SUBMARINES SINK u. S. TRANS.
PORT, "THE JUSTICIA."

The giant White Star liner JUS
ticia has been torpedoed and sunk off
the coast of Ireland. 1t is believed
no loss of life occurred.
The Justicia was formerly the
Dutch steamer Statendam, which was
taken over by the British Govern
ment on the stocks at Belfast when
she was nearing completion. She was
a vessel Of 1924 tons gross.
No passengers were lost and only
ten of the crew were killed.
The first torpedo struck the engine
room and the ship then stopped. Sew
eral other torpedoes were fired, but
tive.
Four hundred of the crew of the
torpedoed liner have been landed.
They report that the liner was sunk
after a twenty-four-hour fight with
submarines.
The story of the fight between
the German submarine and the JUS
ticia, if it could be told, would make
one of the finest stories in the an
mails of anti-submarine warfare.
All those on the Gloucester fishing
schooner Robert and Richard, sunk
by German submarine of the Maine
coast Monday have been accounted
for. There were twenty-three per-
sons on the vessel. Three men were
landed at Kennebunkport and eleven
at Gloucester. Four more were
brought to Portland, Me-, and four
men and boy were picked UP at
sea and taken to Boston.
All but eight of the fifty-nine men
reported missing after the sinking OF
the armed cruiser San Diego Oh
Fire Island, N. Y, last Friday, have
been accounted for, said an an
nouncement by the Navy Depart
ment. Further reports are expected
to reduce this number and officials
hope that the only fatalities will be
the three men killed by the explo-
sion.

He used no book, but that is a mat

it Influenced the performance. 1t is,
Of course, as a brilliant German mu-
sician once said, much better that
conductor should have the score in
his head than his head in the score;
but unless ne can convey his knowl
edge to the musicians under him, it
will avail him nothing. Evidently
Signor Toscanni's head and heart
are full of Nerdi's music, and his
transmission of what he knows and
what he feels is magnetic"
Signor Toscanni never gave cause
for reversal or modification of this
judgment. On the contrary, everything
that he did in the conductors chair
for Italy, at the end of the season of
1914-15 not to return, increased the adj
miration for his great talents of those
capable of occupying the seat of judg
ment.
The causes which led to the severing
OF his rotations with the metropolitan
opera were never divulged That there
was a desire on the part Of the man

gifts, and the fact that his presence in

to some extent it modifes the horror
of the play and lifts into relief its few
moments of cheer. But it is a hundred
times pitiful that the son of dancing

did in the music associated with the

Destinn, who had effected her debut or
the American stage in aida" on the
opening night of the season, played the
role Of Marta. In pose, gesture, facia
expression and poignancy of utterance
she recalled memories of Duse in the
original form and Calve in the operate

No answer to this telegram was re-

Signor Toscanin, who had a son in the
Italian army, was periodically giving
his services to his country by directing
concerts for the soldiers.
The first novelty of the season was
brought forward on November %, 1908.

before I had remarked in The Tribune,
in support of contention steadily up
held ever since, that America must
and will have distinctively national
school of composition, which was only
who, as Walter Bagehot argues in his
discussion of the origin of literary
schools, shall strike out that rough
notion Of the style which the American
for that reason will find imitation. The
characteristic mode Of expression which
will be stamped upon the music of
the future American composer eve are

of the Anne rican's freedom from con-
ventional methods and his inherited
predictions and capacities. "The re-
Elective German, the mercurial French
man, the stolid Englishman, the warm
hearted Irishman, the impulsive 1tal-
ian, the daring Russian, will each con-
tribute his factor to the sum of ma
tional taste. The folk melodies of all
nations will yield up their character
istic charms and disclose to the COM
poser hundred avenues Of emotional
expression which have not yet been
explored. The American composer will
be the truest representative Of the uni
versal art, because he will be the truest
type of the citizen of the world"
I have never so much wanted these
words remembered as now. If ever
there was an opera which came out of
an inter-racial melting pot it is "Tief-
land" 1t is tragedy, but like Car
men," which is also tragedy, it invited.

of local color upon which national
schools are now based. That founda-

clash Of nations which shall end in the
liberation of peoples from political

principle of f-government 1t will
endure, believe, until an idealized in
tcrnationalism brings with it new
idioms sprung from universal concepts

ton, Mr.. Hertz had studied the score
with the composer in the summer and
Herr Schmedes had created the role OF
Pedro in the original performance of
the opera in Vienna. The Spanish play
by Angel Guimera, upon which the
opera is based had been seen in New
York little more than two years be-
fore in an English version at the Man
haitian Theatre, and also in March,
1903, when it had revival under the
title Marta of the Lowlands." The

Of Catalonia and low down in the val
legs Wherefore its operate title) and
resents vivid picture of wickedness,
misfortune and primitive virtue such
as can easily be believed to be existent
amid such surroundings as it pre-
sents. To serve his own ends, a viii
famous lord Of the manor lures a shep-
herd from his hills into the valley, and
in the guise of a blessing for which the
highland man had long been praying
gives him to wife the woman whom he
had held in vicious thraldom for
years; gives her to him only in name
to further his own mefcenary purposes,
but purposing to keep her, nevertheless,
for the qualification of his own appe-
titles. There is a period (brief, for the
action is swift and all comprised with
in the space of day), in which both
victims remain ignorant; then an awak-
enng, which in the woman replaces dis
gust and hatred for her nominal hus-
band with love and turns the obedience
of the simple man Of the hills into
murderous rebellion. He strangles his
fiendish lord and master to death and,
taking his wife into his arms. carries
her to his mountain home, where in a
purer air she is to awake to purer
life.
A combination of circumstances in
vited to some curious speculations
apropos of this production. 1t was a
German opera; the book, on a Spanish
subject, was by an Austrian drama
fist; the music was by a pianist of
Scottish birth whose grandfather had
been a French cavalry officer, father .
FrancoGerman by birth, an English
dancing master by profession, mother
an English woman; the composer
Eugene (now Eugen) Charles Francis
d'Albert, unsteady product of the
National Training School of London,
IS the artistic man without country,
since, so far as he has protested any
allegiance at ALL it is to Germany
though there is less German blood in
his veins than French or English. The
Italian general manager of the theatre
at which the opera had been produced
had been honored on the eve of the per-
Torrance by public dinner presided
over by Walter Damrosch, patriotic
American born in Breslau, at which
Horace Porter, II. Z. Krehbiel, George
B. NJ. Harvey and Count Massiglia, the
last representative of the Italian gov
eminent, had made speeches. Of late
there has been much speculation touch
ing what is to come out of the Amer
lean melting pot, and such mixture of
elements as had representation at this
premiere might naturally turn that
speculation toward the question of the
American school of music which lies in

An Analysis Of
Tiehand"

The lbretto of "Tief1and" cannot be
said to "yearn" for music as Wagner
insisted that the book of lyric drama
should, but it contains elements with
which music can meet in a mutually
beneficial union. There is in the sym
bolism Of the play large proclamation
of virtue in the heights and vice in the
lowlands. Verbal preachments of this
kind are more likely to cause amuse-
ment than to awaken reflection or stir
the emotions; but for symbolism music
has a language which the orchestra can

w turbed by the dssensions
which had broken out in
the management before the doors Of
the opera house had been opened
for the first performance, the friends
Of German opera, fearful that the
new managers would prove to be
reactionary, and the rivalry Of the
Manhattan Opera House threatening to
grow more and more formidable, the
twenty-fourth regular subscription sea-
son at the Metropolitan began on No
vember Is, 1908. During the summer
sops had been beautifully thrown to

ment Of Mr. Dippcl as administrative
manager, Mr.. Gatti's protestations OF
cclecticism in taste ard Mr.. Toscanlnl' 9
devotion to the best types Of German
opera, including Wagners dramas.
That devotion, it may be said at once,
was beautifully and convincingly
demonstrated in the season and after
ward I'D to the time of Mr.. Toscaninl's
departure from the Metropolitan at
the close OF the year 1914-15. The
terms administrative manager ana
"ioiut directors" were construed by the
public generally as indicating that Mr.
Dippel would have powers coextenslve
with those of Mr.. Gatti in the de-
termination Of the artistic policies OF
the establishment, and that those
powers would be exercised specifically
in the production of old and new operas
in the German repertory.
The plan Of the board of directors of
the company was vague and tentative
and it was obviously necessary that
there should be not only an extern
sion Of the term Of engagement of the
manager and conductor, who had been
brought from Italy, but also sharp
definition of authority if the standards,
commercial and artistic, of the Metro
poltan Opera were to be maintained.
To these ends the newcomers from
ABROAD addressed themselves vigorously
il routrance. with the consequences to
Mr.. DIPPED that were set forth in the
preceding chapter of this chronicle.
Nevertheless to Mr.. Dippel was given
large authority. While Mr.. Gatt re-
inforced the Italian side Of the house,
Mr. Dippel reinforced the German with
, artists, scenery and choristers as each
thought best under the supervision Of
the executive committee of the board
Of directors of what became the Metro
politan Opera Company as soon as that
style could legally be adopted.

after funeral services by Rev. J. W.

boast of no better woman than Mrs.
Thompson was, and there was none
who knew her but who spoke well of
her and expressed regret at her pass
ing away. She was Christian in
all that the word implies, and n
member of the Mt. Hebron Baptist
church for the past thirty years,
nor did she stop at having her name
enrolled on the books Of the church,
she was an untiring and conscient-
ious worker in the Masters cause.
The deceased was SO years of age,
and was daughter Of the late John
Wesley and Rhoda Kidd. On Jan.

The soul is safe in Heaven.
Peaceful be thy silent slumber,
Peaceful in thy grave so low;
