AMERICA IS BECOMING
NATION OF MUSICIANS
Victor Herbert, Noted Compo.
ser, Says Opera Is Fast
Gaining Ground.

London Special: That America Ia
rapidly becoming one of the greatest
music loving nations in the world is the
opinion og Victor Herbert. who is now
In London. expressed in an interview
with the New York Americans CORES
pendent to day. He said:
7 consider it quite within the range
OF probabilities that the next quarter
OF a century will see every important
american town with an opera COM
pany Of its own. Everything seems to
point that way.
The progress the American people
nave made in a musical way during tho
last 20 years is an unheard of achieve
ment.
It can remember when the Boston
symphony and Theodore Thomas or
chestras were the only musical aggre-
cations worthy of the name existing in
our country.
To-day there are any number of ex-
ceLIent orchestras, all we'll ~patroniZed.
Grand opera IS too comparatively new
q thing n yet the country already is
SO thoroughly irnbued with the love of
musical drama that it would refuse to
get along without it any longer.
It IL my opinion that one Of the
greatest things that ever happened to
US IN The musical line Is the introduc-
tlon OF grand opera IN English. About
the material success of this innovation
there is no longer the slightest doubt
The public wants its operas In Eng
Gsh.
The success of the WI operas which
I nave written IN our native tongue,
and the Century Opera company, which
produces everything in English. bears
adequate witness to the truth of that
statement.
Singing Of opera in foreign tongues
was the greatest hindrance to the de-
velopment of a national type Of song
drama, but now, with the advent OF our
mother tongue on the operatic stage, I
believe we shall see a rapid nationalist
ton of opera, so that. very soon. side
by side with Italian, French and Ger
man will stand a glorious American
operate type.

MR.. NUDGE. TINKER.
BY Jane Osborn.

Copyright. 1918. by the Mcclure News
paper Syndicate.)
Mr.. Nudge sat working over his draw
ing board with his coat collar turned up
and his feet tapping the floor In an effort
to keep warm. A lusty wind blew outside
and drove stray flakes of snow through
the crevices of Mr.. Mudge's one window.
For the fifth time that morning he went
over to his radiator and, kneeling down,
felt each Individual pipe in search of the
welcome glow of heat that should have
been there and for the fifth time he felt
only the cold metal.
Then he made a surprising discovery.
He had My half q radiator, the other
half was In the next studio, and the par
tition thatsmade two small rooms out of
what was originally one had divided the
radiator In two. Unfortunately for Mr..
Nudge, he did not possess the end that
turned on. He crouched down and looked
through the space where the partition
did nos ut close to the pipes and saw a
rev glimpses of ferns, rugs and hangings
that convinced him that the next room
was teilanted.
Mr.. Nudge didn't stop to smooth down
MS straw-colored hair, and he didn't
stop to adjust his bow tie, which had re-
versed sts normal attitude in his interview
with the radiator. He didn't stopsto put
on MS cuffs nor to take. off ibis working

pipe out OF his mouth. A rather indiffer-

a School for Diplomats.

From the New York Evening Post.
The recent statement by David Jayne
Hill that diplomacy has a technique not
only as important as that of the law, but
one more complicated and more difficult
tc acquire" is In line with the proposals
made by another ex-ambassador. Curtis
Guilds plan for a diplomatic training
school,, similar in administration TO West
Point and Annapolis, may be impracti-
cable: but 1t rests on a conception of
anxious to have it put on that plane than
those who have themselves served In high
positions abroad. Originated, as Mr.. Guild
says, in conference with President Lowell
OF Harvard. his plan implies that not only
ability Is wanted. but peculiar training,
with q basis OF foreign languages and
technical knowledge. The fact that the
regular promotion OF consuls serves much
the same end. may be an argument
against q special government school: 1t is
anything but an argument against tho
view that u men hould be encour-
aged to 1T themselves to enter the for
eign service. confident OF continuance and
promotion by merit.

Because Brand Whitlock, mayor Of To-

confirm him as ambassador to Great
Britain.
Whether Whitiock.s stories Will
strengthen or remove opposition to him
will depend OF curse upon the tempera-
ment of the senatorial reader. He is 4
democrat of the old school with a young
head On his shoulders. He holds to the old
faith. but looks forward, not backward.
His works are fiction in form and title.
they deal witt the realities of Amert-
can politics and society. They are the
product OF a rugged mind tina has learned
from the school Of Experience more hi

conductor where they " ere going. He
informed them that the car was on the
way to the Market street subway. Some
one Informed him that It would be diff

by the route the car was taking. Then
the conductor stopped the car and held
a conference with the motorman. He
was also somewhat puzzled
Meanwhile there was deluge of sue-
gestons and opinions. 1t was finally
decided to run the car back to Thirty
seventh street In order not to meet other
cars from the opposite direction
After reaching there the car finally
