William H. Anderson, state superin-
tendent of the Anti-Saloon League, said
yesterday that the league would take a
hand in the action begun by Elihu Root
and William D. Guthrie, in behalf of
the brewers, to test the validity Of the
war prohibition law.
Our national counsel, Wayne B.
Wheeler, will represent us in the SUITS"
said Mr.. Anderson. 81 have been as
sured by Mr.. Guthrie, counsel for the
brewing interests, that the plaintiffs
will not oppose any application by Mr..
Wheeler to file brief as amicus cur@
in either Of the pending suits.
"Elihu Root, leader of the American
bar, is eminent in spite Of, and not be-
cause Of, his connection with the liquor
question.
GAIL the brewers are getting out Of

Revenue Commissioner to construe the

Prohibition Will Boom
Drugs, Says Copeland
Traffic in Cocaine Already
Shows Huge Increase,
He Tells Women

Health Commissioner Royal S. Cope
land addressing the New York Colony
of the National Society of New Eng
land Women, and Mrs. Copeland, ad-
dressing the Daughters Of the Empire
State in an adjoining room at the Wal
dorf yesterday afternoon, predicted in
creased drug traffic under national
prohibition.
"In January, 191e," DR.. Copeland said,
there was more wholesale cocaine
traffic in New York than in the entire
year of 1918.
almost every crime is committed by
a drug addict, but their numbers are
not confined to the lower classes. They
are in every level of society, the bust
ness and professional classes and
among society people. On the East
Side there are many physicians, a dis
grace to their profession, who are Civ
ing prescriptions calling for drugs to
addicts. This drug trade is the only
practice they have, and often they
write out two or three hundred of these
prescriptions a day. The drug stores
fill the prescriptions. One drug store
alone filled prescriptions for 500
ounces in single day."

League Is Started
To Fight German
Music Propaganda

Mrs. William Jay. avowed foe of
German music, made public yesterday
letter from President Arthur Somers,
of the Board of Education, concerning
German music in the city's schools and
announced that she was organizing an
"Anti-German Music League" Mr..
Somers's letter, Mrs. Jay said, was in
answer to one she had sent him in
closing letter signed can American
Mother" protesting because her chill
dren, whose elder brother Germans
had killed, had to sing and learn Ger
man songs in school,
Mr.. Somers wrote that six selections
OF German origin had been approved
for use in public schools. They are:
Schubert's songs: cave Maria"
who is Sylvia?" and clark, Hark the
Lark" Mendelssohn's "Spring Song,"
HandePs messiah" and Beethoven's
"Andante' from the 'Fifth Symphony"
The rejected songs are Schuman's
and "Pilgrim's Chorus" from Tannhau-
ser and Listz's Hungarian Rhapsodie."
Beethoven Work Played in France
According to President Somers, the
decision was left to George H. Gartlan,
assistant director of music, and was
indorsed by the board. The reason ad-
songs, MIR. Gartlan said, was because
they were inspired by English poetry.
In the case of the Beethoven symphony
Mr.. Gartlan called attention to the fact
that this was played in France during
the war. AS for the songs that were
rejected, Mr.. Gartlan said they were
eliminated to "forestall criticism"
"The boards action to my mind is
lamentably weak" said Mrs. Jay. at
have eliminated all the music of Ger
man origin or let it all stand. This is
not fight against German composers.
1t is against German propaganda, and
music is the most powerful weapon it
has. We don't fear German literature
or painting or sculpture''
Mrs. jays "Anti-German Music
League" is to be countrywide organi-
zation to boycott the most "insidious
ganda" until Germany gives the world
some token of her reform and re-
pentance."
Music Most Subtle Propaganda
"The attempt to resume opera at the
|
tempt to give Beethoven concert next
week at the McAlpin by the so-caled
Social Scientific Society of New York,
with a programme printed partly in
German script, simply shows that Ger
man propaganda is now putting forth
it's most insidous and subtle weapon
to save what it can from the wreck"
said Mrs. Jay.
"Those associated with me in fight
ing German propaganda are thoroughly
aroused We realize now that some
thing must be done quickly. The best
way to act is to turn the spotlight of
pitiless publicity against this return
Of German music. Anybody in the
country may join by signing our
pledge"
Mrs. Jay said all who wish to join
the league should send their names
to her address, 81 West Fifty eighth
Street.

old, of Kishineff, Russia, will marry
Jacob Stichbaum, twenty-six years old,
of Buenos Ayres, in the South Ameri-
can metropolis some time in April.
When that occurs the last chapter to
an unusual international romance will
have been spun, and Miss Reutman's
20,O00-mile journey from the far
provinces Of Russia to the arms of her
former school-boy sweetheart will have
reached deserved fruition.
This journey, begun on June 26
1918, extending toward the East by way
of the Trans-Siberian route to Yoka-
homa and the Orient, thence to San
Francisco and across a continent to
New York, will be resumed March %,

Miss Mary Kent Proves Herself
in Song Recital at
Aeolian Hall

Miss Mary Kent, who gave song
recital yesterday afternoon in Aeolian
Hall, is young artist distinctly out
of the ordinary. Amid the waste of
aspiring mediocrity which constitutes
the average recital season it is a re-
lief to meet a new talent so vital as
appeared this young wonians. The war
has metamorphized the world, and
among its metamorphoses has been
that of Miss Marie Won Essen into
Miss Mary Kent. Miss Won Essen An.
peared once with the Society of Amer
lean Singers and at that time showed
a strong operate bent; now Miss Kent
SHOWS talent no less veritable in the
world of song recital
MISS Kent Is a mezzo-soprano whose
range might permit her to enter the
contralto ranks. Her voice is a beau
tiful one, of sufficient volume, and in
the upper register of a peculiarly fas-
clnating quality, voice, in short,
which is distinctly personal More
over, she is already an artist She
mas keen feeling for nuance, she
knows how 20 color her tone, she
knows the value of a smooth legato,
anu sie iIdS q rare command or meZZO-
voce. Those who heard her sing the
two songs of Wolf-Ferrari and Four
drains "Fleurs de Paravent" realized
this, and in Gcorges's difficult "Hymne
au Soliel' she proved that she has
temperament and power.
In two new songs of Carl Deis-and
excellent songs they were, too-she
again. proved her delicacy of feeling,
and in Richard Hageman's charming
The Cunnin' Little Thing" which the
audience forced her to repeat, her
humor 1t is indeed rare to find a
young singer with the combination of
voice, temperament, variety of mood,
taste and intelligence such as is DOS
sessed by Miss Kent. And, moreover,
she is good to look upon. Richard
Hageman furnished her with sympa-
thetic accompaniments and Mr.. Deis
accompanied her in his own songs.
