VOLSTEAD ACT
 NOW Is UP TO
 SUPREME COURT
Decision on Wartime Prohibi. tion Measures Expected in
 December.

Washington, Nov. 2i.-The validity of the war time prohibition law and the Volstead act for it's enforcement was put squarely before the supreme court today with the closing of argu. ments attacking and defending both measures. There was no intimation as to when an opinion might be gwen but owing to the importance of the issue, early determination was con- sidered probable.
 After handing down opinions on Monday the court will recess until December s, so 1t is not likely the cases will be decided before thai time. National constitutional pro- hibition becomes effective january Is, and if an opinion is nJt given by that date 1t would make TO difference what the court decided, as the coun- try then would have passed through the war time prohibition period.
 Arguments today were confined en. tirely to the appeal by Jacob Rup- pert, a New York brewer, from dis missal of proceedings brought to pre- vent federal revenue officers from interfering with the manufacture of beer containing more than one half of one per cent alcohol. Elihu Root, counsel for Ruppert, charged prohibit tion advocates in congress with talk ing advantage of the "year of grace" allowed by the constitutional amend ment, and which, he said. came "very near" being contract between the congress and the states, and with having "heckled and harrled" the liq- 1or interests while attempting to shove forward national prohibition a few months under the pretext of the war emergency. Mir. Root also de- plored the granting of unlimited power to the federal government.
 William D. Guthrie, appearing also for Ruppert, asserted the "mere fact that some American troops were still abroad did not expend or increase the powers of congress" and that the act was obsolete, as demobilization had been completed and the war ended.
 Both Solicitor General King and Assistant Attorney General Frier- son made closing statements for the government, in which they denied the contentious of their opponents.

London Newspaper Says That Wilson
 Misread America

London, Nov 21-The Morning Post, in it's comment today, thinks the obvious reason for the senate objecting to the covenant of the league of nations was that there are in America still citizens who have robust faith in their own nation and heartfelt pride in the sovereign freedom of the United States.
 When they found their president bent on transferring their rights and independence and subordnating the United States to committee on which they country must always be in the minority" the newspaper adds Their pride of race and nationhood revolted."
 The Post declares President Will son altogether misread the tempo. and spirit of his own countrymen. Every body kowtowed to him n Paris, where he received such ser- vile adulation from British ministers that his judgment may have been upset" it adds.
 The newspaper concludes it's edi- torlal by denouncing the league or nations as "a system which contains the seeds of national destruction.
 If this was the end we should have occasion for acute dismay," says the Express. With the withdrawal Of America, the league could hay. small chance of survival as a proven tive of war, but We do not believe the idealism which brought America into the war will allow the great repub- lie to leave it's work undone. We re- gret these perilous delays, but still have confidence in America and the treaty"

Russian, Tenor Engaged
BY Cleotonte Can1panini
For Chicago Opera

Word has been received from Cleo
fonte Campanini, general director Of
the Chicago Opera Association, that
ne has engaged Hermann Jadlowker,
the we'll known Russian tenor, who for
three seasons was leading member
of the Metropolitan Opera Company.
M. .Jadlowker is expected to sing the
French roles Of Muratore, besides sew
eral of the Italian operas in which he
became such favorite in New York.
1t is reported that he will make his
Chicago debut with Mary Garden, and
will also create several new parts.
During his engagement with the Met
ropolitan Opera Company Jadlowker
was heard to advantage in such operas
as LA Boheme," "Eohengrin," Faust"
"K6nigskinder," MADAME Butterfly" :"
"Le Dome Curiose," "Lobetanz" and
"Cavalleria Rusticana." Upon his re-
turn to Europe in 1912 Jadlowker sang
in all the principal opera houses in
Europe.
Jadlowker is native Of Riga, Rus
sia. Coming from prosperous COM
mercial family, his parents had planned
for him business career. Not being
commercially inclined, he ran away
from home and went to Vienna, where
he entered the Conservatory Of Music.
He was graduated with high hcnors.
His first engagement was in Cologne
in 1889 The following season he sang
in Stettin, afterward going to Berlin
and Vienna. His success in those
music centres led to his engagement
with the Metropolitan. With the en-
gagement Of Jadlowker Mr.. Campanini
now has a formidable array of tenors
-Bonci, Edward Johnson, Dolci, La
mont and Jadlowker.
Much interest is being manifested in
Chicago music circles regarding the
ballet "Boudour,7' by Felix Borowski,
music critic and composer. Pavley and
Oukrainsky, writer's of the book, will
appear with their own company and
the opera corps de ballet The scenery,

also be responsible for "Le Nave" the
latest work of 1talo Montemezzi, and
"Jacquerie," the opera of Gino Mari
nuzzi, new Italian conductor, who is
now at the Colesio, Buenos Ayres.

Art and Democracy

wrong medium. The truly democratic
art is purely spectacular--the Roman
Gladiatorial show, the American base
ball game. Anything intellectually or
sensuously beautiful to retain it's
meaning or its flavor must be concen-
trated. Art is distillation from the
elements, not something distributed
upon them. Now "AYda" is spectacular.
but its spectacle is only the lowest ele-
ment of its beauty. In it's exquisite
melody, the thousand murmuring voices
of its orchestra, it possesses that
which has raised it to its place among
the great works of the lyric stage. The
spectacle for itself would be stuff for
the Hippodrome. And given as it was
at Sheepshead Bay, this spectacular
quality alone impresses. The loudest
applause came on the appearance Of
the elephant. The crowd was right.
The elephant was real, the music but
vague and tenuous memory.
Racetrack opera is undoubtedly good
for the health, that is except for the
health of the singers, and the social
benefits may also be many. Artistically
it is hopeless. When the Metropolitan
Opera House, which seats little more
than 5000, is really too large for the
finest artistic results, what will we say
for an arena which seats ten times that
number? The theatre is a convention
and a convention requires limits, walls
and a roof and definjta fraroo Whoro
upon some one will thunder at us the
one word Greece" But Greece pos
sessed theatre of an entirely different
type, theatre which was really a pull
pit, and, alas, it possessed different
public! The opera is the opera, COM
promise at best, conventional, unintel-
lectual, emotional. AS long as it is to
mean anything it must be given in the
conditions for which is was written 1t
was written neither for the stadium
nor for the racetrack
