school will be heard. The public il
cordially invited to attend.

An "lntermezzo" by Daniel Gregory
Mason will be feature Of the Flon-
zaleys Quartet's second subscription
concert in Aeolian Hall, Tuesday eve-
ming, January %. This work, which is
still in manuscript, is in one movement
and is intended as a sort of entr'acte
between more fully elaborated quartets.
The first Of it's two contrasting themes
is described as sprightiy and somewhat
whimsical, while melody imbued with
deeper feeling introduces n more
thoughtful episode. The Flonzaleys
will open their programme with the
Beethoven quartet in fat major. opus
"a, and will close with Schumann
quartet in A major, opus Al, No. 3.
Interest is attached to the concert
which the Russian Symphony Society
will give at Carnegie Hall on Saturday
night because of two numbers which
will find place on the programme. The
first is a series Of four tableaus from
'RimskyKorsakoff's opera "Le Cog
dor" or "The Golden Cockerel," to be
produced in its entirety shortly at the
Metropolitan Opera House, and the Sec
end will be a rehearing Of Scrlabine's
"Poeme Extase," which has not been
played in New York for ten years.
Pushkin's poem Of the same name
formed the basis for the libretto of the
RimskyKorsakoff work
Bielsky, the librettist, in his preface
to the work, says of it: "The purely
human nature of Pushkin's Golden
Cockerel'-that instructive tragi-cornedy
Of the unhappy consequence following
upon indulgence in mortal passions and
eaknesses-permits us to place the
plot in any region and in any period"
The story recalls the simple customs
and daily life of the Russian people, Civ
ing completer view of the lighter side
of their nature than have the other Rus
sian operas that are now familiar to
American audiences. Its qualities are
crude, strong coloring, an exuberance
and yearning for liberty and freedom
of eXpressior--a freedom which was de-
MED the composer himself, for the pro-
duction of the opera was not sane
toned by the censor until after Rimsky-
K korsakoff's death.
1t will be recalled that Rirasky-
Korsakoff died in Lonbensk, near
Petrograd, in 1908, just year after he
had completed this his last opera, and
it is said that the action OF the censor
in refusing to allow public perform
ance with the authorities Of the Con-
servatoire at Petrograd hastened his
death.
The version to be played by the Rus
sian Symphony Society is an arrange
ment by Glasunov of the principal
melodies and most important parts of
the work.

A Varied Selection of Secular
Songs

Of secular songs Mr. SCHNEIDER has
made varied selection. "Under the
Elms' is Il spirited comic ballad, in
threc-eighth time, making sport of a
husbands attempt to discover the un-
faithfulness Of his wife. "The Three
Drummers" is a Spanish version of the
French folksong, "Lc Jol Tambour"
But far more effective is "The Silver
smith," designated under the general
term "El Pano." 1t is cast in a pe-
crliar Andalusian rhythm familiar to
admirers Of "Thc Land of Joy,s' which
is syncopated according to a regular
scheme giving the effect of two meas
ures of three-cjehth time followed by
one of threefour. The song, with
its pseudo-guitar accompaniment, is in
tenscly stirring. And one must rot
overlook the exquisite verses, which re-
tain rare charm even in literal
English translation. In the "Serenade

to represent the Moorish influence in

with n sort of vocal cadenza, fore and

These casual notes only suggest a
few of the many elements Of interest
III the coming concert. But it is we'll
to stop here, for music such as this
must not be talked to death. 1t Is nee
essary to add only that the arrange

call upon a wide variety of'choral re-

The Meddling Justified

10 the purist it is little short of a
sin to mcddle thus with folksonp
especially when the process is carried
to the extent of introducing new mu
slcal material. But there is another
aspect of the matter. This song. in its
original form, was not only q melody
but also ballad. Merely to ing the
melody once or twice to the words of
one or TWO stanzas, as was done by the
Orfeo Catala, is to chop off the head
Of the ballad, which is an art work
equally with the music. And since the
persistent repetition of the tune is
quite out of the question. some liberty
must be taken. Mr.. SCHNEIDER takes il
boldly and doubtless with a full appre
cation of his responsibility 1t is a
liberty which must constantly be taken
with folk music. The justification lies
in the fruits.
Ehls license is carried still further
by Felip Pedrell, mentioned above. in
his ballad Of Don Joan and Don Ra-
mon," for which the composer has
drafted two folk tunes from the island
of Mallorca. The fine text is evidently
related to similar murder ballads of
ether lands and in its inqusition scene
suggests the famous Scotch ballad.
Edward" a splendid version of which
has recently been discovered by Cecil
Sharp in the Appalachian Mountains.
Pedrell has rightly read the text as a
drama, and has attempted to heighten
the dramatic conflict by every reason
able means consistent with the spirit
of the ballad form. even to the extent
of initiating the beating of horses
hoofs in the bass. More freely vet
has A. Nicalau, another contemporary
Spanish composer, treated the text of
the ballad "In the Monastery of Mont
serrat (the place known by name to
lovers Of "Lohengrin") with the aid Of
old Gregorian tunes. At one point he
even tries to suggest the tuning of the
harps in heaven--all, Of course, with
the unaccompanied chorus. But the
most ambitious venture of all is Mr..

yanv have come to regard this pair of
concerts as one of the Indispensable
pleasures of the musical season. For

to the great majority Of attentive mu-

k;own to them, save through the trans
forming medium of large orchestral
works and operas. And some such
welcome surprise is anticipated each
season by those who have learned to
vstch for MIR. Schindler's programmes.

rejection of the renewed interest which
Spaniards are taking in their national
music, thanks to the tireless labors of
their nationalist composers, such as
psdrell and Albeniz.

"Christendom's bristling guns, and
the cry of peace and safety with
which many teachers filled the world
just before the great war burst
forth in 1914, arc a striking paradox,
and an unfailing sign that the end

to Evangelist Hopkins, a Seventh

cred an able discourse at the gospel
tent, corner Sixth avenue and f

The modern inventions which

and mediatory functions is express
ed in our willingness to submit to
its arbitration any dispute which
might arise between the manage
ment and the employees over a ques-
ton of pay or working conditions.
We believe, however, that we are
entitled during the war to maintain
the dictum which the secretary of
labor has so well expressed in these
words:
Wherever an employer or an
employe has been unable under nor
NAL conditions to change the stand
ards to their own liking they should
not take advantage of the present
abnormal conditions to establish
new Standards
Bars Men From Organizing.
I'VE have for years maintained
the position that our essential EN-
ployes, those working the wires,
should not affiliate with organiza-
tions employing the strike either for
their own benefit or sympathetically
for the benefit of others. This pol
icy long has been known to our EN-
ployes and we have considered alb
sentation from such affiliation a
condition of their service, and today
there are no members of such or
ganization in our employ.
I'VE desire to be perfectly frank
with you, sir, as we have been with
the board. We are not favorable to
sharing the responsibility of con-
Quoting great public service with
the peculiar features of the tele-
graph, which the exigencies OF the
war have increased many fold, with
members of an outside organization
whose interests are personal rather
than public.
Cts 80 Per Cent All Service.
"The telegraph business that
comes to us is about 80 per cent of
the total, and this volume involves
about l,500,000,0O0 landings per
year. Obviously, properly to han
die so vast volume promptly and
accurately requires Complementary
effort and cordial cooperation be-
tween all employees"
The quality OF telegraph service,
Carlton goes OH to explain. depends
absolutely upon the spirit OF indi-
vidual employees" just as in the
postal and rairoad servic and he
points out that a small minority of
employees not cordially cooperating
may seriously interfere with the
speed and accuracy of messages"
In one part Of his letter Carlton
contends that the labor board
reached no decision under the pro-
cedure fixed for it, inasmuch as FIVE
votes were cast against the Walsh
Taft plan, whereas the procedure
required the vote to be unanimous.

WAR SUMMARY

Holding their lines intact along
virtually all the ninety miles of bat
tie front from the Adriatic to the
Asiago plateau, the Italian and al
lied armies appear to have given the
Austrian armies serious setback.
Approximately 100000 Austrians
have been hurled against the Italian
front, but have gained little except
along the Piave River, where their
progress is seemingly too slow to
be threatening to the allied posi-
tions.
Losss, which are described as
frightful, have been inflicted upon
the Austrians in the areas where the
principal fighting has taken place.
In the mountainous country where
the British have been holding their
positions solidly. thousands of the
enemy have perished, while they
have paid heavily for every foot
they have advanced along the Piave
Ri.-r front.
In the Montello area on the up
per Piave the Austrians seem to
have gained foothold on the west
bank of the river. North of Benson
loop and to Cape Sile, (lower down,
they have also moved westward,
but their greatest gain does not ex-
ceed two or three miles. 1t seems
that, 50 far in the battle, the Aus
trians have gained the most ground
at Capo Sile, a village situated west
of the ?iave River and surrounded
by lower marshy land, which in it
self does not lend itself readily to a
rapid advance by the Austrians.
