AMERICAN VOICES

Every country has its exports in music; we
get pianists from Poland, composers and wind
instrument players from Germany, basses from
Russia, baritones from England tenors from
Italy, violinists from France and Hungary, and
apparently We must look to America for fu
ture supply of soprano singers with an ade
quate physique for the demands of modern
opera We get voices, it is true, from Austria
liza, but as yet Australia is too far out of the
beaten track to provide the kind of atmosphere
in which lovely voice develop alongside
OF genuine artistic perception. The old Ro
man throat seems to have become worn out
at least as regards singers Their
voices are beautiful still, but their bodies and
brains seem to have degenerated until they
have neither the intelligence nor the strength
for modern opera-they are voices and nothing
more. The Italian tenors can still just hold
their own with the help of prolonged rest cures
But from America young interrupted by
culture. unsapped by tradition, now as nation
at the awkward age and at the least beautiful
stage of youth, comes the first sign of what will
some day be developed art-namely, tuneful
voices of women, young voices, fresh, untried,
unspoiied voices.-Filson Young in London Sat

der to be ready for any emergency The Pan
ther the repair ship of the fleet is a floating
machine shop of the most complete type. With
the fleet thousands of miles from the base, the
great fighting machines have nevertheless had
every mechanical attention.
The Ajax the collier, performed remarkable
feats in the run about South America in coal
ing at sea- Amid the praise for the steady
progress of the fleet in the long runs between
ports the jackies on the Ajax should not be
forgotten. Coaling at sea is a very delicate
operation, only to be accomplished by long
experience and by expert seamen.
The Relief, the free hospital of the fleet,
should he given all praise for its work in main
tanning the health of the men at sea. One of
the most completely equipped hospitals either
on land or sea, it remains always within reach
of the squadron.
An accident to any of the men, no matter
how isolated the position of the fleet, received
efficient attention in any great city. Not
the least important object lesson the fleet gave
to the world is the wonderfully efficient,
tender, care the least of its jackies instantly
receives in case of need.
The food problem throughout this unpre-
cedented run again was something new in
val history. To supply city with population
equivalent to that of the fleet would be no
small matter. To maintain such a population
far out at sea for weeks at time without OPP
portunity of renewal, put the commissary de-
partment TO the severest possible test. And
while there have often been large fleets at sea
before and for long Intervals it is safe to as
sumo that no navy has ever been so carefully
and plentifully served as Uncle Sans sailors.
The feet was happy in the names of its aux
iliaries. The Glacier. as its name indicates, is
the refrigerator ship of the deet-a most impor-
tant factor throughout the months of tropical
voyaging. This provision of sending refrig-
orator ship around the world made 1t possible
to supply variety of foods usually unfamiliar
to the jackies on long voyages.

Six months later the great armada entered the

throughout the interminable runs this float

been coaled without interruption The general
health OF the men had remained good while the
SICK had been cared for in an deliberately ap-
pointed hospital. Throughout the trip the boats
have been kept in instant communication with
each other. Scarcely day has passed without
wireless communication with Washington.

various ports The behavior of the men has
everywhere been praised enthusiastically
With thousands of sailors ashore with their
pockets literally full of money there was not
reported any serious misdemeanor upon the
part of Uncle Sans men. After the long Jour
ney between Hawaii and New Zealand the
purser of the fleet drew in cash $780, 900 and
this was distributed among the men going
ashore No disorder of any kind resulted, and
the fleet set out with practically no deser-
tions.
