day Of stirring activity at the navy and
war departments Anticipating decisive
action by congress. the machinery OF the
military and naval branches Of the gov

events of grave significance followed ia
quick succession.
The news that the flying squadron had

and cautionary semi-of5ic.al statement

men OF this squadron something TO do for
a few DAYS. Moreover. the brief practice

easily by dispatch boat IL II becomes
evident that they are needed for offensive

Probably the most significant action at
the navy department was the issuance Of
instructions to the naval auxiliary board

the American line, the purchase OF another
first-class auxiliary cruiser. probably the

the purchase Of the Brazilian cruiser ME-

The purchase OF the St. Paul and the ST

transaction consummated by the navy de-

excitement. These vessels cost over se..
osc.oo0 each, and are regarded as anrons
the best vessels of that class In the world
being exceeded In speed only by the ksl-

MUSIC NOTES
Miss Villa Whitney Whites Delight
full Recital Last Night

Miss Villa Whitney White gave the
audience in Music hall last night at her
initial appearance here an evening of
rare intellectual and musical enjoyment
Miss White is an artist in the highest
sense of that much abused term, and
her form of entertainment is delightful
in every way.
The subject she treated last evening
in spoken and sung words was the Ger
man Folk Song from the fifteenth CEN
tury to the present. In a short, COM
pact talk, informal and simple, Miss
White gave the definition of the folk
song as 1.-The musical manifestation of
q poem. and the growth step by step of
the song FORM
The sacred and secular folk songs, the
minnesingers and meistersingers with
their distinguishing characteristics, the
canon form and the later contrapuntal
treatment by which several of the folk
songs We're woven into one, up to the
time when Franz Schubert and con-
temporaneous masters constructed
their musical settings with a definite in
tention and desire to express thereby the
sentiment or spirit expressed in the
poetry which had by that time sprung
into being, were reviewed.
In illustration Of her theme, Miss
White sang for the first half of her
program some dainty and delicious frag-
ments from the 18th and 10Th centuries,
for which DR.. Heinrich Reimann of Ber-
lin has arranged the music in the last
few years. For the last half there were
songs by Haydn, Schubert, Mendels-
sohn, Schumann and Brahms all more or
less familiar here.
Miss Whites voice is a rich full So
prano of unusual power in the chest
tones. In quality it is warm and SYM
pathetic. Her singing shows her to be
mistress of a very superior method, and
her power for interpreting and express
ing the spirit of words and music prove
her a thorough artist. Miss Mary B.
Dillingham's accomplishments were
wholly adequate and added no little to
the evenings charm.
Tonight Miss White will treat at
length Franz Schubert and his influence
upon song form. Die Schoene Muehler-
in Cyklus" will be sung in illustration.
Tomorrow the matinee will be devoted
entirely to songs of especial interest to
children and D'Albert's HILARIOUS
Thrust Schumann's Sandman,
Berger's boy and Kite" will be in
cluded.
