We linve, whetlfer we like it or not, international government. It is an international autocracy, Mr. Lloyd (Ieorge, M. Millerund nnd Signor Nltti nre supreme. They exercise n power such as no three men ever exercised in this world befoce They rule the whole world, except, perhaps, the I'lilted Slnles, They govern without constitution nnd bylaws. They have everything except money. If the world's money hnd happened to be in Kurope instead of over here, there would be no limit tn their power. I -.. TTHIAT hns come nut of the vvnr is , VY whnt must inevitably have come oui oi a war which so cxiiiiiikicii na tions as this one did, and, which left so few survivors among the great nations of the world, namely, a small victors' combination to govern nie worm lliemseives to moucraiioii, The difference between the govern ment he tried to set up nnd the gov ernment which exists today was the difference between an absolute mon archy mid a limited monarchy. The thing thut exists is an absolute oligarchy fnr most of the curth. What Mr. Wilson, ofter making his various concessions, tried to set up was a limited oligarchy. lie tried to give the smaller nations of the curth something lo sny uboiit their government by the big victorious nations. J J J IT 18 proposed, that Mr. Lloyd Oeorge, M.

" 1 1 B r I II I II I ' ' I " ' 1 ' resume business as the League of Na tions. Naturally, Mr. Lloyd (ieorge, M. Millerund and Signor Nltti can't sec it. No absolute monarch ever became n constitutional monarch except under compulsion. And theie is no one who can exert compulsion upon the supreme three. Por the supreme three to conscut to be constitutional international bosses would he a nuisance to them. Theie would be checks upon tho ex ercise of (heir supreme international wisdom. Instead ot three, there would be nine powers sitting in council: or, leaving the I'niled States out, there would bo eight. Why should three voluntarily become eight, besides accepting the incumbrance of a constitution and byluvvs? And the necessity now and then of consulting an assembly? q q q A (IOOD excuse exists for (he su- t preme three. The war is not yet over. Attorney ticneral Palmer and Presi dent Wilson resort to that excuse still in labor disputes. The liquidation of Hie war is not the business of the league, but of tho allied council. Hut the liquidation of the vvnr will go on for ten years. And if for ten years n Leugue of Na tions with nothing to do exists along side a supreme three with nutocratie powers, there won't he much ot n League of Nations. . Its position will be as bad ns thnt of the moon in Lewis Carroll's poem, which wns very unhappy because the sun took it into his-heud to keep shin- ins 111 mc luiiKue 01 inc nignt. q q q TTOW long enn the supreme three - Keep 1 1 up?

Thc 'number of noveltcs was not large, but.it Was Hiifliclcnt to siistnln the Interest of the most persistent seeker after the new. who In the Inst itnnl.vVis Is Hie professional musTciati himself, Strangely enough, most of the novel lies performed were the works of Ainer lenn composers, nnd while (excluding RncIininnliiofT's "The Hells" ami possl bly the Llnpntnioff concerto, introduced bv Mls fioodson) nothing of the first i rank was played, still all the compos! lions deserved n Hearing, uilliougli It U not likely that innny of them will re main In the permanent repertoire of the n.iil.nohin WI ... -i. ... 1 III the Instrumental symphonies there were no novelties. TIiIm is not strange, for the symphony seems to linve been relegated to the past ns a form of In t slriimcntal expression, and, uftcr all. the symphony Is the one form which is dependent upon the work of the classic ntmiposcrs. It Is probnbly possible to say something In the symphonic form which hns not yet been said, or to say something In a new way, but the ques' Hon Is, Who Is able to ny It? Tim modeYii instrumental c.omposer seems to Insist tmoii ii urogram. This mnv be ' because he wishes to show how accu rately lie enu translnto emotion from the medium of words into the medium of music, gr, iignin, it mny be because mot of the music Is too 'wenk to stand bv i Itself, nnd is grateful fof the crutch of words, upon which to lean and to make what the composer is trying to say clenrer to the listener. IN THK overtures played there was a novelty, Henry Ilndlcy's "Othello" dedicated to Mr. Stokovvskl. The work is well written, ns are all ot Mr. Hod ley's compositions, but it is by no means one of his best. There was also a "revival" of Jtossin'i'H overture, "The Barber of Seville," played ns a sort of entr'acte to Miss. Hughes's singing of "Una voce poco fa," from the same opera. Hut' it, wns In the miscellaneous plecei thnt most of the novelties nppenred. Among these were Dnvles's Solemn Melody," nn overorchestrntcd hymn; Samuel Gardner's tone poem, "New Russlu," which thes writer hns never been able to definitely classify, nnd two moderately interesting works; a set of three nocturnes by (irlffes and a sym phonic prologue by flilbert, both Amer icans1. There were nlso two fine works by Andre Maquiirre, first flute ot the Orchestra. .Iti which the composer, con trary to most of his kind, realized that there are In the modern orchestra in struments morfc.jmportnnt than the one of which he is so competent n master. Of all the new miscellaneous works played, with one exception, these of Mr. Muqunrro showed the most accurate knowledge of the relative importance ot the orchestral instruments:. This one exception wns the cxtmordi nnry "Pause del Silctizio" by the, we were going to say, "modern," but we hnd better say "futurist," Italian com poser, Mnllplero. This remnrknble series of dissonances, written mostly for full orchestra mid with u fine disregard for the possible softening of the discords by skillful orchestration, had to do with Hie war. the year when Italy was out of It being the programic basis of the composition. We nil kuovv xvhat Gen ernl William Tecnmseh Sherman said about war. Signor Malipiero bus put (ienerai Sherman's remark Into the mu slcnl idiom, and in addition he has made it sound like ll, too. It may be a great work, but if so, it will be" years before it is so declared. THK grent novelty of the season, and one of the greatest compositions performed, wns Rachmaninoff's choral symphony. "The Hells." The Philn delphin Orchestra and Chorus had the distinction ot giving tills fine work its first American pciforniniice. It is tin (loubtedly the most significant, new choral nnd orchestral composition yet .produced by the Orchestra, and few who iieard it will ever forget the thrilling close of the. third movement, to men Hon only one of n large number of highly original and impressive effects. The other choral numbers were the gigantic Ninth Symphony of Heethovcn, which must rank nt the head of fill plinrnl fiiniierl' i nmnnslltniiM. tn unite of the unvocnl writiug of the singing !',ar,?.'1 llot1h r , ""(1 tn ' lho C ,lor"1 ''.'""'TV ,1,p, poser, a work so far below t both solo and for chorus, ami same com the standard of the Ninth Hint, had Heethoven not writ ten it, it would seldom fiud a place upon the programs, of the great sym phony orchestras.
