he generally agreed by musical
authorities that the Indians songs
have in them nothing borrowed from
instruments, nothing OF artificial in

no instance, 1t appears. where tho
people have followed our custom OF
singing the different stanzas OF
ballad to the same mir.
A large proportion OF Indian songs
are entirely without words at all

recognized by the public, which liked
it's favorites In even the days that
were considered to be always palmy,
in the roles that, were suited to their
physical and mental peculiarities.
And in this defence Of the practice
there lies an important truth. II was
the public that discovered the merit
of fitting the actor TO the part. 1t
was not indeet the actor nor the man
ager. That is taken to mean that the
public always will want TO see the part
and the actor perfectly suited 20 one
another. The manager, as is well
known, needs only hint from the
public to follow II assiduously. It Is
not certain what brought the fashion
OF type casting" to its present preva-
lence. Maybe the actors grew less
skilful and less able TO make the skill
in delineation compensate for the real
physical unsuitableness. Maybe the
public showed too plainly Its decided
preference for the type over the skill
of the actor. This was. Of course, likely
to be most emphatically indicated In

of their devotion to the principle of
having the person look the part may
have been the managers have with
out an exception taken It as a working
principle of their business. So gen.
orally indeed has this been adopted
that any woman seon playing a role
which is entirely too young for her
or more beautiful than she could pos
sibly be or otherwise entirely opposed
to what she physically represents may
be taken as owning an interest in the
show. In any case the judgment Of

emphasis in a series OF plays. There
never were so many youthful heroines
to be seen in Broadway theatres as
there are to-day. It is doubtful il the
age limit Of leading ladies' was ever so
low. Nothing seems to be quite as in
dispensable to the manager as the
quality of youth. One girl acting in a

On the other hand, have not been
able to find any evidence that the Ger
man people recognize that Germany
was responsible for the war or that the
methods employed in its conduct were
morally wrong. Their preoccupation
at the present time is to escape as
lightly as possible from the conse-
quences OF the mistakes which they

The danger is that delay in the settle

struction to Germany, and her authori-
ties know II. but IT would also impose
great burden upon us and delay in

The Truth About Food.
The two most disturbing factors in
Germany to-day, apart from general
war WEAKNESS and that unrest which
has been the aftermath of war in al
most every country of Europe, are
shortage of raw materials and of food.
There is a great deal OF unemployment
because the factories have not the

minish unemployment large numbers
Of soldiers are kept in uniform hanging
round the barracks, doing little or no

HE reports which we have re
ceived as to the condition OF
Germany are very contradic-
tory. We have been told that food
there Is plentiful that 1t is possible to
get as good meals at most OF the big
hotels as are to be had in many parts
OF France and at a cheaper rate; we
have been. told that Germany is starv-
ing; we have been told that the Ger
man army Is still strong and could be
very rapidly expanded to a strength
greater than that which the allied as
ISOLATED Powers are maintaining on
the western front: we have been told
that Germany Is milltarIly impotent;
we have been told that Germany is on
the verge of a reaction and that a re-
turn OF the old regime in one form or
another Is imminent; we have been
told that the Kaiser and the militarist
party are utterly dlscredited.
