SfOkOWski Gives
Inspired Program
OF "Ring" Music

Music that could be described
only as "rayishi.ig' was reveled In.
Thursday evening. in Arcadia, by a
large audience, when Leopold Sto-
kowski, and the Philadelphia or.
chestra, gave program made up
OF excerpts from Wagner's four mu-
sic dramas known as THE Ring OF
the Nibelungen."
The music, stupendous in its tonal
effects. and taxing in its demands
upon conductor and players, was
magniicently played. The audience
was held breathless and entranced.
and spurred into enthusiastic ap.
plause at the close OF each nun ber.
Mr.. Stokowski, who has never
looked more mt" since he has been
coming to Detroit, conducted with
cut score or notes OF any kind, and
obtained the finest results.
Always a temperamentai, passion.
stirred musician, Mr.. Stokowski has
the happily combined attributes OF
emotion, power, red blood, incisive-
ness, leadership and force. He
knows exactly what he Is about
when he lifts his conductors stick.
and, in everything he. does. he
proves his complete equipment for
the post of leader OF great orches-
ira. and interpreter OF the great
writer's of music.
Under his direction the PhiladeL
phia orchestra has made remarka'
BILE strides. The greatest improve
ment is noted In the last year. Mr..
Stokowski has accomplished won
dcrful things with his men, just az
he did with the Cincinnati orches-
tra. during his term as conductor
of that organization. Not even the
Boston orchestra, which by unani-
nous verdict stands supreme In the
orchestral world, could have hoped
10 do any greater things with the
Ring music than was so success
tullv achieved by Mr.. Stokowski and
the players from the Quaker city.

But the People Are Industrious
and Economical and Not So
Bad Off after All.

WASHINGTON, Aug. "a re-
view of Italy's economic condition
before the war suggests the nature
OF the problems confronting her in
the present and forms a comment
airy of interest to Americans upon
the happenings in the southwestern
war theater. In considering Italy's
pre-war condition, it must be re-
membered that Austra-Hungary, her
opponent, has been considered by
students of finances to be in a bad
way for years. The main difference
is that the dual monarchy is land
rich in natural resources, while
Italy is poor in those things that
go to make up an Industrial nation.
Austrians have invested heavily in
futures with considerable optimism,
while the Italians have faced the
problem OF hewing out a way of
progress by better organization. bet
ter technique and by territorial ex-
pansion. A brief sketch of Italian
commerce, industry and finances is
given in bulletin just issued by
the National Geographic Society.
which follows:
Italy was just getting into the
struggle of international. trade COM
petition in earnest at the outbreak
of the European war. OF course,
Italy's history of economic growth as
nation is a matter of barely fifty
years, most of which time has been
time OF slow preparation. Step by

dnstry has been built up. and its

streams of American Money.
1T has been said that the stream
OF money that has flowed from the
sons and daughters OF Italy working
in the United states has represented
the margin of comfort to the masses
OF home-staying Italians. The an
nual remittances from this country
have been well over 500, 100000 or
about equal to the yearly interest
the government has had to pay each
year upon the whole national debt.
The credit of the Italian govern
ment is good. and the burden of in

States OF. of Germany before the war.
The amount of money brought into
italy from the United States has
been equal to one-fifth of the amount
raised by the nation as revenue from
al sources, or more than one-half
o. the gross amount received by the
nation from it's total export trade.
With the exodus from America of
italian reservists. this outflow will
be greatly diminished at time of
great increased expenditure.
There has been tremendous
emigration of labor from Italy dur
ing the last years of peace. Some
seasonal workers came from Italy to
the united States and to South
American countries, and returned
with their savings. Most of the
emigration has been permanent, how
ever. 1t has all been forced by rea-
son of insufficient work at home to
keep the people above the starvation
margin. Most of the Italian adven-
turers af1eld have come to this coun-
try. Argentina being the next most
favored. In Italy the laborer works
from ten to twelve hours day for
forty cents or less. 4

Police Parade.

The bluecoats are coming! Or, in other
and more prosaic words, the fine, upstand-
ing young men of New Yorks Police
Department are to make to-day their an
nual pilgrimage through Fifth Avenue into
the good graces of their fellow citizens.
Ten thousand strong (and hearty, thank
you, and well groomed), they will bend
their gaze on the Mayor and Commits
sioner in the reviewing stand, as they
step to the measure Of their own band and
the militia bands. With the mild spring
sun smiling its blessing upon them, they
should make a brave and selfrespectful
showing.
But whatever the outward splendor Of
these guardians Of the law, the Mayor
and Commissioner Woods may well feel
content with their command. For they,
best of all New Workers., can realize that
this display Of picked and disciplined
manhood no longer hides with gay dress
a monster of inefficiency, brutality and
corruption. If the System still stalks in
the parade, it is a much chastened and
better behaved System, already aware Of
its doom. Those bad old days Of its do
minion, let US hope, have vanished into
history, helped on their way by just such
men as John Purroy Mitchell and Arthur
Woods.
Let no would-be admirer, therefore,
harbor the ancient reservation Of con-
tcupt or hatred il his heart as he watches
the Finest file by to-day. Let him show
them, rather, that he takes them at their
face value. They need his confidence in
them in their hard climb
