and that II probably would be found
that some OF the soldiers now confined
here under severe sentences were found
guilty merely because they were absent
from roll call on the evening of the riot.
In addition the resolution asks what
steps the War Department is taking or
has taken toward determining the JUS
tice of the severe penalty inflicted upon
the former soldiers.
Mr. Anthony. 1t is said, discussed the
matter with Secretary of War Weeks
and urged an investigation in the cases
with a view to clemency. The Con-
gressman also told Secretary Weeks
that the conduct OF these soldiers since
their Incarceration in the Leavenworth
penal institution under life sentence had
with one or two exceptions been model
and that on several occasions. when the
good order OF the penitentiary was seri-
ousiy threatened BY riots and disturb
ances by the /. w. w. and other unruly
inmates, the former soldiers had in
every instance rallied to the aid of the
officers In maintaining discipline.
Youngbloods statement undoubtedly is
based principally on his own personal
experience. augmented by his contao.
with other military prisoners. Young

OPERA SYNOPSES. BY J. Walker Nc
Spadden. Thomas Y. Crowell Com
pany.
.HIS Is the third edition of
opera synopses." The first
was published in 1911, the sec
ond in 1915, containing in all eighty
eight operas. and in this edition we
have the plots OF over one hundred
and forty operas. The matter is re-
arranged in a more pleasing style.
A reader can follow the work of
each composer, for the book is ar
ranged by composer instead of opera.
So in each chapter will be found first
a biographical note, followed by char
acters and the plot. In this manner
sixty-six composers are discussed. The
book cannot he said to be a com
plete" work, for the operas which are
not often heard arc not included. The
aim of the author was to give readers
a practical handbook of usable mate
rial, and thfs he has accomplished. In
the index in the back of the book COM
posers and operas are arranged alpha
betically.
