A Musical Treat.

Through the efforts Of Mrs.
George Mitchell and Miss Lolie
Moore, two unique concerts were
given at the opera house Tues
day under the auspices of the
Young Ladies Guild Of the Pres
byterian church for the purpose
Of raising funds to pay for d
very fine pipe organ lately in
stalled.
Angelo Cortese. the celebrated
and popular solo harpist Of the
Memphis Symphony Orchestra,
was brought to Tupelo for this
occasion, and rendered two pro-
grammes which delighted the
enthusiastic audiences with his
art and skill on this most beau
tiful instrument, the harp.
The following numbers were
given in the afternoon: Pas
toral," by Bellota; La Source"
by Hasselmans, and "Prierne.'
by Hasselmans. Mr.. Cortese re-
sponded with several encores to
the spontaneous outbursts Of ap-
probation, which proves that
,.Tupelo has discriminating musi-
cal taste.
On the program were also sew
eral of the most talented must
clans of Tupelo. Mrs. Burchard
Weaver gave a reading, and was
obliged to respond with an en-
core. Miss Kincannon delighted
all with her singing of my Ro-
sary," Mr.. Cortese playing her
accompaniment on the harp. Miss
Ballard and Miss Evans, young
pianists of promise, played in a
manner to show that Tupelo has
reason to be proud of her talent
ed daughters. DR.. l.. R. Simp-
SON. of Macon, sang Anchored"
accompanied by his charming
wife,. Little Miss Katherine
Finley sang THE Butterfly"
with true sweetness and musical
expression.
The evening programme was
even more enthusiastically re-
ceived by an audience of the
leading citizens. Angelo Cortese
opened the concert with La
DANA des Zylphes, ''by Godfroid,
which was a revelation of the
poetry and music in the harp as
portrayed by this young artist.
Thereafter the appearance of
Mr.. Cortese was the signal for a
burst of applause. Miss Hood,
accompanied by the harp, sang
two attractive numbers. Miss
Ballard and Miss Raymond again
demonstrated their talent on the
piano. DR.. Simpson sang Thy
Sentinel Am l." with harp &C.
compartment by Angelo, and
also a charming encore, As
thur" Mr.. Wallace and Miss
Kincannon followed with de-
lightful songs. The Tupelo
Quartette was a most agreeable
number. The concert came to a
close with La Gitana." but the
audience refused to leave until
Mr.. Cortese had played several
encores.
.TupelO is to be congratulated
|upo1 having secured the cooper
alton of the Memphis Symphony
Orchest'a Association and looks
forward to many musical treats
and advantages supplied through
this organization. M IS Augusta
the manager, was the
guest of Mrs Geo. Mitchell, and
came to our town to make known
the educational advantages this
Association places at the disposal
of the South. A free bureau of

class music and teachers, and

might prove as invaluable in the mountains OF
Mexico as they have under somewhat similar
conditions In the Philippines.
Similarly the conditions existing at the scene
of the present campaign are such as to empna-
size the fact that there is yet very important
sphere for the cavalry in the army
It as though the crisis In this unexpected quar-
ter were providential answer to the argu-
ments Of those persons in and out of official
life who have been urging in recent years
that the foot-soldier should be practically the
whole thing In our military complement. 1t
must be apparent to everybody who Is even
casually conversant with geographical condi-
lions that If Uncle Sam Is to keep peace From
the Canal to Canada" he will Rave need Of
considerable cavalry force and force pro-
vided with the best possible class of molnts
There are mountainous localities in the region
to the south of us where only cavalry could
operate successfully. Neither automobiles nor
yet aeropanes would serve as substitute
And incidentally it may be noted that conditions
on the Mexican border have afforded an OPP
portunity much earlier than was anticipated to
test the practical military value of the airship
The servicability of the sky craft for scouting
operations ought to be pretty we'll attested ere
the troops return to their home stations
No better theater of war, real or mimic, than
the southwest could be chosen for demon
strating the progress made during the past few
years, both in the methods and equipment of
the u S. Signal corps. The general public,
with its craving for the spectacular, has heard
most regarding the Introduction of the aero
plane as a utensil of warfare but as matter
of fact the Signal Corps has recently intro
duced innovations far more important from
military standpoint than the aerial scouts, and
these communicative utilities and novelties for
day and night signaling would obviously prove
especially valuable in rough country where
there are few existing telephone or telegraph
wires and where the erection of such lines
would be difficult and expensive. The Signal
Corps is fully abreast of the times (and of the
military establishment of any other nation) in
it's experiments with wireless telegraphy and
wireless telephony and it has developed some
very ingenious expedients for the use of rap
idly moving forces in the teld,-as for instance
the auto-telegraph car or telephone and tele-
graph station on wheels and the apparatus
which enables mounted trooper to lay or reel
in a telephone wire automatically while his
horse is at full gallop, the rider meanwhile con-
tinuing telephone conversation over this elastic
wire.
1t is expected that when the joint operations
of the army and navy in the south have passed
into history the record of operations will af
ford argument one way or another as to what
shall be done with the U. S. Marine Corps
Our readers will recall that this force the sol
diers Of the navy" has been for some time past

NOT ANNOYED, OF COURSE
Capt. Butt Was Merely Giving to His
Friend Few Philosophical
Reflections.


Capt. Archibald W. Butt, the presi-
dents military aide, was called out of
bed at nine o'clock one morning to
answer telephone call.
Archie" said his friend on the
other end of the wire, Il called you
up to tell you that shall not be able
to keep the appointment l made with
you for eleven o'clock today"
'T'm sorry" said Butt, his tone a
trifle chilly.
Yes; it's too bad" agreed the
other.
There ensued an ominous pause.
"You know" remarked Butt senten-
tiously, "telephoning seems to be a
habit, bad habit, in Washington.
People are beginning to issue their
invitations by telephone. They phone
on the slightest provocation. They
don't seem to know when not to tele-
phone. They even get you out of bed
to talk to you on the telephone"

you're bawling me out" said the

"Oh, mol" contradicted Butt in a
louder tone. "My remarks are merely

tors, but in even greater degree is it evidence
of the value of that comparatively new insti
tuition, the U. s. Army War College. The news
paper-reading public has been told repeatedly
these past few years that it is the special prov
ince of the officers detailed to duty in the great
red brick building, overlooking the Potomac
in Washington, to have on hand and to keep
constantly up to date detailed plans of cam
paign for use in the event of war with any
other nation However the present instance
affords the country at large its first real ex-
application of the practical value of the In
formation that Is kept under such close guard
in the plan vault and the map rooms Of the
War College.
1t was shown by the rapidity with which
ders were formulated and issued for this sud
den movement of the largest body Of troops
that has been handled at any one time since
the Spanish war that the War College has de-
pendable information as to just what can be
expected of the railroads In an emergency.
This showed, too, the wisdom Of Uncle Sans
policy of keeping his war plans up to the min
ute by revising them every time there is a
change of railroad schedules for, in this in
stance, most of the troops travelled by regular
trains instead of by special trains and the lat
ter would presumably be resorted to only In
the case of extreme emergency

which contemplates reliance upon the tele-
graph system of the country in the movement
of troops. The use of the network of wires
covering the continent in the event of war,
has been the subject of study on the part of
the military experts that has gone hand in
hand with the investigation as to how the rail-
road arrangements could be made to promote
the mobility of the military force This work

one is already apparent. 1t emphasizes that
the field artillery yet has very important
place in our military paraphernalia. There has
been a disposition on the part OF some people,
of late years, to regard any considerable
amount of field artillery as not the most useful
