a charming waltz '
number with doliphtful chime effects,
and "Tho Dying Poet" Is an Interest
ing orchestral version of this famous
piano piece. The "Reconciliation
Polka," by Drigo, and a "Spanish
Dance in G Minor," of Moszkowski's,
arc also splendidly played. Tho other
selections a're two numbers from
Luigini's well-known Ballet Egyptian,
and the Finale, in two parts, of
Beethoven's "Fifth Symphony," which j
is popular with people in all the
various stages of musical development.
A New "Last Roso of Summer."
It was inevitable that Amclita Galll
Curci should make a record of "The
Last Rose of Summer," for sho has
the gracious personality, and warmth j
of human sympathy, and tho glorious (
voice to bring Moore's beautiful song
to its fullness of expression. This new
Victor record is among the October'
offerings, and in Galli-Curci's diction
there is just the little tang of her na-(
tlve Italian which adds so much to the:
grace and charm of her speech.
The Paderewski record of Chopin's
"Etude in G-Flat Minor" is another in-'
stance of the improved method of '
recording piano music recently
evolved by the Victor. The number is
familiarly and aptly known as the j
"Butterfly," and the record reveals the
great Paderewski in his most poetic 1
mood. In "Little Firefly," Charles
Wakefield Cadman has given us an-
other of those delightful little sketches'
based on Indian themes, and Maud
