printed in notation elsewhere on this
page. There is little chordal writing
in the first movement, and little use Of
periodicity, the music running long in
a madcap race, the instruments drop
ping in now singly, now In groups, to
carry on the thematic line, the varying
types of which are indicated in the
first three slaves of the group Of IL
Illustrations. How naturally the phrases
adjust themselves TO the character OF
the bells and gongs is obvious at
glance The second movement Zine ~,
Gay and Wistful," is based on a tune
in a popular music hall style, "em-
bodyng," says Mr.. Granger, in a note,
that London blend of gayety with
wistfulness so familiar in the perform
ances Of George Grossmith, ir., and
other vaudeville artists" 1t Is very
graceful, pretty and very appealing
tune, indeed. The third movement
(line 5 of the excerpts) is the longest
and most ambitious of the four parts.
It is far removed in material and treat
ment from its companions, and the
percussion instruments that hold high
inks in the other movements stand
abashed here for the greater part and
do not obtrude their vulgar hilaHty
until the pastoral mood has given way
to that of Nibeheim. 1t is a moodily

No one Is more enthusiastic over
the historic pageant to be held in the
Yale Bowl at New Haven next Octo-
Der, as a part Of the Yale-New Haven

Of seven Yale men, Professor Parker is
naturally proud Of IT,

had to bear constantly in mind that
this pictorial music is for outdoor pro
duction. There is great difference
/ between indoor and outdoor music.
/ The latter must be written in broad
lines, just as painter puts on fiat,
sweeping strokes Of color. Subtleties,
delicacies and intrcacies Of pattern
must absolutely be sacrificed. for they
are lost in vast amphitheatre like the
Bowl.
"Of course. one must remember. that
this is descriptive music, and that de-
lineation in music is one of its weak
nesses. 1t leaves nothing to the i'm
aginaton. 1t tells story, and tells
the same story forever. Il is like a
painting that tells a story. It is al
ways the same. You can tell story
occasionally, but it becomes tiresome
when it is before you morning, noon
and night.
"The music of the pageant is writ
ten for a band numbering over 100
pieces and a great male chorus of sew
eral hundred. Stringed instruments
lose their effect in the open air, SO
we decided TO omit them"
Professor Parker has also written
the music for the Cupid and Psyche
! Masaue to be given at Yale on June
II6. The music is written in the
archaic style, for the scene Of the
masque is Florence, Italy, in the four
teenth century. The score is written
for eight instruments, including the
/ harpsichord.

ELECTRICITY IN SAx0NY NOW HELD
 BY GOVERNMENT

Zurich, Switzerland, May 2O.-The government of Saxony has decided to take over complete control of the gen. eration and distribution of electricity in the state. Coal fields and one big acquired, and the Saxon Landtag has just voted several million dollars for further outlays. Eventually it is ex- pected that the whole electrical sup ply in the kingdom will be taken from the state system so that the govern ment will be able to fix the lowest possible charges. At the same time the governments has no intention of preventing local public bodies or pri- vate corporations and individuals from producing their own electrical power
 As a, beginning, the government has purchased for million and a quarter dollars, the steam generating station at E1irschfe1de> on the river Neisse, be- longing to a Berlin company This station has already a capacity of 25- 500 kt1owatts and the plant is quite new. Moreover it is close to one of the coal fields bought by the state La ter the government will erect new works near the western coal fields, where there are already stations with which negotiations are now going on to arrange the necessary cooperation.
 A new department of the govern ment to be called the Direction of the State Electricity Works will be estab- lished to manage the scheme. It will include the technical adviser of the Ministry of Finance as Director. and two other engineers.

PRESIDENT WILL SPEAK OF PEACE.
 TO TAFT LEAGUE
Eager for End of War, But Fears to Make
 Premature Move.

Washin gton, May 20. = President Wilson accepted an invitation to speak before the League of Enforced Peace, which will hold a meeting here next week.
 While no details of what the Pres ident will say have been disclosed, it is understood he will make statement calculated to attract deep interest in European capitals. MT. Wilson fully realizes the significance of anything he may say on the subject at present.
 The President is known to be giving deep consideration to the possibility of bringing about peace, and to have a collection of every authoritative state ment on the subject made by any re- sponsib1e official in the be11igerent na- tions since the outbreak of the war. While officials realize that much of the peace discussion may be propaganda timed to fix the responsibility for con tinuing the war-they nevertheless be- Ieve it is entirely possible the time is rapidly approaching when peace pro- posaIs may be welcomed by all the belligerents.
 Close friends of MT. Wilson declare he is anxious to do anything within his power to bring about peace, but is mindful of the limitations which re- strict the action of neutral nations. Any premature move on the part of a neutral nation might have the effect of prOlOnging rather than ending the war.
 The House Naval Committee unani- mously adopted a resolution offered by Representative Hensley of Missou- ri authorizing the President upon con- c1usion of the European war to invite the world powers to a conference to frame court of arbitration, or other body, for peaceful settlement of all dis putes between nations and appropriat- ing $200,OOo for the purpose.
 The resolution is understood to have had the approval of President Wilson, Secretary Daniels and Chair man Padgett before it was offered by Hensley.
 Speaking about the Hensley reso1u- ton. MT. Kitchin said: ''If this is approved by Congress it will be the greatest stroke in the history of the world for peace, and MT. Hens1ey is deserving of great credit
 The White House has been, de1uged with requests for action looking to- ward peace. For the most. part these communications come from individuals and organizations moved by the loft caused not a little embarrassment. Ob- viously the President cannot step in without further ado and urge the na- tions to stop fighting
 Only yesterday-The Hague anniver- sary-the President was urged by rep resentatives of the Woman's Peace Party to act for peace.
 It is known that diplomatic represen- tatives in the belligerent capitals are indications that the several Govern IT. ents actually are prepared to enter upon negotiations for the ending of the war.

War Greatest Crime,
 Believes MT. Tamblyn

The pastor of O1ivet Congregational church, Main street at North avenue will preach a special sermon at 10:4o Sunday morning in recognition or Peace Sunday. The subject is '@The Enforcement of Peace" While MT. Tanablyn believes that 1t may be nec- essary to meet a bloody Turk with arms similar to those he is using in making an attack he believes that war is wrong and the greatest crime in the history of civilized nations. This view he has expressed in an address before the Pastors association and be- fore two gatherings of the D. A. R. While not a peace at any price man he believes that war at the least possible cost is the dearest, most senseless and most wicked of all methods used to settle disputes among nations

ABOUT THEATRICAL RUMoRs.

The rumors of local theatrical chan ges appear to be bit premature, if not decidedly off. There have been no changes in the management of the Park City or the Auditorium. The sit uation, as explained by Miss Mary E. Hawes to Farmer reporter to-day is this: Miss. Hawes has the lease of the Auditorium building. She sub1ets the building and the theatre is sub let by her to the management of the Park City. She has had the lease for six months now, and the lease runs for a number of years.
 ''The management of the Park City has not been changed and I have no Knowledge that it will be- she said. 'tEverything is harmonious with the management, so far as I am concern ed and mean to keep it so. The Au- ditorium will be sub1et to the Park City managers, as it has been in the past"
 Mrs. Hawes denied that she had any interest in MT. Parsons theatre in Hartford. It was rumored that Hen ry H. Jennings of the Park City was about to erect a new theatre on a cer- tain site in Main street.
