from the Rockies to the Alleghanies
and from the lakes southwark to the
gulf, was urged today by John M.
Parker, of New Orleans, president of
the Mississippi Valley association, at
is first annual convention. He spoke
Of 1.-The new era" unfolding for the
prosperity of the valley.
r. In the past, he said, the valley had
been made tributary to the Atlantic
seaboard, railroad lines of high re-
sistance had been established during
what he called the second period" of
transportation. which had carried the
products of the country from west to
east largely; even the trend of thought
had been educated to an east-and-
west movement. The first period" he
mentioned was that of pioneer water
transportation. OF the third-the
new era"-he said:
This third period involves the use
of Jour waterways in conjunction with
our easy grade rail lines, the efficient
development of our gulf ports, the eff
ficient use of our American merchant
marine and easy access to the worlds
new markets of great promise-Mex-
leo, Central and South America.

More than 560 individual concerts have been arranged to take place in New York between September 15 and June l. This would indicate a healthy condition for concert music at any rate, and opera is always successful Besides a score or more of foreign artists who make their American de but, there are at least fifty more or less well known singers and musi- clans who have returned to America for a renewal of old associations. This group includes Tetrazzini, who made her debut at the HippodrOme last week, Bonci, RGrfo, Destinn and others. Then there is a group of new American singers, American in the sense that their activities have been in this country for several seas ons- Carnegie Hall, Aeolian Hall and a new hall recently opened as the 63rd Street Music Hall, all are filled. Helene Flanders, the soprano whose brilliant Carnegie Hall concert a fort night since was a happy tribute to her artistry, has another coming on next month, and when it was suggested that she might wish to change this date. for another, more than twenty five applications were received for it. Which was quite all right except that she didn't find a chance to get another date and held to her own. Such, however, is the demand for musical dates.

musicians, there may come something creditable after all
 It was announced a short time since that some influential men in New York were seeking to promote a typ ical American Opera Cmopany, with American singers, American works, American conductors and an Ameri- can policy. Two operas from the repertoire of the Metropolitan Opera Company were announced, ''The Leg end" and ''Shanewis'', both by Aneri- can composers and both with the dIs- tinction of successful production a. this opera house. The prina donnas and indeed all singers engaged were to be 100 per cent American, and the entire program, as outlined was distinctly gratifying to those who be- Iieve the time has come when there should be some American support by Americans for Americans. And yet during this entire time we have heard nothing from the musical ar biters of the American Legion. Surely this militant organization is nOt ~e- stricted to idol breaking without of fering us something as good or bet ter. The American Opera Company should be, as it probably will not be, a National institution. They do these things better in Europe. but that should not initiate against our profit ing by their patriotism and acumen.

ton which he felt and his readiness to give was only means of obtaining money from the members of sight seeing parties.
 The scene then changes to Fair hope. a little village in Vermont. Burke had read in the papers of a man in the town who cured people by making them have faith. The Chinatown man forms 8 plan of his own when he finds that the Miracle Man of Fa1rhope is deaf, dumb and almost blind. Tom brings the girl, and two derelicts known as the Frog and the Dope to the village to help him in his scheme. Rosie Is made to pose as the sweet and innoCenct grandniece of the old gentleman. Wis itors who have been cured by the Patriarch propose to leave gifts of money with him, after they have been cured. They believe in the girl and tntrust the money with her. Burke forces her to turn 1t all over to him.
 The gang came to Fairhope to get the money and when 1t was all in their power they found that money was not everything to live for. The won derfuI Miracle Man cured them not of bodily ailments but of their di- seased ideals and their wTetched i'm aginatons. Rosie. the girl who cared for nothing but money and the sham love of Burke found a pure, frank and fine love. The Frog and the Dope to whom life had been but a series oE shots" found staunCh and true man hood. Tom Burke found that Rosie was straight and that to win her must give something else than money and a love that was just for his pleasure he must give the best that was in him. Only the wonderful things which the miracle man did could bring about such a remarkable change. The unique reformation can be explained only by seeing the pie ture.
 The Miracle Man. will be shown at the Park theatre for three days more.

reports from various parts of the United States indicate that the Amer iCan Legion has taken 8 more than passing interest in musical affairs. German opera in New York was pre- vented by their vigorous and drastic opposition, while Newark, N. J., met with a like experience. Louisville was next heard from, and there Fritz Kreisler, the Austrian violinist, met with such strong opposition from the people of that thriving town tn t his concert was cancelled. It was the American Legion that chrytallsed this opposition, as it 0Ic >n several cities where this artist appeared or was about to appear.
 Strictly speaking German music does not or should not some within the scope of activities of this organt- zation unless this opposition cam paign should be placed in the hands of responsible and intelligent leaders It becomes more or less of a farce when Kreisler is welcomed in New ork, Chicago and Boston, and other cities of the first class, only to have him opposed in some of the smaller cities. It cannot be charged that the opposition Is local, because in each instance it is the American Legion that heads the protest and which as sumes to carry out the mandate. Either Kreisler is non persona grata throughout the United States or else he is net judged from the standard of the Am neriCan Legion.
 And percontra, if the American Legion is starting out to purge% the programme of all Teutontc influence, it must amend every orchestra pro gram in the country by the eIimina- ton of German compositions, from Beethoven and Bach down to Straus. And they must go further. They can not destroy one branch of music without aiding in the building of an other. and if they will give the sa me degree of support to American musi- cal art as they are now nnanifesting in opposition to German music and
