Great Composers.

Up to his ninth year Walter DAM

on his annual Spring Festival Tour
with the New York Symphony orches-
ira. lived in Breslau, the city Of his
birth. Young as he was. he still has
vivid recollections of many musical
celebrities at his fathers house, among
them Won Bulow and Taussig. He
remembers once, when at the age of
six, he hung Welcome" woven of
green garlands upon the door, know
ing that Joachim was coming to dine.
Wagner was there also at the christen-
ing Of brother Of Frank and Walter,
named Richard, who died. Richard
was godson to Richarl Wagner, being
godsQn to Liszt.
Madame Giardot, the singer, who was
a great friend of the writer Turgenieff,
was also a frequent visitor at the
Damrosch household, as was also De-
sire Artot, with whom Tschiakowsky
had been SO passionately in love.

With the later childhood of Walter
Damrosch weer mingled the sounds of
the Austrian -Prussian and the Franco

: Walter Damrosch went to New York
nt the age of nine. He learned Eng
lish quickly and applied himself to it
with all the more energy as the boys
3eered at him for his "Dutchiness." He
was put to work studying the piano,
his teachers at different times being
Won Inten. Boakelmann and Maxx Pin
ner. The first teacher of piano that
Walter Damrosch ever had, however.
had been Rafael Joseffy, who, several
years before the period of his migra-
tion to America, had been sent by his
former master, Taussig, to Breslau to
DIR. Leopold Damrosch.
Later on, in New York, he was put
to work drilling small choruses and
later the drilling of the big motions of
the chorus for the first New York
music festival, which was held at the
Seventh Regiment armory in 1879.
/ He was also required to play the piano
at the rehearsals of the Oratorio So
ciety, and in this way learned the
standard oratorios backward and for
ward.
The Damrosch symphony orchestra
will appear here on April 10 under
the auspices of the school of music at
the State University. An extraordi-
nary degree of interest has been shown
everywhere in western Montana. Calls
for reservations have come not only
from Missonla people, but also from
people in smaller towns in the Bitter
Root and to the west, indicating that
many will come here for the concert.
Indeed, but few of the seats at the

GIVE US TIE SHIPS.

After contest over the point as to where the authority really lies be- | tween General Goethals and Chair 1 man Denman of the shipping board resulting as it has in the needless de lays of weeks in getting the ship building programme properly under way. it is not surprising that two
 members of the board have sent in
 their resignations because they de-
 plore not only the spectacle that is
 being caused by the manner in which such a situation has been allowed to
 overshadow the all important ques-
 ton of producing a fleet of ships to ace. but the fact that such a delay is tolerated.
 President Wilson has seen the ad- visibility of taking a hand in the mat ter and General Goetha1s has furnish ed to the board his plan of operations
 in order to hasten the time when work could be gotten underway. but as has been pointed out, the chair man has been in the possession of this informa tion for a week and as vet it has neither been approved nor dis approved
 Delay through this quarrel over au- thority has characterized the boards actions almost from the start and delay is the one thing which ought to have been overcome. What is need ed is the speedy construction of yes sels. Today in spite of the activity in the shipbuilding yards on both sides of the Atlantic the new tonna se which is being turned out is insufi- cient to offset the number of ships that is being sent to the bottom, and the quicker this can be reversed the quicker the most powerful instrument in the hands of the enemy will be checked and the end of the war will be hastened.
 It is time therefore that the presi- dent took hold of this matter and set tied the controversy once and for all. General GoethaIs was named for his work because of his ability. Chair man Denman was a political appointee and under such conditions there can be little question as to what the chief executive should do to speed up the construction of ships. Remove the trouble, stop the talk and give us yes sels.

ECCENTRIC YOUTH

1 thought she was entirely right and that the average boy mortified me and
 how I had paid especial attention all
 ways to Arthurs mannerss nrtaI ana II ous boy he was one. Why, Arthur l has wonderful manners! And just then we turned into the long corridor
 where the lockers are, and what do six other boys, sitting cross legged, way up on top of the lockers, with orange colored donkey ears attached | to their heads. They were w1ggifng chanting something about if the ocean
 were one sea of beer how they would | love to be little submarines' And my Arthur never tasted beer in his life, I thought I should drop through the floor, but I managed to call faint ly and ask what on earth he was do-. ing! He stopped chanting long enough to say he was being initiated into something or other. and then he went right on with his awful song!
 "'Arthur!' I shrieked. Stop it, and come down this minute!
 "He actually looked annoyed: He
 stopped again and exp aimed that he
 couldn't get down till some one came
 and helped him. Arthur is rather
 plump you know. When I naturally
 inquired how he got up, they all stop
 ped chanting and just yelled. They said Toodles and Snaps-did you ever
 hear such frightfui nanes?-Toodles and Snaps had permanently sprained
 backs from hoisting Arthur up, and
 that nobody dared risk getting him down. Then they sighed tremend- ously and said he probably would have to pass the sumner up there, but I was mt to worry because they would carry him bread and water every day-and then somebody whistled at them, and they instantly began swaying and chanting again, I never shall forget Mrs. Ringbelt's giare-that ends Ar thurs chances with Angelica, Not that there is anything serious-but I think so often these sweet school Friendships develop into something stronger later on"
 We'll sighed the lady with purple spots, since the day I went downtown and on the corner of Randolph and Wabash ran into a guffawing crowd and discovered my other son, James. balanced on the freplug, auction off some wi ted, moth eaten heads of let tuce. nothing surprises me!

STORIES OF THE WAR
Nature In the Fighting Zone.

The following is taken from q let ter written by an officer in France:-
 I am writing this in dug-out where I have been for a few days. I believe there are birds' nests on the top of this humble dwelling; anyhow, often hear the birds twitterinG away and every morning a lark gets up just outside and sings away nlcrrily. The weather is beautiful and every one is fit and well.
 I remember rem arlxing in one of my letters home how the effect of our in tense ombardment is So treme T dous that one wonders whether anything in the earth is left alive. That was in the winter. Now that spring Is here one sees that practically everything in the old mother earth is as viz orously alive as ever. Mans work goes to pieces, but even the most in- tense smelling is but mere scratch on the surface of the earth. The birds live their life just the same and field mice and other small creatures make their homes and play about in she'll holes. Swallows are flying overhead magpies hop about on trees and ruin ed shanties as checkily as possible The other day I was startled hy a whirr of wings. and a couple of par tridges got up from some hiding place, and whizZed across the broken up ground.

AMBASSADOR TO JAPAN.

Just at this time the selection of an ambassador to represent this country
 among any of the nations engaged in
 the war or in fact the sending of any
 diplomat to a post among any of the
 leading nations of the world, is a
 matter of great importance. For that
 reason the naming of Roland c. Nor
 ris as ambassador to Japan cannot
 fail to elicit more than ordinary at
 tention for in view of the relations
 which have existed between the two countries and the necessity of prop
 erfy handling those relations there is heed of selecting the best man avail able and not simply one who is a deserving politician.
 IL is claimed for Mir. Morris that he is a man of education, possessing high business ability and prominent social ly, all Of which may be important in considering the qualification of man for such a post, but it is a noticeable fact nevertheless that no mention is made to the effect that he has had any training in diplomatic affairs or that he has even had any experience in that direction. It is said that he has taken 8 prominent part in the political affairs of his state of Pennsy lvania. that he has stood for reforms and that he is an indefatigabIe worker, but there is nothing to indicate that he has made any study Of the situation in the far east, that he is even acquaint- ed with the questions existing be- tween this country and Japan or that the qualifications which resulted in his selection are such as to make him the best man in the country for the position to which he has been nomi- hated.
 Rather are there reasons for believ- ng that he has been named because 1f his political activity and because t was believed 70 be the proper time l 0 pay 8 political debt, instead of be- ng named upon merit for one of the 1 most important posts in the dfplo- 1 natic service of the country

CANNING LESSONS
Drying Is Easy.

| Fifty years ago it was a very com l mon thing to dry practically all kinds days bulletin from the National Emergency Food Garden Commission, which is cooperating with this paper in its nation wide campaign for the conservation of the food. Now drying has become a lost art but the pres method of food conservation In this year of great food production, it is essential that some means be taken for the prevention of waste during
 the time of over supply
 Advantages of drying are most ap- parent to the housewife who has not root cellar or other place in which to
 store fresh vegetables and frts;ts.
 When the markets are overstocqS sd, she can lay in a supply, dry it and store it away for the winter without its taking up much space. If she is accustomed to canning her vegetab bles and fruit and is unable to obtain jars or cans. she can easily re.'ort to dry ing. Many time there will be quan- titles of food left over which are too small for convenient canning. A few Ieas, carrot or turnip may be dried at time and a quantity sufficient for a meal will soon be dried and com bined for soups and stews-
 strong point in drying is the ease with which it may be done. Nearly all kinds of fruits and vegetables may be dried at small cost by means of the ordinary home utensils. The food to be dried may be placed on dishes nthe oven, with the oven door par tiauy open. or on the back of the stove wnile the oven is being used for cooking. It may also be done on sheets of muslin or paper In the sun.
 There are three methods which give very satisfactory results for home Drying: Sun Drying. Drying by Arti- fciaI Heat, Drying by Air Blast {Elee- tric Fan-) These methods may be combined advanta geously.
 All material should be washed and prepared carefully. After cfear:ng. the material should be bianched and cold-djpped as for canning and then regular drying process carried on.
 To be dried quickly, most fruits and vegetables should be shredded or cut into slices because large pieces will dry on the outside. forming a skin preventing escape of moisture.
 Another precaUtion to be taken, es- recially Tn artificial drying. is to start with a gentle heat and raise slowly to a higher temperature after the whole material has begun to wither.

THE NEW CHANCELLOR.

The much looked for address from Chancellor Michaelis has been delfv- cred and 1t Is impossible to discover where it shows any marked differ snce from what might have been said by his predecessor on such an occa- sion The new chancellor doesn't commit himself or the imperial gov ernment to any radical reforms, it does not show that it is for peace ex- cept such 8 one as would result with Germany the victor and in it's refer ence to the valuable service of the ex-chancellor it gives very little comfort to those who were in strumental in bringing about the re- novaI of Bethrnann Hollweg.
