Societe des Instruments
Anciens in Second Con-
cert of Week

The SocietG dcs Instruments Anciens
gave its second concert this week yes
tcrday afternoon at Aeolian Hall, ap-
pearing this time in conjunction with
Nine. Gabrille Gills and Joseph Bonnet.
The societe played Brunis Third Sym
phonic and with Joseph Bonnet at the
organ, Hacndels Concerto in y.
Perhaps the most interesting item
Of the afternoon was Nine. Gills's sing
ing to the accompaniment Of the
clavecn of songs by Iaendel, Bach,
Mozart and Rameau. 1t is pity that
the songs Of the old composers cannot
be heard more often with this accom-
paniment, an accompaniment so pecu-
liarly suited to their spirit. Especially
delightful were the Bach Aria dc la
Cantalc Nuptale, and Rameaus "Air de
la Falic" Nine. Gils is an accom-
plished artist, possessing an impec
cable taste. a fine interpretive sense,
and admirable diction, and she was
head Yesterday. as always, with pleas
ure and profit. The accomplishments
were sympathetically played by Nine.
Patorin
In the evening Miss Amparito Farrar.
a young and very pretty soprano from
California, gave her first New York
song recital. Miss Farrar, though as
yet by no means a finished artist, has
abundant possibilities. Her voice,
though slightly clouded in it's lower
register. is generally of pure and in
gratiatng quality; not large in volume.
but of not a little emotional appeal.
Her French diction was admirable; she
showed intelligence Of interpretation
and a just taste. Her programme in
cluded songs by Debussy, Faure, Du-
pare, Rachmaninof', Liszt and Georges.

America Will Be
Predominant Partner

The United States is, or is about to
become, the predominant partner in
the great organization that has been
formed to beat the German. Our money.
our ioodstutfs, our supplies of various
kinds, and finally our soldiers and sail
ors, are essential to success. We arc
the last reserve Of democracy. If we
can develop the necessary system and
apply the requisite executive ability
the general direction Of the war should
devolve upon US. That inevitably
means that supreme control Of inter
Allied transport should be in our
hands.
To-day the European allies utilize
their transport system as a unit. The
United States will come 10 the same
thing or it will have to confess un-
bellcvablc incompetence There re-
mains the uniting Of our system and
that OF the Allies

less there is no health in the Admin
lstration at Washington we shall soon
see in some form complete unfication
OF traffic direction on railways and on
the sea. Practically all of the ills that
now bcset the nation at war are trace
able in part to the absence of CEN

whether it be the coal famine or the
congestion Of freight that chokes the
railways while waiting ships arc empty.

OF our own traffic problem, still fur

Central Control

There Is now rough endeavor at CO.

ships arrived in the Atlantic with
$4,000 tons of foodstufs from the Pa
ciflc Coast consigned to Europe. 1t
was the intention Of the Shipping
Board to transfer this stuff to Allied
ships, as there was immediate use OF
another nature for the SHIPS for Ameri-

on the Shipping Board to keep the
American feet s.eaminy directly to
Europe while the Shipping Board util-
lied for its purposes an equivalent tom

waters. The saving in time and labor
is obvious.

Every department of government and

allowed to draw checks and drafts on

There has been run on the transpor-

and the present coal shutdown may be
broadly interpreted as an effort to stop

Do you remember the panic Of 1907?
The banks realized that it was impos-
siblc to give everybody his money at

and everybody kept going In 1917
there was no run on the money banks,
eut there was an awful run on the
transportation banks.
Everybody wanted all his transporta

STILL THE TEACHERS
KEEP ON RESIGNING

Another reduction in the number of
teachers available for the coming
term at the local public school, was
announced this morning. Superinten-
dent George Fox, of the local Board of
Education, has received the resigna-
ton of Miss Ethel Johnson, who has
been teaching in the Fifth Grade of
the local school.
The action of the teachers, in An
napolis, and throughout the rural sec
'tions of the county. in resigning at
this late date, after having in the
spring, signed contracts to teach for
another year is causing the Board of
Education no little embarrassment
and inconvenience. While earlier in
the season it was possible to get good
teachers, and a number of applications
were turned down, now it is very hard
to find instructors as all have gotten
themselves places for the coming
year.

OFFICER CAMPS TO BE
OPENED TO CIVILIANS
Preference. However. VIII Be Given
Men Selected From Ranks OF
New DraiteeS. 1t Is Said
Considerable interest has been aror

Considerable interest has been arous-
ed in Annapolis from where many
young officers have made good in the
Army, in the announcement just made
from Washington that the Secretary
of War will give a limited number of
men in civil life an opportunity TO
enter the next series Of officers train
ing camps.
Selected men-that is. men called
under the draft-will be given prefer
ence in this matter, however. This is
a settled policy. A vast majority of
the new commissioned corps win come
straight from the ranks, but Mr.. Baker
wants it understood that he is not
disposed TO close the doors absolutely
to the men of military age who, be-
cause OF dependents, cannot afford to
go through the draft mill as means
of earning a commission.
Also it can be stated with assn.
rance, although there has been no an
nouncement to that effect, that the
Secretary of War will probably lift his
ban against commissions generally TO
men in private life just as soon as the
registration and classification of the
new classes is concluded. The order
holding up the issuance of commits
sions to civilians was issued two weeks
ago in the face of a stampede of men
above 81 years of age who sought to
escape the draft by joining the com
missioned personnel of the army.
