ORCHESTRA HAS
APPEAL TO ALL
ssIe5 ~ ~
Northwestern Organization
is Nationwide in its
Scope.

That one of the really great Aneri-
can orchestras should have its home
in a northwestern city, has excited the
wonder of many critics. While the
Minneapolis symphony. orchestra
travels annually over the continent, 1t
is primarily a northwestern institution,
the pride mi inspiration of its
native state and city.
Minnesota has SO long furnished
the east and west with their bread
and butter and some Of their beef
that little besides these staples has
been expected from it. This year
Minneapolis has the distinction OF
sending to these and other cities an
orchestra equal in artistic stature to
any grown there. Minnesota finds
| that she can feed the souls as well as
the bodies of the folks throughout the
/ country.
The situation is much like that in
! which neutrality-suspicious. n should
, say New York-hgured when it was
, discovered that American actors and
literateurs were delighting England
that the freshness and virility of
American talent surpassed that of
Great Britain.
American audiences are finding in
Emil Oberhoffer's reading a fresh
ness and virility that surprises n de-
lights them. Wearied of pedantic
tendencies, they are awakening to
enthusiasm over the fresh view
point from which the middle western
orchestra approaches the great or
chestral work. both new and old.
The Minneapolis Symphony orches-
ira comes to the auditorium for a
matinee and evening concert on
April II. In addition to h members
of the orchestra, there will be a
group of soloists. whose numbers are
to supplement the orchestral program.
The proceeds of the concerts above
the expenses, are to be turned over
to the Y. Nj. c. A. of this city for the
iY M. c. A.. war fund. .

HOW WAR HAS HURT HOLLAND
Conflict Has Had Marked Evil Effect
on Morals of Citizens OF the
Little Country.

Holland, no doubt, had It's many
faults and shortcomings, but 1t GER
tainly never was a corrupt country,
either In administration, In politics or
in business, Matthuys p. Roosebo0m
writes in Atlantic. This war has fos-
tered temptations and vices totally
e to the country. AS conditions grow
worse protiteering, boarding, trying to
%circmnvent regulations, lack of respon-
sibility and Of public feeling, selfish
ness, lust Of undue profits--all these
do increase.
Then there are the spies of all ma
tionalities having centers In our coun-
try, trying to brlbe our folk into rem
dering them services for high rewards.
Then there Is the gradually growing
unemployment, with its curse of idle
ness, making men prone to succumb
to the temptations Of profitable snug
Cling. Then there are the many unde-
sirable foreign elements, the alarming
growth Of prostitution and its Inherent
evils, the increasing number of thefts,
burglaries and wen murders.

He climbed up beside the pilot and
