quoted in dispatches from Berlin 70 a
New York newspaper as saying that
America IL barbarioally devoid Of ar

not Judge music and-that art IL an inn
possibility here on account Of political
corruption.
Her condemnation Of her native land
sounds extraordinary ON account OF the
sentiments Of pleasure she uttered when
she returned 20 this country last winter.
She was given a royal welcome In Bos-
ton. The musical critics praised her,
though not lavishiy, intimating that she
needed more study and training.
Why she should mako the outburst
quoted Of her At this time II not known,
but Il Is limited that II may have been
partislly induced by the fact that Herr
Director Heinrich Conried Of the Net
ropolitan opera company Of New York
has just informed her that he cannot
renew her contract here.
The Berlin dispatches intimate that
Miss FaTrar ia trying TO coddle the Ger
mans now by her alleged reflections on
America. The statements attributed to
Miss Farrar are as follows;
after singing In my own country,
and having the opportunity Of compar.
ing Il with Germany from an artistic
standpoint, l have decided to remain
here and never sing anywhere else. I
am an American, but truth compels me
70 admit that there Is no art In the
United States. There's only money
there. That Is why came over here.
That's what takes Americans 70 Europe.
Americans, moreover, are deficient in
artistic appreciation. American pro-
duces talent-that is apparent from the
large number of us now singing in Ber-
lin-but in our own country we all
would be impossible. Had we sung
there nobody would have known wheth-
cr we sang we'll or badly. Americans
cannot Judge music because they are
utterly lacking in understanding.
cart Is an impossibility In land of
political corruption. Where money is
50 much needed for elections there is
none left TO build opera houses. Amer
lea can only be advanced TO the position
of a land OF culture by modelling its
systems of government after that Of
Germany"

The stranger consented. Tisdale was

He was man of perhaps forty. His

this point, gave way. He was not 9
