GREAT OPERATIC ARTIST

To Make TranscontinentaI Tour Of
The West-James Goddard of
Grand Opera Fame To Sing In
Payette June 5oth, 1917, During
/ Chautauqua.
James Goddard, a grand opera star
who has won more than the usual
success with various grand opera Or
ganizations is to be the leading at
traction in our city on the Chautau-
qua course which has been arranged
by the Ellison-White Chautauqua Sys-
TEN OF Portland, for this summer;
and that so great an artist is to
visit US, is one of the strangest evil
dences of the general musical grow
tn of the country.
Mr.. Goddard made his debut at
Covent Garden, London, as Fasolt
one of the giants in Das Rheingold,
and was Immediately pronounced a
find by the press of London. After
three seasons with this organization
during the last of which, he alter
mated as leading basso of the Mon
treal Grand Opera Company. Mr..
Goddard accepted a contract for six
years with the Imperial Opera Com
pany of Vienna, where he was sing
ing when war was declared. He re-
turned at once to America where he
was Immediately engaged by General
Director Campanini for the Chicago
Grand Opera Company. He has just
been reengaged with that organiza-
ton for a period of three more years
which in itself is an evidence of the
high esteem in which he is held. He
has won equal success in orator o
and recital work and has appeared
with all of the leading choral organ
izations of the country.
The engagement of this artist by
the Ellison-White people was GER
tainly a master stroke and offers to
our city, especially those who love
the best in music, rare treat.

LONDON GETS
EXPECTED AIR
RAID monday
NIGHT EARLY
Hostile Arplanes Visit Eng
lish Metropolis According
To Schedule. Remain Over
City For Forty-hve Min
utes.
(By Review Leased Wire }

LONDON, Sept. 25.-There being
perfect weather Mondy nigh. for op-
erations, Londoners expected visit
from German craft, and their expecta-
tions were fulfilled. Shortly after s
O'Clock guns were heard firing in the
suburbs and the metropolis had a rep
eti-ion of the experience to which it
has become accustomed.
Between and o'clock the noise
of battle was heard throughout the
city. Anti-aircraft guns were heard
being fired from numerous points and
bombs could be. heard dropping.
Searchlights played over the city and
the rocket-like bursts of shrapnel fur
nished an interesting spectacle.
Slaughter Is object
The purpose of the Germans appa-
rently was the indiscriminate slaugh-
ter of the civilian population. AS far
as investigations of the Associated
Press up to 2 o'clock this morning
were able to discover the casualties
were few.
AItdCk hSSluSnCe DiSITlCt
The Germans did not attack any
point of military importance. but drop
ped their bombs, as usual, on the resi-
Dental districts, mostly on the dwell
ings of the poorer classes.
People Calm
Performances in most Of the thea
ters proceeded without break. Many
persons living in the neighborhood of
the underground railways took refuge
in the stations. The work of the pS-
lice, firemen, civil cons.ables and Red
Cross, as well as the women's aux
iliaries, was prompt.
No reports of any serious casualties
have been received by the press asso-
Citations, although the suburbs have
not yet been heard from.
In Three Squadrons
Latest reports indicate the Germans
came in three squadrons. The first
warning was given in the outlying
districts at 1920 o'clock, and the po-
lice announced "All cleared" about 10
o'clock. There were unusual scenes in
the underground railway stations. Wo-
men in evening clothes rubbed shoul-
ders with tired laborers homeward
bound carrying kits of tools. Many
persons sat down on the stairways and
read newspapers while waiting for the
signal that all was clear. Others sang
and some danced. But there was an
other side to the picture. Mothers un-
able to get lone were distressed about
the safety of their children, and
wounded soldiers hobbled to places o.
safety on crutches, attended by their
nurses.
After the raiders had gone the
streets where bombs had fallen were
crowded with many thousands of sight
seers. 1t was well after midnight be-
fore LonGon returned to normal.

Yankee MedicOs
Commended Upon
Under Fire Work
(By Review Leased WireJ

BRITISH FRONT IN FRANCE
AND BELGIUM, Sept 24.-(By the
Associated Press. American surgi-
cal teams have again been doing mag
nificent work in advanced casualty
clearing stations since the latest of
fensive began, number of surgeon
and helpers being under a heavy shell
fire at times.
At one :ation out in the neighbor-
hood of the Ypres- -Menin road several
surgeons and assistants have been la
boring steadily since Thursday morn
ing. Those who have seen them at the
operating table, while shells were
breaking about them, declare that
they have never witnessed a demon
stratlon of grea 5er coolness than was
shown by these men who welded the
knife to save life during those nerve
racking times.
Those who are acquainted with the
ordinary hospital operating tables, and
know how much care Is taken to pre-
vent noise and interrup lion, can well
realize what it means to carry on Il
delicate operation while great shells
are exploding nearby.
Another American surgical team has
been working in a German prisoner
camp where wounded captives are
taken. There are still others scattered
about a. various points.

Action at Verdun
Has Center Stage

Violent attacks by the Germans
against the new French positions
northeast of Verdun on Monday were
checked with heavy losses.
The assaults began with an attack
on front of about mile and quart
er north of the Bois le Chaume. Only
in the center of the assaulting line
were the Germans able to reach the
French positions, the artillery dispers-
ing them elsewhere The French
fought valiantly and remained masters
o fthe situation after inflicting heavy
losses on the Germans.
Later in the day the crown prince
hurled two new attacks against the
Bois lie Chaume, only to meet further
failure.
On the Aisne front there has been
only artillery activity except for the
repulse by the French of a German
surprise attack north of Braye-En-
Laonois.
Quiet In Flanders.
In FLANDERS there has been no
great infantry activity although the
opposing armies are still busy. The
German fire is reported heavy on
both banks of the Scarpe, east of Ar
ras, around Lens and northeast Of
Ypres.
Russians Active.
On the Riga Dvinsk sector OF the
eastern front, the Russians continue
their efforts to drive the Germans
back toward the Dvina in the region
Immediately south of Riga. Petrograd
reports the capture of a German de-
fensive position in the sector of Sill

Austrians Fail.
