ENGLISH HARD FOR SINGERS
Chief Difficulty Is That Language, IN
like German and Italian, Is Not
One Of 6road-Vo~el Sounds.

When an audience can't tell whether
song is being sung In English or
Choctaw 1t is time something was
done about II, and something is going
to be done, Il appe0rs, by a group Of
well-known singing teachers and per-
formers known as the Society of Eng
lish Singers to Standardize the Teach
ing Of Singing in English
Francis Toye, who tackles the prob
lem in the London Nation, points out
The source Of the real difficulty. and,
tells why songs sung In English are
often unintelligibIe:
THAT there are difficulties in sing
.ng certain English syllables on certain
ootes may be admitted" says Mr.,
roye. English, unlike German and
Italian. Is not predominantly a Ian
guage Of broad-vOwel sounds. Il Isl
comparatively awkward. for instance,
to sing FIX or her or sun with a
oud, sustained tone on a high note.
But If composers knew their business
they would not save in very excep-
tional circumstances, ask the singer TO
do anything Of the kind.
Half the imaginary difficulties Of
singing English arise from the incom-
petence Of many composers in setting
L 10 music They seem neither 70
.hink IN terms Of singing nor to study
he natural rhythm Of the language"

Shows Preclude Operations

PETROGRAD, April l, (Via London.
April ,. No serious activity may he
expected on this front in the near flu
ture. The melting snow, which rem
ders the roads and rivers impossible.
precludes any big operations.
This declaration of the Russian war
minister, Alexander Guchkoff, at staff
headquarters after a visit TO the
northern front appears to dissipate
the alarm created by the startling
warning of II war minister q week
ago that the capital itself was men
aced by a threatened German attack.
II was argued at the time Of the min
isters warning that the mobilization
of enemy forces along the northern
front was seized upon as preteXt by
the new government to arouse the ar
my and the working men and stem the
tide of disorganization.
Whether the danger was eXaggeIat-
ed, the effect of the warnings has been
to arouse sentiment of patriotism
among soldiers and workmen never
before witnessed in Russia. On the
other hand the war office was evident
~ at that time convinced of the i'm
minence of danger, as shown by a
statement to the Associated Press that
the German plan to attempt an i'm
mediate march on Petrograd.
Whatever prompted the warnings,
the situation is completely changed
from week ago when alarm in the
capital was general. Today, after an
inspection OF the troops and learning
al first hand their actual attitude to-
ward the government and toward a
continuation Of the war, the war min
lister said:
Il consider it harmful to sound the
alarm that the enemy is approaching,
that the country is menaced by HIM
and that it is necessary 20 leave ey-
erything and arm ones self / consider
it harmful, because there are no f2.cts
upon which 10 base such alarm. At the
same time the moment has come when
we must work for our defense. | re-
peat, there is every prospect that the
Germans viii try 20 begin activity
along our front.
the minister said that what he saw
on the front gives no basis for pes
simism; that the mood of the troops
IS good and that everybody believes IN
victory. The troops only insist upon
intensive work IN the preparation and
transportation Of munitions. AS an
evidence of the responsiveness OF the
Workmen to the appeals of the goVel n
ment, eight hundrd munitions Workmen
recently adopted resolution that any
demand 1T present FOR increased pay OF
shorter hours would he unfair to 0dv

An Indication Of the spirit of the
troops is seen in endless parades with
banners, the tenor of which is war
until final victory Another possibly
unprecedented event was the request
of the Nolynsliy regiment, which By its
revolt. precipitated the revolution ln
the seat of interest made several days
ago.
The Polish members Of the duma ana
council of ministers have rendered their
designations on the ground that their
continuance in office would be incon-
gruous in view OF the fact that the
