A MUsICAL IEAsT.

The announcement of three concerts
by the Arion Club is one that will be
read with great pleasure by all lovers of
fine choral music in Providence and by a
great many beyond It's borders.
There is no finer body of vocalists any
where than the Arion Club of Provi-
dencc. It's record is one of eleven sea-
sons of steadfast devotion to the vocal
art. Its twelfth should be the most sue
cessful Of all. And that success win be
deserved is shown by the announcement
Of the initial concert for the evening
of Dec. ?, when Verdi's Requiem will
be sung with world-famed soloists and
full orchestra. Those who prefer "Annie
Rooney" to Beethovens Ninth Sym
phony-and there are such guileless
souls-will probably not attend. The
other sort will put Dec. ? down in their
little memorandum books with the ap-
propriate mark thereafter.

THE CHILEAN TROUBLE.

The state of the Chilean affair need
not cause alarm or disquietude, for it is
hardly conceivable that Chile in her
present exhausted condition will refuse
any reasonable and Identified compost
ton of the troubles. But il war should
ensue-and it is always well to bear in
mind the worst possibility--it will be q
rather serious matter.
We have authorized and under way
big armored ships enough to blow the
Chilean navy out Of the water. but at
present the only vessel fit to cope with
III Captain Pratt or even the Almirante
Cochrane, is the new Miantonomah, itself
hardly finished. Fortunately the Pratt is
still i'm France. Other vessels of high
power are either unfinished or scattered
on widely different beats. The difficulty
of coaling vessels so far from home will
also be considerable.
But there is yet no reason to suppose
that the vessels will be needed for the
sterner work for which they were de-
signed.

If the State goes Democratic it sends a

students in the military college is, he
says, 1917, growth of 1000 upon last
years number.
A point strongly emphasized is the de-
sirability Of opening civilian employ
ments 10 honorably discharged soldiers.
The army would gain greatly in eff
cheney and popularity, says the adju-
tant general, from the recognition of
the principle that efficient service in the
army for not less than ten years shall
constitute claim upon the war depart
ment for appointment in certain subor-
dinate civil positions under its control.
The report argues in favor Of maintain
ing gymnasiums for the physical de-
velopment Of the enlisted men, and an
appropriation of 100000 annually is
asked for.
Gen. Kelton submits that the average
age of the enlisted men of the army is
too high, and that the maxmimum age
of enlistment should be reduced from 35
to 30 years, and that the total length of
service be limited to three enlistments,
or 10 years. He recommended also that
a bounty be given to men on discharge
after 10 and Is years efficient service.
This would require $780,, 900 annually for
the next five years, and seems less
necessary than the opening of civil EN-
ployment, already spoken of.
