Nine. Fremstad's Farewell.

II is not often that the local, and let us hope
Temporary passing of q singer brings forth
demonstration as sincere and spontaneous as
that accorded to Nine Olive Fremstad at the Met
ropotan Opera House on Thursday night Nine
Fremstad is not TO return to the Metropolitan next
wear The stage she has so illuminated with her
oueenly Isolde her sublime Briinnhde, her poet
ically enigmatic Kundry, will seem cold indeed
without her when these characters again es-
saved Perhaps Mr.. GattiCasazza will be able to
find worthy successor though at present this
looks exceedingly doubtful, but whether he does or
not the singer who sang her last Elsa on Thursday
night will to many local patrons Of opera form one
Of a triumvirate of which the other two are Llli
Lehman and Milka Ternina.
Olive Fremstad already sits in the hall Of fame
Of Wagnerian herOneS. To the younger generation
:, @ was the very embodiment of the great master IS
imagination. Poetic fire, beauty plastic grace, SUI
preme skill in song were hers if her voice was
not one OF the great organs of all time. Like all
great artists she was never satisfied with her own
enactments. and from the night she first stepped
upon the Metropolitan stage there continual
advancement in her art. Above all, she was abso-
lutely sincere No higher or truer artistic epitaph
could she have than her own words of farewell the
first she ever uttered in public: Dear friends l
have always tried to give you of my best-my very
host

Our South American Friend.

The intrustinS of our foreign affairs in Mexico 10
the keeping of Brazil is wholly admirable step. II
not only answers the Mexican charge that no South
American nation maintains friendly feelings toWaru
this country 1t will also as real advance
toward that close and cordial utilization which must
soon embrace all the great nations of the Americas
Various obstacles have stood in the way OF such
condition One Of the chief of them Is the ignorance
on the part Of many Americans Of the really great
and stable nations such the United States OF
Brazil below the line. In consequence there mas
resulted patrOnizng ignorance utterly unsuted 70
the facts and irritating in the extreme 10 our South
American neighbors The present episode should nave
an Illuminating effect upon these minds and should
be the forerunner of a steadily increasing intimacy
that must presently rpen into concert of action IN
behalf of the great American policies summed up IN
the Monroe Doctrine.

The volunteer army bill passed by congress yes

time Of emergency Imperative just now because
Of the Mexican situation It Is nevertheless 'he cur
mination Of efforts for many years 10 oD'ain
statute under which previous troublous experiences
in recruiting the volunteer force could be avoided
The bill meets those difficulties. 1t does away
with the short term enlistment-volunteers VIII
serve for three years the enlistment period OF the
recrlars Also it will do away with the uouoieS
and trials attendant on the appointment or Officers
for volunteer troops by state governors, Tor no"
such officers will he appointed by the PRESIDENT
Also brjcades and divisions may be organized with
ont regard TO state lines, thus facilitating the trans
formation of the "vounteers" into regulars.
Whatever advantage there is in having neishDors
in an organization will be retained through the pro
vision for acceptance of militia unit, II three
fourths of It's strength volunteer in advance or other
volunteers. The bill is expected to make posslole
the organization Of a volunteer army without the
navment of bountes or drafting, and by ITS long
term service provision to bring about reduction
in the number Of men who serve, and consequently
a smaller pension list.

many years. and IL need not interfere

The Cost OF Animal Diseases.

The Department Of Agriculture estimates that
disease and exposure caused loss in meat animals
in this country amounting TO $lJ0UO0OO last year.
or this only S2S,OO0o00 was attributed to exposure
The loss IN meat would have furnished more than
years supply to the entire population Of the New
England states.
Such loss Is another Of the many reasons for the
high cost Of IiyiDg-a reason which no elimination
Of mlddcmeD by improved market systems or re-
ducton Of transportation rates can affect In the
