GRAND OPERA STARS TO
APPEAR IN CAPITAL CITY
Brilliant Musical Season Planned
for 1916.1o17 Under Manage
ment Of Mrs. Gushing.

From Mrs. W. F. Cushing comes the
interesting announcement that Bis
marck, Mandan and sister cities are
to be given the opportunity Of bril-
liant musical season. She will bring
to the city four of the finest attrac-
lions possible to obtain. They will in
clude the San Carlo Grand Opera COM
pany, Mme Johanna Gadski, John Nc
Cormack and the New York Symphony
orchestra with Walter Damrosch as
conductor, making the season of 1916
1917 a noteworthy one.
Devotees of music-drama will feel a
keen interest in this announcement.
The San Carlo Opera company was
made famous few years back by
such artists as Mordica, Nielsen, Con-
stantino, Campanari and others. This
organization Is now recognized in the
grand opera world to be the only one
that has, for the past several seasons,
survived the uncertain times in the
American musical field, it now being
an accepted fact that all other big
companies, including the Chicago and
New York organizations, have ended
their seasons with heavy financial de-
ficits. Upwards of one hundred people
comprise the San Carlos forces and
the performances are directed by two
celebrated maestros and the roper
toire embraces French, German and
Italian masterworks.
Three performances will be given,

Won BERNSTORFF.SURE
PARLEY WILL result
German Envoy Certain Wilson Note
Will Aid Peace Move.

When Count Won BernstorI, the Ger
man Ambassador, was informed of PresI-
dent Wilson's note to the belligerents,
he said:
Now 1 am perfectly convinced we will
have a conference"
The German asSador did not under
take to say how the conference would
be organized or where or when It would
be held, but he was certain that Presi-
dent Wilson's note would have the effect
of bringing about a discussion between
the belligerents of terms upon which the
war could be ended.
From authorities in close touch with
the German Embassy. it was learned that
Germany would be willing to accept
American mediation If the allies should
prefer that to the holding of formal
conference.
The suggestion was made that a simple
way of arriving at a preliminary under
standing would be to have a conference
composed of three members. one repre-
sendng the entente allies. one the
Teutonic allies, and one the United
States. The German authorities favor
any sort of a conference rather than an
attempt to settle the matter by public
exchange of notes. 1t was pointed out
that an exchange of notes would be
almost interminable and that it would
be impossible to safeguard the rights of
fourteen nations in that way.

1000 D. c. and Federal En-
ployes, at Mass Meeting,
Pledge Support to Plan.

An audience Of 1000 Federal and Dis
trict employees packed National Rifles
Armory last night and gave Representa-
tives Taggart, OF Kansas; Van Dyke. Of
Minnesota, and Austin. OF Tennessee,
round after round of applause and cheers
as they pledged their support to securing
a higher graded increase for government
employees than the and 10 per cent
granted by the House Of Representatives.
The meeting was under auspices of the
Federal Employees Union, and for en-
thusiasm and spirit exceeded all previous
gatherings held to promote the cause OF
higher wages. Recorder Of Deeds John
F. Costello presided.
1T wouldn't cost as much to give a
fair increase as it would to build a bat
tleship. and 1t would do infinitely moro
good" said Representative Taggart. 1T
costs 500 10000 to build a battleship, and
1t would take some low-browed, unfeeling
operator of a submarine which travels
under the sea less than twenty-five and
one-half minutes to shoot a torpedo
against it. and nobody would benefit from
the expenditure except the steel trust"
he added.
THE condition Of the Treasury, what
ever it Is, should not deter Congress from
doing plain justice to the government
employe. We have spent millions to pre-
pare adequately for defense and have
voted these millions in response to an
almost universal belief that in some way
we might become involved in the horrible
struggre that is going on across the
water. 1t Is my belief that all our
enemies are in the hospital or the grave
yard. And they are talking peace /

Taking up the argument adv anced by
opponents Of higher wages that the gov
ernment employees were free to quit and
could not make as much money in out
side pursuits, Congressman Taggart
declared that II the lawyers in Con-
gress argued on that basis. they could
not make their own salaries In their pro-
fession. He characterized It as fallacious
and as no argument at all.
