"HAS AMERICA NO TIME
FOR MUSIC?"
@ IRECTOR BODANZKY OF
70 the Metropolitan Opera

Lb the Metropolitan Opera
in The Craftsman, asks
and very sensibly answers the
question, Has America no time
for music? by which he means
primarily grand opera.
"You cannot have conScrip-
ton for the opera" says he.
Fancy dragging people in
early and locking them in for
their pleasure" They must be
encouraged to love it, and act
ing upon this conclusion he is
engaged in cutting the longer
German operas. In Tristan,
GOtterdammerung and Rosen-
kavalier he believes that an
hours time can be saved and
with advantage" Wherefore
it is no sacrilege in the layman
to applaud.
Originally the German op-
eraS were composed for peo-
pie who had time to give whole
days to their enjoyment, a fact
of which composers took ad-
vantage. That hours may be
taken out of the works imper.
ceptbly, as Bodanzky propos-
es to do, proves that those
hours, or passages, should
never have been in. I'm
doubtedly composers have
themselves partly to thank for
the want of appreciation of
some of the so-called classic
works. The greatest works
have universal appeal and mu-
sic might we'll borrow some of
the majestic simplicity and di-
rectness which mark the mas
terpieces of the other fine arts.
1t is no reflection on the world
when a composer, painter,
sculptor or writer cannot COM
pei it with his work. The mas
terpiece in any art must be ad-
dressed broadly to humanity;
it must compel and hold the
simple taste as we'll as the
cultivated"
Il feel that in America the
opera must be somewhat ad-
iusted to the lives of the peO-
pie, of all the people, not only
the aristocracy, but the work
ing people, who seem to be
very sincere music lovers
here" sensibly declares Mr..
Bodanzky, and he bespeaks a
greater future for opera in our
country. The truth is that up
on the future of opera here is
likely to depend its future
everywhere. America is liter
ally the chief supporter of the
worlds arts today, and has
been for decades. The super.
cilious foreign artist sneers al
American taste, but the sneel
lis an affectation. He generally
looks this way for his ultimate
appreciation and consequent
reward. This is largely true Of
modern composers and grea
artists in the world of music
| This is a busy America, but /
somewhat manages to flint

Let me sail away on cloud some

And perhaps by chance fairies

Or hear the song. as she sits the day

Of an ogre captured maid.
Oh twill be Sc fine to sit and dine
In the palace Of the Tar.
Or walk with fear through a forest

To the bode of a witch afar.
But mother fair will not be there,
And when my prayers are said,
Her good nights kiss I'll surely miss
When safe in my far away bed.

To RECOGNIZE
VILLA, REPORT
United States Wishes Some
one With Whom It Can
Deal Directly.

Washington Is preparing to recognize
Gen. Villa as head of the de factO gov
eminent of northern Mexico, according
to well founded reports reaching here.
The reports have been current for some
time among Villistas and usually well
informed parties here who have extern
sive interests in northern Mexico, have
received and generally credit the re-
port.
According to those who profess to
believe that such a course will be taken
by Washington, the recognition will be
in no way formal but will be accorded
so that Washington will be able TO deal
and make direct representations with
some recognized head. 1t is pointed
out that Villa has been in complete con-
troll of the north for more than a year
and that the state department has been
greatly hampered in dealing with af-
fairs in the north through its lack of
ability to negotiate with any recognized
head. The recognition would, in eff
feet, be a tacit agreement between the
state department and Villa, to carry on
diplomatic relations, according to the
report, and would not amount to for
nal recognition of Villa as the head
of the government in Mexico.
Federal officials here stated that they
had not been advised regarding the re-
port.

but was not seriously injured
With Ford, who was employed on
the Hay ranch, Hay left El Paso about
Z 30 for his ranch near La Tuna in the
upper valley. There was only one
headlight on the car, which was an
old model and it is believed that Hay,
i'm making the turn to cross the bridge,
did not have a clear view Of the road
way, with the result that he missed
the bridge.
When Ford was taken from beneath
the car he was dead. His skull was
fractured and his chest badly crushed.
Coroner J. J. Murphy was notified and
went to the scene OF the accident
bringing the body Of Ford to the city.
Hay accompanied Zhe coroner back to
the city and then proceeded to his
farm.

age and had been reared In Dunno,
Texas, where his father, J. ]. Ford,
makes his headquarters at sos North
Ochoa street, but is now in Chihuahua,

at the G. o. S. ranch in New Mexico.

several months ago to devote his time
to his New Mexico farm.
