NEW YORK, Nov 25.--The first
move in German counter revolution
may be present In the proclamation
of the Berlin workmen and soldiers
council claiming control all over Ger
many.
There is little doubt but that the
Ebert ministry exercises little real
authority throughout Germany. 1t Is
not in a position to speak for the
German people as a whole. The
spread Of the soviet local government
idea is extending, especially in the
German cities. Ebert has shown no
inclination to interfere with this
NOV
Whether or not Germany is on the
verge Of breaking up, as Russia has
broken up, It is certain that in local
governmental affairs the tendency of
the authorities in Berlin has been to
let the people do as they liked. The
increasing popularity OF the soviets
is now causing alarm among the Ber-
lin statesmen. The Berlin soviet's
claim to paramount authority through
out the country is an effort to pre-
vent the disruption of the empire. 1t
may even have been prompted by the
Berlin ministerial council for this
purpose.
Whether the soviets are to rule in
Germany or not will be determined

BIRMINGHAM CAN
 AID HORTICULTURE

To the Editor of The Age Herald.
 I want to express to you personally my appreciation of the publicity you have given to extension matter, which has been sent to you by this institution. l am not selfish enough to confine my ap- preciation to what you have done for horticulture, although of course that is the one branch of agriculture in which am most deeply interested
 In this connection, however, I want to call your attention to what I consider to be some very important facts You have heard of the immense developments which have taken place in the various parts of the state-developments which have brought the farmers from poverty to affluence. Probably you had not thought that a similar development is possible in the large territory near Bir- mingham.' I refer to the outlook tor fruit growing in the Birmingham area, particularly the hill and plateau region running northeast from Birmingham to the Georgia line.
 I think I am In position to speak with authority on this particular subject. 1 was reared and educated and spent years of my time after graduation from the West Virginia university in the finest developed fruit region of the east, Vir- ginia and West Virginia, before coming to Alabama two years ago. My conclu- sion is, after seeing the fruit aAd the land in the area above described. that the finest fruit regions of the world pos- sess no greater possibilities than the above mentioned district. There is no reason, in my belief, why thousands Of farmers within 50 to 100 miles of Birming- ham should not be making horticulture their chief occupation and thereby reap maximum rewards for their labors. The Birmingham district will soon contain one million nonproducing people, who should be fed very largely by the prod- ucts of Alabama soil, and any agency, newspaper or other, which assists in thls development will be rendering great public service that will be bound to re- turn a definite reward to the agency t- self. no matter what it may be.
 There will be held at this place Decem- Der Ii and 12 meeting of the Aapama State Horticultural society. On the night of the@11th we will give a horticultural banauet The entire menu being made up of horticultural products. To this meeting and to this banquet extend to you an urgent invitation. If it is not in your power personally to attend, l should appreciate very greatly your hav- ing your great journal represented by someone of your choosing.
 Very sincerely yours,

my opinion as to this condition. In France we have not eliminated any Ger
 man music except the compositions of the living German composers; they are few enough to be sure--who possess any merit, consequently we do not miss them. Beethoven and the others-why should we dismiss them from our pro- grammes? They had nothing to do with this dreadful war. Besides French mu- sicians play Beethoven very well. I re- call that Richard Wagner when he was driven from his country and came to Paris, heard a performance of Beetho- ven's Ninth Symphony by our orches- tra, which he said taught him how Bee thoven should be played. This state- ment he wrote afterward in his The Art of the Conductor. and none was a more excellent authority on orchestral subjects than this Richard Wagner.
 You ask me what Is required to make a musician eligible to membership to
 our Societe?" M. Messager repeated
 This: they -are chosen by competition;
 only men who have gained first prize
 which are held whenever death or other
 causes leave an opening. After a man
 is 60 he must retire; then his place is
 supplied; the conductor also must retire from the baton at 50, but he has the advantage after that of being elected
 and may be reelected every two years There is a wonderful bond of camara-
 darie existing among the members of our organization" M. Messager said, gently and affectionately. NO salaries are re- ceived. The Societe is cooperative and
 at the end of each year the profits are
 divided among the members of the or chestra, when we are at home, I mean. of course. The fraternal feeling in our organization is paramount; indeed it amounts to tradition and tradition meaas much to Frenchman, you know. Our Societe has a long and hon. orable history; we regard ourselves as ar institution. I might express it as a Louvre of Music Thus we do not
 make a practice of giving many new works, although occasionally an untried composition will by it's merit, compel it. self upon us. Our orchestra devotes it. self to the classics whose established merit deserves the most finished per- formance; this is the tradition of the Societe du Conservatoire, and from it proceeds our esprit de corps"

charming Frenchman, "tell me how your orchestra has been affected by the war? Has it taken many of your musicians?"
 "Ah, yes-30 all told were called to
 the colors; two, alas! are dead; the
 leave from military duty in order to maRs our American tour. But now
 the armistice-ah how happy we are; they need not go back again to the Icolors," answered M Messenger in tones of keen, though pensive, sadness, as he alluded to the gaps in his ranks of musicians. &
 A good editor cherIshes his manu- scrips; a good conductor his musicians; and 1t is noticeable that M. Messager
 has this affectionate feeling towards his players.
 What effect has the past four years of war had upon French music?" the dis tinguished conductor repeated my ques- ton after me. Chiefly losses; many of our good musicians have been killed;
 many others incapacitated, but in spite of this, I do not believe that the art of musical composition In France will be greatly altered; what direction French music will take, of course I do not know; music is an individual thing,k a personal expression; a musician expresses his own inspiration and that lies chiefly in his own head; if man has not talent to begin with. the war, let me assure you, will not supply him with any" I had asked M. Messager whether he thought the probable course of events in French music Would take the current of harmonic mpressionism-say that per sonified by Debussy-would this increase or whether it would again become the goal of French genius as it was for such a long and glorious period, to which I received for answer a slight sklr1g of the shoulders, sindicating amia
 bls, tolerant, skeptieism, that we find
 so delicious in the French-quite the op- posite of dogmatic pretension-and vet conveys so much; in the case of M. Mes sager it meant that he didn't care to pose as a prophet so, we turned to his enchant'-namely, .the orchestra. D
