War Office Must Decide

Washington, Feb. 24.-The secretary
of war has confronting him a difficult
problem requiring a decision whether or
not the United States is in a state of
war. In time of peace. but not in time of
war, any United States soldier nay pur-
chase his discharge from the army Upon
certain prescribed conditions. More
than two score applications Of this kind
are now before the department. If it
is held this is a time of peace that
decision might carry with it the reduce
ton of the pay of all the soldiers now in
the Philippines, by one-half. a contin-
gency lat n n be contemplated with
out apprehension. There are equally
dangerous complications lurking in the
other proposition, namely that the
try is in a state of war. Wal Depart
ment officials regret that a decision
should be required at this time.

whereas, The price of printing paper
used by newspapers in the United States
has been arbitrarily increased in price

Whereas, 1t is the common belief that
this increase is due to the workings Of a

1.-The attention Of congress is directed

sufficient funds to carry on opera on as
satisfactory a basis as can, be lone by
private enterprise. In other countries
the stage is successfully controlled by
the government because the value of art
to the people is held to be so great that
a generous sum is allowed for the pro-
motion of music and the drama.
Until u people generally place the
same high estimate Upon art and come
to believe that 1t is a necessary element
in national education. and culture all
plans for providing the best music for
the many, instead of the few, must wait.
Whatever method will result in better
music for the people, and larger facilities
for its enjoyment, is the method we
should adopt. I do not think opera con-
trOlled by the government would be q
success in America. If opera were SUBJ

would make better progress than under
a government that is not yet prepared
to consider music worthy Of q place in
national affairs.
Subsidized under some form of private
enterprise. by popular approval. national
schools and Conservatives Of music
would probably be started. and greatly
aid the growth OF music. When there is
sufficient demand for national opera and
| Conservatives they will undoubtedly
come.
At present good music can. approxi-
mately. only be enjoyed by the leisure
classes. who can pay for it.: but by this
means its influence will gradually reach
the popular taste. until there will be q
universal demand for permanent insti-
buttons OF music.

. GREAT COLLEGE OF MUSIC
(By Walter Damrosch.)

The day is not far off. I'M my opinion,
when America will have a subsidized
operate, and, perhaps, theatrical stage;
but not a stage subsidized by the gov
nment. The popular voice in time will
demand a regularly organized national
opera, but it will be subsidized by private
enterprise or popular subscription, and
will not be under government control.
America, I believe, has never subsi-
died any of her arts. 1t has always
been a business or commercial nation.
Now. however, the influence of the arts
is being felt. Gradually the continental
belief that art is a necessity and not
merely a luxury is creeping into the pop
ular mind
l am afraid, however, that this idea 10
not yet so universal that the govern
ment would feel justified in apportioning

Claimed That Veterans Are Not
Given Preference in Political Posi-
tiOns-Aid Always Given by Presi-
dent Mckinley.
Chicago Aug. 29.-This was. for the G.
A. r. as an organization, strictly day of
business. From morning until night the
convention labored at its work listening
to numerous reports from officers and
committees, while the vast ma jority of the
old soldiers went to the parks and took
boat rides.
The opening session of the convention
was entirely of a social character, con-
sisting of addresses of welcome and re-
sponses, and was open to the public. The
afternoon was Of an executive character
In the afternoon the first thing taken up
was the report of the Pension Committee.
This would contain, it was generally
thought, some warm statements, but there
were none. There was not in the report
a specific declaration or recommenda ton
upon the subject.
The committee, at the outset, went at
length into the history of the work done
by G. A. r. COMMITTEES in obtaining from
the last Congress increases in certain
classes of pensions. 1t then discussed the
differences of opinion existing between
the pension office and those members of
the G. A. r. who hold the opinion that
old soldiers have not received sufficient
consiG er- tiou. The report argued at length
against the statements that have been
made by the pension office in reply to
the original criticisms made by members
of the Grand Army, but offered no sug-
gestions as to direct line of policy to
be pursued. 1t will come up tomorrow.
The Committee on Legfsla tion for vet
Grams In public service made a long re-
port declaring that veterans were not
given a preference in the public service,
and that political pull counted for more
than honorable military service. Com
plants especially were made of petty
Bosses" who ignored veterans. 1t con-
tanned this paragraph;
During the year the chairman or your
committee has had many times occasion
to go TO our comrade, William Mckinley,
President of the United States, in the in
terest of other comrades who needed help
or protection, and never in vain.'
The committee which had taken the an
uual message of commandments
Shaw under consideration reported APP
prevail of all his suggestions, with the eX-
ception of that relating TO the change OF
the date of Memorial Day from May 30 TO
the last Sunday in May. on this the
committee reports adversely, and their re-
port was adopted by the convention.
1t is expected now that the work OF the
encampment will be over by tomorrow
noon. unless there should be a protracted
debate over the report of the Pension
Committee, and this is not considered
probable No opposition has developed to
Judge Bassieur of st. Louis for comman-
der-in- chief.
Denver and Salt Lake are candidates
for the next encampmeht.
