To this unchallenged record Lieut.. Com mander Sousa this season will add a tour which includes the principal cities of Canada. Mexico, Cuba and the United States. Much pressurS has been brought to bear upon the great bandmaster to include num- Der of South American capitals, but his list of engagements Is already too long to be extended this season.
 No American musician and few of the great musical conductors of the Old World have had so many pro- fessional ana national honors con- ferred on them as have been be- slowed upon Lieut.. Commander John Philip Sousa, both here and abroad. He received from King Edward VII, the medal of the Victorian order, pinned on his breast by the then Prince of Wales, now King George. The French government has given him the Palms Of the Academy and the Rosette of Public Instructor; he has the medal of the Fine Arts Acad- erny of Hainau, Belgium, and other gifts by institutions and individuals The march king" appeared by com mand before King Edward at Sand ringham and at Windsor.
 The hiStor c tour of the world made by Sousa's band ten years ago stands alone in the annals of concert giv- ing. It included the principal cities and towns If Europe Africa, Aus- tralia, Tasmania and New Zealand the Fiji islands and Honolulu.

 ably the youngest of the great oper- atic singers of the day.
 He comes from Valparaiso, Chile, where he quietly studied for a num- bsr of years with Maestro Querze, who for many years taught in Italy. His original intention was to practice law, but his interest in music was justified by the discovery that he pos sessed a baritone voice of extraordi- nary sweetness and power. He was offered an early operatic debut in the United States, but chose rather to continue his studies until he could appear as a finished dramatic singer. It was the more remarkable in this instance from the persistent refusal Of the artist to appear in the United States until he was satisfied that his training had been carried to degree which would insure his acceptability.
 F1s kept steadfastly in the back ground until all was ready, and then stepped into immediate action. His debut was made with the Metropolis tan opera company in New York.

Will they know you true and kind,
The stranger girls you find

Where the worlds roads wind:
But l can only strive to build you

Before your path leads far from me and

And world dances wbirli

And greet the careless hour
When love shall take your willing hand
and show the world in flower
Will the man you love that day
Keep you safe and glad and gay

Down the old, new way?

Before you pass too far to heed my love
