LONDON, Dec. 28.—Arnold nett, appealing in the Daily News for a clear statement of the war ainis of Great Britain and her allies, there are three reasons why they should be off®ially and plainly stated: 1. That the thought of the world Ben- Sarvs may dwell upon them and so edu- cate itself as to the best means of carrving them out; » That the great mass of the British public, already suspicious, may be convinced that their rulers are not sending men into the field ior imperialistic ends or aggrandize- ment and dominion, and, 3. To show the German that the war aims of the allies are irspired solely by principles of or- ‘dinary honesty and justice and that Germany has nothing to fear from their realization. bennett says it cannot be too often repeated that that which the allies are fighting for a revolution in Germany, and that they ought to neglect no means to this end. Noth- ing. he argues, except a tremendous allied victory is so likely to produce a split between the ruled and the rulers in Germany as a. plain, straight-forward, solemn statement by the allies of their war aims, pro- is vided these aims are based on hon- esty and unselfishness.

T is one of the ironies of music | thet Handel's oratorio, “The Messiah,’ should have become crowned with a pietistic halo beyond, all other compositions, that it should | by universal custom have been ap- | ‘propriated to the Christmas season, and that one of its numbers, the fa-, mous ‘‘Hallelujah Chorus,” is the only one in musical literature to which all audiences pay the rever- ence of standing during its perform- | ance. | For Handel was a man so secular. in temper that one commentator has | ‘called him “an eighteenth century, pagan.” There was a gulf set be- | tween him and such truly devout composers as Bach and Palestrina. It was a matter of opportunism which caused him to turn from.opera +to oratorio. For 20 years he had la- bored titanically to establish Italian opera in London, only to end in bank- ruptcy. The puritanical Britons would have none of his Italian heroes and | heroines. So he determined on the) expedient of making them swallow | ‘the same kind of music with the dif- | ference that biblical were substituted | for mythological and romantic char- | | ‘acters. He succeeded beyond his wild-| ‘est expectations. | “The Messiah” is built on the mod- | ‘el of the crystalized Italian opera of | \the day, in which the tyranny of male | eee SOSSSISS OPEN TILL 6:30 SATURDAY XDOODOOOOOOOOL | the types and forms of solo music, -—~ (OKO OK eK ONO Ke (ons rc 2 Handsome new Blouses, Lowest Prices Our Chief Attraction.

There was the ‘aria di portamento, represented in “The Messiah” by the air, “I know that my Redeemer liveth;” the aria di mezzo carratere, declamatory in, ‘character, of which “He was* de- spised’’ is an example; and the aria di bravura or agilita, as for instance. ‘Rejoice greatly, O daughter of _Zion.”’ The chief difference made by Handel in opera and oratorio was the prominence given in the latter to the chorus. Soloists Aptly Selected. According to its habit during four seasons of presenting “The Messiah’’ during Christmas week, the Pageant |Frederick Fischer and with the co-, operation of a large section of the! Symphony Orchestra, gave the work | at the Odeon last night. It was the | very best performance this big club ever given, and the audience was the largest and most responsive attend- ‘ing an oratorio here in many years. | The soloists were aptly chosen—Miss ‘Grace Kerns, soprano; Mrs. Merle) ‘tenor, and Charles FE. Galagher, bass, it is almost unnecessary to say of |! the club that it sang with enthusiasm, with imposing volume and with! fresh tonal quality. What was note- worthy was its improvement in vir-| tuosity, as shown in such a brilliant fugal chorus as ‘He shall purify,”’ with its. requirement of a highly flu-| ent vocal delivery; and also in the ‘equally difficult counterpoint of the chorus, “‘His Yoke Is Easy,’ which closes the first part of the work. Such an overwhelming mass of glori- | ous sound as thundered forth in the “Hallelujah Chorus’’—with its com- bination of orchestra, organ and chorus—-could be heard nowhere ‘else in the city save at the concerts of this organization. Murphy, whose voice at: its best is Very stirring indeed, sang the florid tenor aria, “Every valley shall be ex- alted,’’ with flexible technique and artistic scrupulousness; but was rath- er less happy in “Thou shalt break him.” A cold made it difficult for Galagher to live up to the standards set in his previous appearances here. and his earlier numbers were sung under strain; but at the end the great | tour de force, “‘Why do the nations. so furiously rage?’’ was sung rous- ingly, although Director Fischer took it at such high speed that the usual] slow-moving bass voice could not have kept up.

In the account of “The Messiah” printed in the program, there was an error which should not pass un- | corrected. “At 75,” it was stated, | “Handel, stone blind, but with in- ward vision aflame, set out for Dublin with 100 musicians to pre- sent for the first time ‘The Mes-. siah.’ "’ Now, Handel died at the, age of 74, and in 1742, the date of the Dublin performance, he was 57 years old.

Ferguson 25 ee ee et tt eee - ON at - apn a For a Fair Street Railway Settlement Every Fair Demand Is Met in the Pending: Bill Criticism of the pending settlement ordinance— except that of a few men who wish to bankrupt the system and break up the all-city service—has simmered down to these demands: ‘“1__A fair appraisal of the value of the United Rail- ways system as a basis for Company profits. “2_The limiting of the profits of the Company to a fair return on this appraised value. “‘3—The application of all the surplus above this rea- sonable return on the appraised capital value to improved service or, if earnings justify it, to reduced fares. ‘“‘4 Municipal control of service. “5 The City’s right of purchase at an appraised value.”’ So far as State law permits, the pending ordinance drafted by your City Government after many months of thorough investiga- tion and discussion meets all of the above demands. Thus: 1—The City’s consulting engineer and valuation expert HAS MADE AN Av’- PRAISAL for the City of the capital value of United Railways property. He has appraised its purchase value at $60,000,000, or $17,000,- 000 less than our own engineer's appraisal. 2—-The pending bill enables the City to limit the Company's share of earnings, for bond interest and dividends, to 6° on the $60,000,000 appraised value. State Commissions recognize that street railways should earn 8% on capital valuc, to maintain good credit and be able to give good service keeping pace with City growth. Your City Government has ap- praised our property at $60,000,000 for pos- sible purchase and for an enforced reorgani- zation to get rid of the so-called “water” in our securities. But by limiting us to 6% on $60,000,000 the City establishes in the pend- ing bill an EARNING value of only $45,000.- 000, at the necessary 8°) State regulation rate. There isn’t a chance that the State Public Service Commission or any other com- petent authority -would appraise our capital value as low as $45,000,000. The City’s valu- ation expert admits that an INVENTORY VALUATION to-day would show a capital value much larger than $60,000,000. _ Your City Government in the pend- ing bill has taken advantage of this Company's Summed up, the bill gives the City these powers it now lacks: urgent need for a settlement that would avert bankruptcy and save our stockholders from unjust loss of their equity in the property. The City has driven a shrewd, hard bargain— a bargain as hard as our security holders could accept. 3—-The bill provides, through the Board of Control which it creates, a means by which the City Government can apply to serv- ice extensions and betterments every doar of street railway earnings over 6% on the ap- praised capital value. The power to regulate service and to raise or lower car fares is lodged by State law exclusivelv in the Missouri Public Service Commission. It was lodged there by the de- liberate act of the peonple’s law-makers, upon the demand of these St. Leuvisans: whe now want this power exercised by the City Govern- ment, from which they helped take it. 4—Municinal control of service is impossible except with the consent of the State Commission, which the people of Mis- souri, including the people of St. Louis, created to exercise this control. The pending bill pro- vides that the City Government shah resume such control, if the State Cemmission will consent. a9—The pending bill gives the City the right of purchase—which the City now does not possess—AT THE APPRAISED VALUE ALREADY ESTABLISHED BY THE CITY'S OWN VALUATION EXPERT. 1—Power to buy the street railways at its own ap- praised value, $17,000,000 lower than ours, and at least $20,000,000 lower than cost of reproducing the property to-day. 2—Power to enforce use of every dollar of earnings, over 6% on the appraised value, for service extensions and betterments. 3—Power to control kind and quantity of service, if your State Public Service Commission will consent that it shall do so. The bill gives the Company: 1—An undisputed official than our disputed permits now run. permit for a term no longer 2—Reduction of taxes averaging $75,000 a year for 31 years. We have already given this to our employes in higher wages. 3—A credit basis indispensable to any betterment of service or further increase of wages. Every day of delay in making a settlement post- pones better serviee and better wages, and increases the risk that hundreds of St. Louis stockholders may lose their equity in the property. Nobody, except possibly one or two agitators who hope to ride into office across a bankrupted and disrupted street railway Ssys- "tem, has anything to gain by further delay in enacting the bill. _ The United Railways Company fo me Louis Our Remade make your old shoes into new.

I arrived in your city this morning and was confronted with several Red Cross workers at the station; as I passed by 10th and Locust I saw some hundred ladies busy at sewing machines making bandages; in the hotel lobbies earnest workers are soliciting for the supreme Red Cross drive. All of this, I say, smacked of patriotism of the right kind, and makes one glad he is an American. Imagine my surprise, therefore, when I stepped into a small restaurant on Olive street for a cup of coffee and some rolls, to find that they were serving wheat in every conceivable form. Upon inquiry they told me that they were not observing wheatiess day, and that many other rés- taurants were ignoring it. We in Chicago—in spite of it being “the sixth German city’—cannot buy meat on Tuesdays or wheat products on Wednes- days in-any restaurant in the city, and, what's more, we wouldn't if we could. 360,876 | floral tributes to his memory were many. MR. M’ADOO’S TASK. | trol of railroads is the readiness of the country step as necessary Se) | to accept the revolutionary. for the winning of the war. | The railroad men in the main to be seem willing if not glad. of several problems which threatened railroad collapse. One was the wage problem, with which the railroad managers seemed incapable of deal- ing separately or in combination. lem. How to get the money and how to get the equipment after getting the money stumped many railroad men. With these problems was the further task, ap- parently impossible without centralized author- ‘ity, of utilizing all the railroad equipment and | facilities, from locomotives and cars to terminals and shops, to the best possible advantage. | Government control does not solve all these problems at once, but it opens the way to solu- tion. It supplies the combined authority and power necessary to their solution, or, at least, to solution. | With all of this advantage of centralized power and authority the Director-General of Railroads will have a difficult task. the operation of all the railroad lines, not merely ness, but alf business. He must see that the rail- | materials to the finished products, from the raw | recruit to the trained soldier, with as little in- jury to general business as possible. In order to make a thorough success of Government con- TT et ference with other business. Let us not forget that war supplies and war transportation are not all that is necessary to win the war. Legitimate business must be kept going. The wheels of industry and commerce cannot be checked or violently diverted without injury to the whole country and to our war cause. The question of essentials and nonessentials is a delicate and dangerous problem. What are nonessentials and how far can they be cut off without dislocating business and causing wide- spread distress.

The New York Sun, which is an advocate of national prohibition, emphatically repudiates sec- Constitution, which provides: The Congress and the several Staies shall have concurrent power to enforce this article. by appropriate legislation. The Sun describes this proposed grant of “con- current power” as “a precedent to invite and facilitate further experiments in revolutioniz- | ing our form of government and to muddle, to what extent of confusion and disaster we can only vonjecture, the perfectly clear and proper distinction between Federal power and state pow- er in legislation.’”’” The Sun therefore comes to | the following conclusion in regard to section 2 the best attainable conditions looking to their | of the amendment: We can conceive of no more dangerous sources of future trouble than will be sup- plied by the deliberato introduction into the text of the Constitution of this fraudulent and absurd clause, What the Sun refuses to recognize is the fact that the real iniquity of the amendment lies in | the principle of national prohibition rather than | in this hypocritical clause, which was designed, to enable the Southern States to save their faces. He must co-ordinate | | without the “concurrent power” to gain efficiency in handling Government busi- | _ tinction between “Federal power and state power That is what national prohibition means. Even provided for in 2, the perfectly clear and proper dis- section 2, in legislation’’ would be eliminated in the amend- ment and’ the revolutionary experiment which the Sun fears would have already taken place. The theory of government upon which the Unit- ed States was established is fundamentally an- tagonistic to the principle of national prohibi- tion. The Constitution of the United States as denial of the principle of national prohibition. Had it been deemed possible that a majority of states would ever undertake to obliterate the police power of all the states, the Constitution could never have been ratified. All previous amendments to the Constitution have involved an extension of individual liberty. This amendment is the solitary instance in which , Congress has deliberately proposed a curtailment of individual liberty and a Prussianized invasion of local self-government on the part of Federal ' authority.

Members of the legal advisory boards who have been appointed in each ward to help registrants fill out the questionnaires properly complain that a tendency is being shown to keep the questionnaires the full seven days allowed by law before coming to the ward board headquarters for advice concerning them. While it is desired that all registrants take answers be made in haste or on the basis of a half-digested understanding, it is pointed ‘out that by immediately consulting a legal adviser the registrant can dispose of his questionnaire promptly and with the knowledge that it has been filled out properly. Employers, by giving men time off can help the boards. It is atadatabned ont that notaries are charging from $2 to $5 for attesting questionnaries.

Kven the Kaiser must have his little Yuletide It must be admitted that his Germanic Majesty’s sense of humor wouldn’t establish the reputation of a new Mark Twain. It is a bit heavy; a bit slow in places—lacking somewhat of that rare sprightliness which is the essence of true wit. But he at least tries and that is some- thing. His contribution to the merriment of the sea- son is a suggestion that all the sovereigns and other crowned nabobs of Europe get together at this time of good cheer and see if they can fig- ure out a way to bring peace. His idea seems to be that if he and Ferdie and Karl and their Turkish confrere could sit around a table and swap yarns with Georgie of England and some- body—not too plebeiay and socially impossible— from France, they might find some way out of the world’s night of horror pithout too forcibly reminding people of those who are responsible for it. Of course the Kaiser has but to examine the matter a little bit to discover that when peace does come Kings will have mighty little to do with it. It will be made by peoples through their own chosen representatives.

It is a fault in us, for the best thing about us has been that we came from the wide spaces and the sunlight, from which our common heri- tage was something in us akin to the soil. Nowadays one sees less and less of that. The effect of it is seen in our poetry, which has come into town with us. From Keat’s ‘‘Ode to a Nightingale’’ we have turned to Kreymborg’s ‘‘Chicken in a Crate on South Water Street.’’ We have lost that touch of nature which one time made us genuine.

Chevalier used to sing a charming | hittle cockney ditta in which the re- frain was, “It wasn't ‘what he said, 'it was the narsty way he said it.’ In popping the question the im- portant thing is not the thing a man says, nor the way he says it, but when he says it. Time, not celo- quence, is the great psychological | ‘factor in the case. Every woman with a grain of intelligence in her | head understands the value of time. in dealing with men.

One day when she asked him | if he would not like to fly away like | other birds he chirped to her that he really thought it must be fine out! there in the big world. And so she' took him to the door and opened the cage, and away he flew, but his mis- tress left the cage hanging by the door. All day he was gone, and when his | mistress at sundown went to look out | the door, there, perched on the rail-| ing of the porch, sat Boo-Robin. “Chirp, chirp,” he said. “I have! come back. I don’t like the world as. well as I expected I would.” | His mistress tapped on the cage | and said: “‘Boo-Robin, do you want to live in the cage again”?’’ “Chirp,” said Boo-Robin, and in he flew and sat on his perch waiting for his supper. The next day he told his mistress the woods were filled with bad-man- nered birds, which picked at him and chattered so he could not think, and he could not find a thing to eat. “But Boo-Yob’’—that was a nick- | name she had for him—‘“‘you were'§ born in the woods, just like the other | little birds, and your mother made a/ what a woman thinks of the man that nest in a tree for you.,”’ “Ah, mistress, dear,” chirped Boo-/| Robin, “how can you expect me to | love the trees and woods when if it | had not beén for you a cat might} have caught me?” “Did not my mother leave me sit- ‘ting on a stone by the roadside be- ee a 'the ladies like you, one I shadl ever care to live with.” cause I could not fly as fast as my brothers, and she never came back, though I called and called to her? “I shall be a woman hater the rest of my. life, mistress, dear; that is, I shall hate all lady birds, and as for you are the only i OO-ROBIN is a very Clever | B bird.

Georgia O’Ra- -mey sings the ballad, of which one line has been quoted across the con- ‘tinent. This is the line telling how 66 By NIXOLA GREELEY-SMITH. DOUBT if a woman lives who does not cherish the memory of her first love with more tender- ness than she has ever betn able to give to any subsequent adventure of the heart. And these subsequent adventures are like the second pressing of grapes, which produces a good com- mercial wine, no doubt, but one lack- ing the flavor of the first rare vint- | age. But it is not true, as La Roche- _foucauld and Lord Byron both have said, that in her first romance womi- an loves the lover, but in all others On the contrary, a girl of 18 is so convinced that the time has come for her to live all the sentimental novels she has read that iendrils of her affection will If her first’ romantic love falls upon object the selection is en- accidental. But it does not worthy. Really, any man or woman is worthy of a great affection who can inspire it. It isnot the man but counts. Romantic love finds its perfect | home in the heart of a girl of 18 or 20. I cannot think that young men of the same age have one-tenth of the feeling that girls have. For, con- sidering the love of young men, I am always reminded of what George III “It’s in- teresting, but it changes the subject too often.” Some people distrust the prompt- ings of romantic love because it rarely considers any save physical | ‘disillusionment if they come. ‘if she has not done this she will be attributes. After reading “The Song of Solomon,” perhaps the greatest love poem ever written, we know that the Shulamite had dove’s eyes and we possess details of her phy- sique which are quite embarrassing- ly intimate, but of her mental and moral qualities we know nothing at all. Modern novelists celebrating the charms of their heroines, follow Solomon’s example. Only George Meredith has created witty as well as beautiful women. And men are not alone in this celebration of eyes and cheeks and noses rather than of brilliancy or sweetness or moral ex- cellence. Ask any engaged girl what her finance is like and it ig almost cer- tain that she will tell you about his shoulders and his eyelashes, and how many cars he has. Of his politics, his religion, his opinion gt womanhood, she knows and cares nothing. There will he long stretches of years in which she can find out those unim- portant trifles. And what do his opinions matter, anyway, if his eyes are of the right color. I believe young people are right in this, and that the wisdom of the elders is not more to be trusted than the clairvoyance of romantic love. Many women urging the claims of money against love with their daugh- ters say: ‘Whether you take one man or another, it will all be the same five years from now.” Very often they are right. But at the same time if a girl marries a man she loves she will have put golden memories aside for the lean years of And the wisp of forbidden love into the marshes of repentance and remorse.
