GATTI.CASAZZA TO STAY
WITH METROPOLITAN
Toscanlni Not Expected to Re-
turn for the Coming Season.

Giulio Gatti- CasazZa will, in spite Of
all reports 10 the contrary, remain as
the general manager Of the Metropoli-
tan Opera Company. Arturo Toscanini,
however, will probably not return this
season. and Tullio Serafn will be en-
gagged in his place az the chief Italian
conductor of the company.
Mr. Gatti is now in Milan arranging
with the Italian government 20 release
the company's Italian choristers from
military duty, so that they may appear
during the coming season in New York.
1t was learned yesterday that these eff
forts are likely to succeed. owing to
Mr. Gatti's influence with his govern
ment and Italy's desire 20 have its art
worthily represented in America.
II has been suggested that the fact
Of Mr. Gatti being an Italian might pre-
vent tho presentation of German opera
at the Metropolitan, but such an
eventuality is now declared to be out
Of the question. Mr.. Gatti is a firm
friend of the Wagnerian music drama
and has often expressed himself as be-
lieving that art should know no ma
tional boundaries. While some of the
Metropolitan's German artists have
caused much talk by their outspoken
criticism, not only Of the Allies, but Of
America as well, Mr.. Gatti has con-
tinually refrained from expressing any
political views.
II is, however. probable he will OBJ
ject to these artists continuing their
discussion of the war in any public
manner Recently Nine. ODER and Mr..
Braun, of the Metropolitan company,
signed a letter which was printed in
the German newspapers declaring that
Miss Geraldine Farrar was pro-Ger-
man. Miss Farrar herself later con-
frmed this. Acts like these Mr.. GATH
may object to simply because they tend
70 disrupt the morale of his organiZa-
ton, but it is altogether improbable
that he will in any way allow national
feeling to control the company's ar
tistic destinies.
Mr.. Toscanini will probably not re-
turn because of his intense interest in
his country's struggle with Austria
and Turkey. His patriotic concerts
have proved an enormous success. and
all Italy is demanding that its greatest
conductor remain with it in the SUI
preme crisis of its national existence.
Contrary TO all reports, Mr.. Toscanini
and Mr.. Gatti-Casazza are now on the
best of terms, and it is solely because
of his patriotism that the great con-
/ ductor has deci led to forego his visit
| to America.

OFFICER OF MARINES
TO TEACH MIDDIES
Major Russell First of Corps AS
signed TO Annapolis.
[By Telegraph 10 The Tribunal

Annapolis, Sept. 17.-Major John II.
Russell, OF the marine corps, has been
assigned to duty at the Naval Academy
as an instructor. This is the first time
that duty Of this character has been
assigned TO an officer OF the marine
corps, and many rumors followed the
news of the assignment.
According to one report. Major Rus
sell will head a detachment Of marines
who will patrol Bancroft Hall to pre-
vent hazing, as the practice does not
appear 70 have been stopped by the
regular disciplinary force.
Another report. probably nearer the
truth. is that Major Russell will be one
OF the drill officers Of the regiment OF
marines. Il is understood that some
graduates of the Academy are to be as
signed each year TO the marine corps,
and that the department considers 1t
proper for a marine officer TO take part
In the training of men for that service.

One Of the maids was sweeping IN
the hall as Dan went toward the win
dow, about to wash it.
Il wonder whether ] locked those
windows?" muttered Jennings, paus-
ing in the hallway. Il guess I'd bet
ter make sure"
He had taken only step toward
the library again when Dan watchfully
caught sight of him. 1t would never
do to have Jennings shopping around
there now. Quick action was neces-
sary. Dan knocked over costly
Sevres vase.
'There-clumsy-see what you've
done!" berated jennings, starting to
pick up the pieces.
Dan had acted his part well and
promptly. In the library Clutching
Hand was busily engaged at that mo-
ment beside the secret panel search
ing for the spring that released it.
He ran his finger along the woodwork,
pausing here and there without sue
ceeding.
"Confound it," he muttered, search
ing feverishly.
Kennedy, having made the arrange
ments with the telephone company by
which he had a clear wire from the
Dodge house to his laboratory. had re-
joined me there and was putting on
the finishing touches on his installa-
ton of the vocaphone.
Every now and then he would
switch 1t on, and we would listen in
it as he demonstrated the wonderful
little instrument to me. We had
