HAS AMERICA NO FOR MUSIC?" TIME THK t.l.RAM. Coming we know not whence. Going, we know not whither. Larking control, defence. Tossed here and drifting thither; The blind begetting the blind.

That the soul has eternal breath ? night the Thii on the blind A burning and shining light! This that a can may find The deaf in his own despite; A whisper may wake the sleep er. A thief be the foe of the theft. A sluggard hLs brother's keeper, A lover self-beraft; For nought but the spirit's asking A miser shall greatly give. And the god in nla soul un masking.

THEY ARfTnOT INTERNED 3N war as elsewhere strange stories sometimes get started and rouse interest though without foundation in fact. An instance is furnished by a tale carried by some east ern papers that plans have been entertained for a "dash to the sea" bv a number of Ger man owned trans-Atlantic lin ers in New York harbor. Ac cording to the story thousands of Germans and Austnans were planning to leave aboard the ships and the United States srovernment was keeping a "watchful eye" on affairs. The story is baseless for the reason the German liners are not interned, merely staying in the harbor at their own pleas ure. They have a right to leave any time they see fit and ResW 1 RECTOR BODANZKY of the Metropolitan Opera, in The Craftsman, asks and very sensibly answers the I question. Has America no timej for music? by which he means primarily grand opera. "You cannot have conscrip tion for the opera," says he. "Fancy dragging people in early and locking them in for their pleasure." They must be encouraged to love it. and act ing upon this conclusion he is engaged in cutting the longer German operas. In Tristan, Gotterdammerung and Rosen- kavalier he believes "that an hour's time can be saved and with advantage." Wherefore it is no sacrilege in the layman to applaud. Originally the German op eras were composed for peo ple who had time to give whole days to their enjoyment, a fact of which composers took ad vantage. That hours may be taken out of the works imper ceptibly, as Bodanzky propos es to do, proves that those hours, or passages, should never have been in. Un doubtedly composers have themselves partly to thank for the want of appreciation of some of the so-called classic works. The greatest works have universal appeal and mu sic might well borrow some of the majestic simplicity and di rectness which mark the mas terpieces of the other fine arts. It is no reflection on the world when a composer, painter, sculptor or writer cannot com pel it with his work, the mas terpiece in any art must be ad dressed broadly to humanity; it must compel and hold the simple taste as well as the "cultivated." "I feel that in America the opera must be somewhat ad justed to the lives of the peo ple, of all the people, not only the aristocracy, but the work ing people, who seem to be verv sincere music lovers here." sensibly declares Mr Bodanzky, and he bespeaks a greater future for opera in our countrv. The truth is that up on the future of opera here is likelv to depend its future everywhere. America is liter ally the chief supporter of the world's arts today, and has The super cilious foreign artist sneers at American taste, but the sneer is an affectation. He generally looks this way for his ultimate appreciation and consequent reward. This is largely true of modern composers and great artists in the world of music. This is a busy America, but it somewhat manages to find time, and money, for anything, including even a Parsifal now and then.

Hazen and Miss Anna Marie Scherrer were complete strangers to each other when they first sat down on a bench In Riverside Park last summer to hear one of the popular band concerts. The fact that the park soon became crowded and the..' were forced to sit close together started an acquaintance which re sulted in their marriage. Anyway, there had to be apologies when the outside- people pushed the young people close to the center of tho bench. 'And I'm not sorry we had to make room, either," says the pretty bride.
