first native operas Of that region.
Two musical dramas by the Georgi-
an composer N. Palishvili scored
considerable success, while the Ar
menian composer N. Spenderyantz
is working toward the creation of
a national form. New Turkish operas
have been performed in Baku, while
in the Ukraine the native composers
Yanovsky and Zolotaryev are work
ing on national themes.
The era of peace and reconstruc-
ton following the civil war permit
ted the successful development of
new concert music, reflecting the
new social order. N. Myaskovsky
has composed three symphonies of
high order. Myaskovsky is a must
cal descendant of Glazunov. His
Sixth Symphony has marked revolu-
tionary passages; while his Eighth
Symphony has passages based on
oriental melodies. The influence of
the eastern sections Of the Soviet
Union is. also felt in the compost
tions of Gliere, who has developed
Turkoman melodies - more re-
Gently prepared r. with Chi
nege musical themes. The Jewish
composer, Alexander Krein, has
composed a symphony remarkable
for its wealth of melody and har-
mony, while Mikhail Gnessin, another
Jewish composer, has written num-
Der of sketches paying tribute to
those who persisted in the cause of
the Revolution. The compositions of
N. A. Rolavets attempt to express
the collective will Of the people by
organizing tonal elements independ-
ent of emotional significance.
Among the new composers who
are influenced by the neo-romanti-
cism of Metner are Anatole Alex
ander; while the influences of Scri-
abin and modern western expression
ism are discernible in the compost
tons of Polovinkin, Shrinsky, Pro-
topopov, Knipper, Kryukov, Mosolov
and Shebalin. The traditions of Ra-
vel and Debussy mixed with strong
oriental influences, are continued by
Gregory Krein.
A group of excellent Leningrad
composers, educated in the tradi-
tons of Rimsky-K orsakeff, Mus
sorgsky, Borodin and Glazunov, has
produced the neoLclassic composer
of Symphonies sShestakovitch and
the extreme modernist Shcherbachov.
A moderate style characterizes the
compositions of Steinberg and Weis-
berg. One of the few who still COM
pose for the organ is Kushnarev,
who, calls himself polyphonist;
while Dyeshovy has made some dar-
ing experiments in the opera and
ballet.
Several older composers who
have become world famous still re-
side in the Soviet Union but are no
longer creating. Chief of these is
Giazunov, who devotes himself chief
ly to teaching, and Ippolit-Ivanov,
the composer of Caucasian Sketch !
es," who lives in Moscow.

| GREAT BRITAIN PREPARING
 TO TAKE ITS NEXT CENSUS

LDNDDN.--British census officials are. already marshaling their forces : forsfhe taking of Great Britain's next census in 1881.
 aAccording to an official of the Reg istrar- Generals department at Som- ersef1 House, where the records are kept, the figures are expected to show : a aannrked increase over those for 1921, when the last census was taken.
 '::..The census was first taken in 1891 ! when the figure was 8,893, ,0O0," i-he said. "In 1921 the population was 37 ,E7 ,00O. The last general census showed that there were 95 more fe- : males to males per thousand, com pared with 57 in 1801..'
 Feminists are particularly interest ed in getting the new figures showing the prcportion of females to males in the present population. They expect the preponderance of women over men which loomed so large just after the war, to have been greatly reduced by the increased number of males over females shown in the postwar birth rates.
 Hereafter the British census will in all probability be taken every five years, instead of every ten years, as has been the custom. The cost of the last census was s1,755.00O.

MOTORSHIP SILVER WAVE
 FORCED HER WAY THROUGH
 HEAY STORMS TO SEATTLE

SEATTLE.-Leaking badly and with her pumps barely able to take care of the inflow, the little -32-ton motorship Silver Wave, of the Arctic Transport Company,.the last vessel of the year from the Boring Sea-. arrived at Seattle Sunday, after.a voyage of B days from Nome
 Gales and snowstorms beset her from the time she sailed. She went ashore December five miles south of Watson Rock in Greenville channel. She struck at night in a snow storm and was so badly damaged that she had to be beached three times for re- pairs en route to Seattle.
 The Silver Wave was also forced to seek shelter three days in King Cove. Leaving Seward she was forced to turn back after battling a southeast gale for many hours. Captain Charles Strand, master of the Silver Wave, declared: "We fought gales and snow storms all he way from Nome. It was one continual blow. Some times the wind reached a velocity f 90 miles an hour. We learned at Seward that we had been in the same storm that swallowed up the Seattle halibuters Brunvold and Imperial

ADDITIONAL. RESTRICTIONS
 PLACED ON SALMON FISHING

WASHINGTON. - Additional re- strictions were placed by the Depart ment of Commerce on salmon fishing in Alaskan waters on January 1. The new regulations are designed, the De- partment announced, "to decrease the catch in a few areas where it is be- lieved the intensity of fishing has been too great" to allow the main tenance of salmon breeding stock.
 Approximately 95 salmon traps which operated in 1928 will be closed down during the 1929 season under the new regulations. The use of traps has been forbidden in the waters of Cook Inlet; Kodiak, Chignik and Alaska Peninsula waters.

ALASKA PROSPEROUS, SAYS GOV. PARKS IN ANNUAL RE.
 PORT TO THE INFERIOR DEPT

Tn VlGW ot an unerpected uecllHe in the production. of the salmon fish cries, the industrial conditions and economic situation in Alaska were in general as satisfactory as could be expected during the year which closed June 30, 1928," declared Governor George A. Parks in his annual report to the Interior Department.
 In his introduction to the report, in which there is am excellent summar- ization of local conditions, the Gov ernor said, in part:
 "The revenues derived :: from the major industries declined, but the cap ital investment and number of per- sons employed in thess increased.
 s1The balance in the Territorial treasury at the close of business on December a1 : 1927, was &772,0 2,0a8. .ba; this is the largest closing balance for any year within the Last decade, trea- sury receipts from all sources erceed- ing expenditures by m0re. than Sl50, 900.
 "The Territoriat and national banks in the Territory show eDnabined re sources as followss Capital sS915 ,000; surplus and undivided profits, s$820,- 250; deposits, $12,196, ,500;- as com- pared with the following figures for the previous year: Capital, S840,000; surplus and undivided profits, $687,- 500; deposits, SIP, ,130, ,000."
 Fishing and Mining.
 The importance of prosperity in the fishing and minin gindustries' 'are stressed by the Governor in a ,signifi- cant paragraph in which he declared:
 "The principal industries in Alaska, if classified according So capital ip- vestment and value of products, are fishing and mining. Consequently, when there is decline in the quan- tity of the productions of the fisheries or in the value of the mineral output it is reflected in the economic condi- tion in the fishing or mining districts. The statistiis for the fiscal year which ended June 30, 1928, show that there was an unusual decline in the output of both of these industries and the effect was apparent nas1narly every section of the Territory
 "The customs records disclose de- cline of S26,O55,973 in the shipments from Alaska to the United States, and an increase of $f ,:s32, ,554 in the value of shipments to the Territory. The total commerce, foreign and do- mestic, is valued at $S7,357,517, this is S24,723,419, or 22.0S per cent less than that of 1927, which amounted to $112,O0O,0OO. Nevertheless the bal ance of trade insfav0r ofsAlaska was $2O, ,566, ,6O5. The exports were val ued at $53,962 ,061, as compared with SsO,0lS,O134 for f927, while the im- ports were reported to beSS$$33, ,395 ,456 in 1928 and $332, ,062, SOP iii 1927.
