demonstrated in stimulating style fy an
eminently praiseworthy venture at the
Academy of Music
The socalled FESTIVAL of lyric drama
in progress there gives respectful consid-
GRAFTON to popular works of the standard
repertory. The artists involved have been
virtually exempt from that circusing
which has so harmfully accorded to opera
in this country the rating of costly
exotic. Their abilities are authentic and
admirably fitted to preserve the true spirit
of masterpieces, sometimes unfavorably
affected by the superpomp and circum-
stance of costly subscription seasons.
In q word, this unique summer expert
men fa.hered by Mr.. Davis, Of Pitts
burg is as sane and healthy as it Is
artistic. The moderate prices chars ed
place the performances within reach of
the ordinary theatregoer. who has long
fought shy Of the flve-dollar ticket plus
war tax. This is. of course. the clientele
upon which grand opera, to be normal,
should draw.
Repeated in subsequent summers. it is
hiSnlH likely tiidt an operd'ic cSSie VI
this kind could be established on a profit
able financial basis. While the project Is
still new. not a little genuine idealstic
enthusiasm is discernible in the manage
ment This commendable spirit also il
lumnos the excellent individual interpreta-
tions and should inspire the music lover as
well.
It is sign of the times that most OF
the talented principals are Americans.
Travel restrictions have greatly checked
the once traditional flight of songbirds to
foreign opera houses. Mr.. Davis. who is
a practical theatrical man, has been shrewd
enough to corral much good art thriving
close at hand.

FREDDY WAS TOO EAGER

HSHE German Crown Prince, who failed
= at Vcrdun. is said to have been so
zoASer to get to Paris in the March drive
that ne balled UP Hndenburg's plans and
prevented the success of the German
armies.
This is a good excuse because it is so
plausible. The Crown Prince would like
To see himself at the head of his armies
making a triumphal entry into the French
capital. The scene would make a fine
historical painting to hang on the walls of
the Potsdam palace when the crown rests
on his head.
But the truth probably is that the En-
tente Allies put up too strong resistance
for either Hindys or Freddy to break
Through. OF course, they are helped by
the Crown Prince whenever he appears
against them, for he is the kind of soldier
Who delights in attempting the impossible
in order to win great glory.

TRUCK BY MOTORTRUCK

THE advantages of motortruck delivery
= of vegetables, eggs and poultry from

been discussed for years, but they have
been more apparent on paper than in
reality.

high prices have produced such conditions

A transportation expert may be able TO
devise a plan for carrying back to the
farms and villages the products of the
city and thus get a load both ways. At
any rate, the experiment is worth trying
It ought to help the farmers by providing
quick market for what they raise, and
Il ought also to help us in town by giving
us fresh vegetables and eggs at lower
price BY increasing the supply.

SITTING U.BoAT FACT FROM FANCY

WMAGINATIoN bodies forth the forms
of things unknown" and that is pre-
cisely why the British Admiralty's latest
figures on the destruction of submarines
are so much less alarming than they may
appear at hasty glance.
At first blush the prevalent hopeful be-
lief that both England's navy and our own
are sinking U-boats at a rapid rate is
uncomfsrtably compromised by the state
ment that only thirteen of the Germa n
undersea craft out of every hundred re
ported as sent to the bottom are actually
listed in the naval records as lost.
According to the fights of the superb.
cial pessimist therefore the sea pirates
seem to have as many lives as cats. Cap
tans of war vessels or armed merchant
men repor. Victories and in no time that
same destroyed" submarine is conducting
afresh its predatory campaign.
Happily the real truth OF the case is very
much simpler than any such tribute to
Teuton terrorism. Macbeth's air-drawn
dagger was nonexistent. So, according
to the Admiralty's sober opinion, are at
least one-half of the U-boats, reports of
whose fate are made by incoming ships.
Imagination Is tricksy sprite and par
ticularly potent when one is fighting a
hidden menace. The Allies can indeed
control the worlds commerce. but not
myths.

WORSE THAN A BLUNDER

TT IS extremely unfortunate that the
= Western Union Telegraph Company has
been charged with sending its night let
ters by messengers in competition with
the mail instead of over the wires.
The fact that such method of transmit.
ting them relieves the<wires of congestion
and secures their delivery as quickly as
II they were sent in the way expected does
not relieve the company of blame, assum-
ing that it is guilty 1t is contrary to the
law to maintain any system of delivering
letters in competition with the regular
mails. The express companies were
stopped some years ago from handling
letter mail in order that the monopoly of
the Postoffice Department might be pro-
tected. =
The charge, coming on top of the COM
panys controversy with the Government
over the labor problem, will arouse storm
Of Indignation and the advocates of Gov.
eminent ownership will renew their cam
paign.
But Government ownership of the tele-
graph lines must be opposed by all those
who wish for efficient and impartial serv-
ice. 1t would be a calamity to put the
control of the telegraph lines in the hands
Of the politicians and subject large users
of telegraph service to the tender mercies
Of men more interested in protecting the
party in power from criticism than in
serving the public.
If the charge against the company is
proved somebody has been guilty Of worse
