THE MORNING OBEGONIAN. THURSDAY, APRIL' 15, 1915.' AUSTRIA-HUNGARY GQUNTS ONWINNING Confidence Prevails in Dual Monarchy, Despite Enor mous Sacrifices. RUSSIA HELD TO BLAME trbl, Say Loaders, Was Prompted to Intrigue by Assurance of 3Ius- covite Support; Tan-SUrio Propaganda Opposed. Everyone in both states realizes that the people axe bound together for life or death. The questions, too, which ex ist between the two nationalities will be easier of solution after the war be cause the great struggle In which we are engaged has made It clear to all that each must rely on tbe other. "Elsrht months of war also have proved that we know bow to fight and that the soldiers of all nationalities have learned to esteem the valor of their comrades. Our troops, it is gen erally recognized, fight with splendid courage and unshakable obstinacy. America's Friendship Desired. "We hope that Americans will come to see more and more what sort of struggle we are waging. Austria-Hun- cary is Dy nature mat, wnicn me United States has gradually become. although not to such an extent, by Im migration, namely, an entity composed of many races, which nevertheless wish to preserve their nationality and indi viduality. At the same time all would suffer if torn asunder. "Emigration in the next lew years presumably will fall off, because tne work to be done after the war will require at home many of the hand which now seek employment across the ocean. Our relations with the United States undoubtedly will show steady growth. Shipping communication will be more frequent and our commerce ill grow, because it is to be assumed that after the war Austria-Hungary ill experience a period of powerful economic development." t TRUTH" IS OPERA RED LETTER Many Are Turned Away Baker When Singers Give Old-Time Favorite. 1 ALL ACTING IS SUPERB Mastery of Roles Common to Kntire Cast and Thrilling Story IB Wovn by Excellent Vocal and Dramatic Work.

The comnosite views or too states tnpn are about as follows: Th smirk which kindled the war was it 1st true, an incident of the sad rf.ur nntiiTA for us. but the incident represented merely the consequence of a series of deeds and activities aiming t tha destruction ot Austriartiungary. Americans, wno quite naiurauir imu little attention at an earlier date to the events in Central and eastern Europe, saw the curtain go up only at the mo ment when a great power, Austria Hungary, was about to call little Ser bia to account.. Their first impression was that of the misuBe of our greater strength. The situation in reality was quite different, Serbian Intrigues Reviewed. For years it had been openly preached in Serbia' that the southern nrovinces must be torn from our mon jirrhv.

'The clearest definition of the car dinal principles of pan-Slavism is that of the famous Russian autnor, jjos- toyevsky, who said: "All Slav streams must emDty into the Russian Sea. While within its own empire Russia oppresses the Slav peoples over whom it rules, it has constituted itself attorney for the Slav races beyond its borders as a pretext for interfering in foreign affairs not determined by other states. "Ruthenians. Poles. exeens ana Slovenes enjoy in Austria-Hungary all national rights, whereas Russia Is Drison for the race not of Russian etock. Frightful persecutions of the Jews are constantly recurring under the assent and by the tacit encourage ment of the authorities. These show to what depths Russian culture descends. "Russia has long been preparing itself for this war, and in recent years repeatedly carried out a so-called test of mobilization, enabling it to nave ai most continuously an enormous army ready for operation within a few weeks. It was Russia which, incited Serbia, and when Serbian agitation so cieties went so far as to suborn the murder of the Crown Prince, and we wished to hold the Serbian government tA orpnttnt Rujwiii determined to pre vent this by proposing a conference at I of which Russia should appear as tne ad vocate of Serbia so as to reduce our measures against Serbia to a scale which Russia had decided was per missible. Alternative Suicide or War. "Thi3 subversive work against us sroceeded and increased in vigor, for one of the main arguments of the Serb ian propaganda was that we were too weak or too helpless to resist. The Kus slan government knew well that it was necessary for us to take steps against Serbia unless we wished to commit sui cide and thus gave us the alternative of auicide or war. "The war is for us a war of self-de fense and existence. For Russia the Gypsy Fart Well Played. Luisa Cecchetti is a star performer in the part of Azucena, the gypsy, and her magnificent portrayal last night of that part was superb both in singing and acting. It was equal with the best traditions of the star Azucenas or tne stage, and her mer.tal grasp of the pos sibillties of stage situations and posing is first class. Miss Lynbrook was a healthy, robust Leonora and was stately in ber pres entation of it. 6ilva was a magnificent-looking Count di Luna and was quite dramatic In his concept of it. His resonant voice wae in splendid condition, and he used it with excellent judgment He invest ed the part with that sardonic tragedy it demands. The favorite musical selections of the entire opera, judging from the enthu siastic plaudits of the audience, seemed to be the duets between De Folco and Miss Lvubrook in the prison scene oe fore the "Ah che la Morte," and be tween De Folco and Mme. Cechetti, Home to Our Mountains. ' De Folco was much praised for nis euecuve singing of "Dl Quell Plrra," in the third act. in tne anvil cnorus -ia. Vingerella" the chorus made a hit. Opera Always Snccessrul. 'II Travatore" was first produced in Rome January 19. 1853. and like "Mar. tha" and "Faust" it reached an instan taneous success and is a success-even today. The part of Manrico is a fa. vorite one with all tenors, gbd among those who have sung with success in it may be mentioned Mario, Campaninl and Caruso. The opera is also known under the title, "The Gypsy's Ven geance." The Count dl Luna quarrels with a gypsy tribo, and orders a witch burned. The witch's daughter, Azucena, plots revenge. She abducts the Count's son and throws, wno sne thinks is this young aristocrat into the flames, but finds out too late that she has burned to death her own son. She takes the boy of aristocratic birth to the mountains with her tribe and calls him Manrico. Counter Loves at War. In the meantime, the old Count dies. and his elder son succeeds him. The new Count is also a gypsy hater. Man rico wins the love of the Duchess Leo nora, who is also loved by his brother, the Count.

Woodard, Clarke & Co., Alder at West Park i . i SALUBRITY IS HEARD John Kendrick Bangs One Those He Defines. of VIEWS WIN ADMIRATION Audience at Lincoln Hish and Per sons Who Meet Lecturer Place Him Among Those Who Are Celebrities and More. ' v BY DEAN COLLINS. John Kendrick Bangs, who main tains that one may bo a "celebrity ana yet lack the qualities that char acterize a real "salubrity, and who de voted his lecture at the Lincoln High School Tuesday night to a reminiscent talk on "celebrities" he had known who were algo "salubrities." proved to his audience and to those he met before and after the lecture that he is him self a "salubrity." His claims to celebrity have been sufficiently well established to need no demonstration. One was impelled to credit nim wun tant dislike for the unnecessary muck raking characteristic of modern pub. iir-.tlnn and for the type of modern fiction, which, as he said, "a careless postal system permits to ce aeuvereu throurh the mails to your very doora and which abounds with situations that 5ju and I would not have dared to think of 20 years agro without going into a dark room and locking; the door behind us." go many have learned in these latter days to suppress the pangs of nausea, that one's heart goes out with a feeling of expansive warmth to the lecturer who darea to let hi soul retch at that which has long made other souls retch in secret and in suffering. His lecture was Just a series of anecdotes of his acquaintance with various celebrities with a human Bide to them, and he emphasised the human side, and in the course of his talk let his own humanity come out and shine with a radiance that proved to the audience, gently and convincingly, that it sat under the sound of the voice of one who was himself a "salubrity." After the lecture he was the guest of the Portland Press Club at its quar ters in the Klks building. He will ap pear again at tha Lincoln High School Thursday night. If his lecture alone would not uphold the right of John Kendrick Bangs to the title of a "salubrity," one other fact might be brought forward to strengthen the proof.
