Speculation in London

Speculation on the London Stock EX
change is not so dead as many have
believed. According to The Financial
N,ws," CT London, the only difference
between the present activity of this
class of business and the Lre-war
speculation is that purchases are now
paid for in hard cash. Traders who
have the means buy On the theory that
after the war many securities now
standing at low price will show very
considerable capital appreciation. "The
money paid" says "The News" Seems
to be regarded In the nature Of option
money for long shot"

Soldier Dollars Will Be Plenty

When asked what the prospects for
the success Of the fourth Liberty Loan
seems to be, bankers invariably an
swcr the loan will have to succeed.
They are interested now only IN cam
paign methods and in technical facts
about the bond. They do not think
that, in view Of the Importance of
the loan campaign in relation to the
war programme, there car be any
doubt about .he results Of the fourth

French Bonds at New High

French Republic 5'2s made new
high record for the year in the bond
market yesterday. They sold up to
1ool2, which is onc-half point within
the maximum figure attained III 1917
In January of this year the bonds
sold as low as 81, and the low last
year was 81 y. The cumulative ef-
feet of the excellent war news and the
narrowing of offerings in recent weeks
were regarded by traders as the causes
of the strength displayed.

Now in Aida" Verdi wrote no slow
waltzes like the last part Of I'll Balen";
and by abolishing the echoes OF the
dance he removed from his music and
from all subsequent Italian opera of
ambitious character its last relation
ship to the Santa Lucia quarter. But
he DID not abandon the aria form
which was foreshadowed in Monte

can see who listens 20 Celeste Aida"
and the big duets for the principals In

the supremacy of vocal melody, the
backbone OF Italian opera Despite the

In the trail OF Meyerbeer. the real elo-

Nerdi's Aida" Is his true transition
work. ''Otello" and "Falstaft" belong
to his second style. unless indeed one
will confess that "Falstaff" Is In a
third style. the most far reaching and
searching Of them all in its variety Of
expressive detail.
The Importance Of Verdi's work has
been underestimated in recent years.
This interpretation has been due to
the vogue OF Wagner and the emotions
aroused In certain exceedingly sensi-
tive minds by the contemplation OF
the astonishing fiuidity Of the De-
Russian system OF composition. Nat
urally lyric dramas In which the frank
italian tunes were the salient features
were regarded with grave disapproyal
by those whose souls yearned for the
long Wagnerian periods OF tragic dec
lamation leading at last to the stu
pendous rhapsodic outbursts Of The
Ring" and Tristan" or the equally
long Debussian periods of suspended
mclodic animation leading finally to
nothing but silence.
The Real Transition.
All are beautiful in their kind, and
II is folly to quarrel with one kind be-
cause it Is not the other. II one had
to listen for an hour to such strenu-
osity as Verdi's "Credo' Is made of or
such an incessant piercing Of the mind
as Bruennhilde's immolation, one
would without doubt be unspeakably
thankful for half an hour Of ''Pelleas
ct Melisande." But Verdi fingered the
gamut of the moods with cunning and
after the "Credo" there are milk and
