DESCENDANTS OF ALL NATIONS English, German, Russian and Even Colored Children Sing “Die Wacht am Rhein.” “AMERICA” ALSO ON PROGRAM A dig success was scored by the great children’s chorus of 2,000 volces at the second matinee'of the saengerfest in the Auditorium yes- terday afternoon. The great build- ing was again filled to capacity. It seemed to emphasize the neulrnmyl of America to hear these children, | descended from -all the warring na- tions, singing ‘“Die Wacht am Rhein,” “Sah ein Knab' ein Roes- Jein steh’s,” '‘Herr Heinrich sitzt am Vogelherd' and other German songs and My Old Kentucky Home,"” “Home, Sweet Home," “America’ and other American songs. They sang them with juvenile enthusi- asm and they san them with “the spirit that will help the world along.” And one ot the remarkable facts about the per- formance was that the children knew a1l the songs ‘b'y heart, and sang them one after the other with the orchestra, winder direction of Prof. Reese. The col-| ored children sang the German songs as well as the English, seeming to be more inspired by the lovely melodies of the! Fatherland than by the “Suwanes River,” supposedly a song of the old-| time darkies. It was a concert of variety. There was! orchestra music and there were solos by | the great soloists and just one song by the Nebraska saengerbund. Form Pretty Plcture. The children formed a pretty picture on the great tiers of seats rising from the stage. Members of the Nebraska saengerbund were grouped in the front center and left immediately after their part of the concert to make room for the children. Prof. Reese's appearance in the cén- Auctor's stand was greeted with great applause from the children.. And the protessor didn't merely bow as he does to audiences of applauding grown-ups. e pulled out a very large handkerchief and waved it above his head to the chil-| dren. . The opening orchestra number was the descriptive entrance of the knights from Moskowsk!'s opera, “‘Boabdil.” Then the Nebraska saengerbund ren- THE OMAHA DAILY BEE [ %F OMAHA THOMAS J.

BIG BATTLE NEAR IVANGOROT Reported Investment of Fortress i: Doubted by British Military Experts, ITALY AND TURKEY NEAR WAR LONDON, July 28.—Over the Rus- slan front from the Baltic as far as the Bug, the only district in which the Austrians and Germans are not \attempting a serious offensive, lies opposite the region of East Prussia, which {s well defended by the Ma- {surfan lakes. North and south of Kovno, German attacks are reported, but the chief fighting is In progress south of Ivangorod, Lublin and Chelm, connected by the railroad line which {s of such value to the Rus- siang, and south of Sokal on the Bug In Gallcla, iear the Russian border. The report of the investment of Ivan- #orod in yesterday's communication from the war office puszies military experts, Who declare it s impossible that the great fortress could have heen sur- rounded completely, Southwafd from Warsaw to the west of the Vistula, the Germana report a victory for the Silesian landwehr, which stormed the Russian positions and threw back thelr defenders into the fortress of Ivangorod. As the scene of the Bilesian success is fifteen miles from the fortress, it la believed here the German officlal reports must havo been translated erroneously as olalming the investment of the fortress Itself, when the outlying protecting forts were meant. From the standpoint of the allles, one of the most hopeful features of the cam- palgn is the stubborn defense of the Lublin-Chelm rallroad oy the Russians Slight Lull in North.
