THE Portland Opera i-aiisoctaUon met Tuesday evening at the Portland hotel and re-elected Its entire list of officers. It waa a . " -very high compliment Indeed ; paid these energetic servants, and one of the principal reason for the grate fulness of the larKe membership prea ' ant was the fact that in the treasury there reposed the sum of $102.6. The treasurer's report was quite re markable, for when the opera - asso ciation began it career it was freely predicted that the venture would pile : up on the rocks of disappointment and disaster. But these prophets who ,'told us no" weri mistaken and I suppose by this time have become convinced that home opera !s possible ' in Portland. Another reason why these officers were re-elected Is to be found in the fact that they save Portland opera ' that compared favorably indeed with that offered by permanently organised traveling companies in many respects. But for the kefn discrimination in making the selections for the various roles, this would not have been pos sible. . Those whom the orsanlzatlon haa honored by retaining them in dffice for another year are: Jacob Kanxler, president; Mrs. Warren E. Thomas, first vice president; Mrs I'reston C. -. Smith, second vice president; Karl Herbrtng, secretary; J Ross Fargo, treasurer; Mrs. E. L-. Thompson.

Miss Marguerite Mulder, a talented young pianist, will he heard in recital at the Little theatre June 5. Miss Mul der will be assisted by her teacher. Jo seph P. Mulder, tenor, and the program will be one of much interest. Miss Fulder's studies in Portland have been with Abby Whiteside. The Everett Daily Herald has the following to say concerning the con cert recently given In that city by Will iam Robinson Boone: "Probably the most thoroughly enjoyed organ recital yet given at the First Baptist church was rendered last night by William R. Poone of Portland, supplemented by Dal Steele Ross, meezo contralto. In vocal selections. An audience of about 700 heard the program, which was giv en for the benefit of the Red Cress. The program played by the Portland organist brought to his hearers a larger understanding of the possibilities of the Instrument than ever before, through the selection of numbers of largest range and variety. Mr. Boone, although comparatively a young man, is considered one of the most finished masters of the manuals on the Pacific coast, and last night he played with splendid spirit, in magnificent technic, bringing from the pipes the most deli cate tonal shadings by the expert use of swell and pedals. His employment of the Deagan chimes connected with the instrument was particularly effect ive." The music composed for "Blue Wing." the comic opera presented by the Seat tle Federation of Women's clubs at the Moore May 18-19, is the work of a com poser whose music career has been as successful as It has been wide flung. Gerard Tonnlng was born In Stavanger, the picturesque old Norwegian seaport. After receiving the degrees of bachelor of art and of philosophy at the Univer sity of Christiania. he entered the Con st rvatory of Music at Munich, Ger many, where he studied the piano under Herr Bussmeyer (a pupil of Liszt) and Herr Kellehmann (for several years the A great deal of Interest is being expressed among teachers throughout the atate in the approaching conven tion of the Oregon State Music Teach ers' association, which, though It is to be rather informal. Is going to be of the greatest Importance to all con cerned in the advancement of music t There are to be several very 'm port ant steps taken at this time to raise the standard of, not only musicianship, but of the opinion of husic as a pro fession. The state president, John Claire Monteith, Is calling this informal meeting at the time of the Portland musical festival and all convention business is being arranged to fit around the festival program.' The convention headquarters will be at the Multnomah hotel. ' A tentative program, which follows, has been put in the hands of Mrs. E. A. Beals, chairman of the arrange ments committee: Thursday morning, July 5, at 11 o'clock, at the Hotel Multnomah, in formal reception: 12:30, luncheon. At o clock at the Auditorium, F. W. Goodrich, W. R. Boon and F W. Wil son will explain the new organ and arrange a program of organ music. which will be exceptionally fine. Fri day morning at 10 o'clock at Hotel Multnomah will be held the only real business session, but the measures brought before the association will be of the most vital importance to mu sical Oregon and music teachers. Fri day evening there will probably be a banquet, at which the soloists of the musical festival will be the guests of honor. Saturday morning will be spent on the Columbia river highway. with a picnic luncheon at Multnomah Falls. Beside the real serious purpose of all association meetings, a general good time is promised and an oppor tunity will be given for better ac quaintance among a very busy class of people musicians. Much Interest is being created not only In Oregon, but in other states, over the ownership of a phonograph library by the State Music Teachers' association. Miss Mary F. Isom Is chairman of the committee and is do ing a most splendid work. This Is an entirely new idea and other slates are looking on with much interest. The committee is asking the co operation of not only the musicians, but of every citizen of Oregon, in the way of donations of good records. Many owners of phonographs have records of which they may have tired. These will be gladly received by the committee. It is planned to have the home of the phonograph library at the Oregon university, under the care of Dr. John Landsbury, who is to be dean of the university school of music. Dr. Landsbury is arranging programs to fit all occasions which may be had, with the necessary records, for illus tration, upon application by any study club or school. ine association members are very grateful to Dr. Landsbury for the in terest he is taking in the association and the splendid extension work he is planning to do throughout the state. Another who is working unceasingly for the same object along another line is Mis Mary Hoham, head of the music department at Monmouth Nor mal. The object of her committee is to secure funds with which to estab lish in Monmouth a department for the training of supervisors of music. .: I WUAKItil IS Kb.UKCiANIZ.b.U 16 7 )ihlA T tsi.

How British Women Serve In War Time HE active part the Women of the British empire. are playing at present back of the first line trenches In France should be specially interesting to the women of America, in view of the entrance of the United fetates into the world war. Women doing work of any kind for the army are now Included as part of that organization, both in service in England and France. There are per haps 30.000 doing actual service for their country from a military stand point. Thousands of women clerks are novr In the war department and the fleil ray service. Women chauffeurs are driving the trucks of the army service corps, while even in tjie royal flying corps there are women mechanics anj some observers. In the field, where German bom bardments are liable to make various positions almost untenable, there work many women cooks and waitresses. calmly doing their bit. as if it wete quite the most natural thing in the orld to hear shells groaning through the air and bullets crooning their weird cry of death. The women were all trained in the army service school and picked for active service. They play an Important part In the advance of the allied troops. The car of a famous general is driven by a woman. Dashing madly acros open spaces from one post to another, dodging shell holes and mine craters, this fearless lady quite enjoys flirting ' with death, and through her presence of mind anl quick wit she Is said to have saved the life of the general on numerous occasions by extra bursts of speed in beating out an exploding shell.

Jules Speck, stage manager of the Metropolitan Opera company for French and Italian operas during the nine years of General Manager Gattl Casazza's regime in New York, has re signed and returned to his home in France on Saturday, May o. It has been stated that Richard Ordygski is to be Mr. Speck's successor. Arthur Balfour, foreign minister of Great Britain, who is now In the United States, is extremely fond of music and for years has been one of the most enthusiastic patrons of musical affairs in London. Before the war he was one of the most constant attendants of the concerts of the Lon don Symphony orchestra and did much for a time to promote the comprehen sion In England of the works of Wag ner. He is one of the finest amateur pianists In the United Kingdom and bis memory of the great classical works, which he plays without notes, is said to be phenomenal. The cause of American-made grand opera will undoubtedly receive another etrong impetus next season, when Hehry Hadley's "Azora" is produced In Chicago by the Chicago Grand Opera association, of which Cleofonte Campanlni Is director. Announcement of the acceptance of this opera by'Mr. Campanlni was made a few days ago, according to musical America. Mr. Hadley is known chiefly as a writer in the symphonic form, as well as for his numerous cantatas and songs, but this is not his first granJ opera which has been produced, as his "Safle" had a hearing at -Mainz, where he was orchestra conductor. Maestro Campanlni, after accepting "Azora," secured the rights also of an other opera which Mr. Hadley is writing, based upon Robert Hichen's "Garden of Allah," the text of which has been adapted by Charles Henry Meltxer, for the season of rt 19-20. The cast of "Azora" will be made up principally of Americans and Mr. Had ley will conduct the premiere. The subject of the opera is his torical and pertains to the reign of Montezuma and the Aztecs, who were sun-worshippers and offered human sacrifices to their mighty god, Totec." Pilate's ' wife, Montezuma's sister, Papauzin. had revealed to her in a dream the vision of a mighty monarch who would come to reign in a spirit of tru humanity without accepting blood sacrifice. Her prophecy and teachings are srurned by Montezuma and his followers. As a romantic element placed against this sombre background Is the love of Azora and Xalea, lKth of whom by a decree of Montezuma are doomed to death. They are to be offered as a living sacrifice to Totec. The tragedy is averted only by tho timely arrival of Cortez and his Span ish followers, bringing the Christian faith to supplant that of the sun worshippers. The scene ends with a wild paean of thanks to the Almighty, in which the priests chant above a mass of chorus, 'Hodie Christos Natus Est." The score calls for seven principals, a large chorus and ballet. A musicale will be given at the East Side Christian church. East Twelfth and Taylor streets, Friday evening. May 25, at 8 o'clock, when the program will be as follows: "Eldorado" Plnsutl "The Owl" Si u Kt Side ChrUtitn Church Choir." Cornet oio Selected W. E. McElroy.
