Young Barytone Among Those
Heard in Recitals Yesterday

Walter Greene, barytone who has
recently sung in light opera, made his
New York debut in song recital YES
terday afternoon at Aoelian Hail. Mr..
Greene has a voice, genuine BARITONE
OF excellent timbre and sufficient range
and power. which, however, he needs
to Tighten and render more brilliant
and elastic. For beginner his sense
OF style as evidenced in the opening
Parto," in Mozart's "Quando Miro
Quel Bel Ciglio,' and in Buononcini's
"L'Esperto Nocchiero." was unusual,
his phrasing rounded and his legato
admirable. Why, however, he in
cluded in his programme Arthur
Somerville's colorless cycle from Ten
nyson's "Maude" is mystery. A be-
glnner at his first song recital ought
not to worship at the shrine of bore
dom. Mr. Greene needs at present
llghthess, tone color and fire. To the
llrst two he can undoubtedly attain;
the latter is a gift the gods may grant
him.
Nine. Yvette Guilbert appeared YES
terday afternoon at Maxine Elliott's
Theatre in programme devoted to the
poems of Paul Nerlaine She was as

Perkins. Nine. Guilbert's interpreta-

Bile, but probably not as interesting as
her work in the fields in which she won
her fame. A large audience showed
great interest in all that the great
diseuse vouchsafed them. Maurice Els

COMPARTMENTS
The Philharmonic concert in the
evening at Carnegie Hall opened with
the overture to "The Magic Flute" fol-
lowed by Beethoven's Fifth Symphony.
The symphony has had many more in
spired performances than that given it
by Mr.. Stransky and his band in fact,
last nights performance was distinctly
heavy. The "King Christian" suite of
Sibelius, which came after the inter-
mission, is of no particular musical i'm
portance, though it is honest, straight
forward writing, and pleasing in it's
way. The soloist of the evening was
Raoul Vidas, the young Franco -Ru-
manian violinist who made such a ia
vorable impression at his recent re-
cital. In the Saint-Saens B minor con-
certo he deepened that impression,
playing with exquisite refinement and
polish, with warm and ingratiating
tone and with splendid rhythmic feel
ing and dash. The programme closed
with the Hungarian March of Berlioz.

Women Make Rapid
Gain in Replacing
Men in Industries
Change Here Follows the
Lines Adopted Long
Ago in England

Advance sheets of study of "Ameri-
can Women in Industry" made by the
National War Council of the Y. W.CA..
show that women are replacing men in
industry in the United States at
rapidly increasing rate At the end
of 1917 a relatively small number of
women had been substituting for men
but since that time, following Eng
lands successful example, women have
been added rapidly in war industry.
between the spring of 1917 and the
spring OF 1918, women to the number
or 2,1So were substituted for men on
six steam railways in and around New
York City, and to the number. of 1850
In ten munitions factories. Twenty
munltion plants in the Eastern states
employed nearly 5000 women.
In England the process has gone
further than it has in America. In
controlled establishments Enp]ish
women formed the following per-
centages of the total employees:
Banks and finance % 90 so so
commercial occupations .................... 16 80
SJas' iiS Hihis IA
N0.D' ""1'' '''......'............. 500
Even as far back as November. 1917,
the British munitions mission to the
United States said that 80 per cent of
munitions manufacture in Great Brit
ain was done by women--a 700 per cent
increase. Fully 80 per cent of the
manufacture of explosives was done bv
women and all Of the work on airplane
machinery.
In these respects America is rapidly
following Great Britain's example.

believe there are enough jobs for
every one and the only question is how
to distribute the workers"
A resolution was introduced by Miss
Smith at u meeting of the Central

affirming the right to a job, men and

Central Federated Union, in which

The resolution adopted in Washing

aWhereas, We believe that the
natural resources and industrial oppor-
tunities of the United States are suffi-

be prevented by proper distribution of
work and the workers;
"Whereas, We believe in the recog-
nized principle of the right to work
with equal opportunity alike for men
and women; therefore be it

problems in such manner as to deprive
no man or woman of employment, but
to redstribute the workers, men and
women, according to the new industrial
needs;
Resolved, further, That if pending
complete readjustment Of industry
there is found in given localities or
given occupations an apparent surplus
Of workers, the hours of work shall be
