Approximately 100 men are employ
ed in construction work now. and
efforts are being made to hire 800 ad-
ditional men on the track and building
work The engine house, with ap-
proximately six miles of track work,
and other buildings in connection with
the care of engines, completion of the
yard track work, and the office build
ings at the yards must be accomplish
ed before the yards are fully complet-
ed Track work in the yards will
consist of laying about five miles of
track, and finishing the grading on the
new hump.
All Of the construction work will be
done by the Austin company, which
has built all OF the buildings now
erected on the new yards, and the
track work will be under the personal
supervision Of Glenn Wolfe, who had
charge Of the entire construction since
it was originally started In 1916 The
| entire cost of finishing the yards will
be approximately 100000.

interlocking system. This, however,
| will probably be installed later in the
year, he said.

Casazza completes the fifteenth year of
his consulship at the Metropolitan Opera
House he will have held the position
longer than any previous mpresario.
Signor Gatti- -Casazza's contract would
have expired next year, but last week
tie board of directors extended it for
three years more. The extension is we'll
deserved, and both the distinguished gen
cral manager and the Metropolitan itself
are to be congratulated.
Signcr Gatt;-Casazza has given dig
nifty to the management Of fhe Mctropol-
itan Opera Company. Since he has con-
trolled its destines there has been no
hint of scandal, condition almost un-
heard of in the opera houses of the world.
His has been an honest, an efficient, and
in many respects progressive admin
stration. He has built up the ensemble
Of the company to a perfection it never
before had reached. It's orchestra, it's
chorus its general staging he has made
most admirable.
At first ne showed tendency to stick
to the old, conventional and out-moded
scene painting beloved by the Mid-Vic-
torians Of all lands, but recently he has
struck out boldly INTO the current and
given US the settings Of Urban, Anisfeld
and others Of the younger generation
His choice Of novelties and revivals
has been, on the whole, excellent, and
everything new that he has given he
las presented in the very best possible
manner. lie has never skimped and
never Stacked. Unpopular works he has
mounted even more lavishly than sure
money-getters. He has believed that
anything worth doing at all is worth do
ing better than it is done anywhere else,
and when once or twice his new produc-
tons have fallen short CT this idec he
has wisely dropped them from the roper
tory. More difficult than all else, he has
kept the company together and in peace
IN the midst of universal war, and ali
those who know the opera singer know
that this is indeed triumph.
Giulio Gatti- -Casazza is a diplomat, a
man Of taste, man OF force and man
OF intellect: he loves opera and he under
stands human nature, and, though he
speaks little English, he understands the
American public. Above all he is q
practical man of the theatre. These arc
rare combinations in any one human
form. They explain Signor Gatti-
Casazza's long service at the Metropoi-

With all our reading of Nietzsche and
Trcitschke and other interpreters of
German philosophy and German thought,
we are still surprised at the wall of in
iured protest from Germany on being
required to restore the machinery stolen
from France and Belgium. There are
100000 men in France alone who will
be unable to resume work until this
property is returned. Yet the Germans
treat the demand as evidence that the
Allies are preparing to "starve Ger
many The To9e6lott. in an indignant
defence OF Germany's right to retain the
stolen property says:
where are justice and humanity
which were to dictate peace? We behold
always force and only force and the
German people, after such great phys-
cal and mental sufferings, are delivered
over to destruction."
Lombrcso, the famous criminologist,
in "The Criminal Man, said:
Amongst the ancient Germans. accord
ing to Tacitus, thcfts perpetrated out
side the boundary Of the tribe were not
considered infamous
And again:
'The ancient Germans encouraged the
youthful portion of the population to
make raids the property OF neighbor
ing peoples so that they should not de-
veiop habits Of ideness"
That makes it easier to understand
the acclaim which greeted the German
soldiers who went staggering home from
France and Belgium burdened with loot.
But it does seem that even the soldiers
of Ariovistus, driven back across the
Rhine by Caesars legions, would not
have had the cffrontery to protest
against the "harshness" of the terms
which forced them to give up their
