best chorus singers, accompanied by
the Portland Symphony orchestra and
Auditorium organ, and assisted by two
of the soloists engaged, will present
X'oleridge-Taylor's "Wedding Feast of
Hiawatha." This Is a tuneful, melodi
ous work. In which the composer has
used Ijongfellow's poem and providing
a setting both unusually beautiful and
characteristically Indian. In addition
to th concerted work, thrn will be
song groups by the soloists and at least
two orchestral numbers by the or
chestra. On the second night, June 7. an Im
mense chorus, formed from members of
. Portland's five high school choruses,
which will be accompanied by an or
chestra of 100 members selected from
high school orchestras, will be; heard.
To add variety, the other two soloists
will contribute numbers of suitable
character.
On the third and closing night of the
festival, June 8. the festival chorus, ac
companied by the Portland Symphony
orchestra, will present "The Swan and
Skylark" (Goring Thomas), and will be
assisted by the four soloists.

the study of musical history and prac
tice in : public performance. At this

among primitive people and the con
tributions of the medieval church to
musio were studied and discussed. Prof
itable musical games were played and
several solos by selected members were
rendered.
The following officers were elected":
President, Marion Kamusher ; vice
president, Ben Flnkel ; secretary, Min
nie Vigdoff ; sergeant-at-arms, Abe
Tilles. Additional members are: Bella
Fox, Irene Kaufman. Sarah Seltzer, Lu

Since the T. M. C. A opened the Eagle
Hut In ; the Strand, London, early last
fall, an English girl, named Kate Pope,
has been singing and playing to the sol
diers and sailors there twice a day.
Song writers bring her their effusions
by the bale to "try them on."
This Is the advice she gives them;
Write a rag at least a song with
some syncopation. That is what the
boys always ask for. Don't be too patri
otic In ! your song writing. The boys
don't care for that sort of thing. When
they do It's an exception, as, for In
stance, rTipperary.' But If you analyse
that yoa will find that it Is not the usual
type of patriotic song. It is simply con
sidered patriotic , because of time and
usage.! -
"A good point to bear in mind Is to in
troduce the humorous side of war. The
soldiers know the other side, and when
they are out to sing It is for diversion.
The most popular song of the minute
with the sldters here is, "I Don't Want
to Get Well.'
"Other popular songs with the men
just now are: 'Joan of Arc, 'Huckle
berry .Finn and Are3Tou From Dixie 7

upon to play for the soldiers, so she.

to Camp Merrit, about which she writes :
'"I had a wonderful experience yester
day, Mrs. Hartridge Whipp called up
and asked me to play at Camp Merrit
that night, so we went over to Mr.
Mulligan's to try several pieces. Mr.
Mulligan is organist in the Fifth Ave
nue church and is, a musical and literary
critic of ability. He is now entering the
composing stage, too. I was very glad
of the opportunity to meet and play
for him. 1 had promised , to go to
Camp Merrit before I thought of- my
sore finger, so I said t would go or die
in the attempt.
"From Mr. Mulligan's apartment we
went to the One Hundred and Thirtieth
Btreet dock,- and there met Mr. and
Mrs. Whipp, Mrs. Hamilton, contralto, '
and Mrs. Homesley, soprano. We ar
rived at Camp Merrit at 7:20 or 7:30.
Such mud I never did see.
"The program was .to be given at the
Y..M. C. A., No. 2. When we arrived
the hall was crowded with about 600
soldiers and the cheer that greeted us
was deafening.1 We saw some of the
boys who were sending their accessory
baggage, as we entered. The head boy
there introduced us as Mr. Mulligan
and his musicians. Mrs. Hamilton Bang
first. Her warm contralto and pleasing
personality were very well received.
Then Mr. Whipp took the tage and- told
the story of 'Fuzzy Wuzzy,' which he
was going to sing. This made a great
hit. Then I played a number, which
also called for an encore, "A Bowl of
Roses." This struck those boys Just
right, and the applause after this to
them novelty (singing and playing at
the same time), certainly was a spontan
eous outburst. Mrs. Homesley followed
with a . few songs which she 'spoke,'
while playing the piano. This also took i
wefl. Then the order of soloists was !
repeated. 'Fuzzy Wuzzy' and the vlolln- j
1st being called ror irom tne audience, i
Let me tell you that this was the most'
Inspiring audience I believe I have ever
sung or played for. For the second
boIo I used the 'Cansonetta,' and, for en
core, "Believe Me.' My finger hurt like
a house afire, but. gee ! what was this
to what those boys, to whom I was giv
ing a little pleasure that evening, would
be suffering soon.
"Well, after the program we were
each introduced separately. 'Mrs.
Homesly from ' (I forgot where) ; next.
Mi,8S Hoeber. from Oregon.' Well, one
fellow said: 'What was the name?" SoiLi has reeentlv comnleted the musical

PUBLICATION this month Is an-
nounced of former Ambassador i
James W. Gerard's new book. "Face to
Face with Kaiser Ism" (Doran).
Mr. Gerard Is our recognized author
ity on the man and the idea the kai
ser and kalserlsm. He has been face to
face with the one In his palace, and
with the other In all neutral countries
and even at home.
One volume, "My Four Years in .Ger
many." could not contain his full story.
There the author but began. "Face to
Face With Kalserlsm" contains, word
for word. Gerard's heretofore unpub
lished personal narrative of events kept
while In Germany.
In his introduction Mr. Gerard saya:
"What I want especially to Impress
upon the people of the United States la
that we are at war because Germany in
vaded the United States an invasion In
sidiously conceived and vigorously pros
ecuted." In the very first paragraph of the
book he strikes the keynote of his
theme. He writes: "To the American
mind the kaiser Is the personification of
Germany. He Is the arch enemy upon
which the world places the responsibility
for this most terrible of all wars. I
have sat face to face with him In the
palace at Berlin where, as the personal
representative and envoy of the presi
dent of the United States, I had the
honor of expressing, the viewpoint of a
great nation. I have seen him In the
field as the commanding general of
mighty forces, but I also have seen him
in the neutral countries through which

call to a larger vision in our national

i "Great changes." he says, "are com

We are on the threshold of a great re
adjustment. Whatever else our entrance

William Allen White
Writes New Volume
Wintam Allen White, who has Just
published a new book entitled. "The
Martial Adventures of Henry and Me,"
occupies a unique place in American
journalism. As the editor of a small
town paper. The Emporia Gazette, he
has attracted more attention than many
editors of metropolitan dallies receive.
His articles, published In the Gazette,
have been reprinted and commented
upon all over the world and he has
refused many inviting offers from news
papers In the big cities, preferring to
remain where he could be thoroughly
free and Independent In his utterances.
In Emporia, he In quite the town no
table. It Is said that at the time of
the publication of his novel. "A Certain
Rich Man." 2000 copies were sold In Em
poria, which then had a population of
about 10.000. Thin Is an average of
about one copy to a family and is but
typical of the Interest which his towns
people feel In anything he does. He has
lived there all his life, a span of about
50 years.
Mr. White's new book describes his
i experiences when. In company with
Henry Allen, another Kansas editor, he
went to Europe and to the front (n the
Interests of the Red Cross. It Is de
clared a distinctly American book, full
of good humor, and one which at the
same time gives a new idea of the war
and the people who are waging It.

Tone Coloring
I THE
Marvelous Duo Art
The DUO ART produces "tone color" impossible In any
other Player because its dynamic bellows is capable
of producing practically twice the number of degrees in
tone than any other Instrument sixteen, to be exact
This great number of tone gradations results in wonder
fully besntiful "tone shades" or "tone colors." Not only
does the Duo Art excel in "tone color," but in five other
vital points
1 "Time" Control which not only regulates the time,
but instructs and guides the one playing, assuring
the correct interpretation of the selection.
2 Accenting the Solo bringing out perfectly the solo
(or melody), bat at the same time controlling the
accompaniment so that it properly supports the solo.
3 No Pedaling The air chamber is constantly sup
plied without foot pedaling, permitting the one play
ing to devote his entire attention to interpretation,
- thus making the instrument a pleasure instead of a
labor.
4 Simplicity of Construction No complicated or trou
blesome mechanisms, as in other Players.'
5 Reproducing- the actual playing of the Groat Pianists
with the wonderful Duo Art Rolls, as perfectly as
the Victrola reproduces the voice of Caruso and
other great artists.
There are so many interesting 'things about the
Duo Art we cordially invito you to com in to aee and
bear it.

flcial document f much inter.
Issued by the war office of Great Brit
ain. Is a record and report of the trades
and ikrocessea tn which women are uc
cessfuily employed in temporary re
placement of men.
Many of the arduous labors per-
formed would seem unbelievable but
for the photograph In evidence and -the
unquestionable authoritattvenett of
the report. '
For Instance, such toilsome heavy
work as leather dipping in the tanyard
vats, conveying It on barrowa and .
"rolling" It by machinery: digging day
and shoveling It Into dinkey ears ;
carrying large sheets of glass In the'
glass factories ; handling long teel -bars,
rods and pipes In the shipyards;
harrowing sacks of flour In the flour
mills : acting as porters In railway .
goods yards, or. as we term It. hand-'
ling freight and express.

ants, truck drivers, butchers, wagon r
washers. brewery workers, locomotive -cleaners,
railway carriage washers, out
side window washer, furnace stokers. "
coke barrowers at a gas works, coal 1 -loaders
and weighers, harvesters, are
among the many fields of labor '
plcted. " -
One stable Is shown of 60 horses en- ;
tlrely groomed and cared for by women. '
Another English report of Interest Is
that of the health of munition workers N

Show Big Decrease:

books In the New Tork public library
has dropped 18 per cent in the past year. -M
A library official announces that the -circulation
figures for New Tork wart
207.000 tn 11 and only 171.000 In 1117. '
German books before the war were on
third of the total of all books printed tn '
foreign languages In circulation.
Many German books have been .
thrown out of the New Tork library
within the last 12 months. Books con- "
sldered harmless before this country en- :
tered the war have been taken out bef
cause they mere antagonistic to the al-
lies. No German books have been barred
from the reference department of any of ,
the city's libraries. , . ,
Still greater reduction In the circular-
