intense Germanism pursued the con-
ductor, however, and were not multi
fed by the too transparent appeal
for refuge behind an ancient certih-
cate of Swiss citizenship. The regu-
lar concerts of the orchestra were
given in Boston, Philadelphia and
other cities, but score Of the play
ers being prohibited from entering
the national capital because of their
German citizenship, the Washington
concerts were abandoned and a con-
tract in Chicago cancelled. In the
summer the committee of manage
ment, DR.. Muck having been in
termed, following the less thorough
example of the directors of the Met
ropolitan Opera Company in New
York, refused to engage any but ma
tive or naturalized Americans for
the coming season.
The outbreak of the war seemed
to menace the continuance of opera
at the Metropolitan Opera House
four years ago. First there was a
question whether or not some of the
singers and orchestra players who
had returned to their European
homes for the customary summer
vacation could be brought back for
service. At the last, however, the
roster Of the company was complete
save as to Dinh Gilly, who as a
French subject was detained as
prisoner in Austria. That detention
deprived the company of his very
useful services in the season of
1914-'15, and of the still more use
full services of Miss Emmy Destinn
ever since, that lady having shared
the lot of her friend and comrade

news only a few weeks ago of her
Punishment from the opera at

Effect in Chicago
And in Boston
Before the middle of October
1914, all obstacles in the way of the
season had been removed and the
only effect upon the institution was
to injure it, though not to a serious
extent, financially. Two sources of
the injury were the bankruptcy of
the Chicago Opera Company and the
dlsbandment of the Boston COMPANY.

Making Money
And Loyalty

This feeling of intolerance was
more in evidence in the concert room
than in the opera house. Some sing
ers who, ] fear, were more eager to
make money than to prove their low
atty to the United States. banished
all German songs from their pro-
grammes; nearly all the rest sang
the songs of German composers in
English translations. Local orches-
tras IN some of the smaller cities of
the country cut out even the music
OF the classics, and this blind folly,
which could but react to the debase-
ment of popular taste, found men
and women of culture who justified
it. AS if the music of Haydn, Mo-
zart, Beethoven, Schubert, Schu-
mann, Wagner and Brahms, all long
dead before this war was more than
a wicked dream in the minds Of the
German Kaiser and his advisers.

Other towns are watching us to see what we do on propositions like the securing of the slave mill, the propo- sition that is offered us by the Arka- delphia Milling Company, and we must not let the interest in this pro- ject abate until it is secured. The following is taken from the Arkadel- phia Daily News and is by way of comment on the article in a former issue of our paper: "The Philadelphia Milling Company has made the citi- zens of Prescott a proposition to es- tablish a stave finishing mill in that city and from the following article published in the Prescott Daily News it would seem that the people of that enterprising little city are about to accept the proposition; and it is a safe bet that if they do they will not have cause to regret their action"
