A. B. CRANDELL DEAD
Was Agricultural Editor of The Trib
une for Twenty-one Years


The little company of New York jour
nalistic veterans who were in the ranks
in Greeley's time was diminished by
one through the death of Alfred Ben
nett Crandell few days ago at his
home, at Woodbury. Falls, n. Y. Mr..
Crandell was born at Attlebury, n. Y,
on October 26, 1912. When his college
course was interrupted by poor health
he turned his attention TO agriculture
and to agricultural journalism, and IN
those pursuits ranked for many years
among the foremost Of his contempt
raries.
For some time he was associated with
Donald G. Mitchell ok Marvel") in
the editorship of Hearth and Home"
then a leading domestic and agricult-
ural weekly; for three years he was ag-
ricultural editor of "The New York
World" and in 1871, on the invitation
of Horace Greeley, he became agricult-
nral editor of The Tribune. The last
named place he filled with distinction
for twenty-one years, during which
time he maintained his department Of
The Weekly Tribune as one of the
highest agricultural authorities in the
press of the world.
After the discontinuance Of that edi-
tion of The Tribune, due to the changed
conditions of modern journalism, he re-
tired to his farm at Woodbury. Falls,
and there devoted himself TO farming
and to miscellaneous journalistic and
literary work.

Frieda Hempel, Alone of
Cast, Possesses the
mozart Style"
PERFORMANCEPROVES
DELIGHTFUL IN PART
Farrar, as Cherubino,
Fails to Recreate Low
able Philanderer

With much that was delightful in the
performance of "Le Nozze di Figaro"
at the Metropolitan Opera House last
night, the fact was forced upon the
minds of old operagoers that Mozart's
operas are rapidly disappearing from
the ken as well as the capacity Of mod
ern singers. 1t is only eight years since
the opera last formed factor in the
Metropolitan repertory, but in the
spirit. as we'll as the matter of the per-
Torrance it seemed TO have gone into
a decay indicative of a much longer
period of neglect.
The fault did not lie with Mr. Be-
danzky, who, in the choice of tempt
at least, represented better traditions
than did Mr.. Mailer, who conducted 1t
then-if Mr.. Mailer represented ira
ditions at all. There was an excellent
appreciation of the sparkling efferves-
cence of Mozsrt's music in all that Mr..
Bodanzky did, and had he received
such sport by all the stage people as
he got from Miss Hempel it would be
the pleasant duty of the reviewer to
record a triumphant revival OF the
opera.
But to imagine the Countess Of
Beaumarchaise, Da Ponte and Mozart
in the stolid and too mature figure
which Nine. Matzenauer presented was
impossible. Nor did Miss Farrar sue.
coed, in spite of her pretty face and
essays at srchness, in recreating for
us the most lovable of amorous,
youthful philanderers that the drama,
spoken or sung, has to show. In the
memories of the last performances she
fingered somewhat pleasantly, because
she was then fitted into better en-
semble and seemed less disposed to
believe that she was the central char
acter in the play. With Sembrich as
Susanna and Eames as the Countess,
she could not quite help it, of course,
but a loss of winsomeness in appear
ance and freshness of voice cannot be
atoned for by a growth in assurance
Mr.. Didur, who played the part OF the
Count last night, was the Figaro of the
last representations, and displayed the
same sound appreciation of his new
character az he had of the old; but De
Luca, who replaced him as the genial
factotum, was deficient in voice as well
as a sense of humor, and helped TO ac-
centuate the fact that the need of eX-
traordinary vocal gifts grows in exact
ratio with the size Of the auditorium
in which the work is sung. 1t seems a
thousand pities that the deterioration
of singers, coupled with the lack of a
lyric theatre adapted TO operas of the
old school, is threatening to Danish
Mozart and Rossni from the local rep
ertory. All that can be called sur
vival of the Mozart style in last nights
performance was summed up in the
performance Of Miss Hempel; she alone
knew equally well how to act her part,
sing her airs and speak her recitatives.
Thanks 10 Mr.. Bodanzky, largely, but
also TO the honest endeavor of the sing
ers, the inimitable finale Of the second
act went captally from a musical point
Of view. This was the distribution of

EDISON ENDORSES UNIVERSAL
MILITARY DRILL IN LETTER
Inventor Would Have Every Youth in
Land Trained Thirty-six Weeks
lBy Telegraph to The Tribune J

by Telegraph 70 Inc lnDuns
Chicago, Jan. 24.-Thomas A. Edison
announces himself in favor of universal
military training. In reply to a letter,
the worlds greatest inventor has writ
ten to Howard II. Gross, president Of
the Universal Military Training League,
that he believes "every healthy young
man in the United States" should re-
ceive military drill. Mr.. Edison's let
ter follows:
Dear Sir: Replying to your favor.
let me say believe that law should
be passed to compel every healthy
young man in the United States to un-
dergo military training for at least six
weeks in each year for period OF SIX
years. Yours very truly,
THOMAS A. EDISON"
at will be noted" said Mr.. Gross,
that Mr.. Edison favors six weeks drill
each year during six years, whereas
many of the men connected with our
league feel that it would be better and
more economical for the young man to
receive his training during one period,
say of six months. However, six
months ,ual twenty-six weeks of train
ing, whereas Mr.. Edison's programme
calls for thirty-six weeks. He would
give the lad more drill than we would"
