<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Verschoben.</strong><br /><br /><strong>Sängerfest des Nordöstlichen Sängerbunds Durch Urabstimmung.</strong></p>
<p>Philadelphia, Pa., 5. Oktober. Das fünfundzwanzigste National-Sängerfest des Nordöstlichen Sängerbundes von Amerika, welches im nächsten Jahre in Baltimore, Md., stattfinden sollte, ist auf Grund einer Urabstimmung der Bundes-Vereine und ihrer Sänger verschoben worden. In der Bundes-Delegaten-Sitzung, die gelegentlich des in Brooklyn abgehaltenen 24. National-Sängerfestes stattfand, war Baltimore als nächste Feststadt gewählt worden.</p>
<p>Die dortige Sänger-Vereinigung wandte sich jedoch nach Ausbruch des Krieges zwischen den Vereinigten Staaten und Deutschland an das Bundes-Direktorium und ersuchte um Verschiebung des Festes, da es ihr unmöglich wäre, eine der Waffenhallen für die Sängerfest-Konzerte zu erhalten, und da die in Baltimore herrschende Stimmung ein Abhalten des Festes nicht ratsam erscheinen ließe.</p>
<p>Das Bundes-Direktorium ordnete darauf gemäß den Satzungen eine Urabstimmung an. Es wurde den 159 Bundes-Vereinen eine Frist von vier Wochen zur Entscheidung der Frage gewährt, ob das National-Sängerfest verschoben werden sollte oder nicht. Die Antworten mit dem Resultat der Abstimmung waren bis zum 29. September einzusenden, und zwar an den korrespondierenden Sekretär des Bundes, Herrn F. W. Haußmann in Philadelphia. Es liefen bis zu genanntem Datum von 124 Vereinen Abstimmungsresultate ein. Sie lassen ersehen, daß im ganzen 3896 Sänger für Verschiebung des Festes waren und 144 dagegen.</p>
Die Festsetzung eines neuen Datums für das fünfundzwanzigste Sängerfest hängt natürlich von der Beendigung des Weltkriegs und dem Friedensschlusse ab. Sekretär Haußmann, der heute das Resultat der Urabstimmung bekannt gegeben hat, legt den Bundes-Vereinen und deren Sängern dringend ans Herz, die alte deutsche Sängertreue zu wahren, fest zum Bunde zu halten, sich während der Kriegszeit das deutsche Lied zu pflegen und den deutschen Männergesang hochzuhalten, damit, wenn wieder Friede ins Land gezogen ist, die großen National-Sängerfeste des Nordöstlichen Sängerbundes von Amerika im alten Glanze von neuem erstehen.<br /><br />[transcribed by Pearl Vick]

Description
An account of the resource
<p><strong>POSTPONED <br />The Choral Festival of the Northeastern Sängerbund <br />by a Vote of Members </strong></p>
<p>Philadelphia, PA. 5 October. The 25th National Choral Festival of the Northeastern <em>Sängerbund</em> (Singers' Federation) of America, which was planned for next year in Baltimore, MD, has been postponed based on a ballot vote by members. Baltimore had been chosen as the next festival location in a session of the organization's federal delegates, which took place on the occasion of the 24th National Choral Festival in Brooklyn.</p>
<p>Following the outbreak of war between the United States and Germany, however, the Baltimore Singers' Union approached the national directorship of the Singers' Federation and requested a postponement of the festival, since it was now impossible for them to reserve one of the local armory halls for Choral Festival concerts, and because prevalent sentiments in Baltimore made holding the festival seem inadvisable.</p>
<p>The federal directorship, in accordance with the organization's bylaws, ordered a ballot vote among members. The 159 choral societies that make up the Northeastern Singers' Federation were then given a four-week deadline to decide whether the National Choral Festival should be postponed or not. The responses along with the final outcome of the vote were to be sent by September 29th to the corresponding secretary of the Federation, Mr. F. W. Haussmann in Philadelphia. By that date, 124 member societies had sent in their results. All told, 3896 singers voted in favor of and 144 against postponing the festival.</p>
<p>Determining a new date for the 25th Choral Festival naturally depends on ending the World War and on subsequent peace accords. Secretary Haussmann, who announced the result of the ballot vote today, vigorously encouraged all choral member societies and their singers to preserve the traditional <em>Treue</em> (faithfulness) of German choir members, to remain loyal to the <em>Sängerbund</em>, to maintain the German song repertoire during a time of war, and to hold high the banner of the German men's choir tradition, so that, when peace has returned, the great National Choral Festivals of the Northeastern <em>Sängerbund</em> of America may arise again in their former splendor.</p>
