The Next Great Concert.

The leading concert basso of Ameri-

spoon Possessed of a big, rich voice
and a delightful personality, he has
everywhere captured both critics and
common people by his artistic and
soulful singing. He is now on his last
concert tour of the United States,
perhaps his last appearance in his ma
tive country, for he has accepted a
permanent engagement with the famous
opera company of Dresden, Germany,
and will henceforth sing in Germany
in grand opera. Wherever he appears,
in New York or Chicago, he is greeted
with immense audiences, for his fame
as a truly great singer is widespread
and his popularity very marked. He
will appear at the KeylOr Grand on
Saturday, JAN %, as the second at
traction in the remarkable concert
course offered this year by the Whit
man Conservatory of Music.
The high level reached by Mr.. Ham

for the people to hear or read:
Some of my old friends in New

clubs, as a friend of their friends. Blu:

1T WILL PUZZLE JAPAN.

Predictions of war between the
United States and Japan have been
frequently made by students of the
political affairs OF the various nations
and some have gone so far as to de-
clare their belief that the little brown
men would have the better of the
struggle. Some few months ago the ex-
pressions of feeling against the Japs
on the Pacific coast were of such q
character as to lend color to the
statement that the time of the newt
able war would be fastened without
wise and calm consideration and action
on the part of those in charge of ma
tional affairs.
Rumors of preparations on the part
of the Japs We're continually circulated
from apparently reliable resources ard
when the announcement was made that
the great fleet of the United States
would be sent to the Pacific the ex-
preston was quite general that there
would be something doing

demonstrations of anti Oriental senti-

siderable extent by the knowledge thai
Great Britain was presented with a
similar question to solve. Although
perhaps somewhat slower in being
aroused than the people of the United
States the Canadians have apparently

England may be said to be ex-
periencing what might be called
startling awakening to the grave de-
velopments in the immigration of Ash
aticS to her white colonies and this
fact may be an important factor in
preventing any hostile demonstrations
on the part of the Japanese govern
ment With Great Britain making a
positive demand of the Japanese gov
eminent officials for restricted immi-

OF a refusal of the brown. men to deal
amicably with the United States. Great
Britain and Japan are allies, conse-
quently the difficulties between those
two countries is annoying and what
might be considered a more serious
situation is therefore presented.
In view of what is believed to be
the apparent tendency on the part of
the Japanese TO rather court trouble
with the United States il may be con-
sidered, from the standpoint of univer-
sal peace advocates, a fortunate cir
cumstance that the same questions
should be involved in the negotiations
between England and Japan as those
between the latter country and the
United States.
