r,,r.DEATH OF DEBUssY

From the New York Tribune
Claude Debussy is dead. The greatest
artistic revolutionary since Richard
Wagner has passed into the Pantheon OIL
music, where he rests at last in the mys-
tic silence he so loved on earth. For
nearly a decade he had practically passed
from the active musical arena. lie
world had been told that he was at WORK
on a Tristan and on two short operas
founded on Edgar Poes the Fall OF the
House OF Usher and THE Devil in the
Relfry." but it is doubtful whether these
works were ever finished, indeed if they
were ever begun.
For years he had suffered from an in
durable disease and he had been con-
tent to rest on the laurels he had won in
youth His "Pelleas ct Mallsande," his
"L'Apres-MidI dun Faune," his songs,
had long been a part Of the worlds md
steal heritage. These works had made
him already a classic. alien though their
spirit may be to the vast majority of men
and women.
Debussy was perhaps greatest not in
the compositions he produced, but in the
new roads he opened in music. His en-
ployment of the whole tone scale made
possible subtle shadngs which no COM
poser before him had approached. His
imitators have been legion. None OF
them has equalled him, for none of them
possessed his genius, but the vistas which
he opened will widen the field forfeiture
generations. His own art was static, UNI
EXPANSIVE to many even decadent. He
had dedicated himself 70 the expression
Of the subcons cious, to the eyocation Of
those whisperings of the spirit which
are rarely recognized by men of action.
Therefore he was unwelcome to a world
devoted primarily to material advance
ment
He has passed beyond in the midst OF
a turmoil which must cruelty have af-
flicted his soul. The hammer of Thor he
detested. Never was there a spirit less
warlikc, less tuned to brutality. 1t was
not for him to write a new 'Marseii-
tenderly than he. but it was not the
France OF Napoleon or of the revolution.
All his life he had worshipped. in the
shrine of revery, beauty which
Stunned the harsh light of fact. In the
future stronger spirits will traverse tho
ways he opened to an art more radiant.

City Responds
to a Popular Demand

m HE city commission is to be COM
q mended for its action in adopt
ling plans for building a summer
amphitheatre in Capitol park to act
commodate the crowds that will gather
on Sunday afternoons to participate
in the community "sings" The archi-
tect's design has been drawn in ac-
cordance with the ideas outlined by
Community Director Robert Lawrence,
and while the building will be com
paratively inexpensive it will have a
seating capacity of seven or eight
thousand and will prove adequate for
jail community gatherings until Bir-
mingham is able to provide hand
some auditorium.
The city administration is forced to
practice rigid economy now, and so
lit will be until the legislature makes
relief possible. But since community
music had come to be recognized as
a public necessity it was as little as
the commission could do to respond
to popular demand and supply the
people who participate in these Gull
tural afafirs with comfortable seats.
AS the first "sing" in the park this
season will take place on April 81,
the commission will be expected to
speed up the construction of the
Iamphitheatre. Even if carpenters can
be found in goodly numbers, month
Tor more may be required for complet-
ling the work. But if start is made
now and progress is rapid the people
will not become impatient, even
though a majority of them have to
stand, as they have done heretofore,
during the concerts the,first few Sun
days.
The great fact is that we are to
have an amphitheatre before long. 1t
lis enough to make community singers
Irejoice.

The transportation situation as it is

ing things get hold of him, and when
he was stricken, he was full of plans
for having vegetable garden and a

homewards in the afternoon to get to
work.

Every Home Should
Be Well Screened

7NHIS is fly time and the disease
u carriers are matching out" by
the millions. Every dwelling place
and every meat and green grocery
store should be screened.
Houses that have been only partial
| ly screened should be fully protected
by wire netting, and screens that
have little rust holes in them should
be replaced by new screens.
The fly may look lazy, but he is
far from it. Few creatures sent by
the Creator to plague us are more
enterprising. Flies prefer indoor life
/ to outdoor and if there is any way
to slip through they lose no time in
finding out about it.
Everybody knows that the lily is
La deadly enemy of mankind; that
grown people as well. as infants are
poisoned by the pests; yet many
householders, especially among the
poor, are Indifferent to the danger
they run in letting flies swarm in the
kitchen or wherever the family meal
is spread.
But no one is too poor to be cx-
cused for not taking precautions
against the fly. Screen material does
not come very high, but suppose it
were more expensive than it is, better
deny oneself some of the comforts
rather than not provide against the
| fly menace.
And no matter how we'll screened
you may be, don't forget to swat.

Menace of "Kultur''
Through the Ages

Every village they have passed
through has been the victim OF
what is only organized pillage.
Every city has been practically
sacked, ransacked on system; its
citizens plundered, it's civil officials
terrorized, Imprisoned, outraged or
killed. The civil populations have
been, contrary to the usage OF
modern warfare, forced to serve
the invading armies. brutally put
to death, reduced to wholesale
starvation, and desolation. Vast
tracts of the richest and most in
eustrious districts of Europe have
been deliberately stripped and
plunged into famine, solely in or
der that the invaders might make
war cheaply. Irregular troops, con-
trary to all the practice of war,
have been Systematically murdered
and civil populations indiscrimin-
ately massacred, solely to spread
terror. A regular system of in
genious terrorism has been direct
ed against civilians, as horrible as
anything in the history of civil or
religious wars. Large and popu1ous
cities have been, not once, but 20,
80, 40 times, bombarded and
burned. and the women and chill
dren in them wantonly slaught-
cred, with the sole object of in
