Our brother musicians in Germany and Austria are starving! Not undergoing hardships or privations, but in sober, dreadful literalness, they are starving to death. More dreadful, they must stand by in a nightmare of helplessness and see their children die of hunger and cold.
Already a number of men well known in the musical world have died of starvation in the past two years. And the next four months will see a greater scarcity of food and fuel in the Central Empires than at any time since the war.
We, the musicians of America, must help and help now. We, the servants of the Beautiful and the Eternal, know that art is the centre and the heart of life and knows no geography and no nationality. Our brothers die of cold and of hunger and stretch sad, yearning arms toward us. It is not our duty to help —it is our high privilege to do so. But we must help promptly.
