leading artists to constitute three sep
arate and distinct casts. The person
mel of the organization now embraces
the names of a. dozen or more stars OF
equal renown, a fact which has en-
abled Impresario Gallo to add notably
to his already extensive repertoire of
the past. Some twenty master-works
now comprise the list of operas given
by the San Carlo company on tour,
and 1t is a weIl-known and remarkable
fact that in one of its recent St. Louis
engagements fourteen different pro-
ducfions were staged by the organiza-
ton within a period of two weeks--a
feat previously unaccomplished in
American opera history.
In the San Carlo company's recent
three-weeks' engagement in New York
every one of the twenty-four per-
formances were entirely sold out, and
hundreds were turned away nightly.
All records for operate, attendance
and receipts were shattered, much to
the amazement of the seasoned opera
goers and wise managers of the
metropolis.
The organization appears here for

In addition to the singers who have
so eloquentIy aided in winning a fore
most place for the San Carlo Grand
Opera company in the world of song,
the forces of this favorite organization
were still further augmented this sea-
son in the enlistment by Impresario
Fortune Gallo of several world-fa-
nous artists whose engagements
abroad have been seriously interfered
with because of the existing war stu
alton. What is another country's loss,
however. is Americas gain, musically
considered, for the acquisition of these
singers has so strengthened the san
Carlo company in the matter of prin-
cipals that there are now enough

PROGRESS OF THE NEGRO RACE
Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin.

Editor Honolulu Star-BUlletin.
Sir: Having read "A Trip Through
the States" by a member Of the
Saturdays in succession, | take the
liberty to correct the impression given
in this story concerning the negro.
Special mention was made Of the
slave house and darkies picking cot
ten. We as a people do not consider
it fair on anybody's part to write
stories about us unless our virtues as
we'll as our faults get publicity
To tell strangers about our ability
to pick cotton without mentioning our
ability to practise medicine is unjust.
In the same states where the writer
saw "darkies" picking cotton, are 81
banks owned and controlled by
"darkies." Schools, churches, stores,
hospitals. and anything else that any
body else has we have, too. These
banks that | speak of do an annual
business of $2O,0O0,000 Again, in the
same states are white children whose
parents are poor, moored behind the
walls of the great cotton factories,
spinning aid weaving from 6 a. m. to
7 D. m. learning to chew tobacco and
dip snuff before they are ten years
of age. Ask your delegate about the
child labor law that stareS Congress
in the face.
In Washington where the slave
block was conspicuous, is Howard
university, sending out men and Wom
en- yearly, who are competing success
fully with men from Harvard, Yale,
Princeton, Colgate, etc. This. my
own Alma Mater, is as important as
the slave house. Besides this, there
are negroes living in Washington hold
ing positions all the way from diplo-
matte and consular service to I'M
skilled labor in the patent office.
We have fought in every war since
IS, and stand ready with our money
and boys, to carry "OId Glory over
the top" in France, and bring her
home victorious or report to God the
reason why.
We love the whole t.. S. from Bos,
ton. Mass. to Frisco's golden gates.
This has been our home since 1919,
and we cannot see why foreigners
enter our gates with an open razor

Of completely in conspiracy to foment rebellion

fore the United States severed diplomatic relations
with Germany and became an active ally of the
Entente Powers, and while Rodiek was still Ger

with instructions from the German government
Despite his plea of guilty we find it difficult to
haIieve that Rodiek has Intentionally committed

If the president delivered his address to Congress
without coming to previous understanding with
our Allies in Europe, he performed the boldest act
Of his career since he virtually made claim to the
leadership of the combination against Germany. If
there had been understanding reached IT is clear
that Mr. Wilson's world leadership IN the struggle
against Germany's apotheosis OF autocranc insol-
enee and brutality is already conceded. In either
ease the address bids fair to. be memorable in the
worlds history-Sp Springfield Republican.
