FOR NATIVE SINGERS

Patrons Of music representing
France, England, Russia, Belgium,
and the United States have formed a
committee in Paris to relieve dis
tress among opera singers. There is
something more than charity in the
movement, for it will be supported
almost entirely by American capital,
and directed chiefly by Otto H. Kahn,
Of the Metropolitan Opera House,
New York, who sees an opportunity
to serve this country's musical
talent.
The distressed masters and stars
or as many of them as may be need
cd, will be permitted to assist them
selves by teaching in an operate
academy to be created in Paris, in
which American students will be
admitted free of cost.
Auxiliary committees will be or
ganized in all parts of the United
States, and lovers Of music will be
asked to assist in the effort to pro-
vide this country with singers equal
to those Of Italy, Austria, France
and Germany. The men interested in
the academy emprise, J. p. Nor
gan, w. X. Vanderbilt, James Hazen
Hyde, and Mr.. Kahn, believe we
possess latent genius, that we have
voS1th of both sexes with tempera-
ment and voice who lack only such
environment and training as we have
not facilities and teachers to provide
here, and who are unable to pursue
their studies abroad.
Contemplation of the possible re-
suits Of such an academy opens up
. magnificent vista, not because we
would love Europe's singers less
but our very own more. May Ameri-
can enthusiasm speed the project!

racy and studied insolence of the flag.
1 don't blame any nation for trying to
avert war just as long as possible, but
when national honor and dignity is

1T is the opinion here that Germany
wants the United States to declare war
against her so that she may be able
to quit with the excuse that she can
not be expected to fight the whole
world.
