Verdi has been the innocent victim
Of much profound comment The
strange workings of that mysterious
force called genius have always ex-
cited the lveliest curiosity. What are
those Intangible vital waves which,
proceeding from the inIDenetrable re-
cesses OF human brain, set worlds
in vibration? How does a composer
compose? Whence come the sudden
visions Of melody. the vast and i'm
posing conceptions OF harmonic COM
bInations, the blazing imaginations Of
instrumental color?
verdi's styles and Manners.
No human pen has yet been able to
record that story. But still we all wish
10 know. and when some learned pun
dit tells US that Beethoven had three
styles, each corresponding to a chap
ter in his spiritual history. we cry
aha! we are getting on the track"
The same confusing tale has been
told about Verdi. and after the telling
We are just as much mystified as we
we're before. Verdi was pasha of
three styles, too. First came his first
style and second came his second style
and finally came his third and last
style!
All OF which Is the most amazing
nonsense, particularly to those who
value style as style. Verdi certainly
mad more than two styles, though he
had various manners or variations.
II Trovatore" and LA Traviata" be-
long to the same period and are writ
ten in the same style, but the manners
are far apart. The master found a
distinctly different melodic investiturs
for La Traviata," while the story of
the bemuddled brothers is told in ner-
vously energetic. Strenuous. blatant
music in which bathos strangely
mingles with wsakling whines and
angry buster.
The embodiment of the passions of
la Traviata" never once strikes the
p.argent Tyre. All is softened, tinged
with a gentle and seven interpretive
melancholy, a tender grace and senti-
ment. Occasionally, as in "Addio del
passato," the melodic expression rises
10 poignancy., We may quarrel as we
please with the cast iron formule Of
the Neapolitan opera and the cut and
dried scheme OF arias and duets, but
as to the fitness of Verdi's music and
its individuality Of manner in this work
there can be no question.
Protesting to find a complete revolu-
ton in the composers nature when he
fashioned Aida" commentators have
been pretty hard put to IL to demon
strate Just wherein it consisted. The
master threw nothing Of the old APP
paratus overheard, except the ele-
nentary dance forms which had been
the basis of Italian opera numbers ever
since Cavalli taught the Italians that
in the hands Of men entirely operate
Rhythm was mightier than recitative.

ONFIsChT|ON IF SAVINGS ACCOUNTS
 |s \ GERMAN LIE
lNSlDlOUs HUN PROPAGANDA Is SPREAD TO HINDER FOURTH
 LIBERTY LOAN.
HUNDRED AT MANY PLACES
Enemy Victory the Only Thing That Could Take Away American
 Property.

Federal authorities are calling at tention to pro-German rumor that has been in circulation for some weeks that the Government, or some other body unnamed, Is to seize all savings banks deposits for war purposes. Of course this is nothing more nor less than pro-German lie stated by some kaiserite or some weak-kneed and weak-brained American who might as well have been in the Kaisers pay
 It Is difficult to believe that any sane person in America would believe such report for minute. However, 1t is reported at Washington that 1t is being believed by a few easily fooled per. sons. Secretary of the Treasury Nc Adoo says that the foolishness of these rumors Is plain, but in order to set at rest the fears of few who might be worried he states officially that these rumors are without any basis of fact: in brief they are plain lies put out to hinder the Fourth Liberty Loan.
 If Germany Should Win.
 There is only one thing that will en danger the bank deposits of America There is only one way in which they might be confiscated. That one thing is a German victory. If the Hune could defeat us and the French, Brit ish and Italians in Europe and invade this country, then there is but little doubt that savings accounts, stocks bonds, jewelry, gold, real estate and everything in the way of property would be conflscated.
 The one thing that will take away ownership in private property in this country Is to let the Germans win the war, either by actual rec of arms ol through the failure of Americans te support the war al they should by buy ing Liberty Bonds or paying taxes.
 It is foolish to fear that our owr Government is going to damage the people of this country-its own people With the American armies fighting a. well as they are now on the soil o France, and the American people from coast to coast supporting the army a! they now are and have been through our first years of the war, the Amert can savings accounts, money, bonds farms and c-ctories are safe.
 Hun Propaganda!
 Federal officials point out that 1t il Germany and its footing hordes tha the American savings bank depositol has to fear and not our own armies that are fighting to protect American soil, American property and American lives. In the statement received here from the U s. Treasury Departmen this statement is made:
 "The United States instead of con fiscating or endangering the saving and other property of its people is de lending them and theirs with all thu irresistible might of this invincible Re public"
 It has not been possible to trace thu rumor relating to the confscation O savings accounts to its source, bu from the fact that it appeared n wide ly separated parts of the country a about the same time 1t is evident tha some pro-German agency had busied it self with spreading the story in th' hope that it might hurt the success O. the Fourth Liberty Loon.

Christmas Buying

The Council of National De tense has voted that the language Of it's statement of Aug %, which said that merchants 'are not to increase their working force by reason of the holiday business over the average force employed by them throughout the year, is defined more definitely as fol- lows
 It was agreed that the pro Louncement be changed to the extent of allowing the merchants to employ force during Novem Der and Decem Der not in exces of the number employed at any time during November 1917, in case that number is in excess of the average fierce employed throughout the year.
 The term normal working hoursa as used in the agreement between the National Council and representatives of business in. terests regarding Christmas buying means normal hours throughout the year and not dur. ing previous Christmas seasons. The National Chamber of Com merce has already on it's own initiative adopted this construc- tion.
 The thiugs to be emphasized are: Buy only useful gifts: buy early; send early; don't burden local delivery systems.
 Bulky articles should not be sent by express, freight or mail under any circum stances.
 Several state councils have by resolution set Dec. ,. as the date after which no Christmas gifts should be mailed or expressed.
 The imminence of peace does not lessen the necessity for not congesting the avenues of trans portation.
