Much public comment was aroused by
two exceptions; but there will be no
occasion for comment next season in
the case of Nine. Gadski. She will not
be reengaged. That is well. 1t would,
indeed, be monstrous TO continue to
pour money into the lap of a woman
whose husband, when plotter against
our neutrality confessed guilt IN our
Federal court, was denounced by the
United States Attorney as a willing
conspirator in the plot to wreck the
Welland Canal, who had escaped pun
ishment because of the credulity of the
Jury that tried him. To enable the
wife to give help and encouragement
TO her husband would, indeed, seem to
come pretty near to that species OF
treason which consists in giving aid
and comfort to the enemy.
Moreover, it may be- fairly urged
that the changed conditions brought
upon us by the war have placed upon
us an obligation toward our own peo-
pie which, II we fulfil II, may advance
native art more rapidly than any
amount Of listening to foreign sing
ers. Many American artists who have
been singing in the theatres Of Ea-
rope. more particularly in Germany,
because there they found opportunities
TO gain routine denied them at oar
aristocratic establishments have been
thrown back upon our shores. Are
they not entitled to benefit from the
new conditions? Perhaps we have
been too fastidious in the past. Per-
haps we may not relish the style Of
singing which has been forced upon
them during their sojourn abroad
But if we are going to dispense with
some luxuries Of dress and food for
the general good, might we not a.so
be willing to dispense with some OF
the Injuries to which the opera has
accustomed us7
Another thought: Let the Metro
politan Company be recruited more
literally from the ranks of Ameri-
can singers, and we shall not only be
spared such defects as married the
production Of Gluck's "Iphigenie en-
Tauride," but the way will be paved
for fitting representation Of English
and American operas in the repersory.

had proved himself a valuable member
Of the company, if not an indispensable
one. His detention in Austria, how
ever, reacted upon the company this
year in depriving it of the services of
Miss Destinn, who, either voluntarily or
on compulsion, shared the lot of M.
Gilly. Many were the surmises as to
the cause of her stay in Europe, not
the least interesting one being that
she, an ardent Czech with a ready and
caustic pen, had aroused the displeas-
ure Of Austrian officials by her poetical
attacks upon their government.
BEFORE the middle Of October all OBJ
stacles in the way Of the season had
been removed, and the only effect OF
the war upon the enterprise was to in
Jure it financially. Two sources Of the
injury were the bankruptcy of the Chi
cago Opera Company and the disband-
ment of the Boston company, with
which the Metropolitan company had
working agreements for the exchange
of artists. 1t Vas said that the local
company lost money, whereas it had
ended the two previous seasons with a
surplus. About the middle Of the sea-
son Mr.. Gatti intimated that circum-
stances had brought about the occasion
for retrenehment in the matter of hon
noraria hitherto paid to some of the
principal singers. Whether or not he
carried out his plans OF reform We do
not know, but the next season ended
profitably, at least so far as the opera
was concerned, though the experiment
Of binging the Russian Ballet to this
country and sacrificing three weeks Of
the regular season to it may have been
a costly handicap. The fact that the
company did as well as it did last year
was due to an increased subscription
and a remarkably liberal patronage on
the part of the general public, which
had begun to feel the prosperity
brought to many, especially Of the
class fond Of the social display which
attendance at the opera offers, by the
war trade. This success has been con-

the freight money on the ground that
this restitution constituted reca pture.
The court to-day held. however, that

peculiarly American. the owners of
hull and cargo regained their respec-
tive properties; it was proximately due
to the law of the United States that
this good fortune fell TO them"

did. Indeed. II was the only possible
thing TO do under the circumstances
