Damrosch Insists
On German Music
Would Rather Lay Down
Baton Than Ignore Mas
tiers, He Tells Audience

The use Of German music in this
country, even though we are at war
with the nation from which it spranc.
was defended yesterday afternoon by
Walter Damrosch in brief address
which he inteTpolated into the first
concert Of the New York symphony
Orchestra, held in Carnegie Hall.
Mr.. DamroSch's address was in
spired. he explained. by a letter which
he had received from an old subscriber
20 the concerts, asking whether it
would not be as well to omit German
music from all programmes until the
end Of the war.
Concerning Germany as she is TO-
day the conductor advocated no half
way measures.

as hard and as quickly as we can until
the victory we all hope for is achieved
On this point there can be no tenn

determination stands for
"To me it would seem unutterably
wrong and officially false TO carry our
righteous indignation against the Ger
man government TO the point OF ex-
Guiding the great German masters 10
whom as a people we owe so much.
How can we look upon Bach or
Beethoven or Brahms as PruSsians

world and who no longer belong only
to the country in which they happened
to have been born, but are a part and
parcel Of the emotional and artistic
life of the entire civilized world?
"As well might the Austrian Cath
olics regret that the Pope was born in
Italy, or I. as an American. renounce
my Protestantism because Luther was

the great German masters, who form
the very cornerstone Of all that music

Music
Orchestral Season Opened by
New York Symphony
Bauer and Dambois
Are Soloists

The orchestral season was formally
opened yesterday afternoon, when the
New York Symphony Orchestra gave
it's first concert at Carnegie Hall. IL
was most grateful to listen to the
orchestra in it's old home. and the
band never sounded more resonant vi
better balanced than 1t did yesterday
There have been few changes IN the
personnel of the orchestra. and Nj.
Damrosch and his E.en are always III
perfect sympathy and understanding
The concert opened with the or,
chestrs playing THE Star-Spangieo
Banner" The programme proper
opened with Beethoven's Firth gym,
pnony, a number which is an Ola ana
loved friend of Mr. Damrosch. ana
which he conducted con amore.
His reading of Rimsky- horsakon
"Scheherezade" lacked little IN hre'
but mis- accompaniments for Mr.. Bauer's
playing were in impeccabie taste:
MIR. Bauer played the Bach u Minor
Concerto and Richard Strauss niue
heard "Burlesque" for piano ana or,
caestra. This latter work gave iul'
play to the pianist's fancy, as ala the
Bach concerto to his sense Of line ana
proportion. In short. Mr.. bauer ma
seldom been heard to better advantage
at least with orchestra.
The Aeolian Hall recital was gwen gwen
bv Maurice Dambois, the young beI.
eian 'cellist, whose appearance iasI
wear gave much promise. His playing
of the Sammartini G Major Soha,a'
especially the SLOW movement was
finely done, his tone warm ana p .a.isr
delicate. Other numbers were jules
de- Swert's D Minor Concerto and seiec,,
tions by Bruch, Pepper, Faure ana
Schumann.
MIR. Dambois is an artist of excellent
qualities. lacking as yet a llttie III
brilliancy of execution, but wei
grounded and sincere. lie was warmly
and Justly applauded.

 However, the war mas changed all this.

ARKANSAS SHOULD
 HAVE MORE SHEEP
Only 35 Per Cent of Wool She Used.
By J. Fl. Mcleod, Senior Livestock Specialist, Extension Division, Uni yersity of Arkansas.

By J. H. Mcleod, Senior Livestock
 Specialist, Extension Division, Uni
 versity of Arkansas.
 Arkansas should have more sheep. The need of raising more sheep Is ap- parent from the fact that in 1916 the United States raised only 35 per cent of the wool she used. There has been very large increase in the demand for mutton to feed the millions Of men who are now on the European front. and while the demand has been for more sheep, the number of sheep has decreased in the United States, due to the opening up of Government land ir the West for settlement and the losses in sheep upon the ranges through disease.
 Although there have not been many sheep raised in this state, we know that Arkansas has a number, of ad- vantages for sheep production We have very mild climate and for this reason can produce grass almost the ysar through We also have large acreage of high, well drained cheap land in North Arkansas which fur nishes favorable conditions for the keeping of large focks of sheep at a comparatively low cost. Arkansas men who have gone into the sheep business and followed it in an intelli- gent manner find that they are a very profitable investment.
 First: They pick up great deal of waste about the farm that other farm animals cannot utilize.
 Second: They clean up the weeds and cause grasses to grow where weed patches were before.
 Third: Sheep furnish quick returns. Ewes can be bred in the fall and their lambs marketed eight or ten months thereafter.
 Fourth: Profits are large.-it is usually considered that the wool will pay for the keep of the ewes and the lambs come as clear profit
 Fifth: Sheep are good soil builders. sheep manure being the richest ma nure produced by any farm animal.
 Sixth: They require little expen- sive feed.
 Seventh: Money from sheep comes in .n the spring at time of the year whom few other products are being put upon the market
 While the prospects for sheep grow ing look very good, the Extension Di-

vision does not want to encourage anyone to take up this line of livestock industry unless they have had pre- yious experience or have an honest desire to study and learn the nature and the requirements of sheep With out love for sheep and knowledge of the industry. little success can be expected.
 One of the main essentials in grow ing this class of animals is good pas. ture. Permanent pasture should be established with orchard grass or Bermuda grass as basis. In the northern section of the state orchard grass is better adapted to the soil and climate In the central and southern portion, Bermuda thrives best. With Bermu- da grass can also be mixed lespedeza which makes its rankest growth dur ing the hot summer months, bur clov- CT which thrives during the winter and white clover which begins it's growth early in the spring. Besides 6 permanent pasture temporary pas ture should also be provided.
 Size of Floeks: It Is the opinion of the most competent authorities that sheep can be handled in the most eco nomical way with not less than fifty or sixty ewes as unit. The advan- taEe coming from this large number is that it does not cost much more to fence, shelter and care for fifty or sixty ewes than it would smaller number, and for this reason when the large numbers are handled the cost per eve is much less than when only a few are carried in the flock While it is true that experienced men can handle most adyantageously sheep in the number suggested, with the be. ginner it is no doubt best for him to start with eight or ten ewes and gradually increase his flock.
 Kind of Sheep: IL is not well for the beginner to start with pure breds. but he should begin with good grades. Perhaps the best place to secure these grades Is from the Stock Yards Mar kets through some reliable commls- sion firm. The majority of the ewes upon the markets come from tue western ranges and are for the most part of the Merino breed. These ewes. however, can be bred up quickly by using rams of the breed preferred. The lambs from Merino ewes and nut ton rams make rapid growth and sell we'll when placed on the market. When giving an order for this stock 1t is well to write. the commission man the breed of sheep which you pre- fer and caution him not to buy ewes that are too old. Quite number of the stock coming from the Western ranges are old ewes that have broken mouths and cannot for this reason graze to the best advantage.
 Those who have purchased sheep and care to have information upon the care of them can secure this in- formation by writing the Extension Division of the University of Arkan- sas.

Washington, Dec. .29.-Peaee
promises to be the transcendent
theme of the state department the
coming year. in sharp contrast to
the almost warful moments of some
months last year.
Intermittent peace talk took def
mite form in the last weeks OF De-
Icember, after Germany had propos-
ed peace to the Allies. From now on,
it will be the enormous subject be-
fore the state department in view of
the fact that this government seems
destined to play a big part in what
ever peace negotiations are under
taken.
Yet while peace talk passes back
and forth between the ehancellories
of Europe and in the granite halls
and mahoganisd chambers OF. the
American state department, other in
ternational matters of grave mo-
ment, must be settled. These ques-
lions, serious at times almost to the
point of ruptured relations, are di-
rect heirlooms of the war, affect
