They complacently look-forward to riots nnd trouble. It Is this we with to prevent. Chance for Understanding "We feel there Is a splendid chance to reach nn understanding between tho races to bring about working rela tions, and to mako for tho betterment of conditions for the Negro. Our com mittee is only two months old. At our lst meeting we discussed segregation, Prominent and educated Negroes on the commlttco told us their pcoplo preferred iking to themselves, having their own toclal life, their own churches, schools nnd meeting places. Hut In most dis tricts where Negroes arc expected to live, houbing conditions aro so bad that no decent Negroes want to live there. How ran there bo uplift; how cun you cipect them to bo clean nnd decent when rtu give them filthy places to dwell? "Thero nro fifteen colored schools In Philadelphia, where there, are hun dreds of Negro children. Negro popula tion here has Increased almost four times as much as tho white population, ac cording to reports from Washington, for the last ten years. This Is duo, Hftthtirinns believe, to the tact Ihnt Philadelphia needed Negro workers) as laborers more during the Inst few lears than over before. Mony of the S'egro residents nro homer owners here to 6tay, nnd they fill nn Impoitont place in our industrial life. With the halt of foreign Immigration tho need for Nero labor has increased. "Illiteracy la decreasing In the Negro rnco by jumps. Last year there were 152 Negro graduates from our higher colleges. When Negroes were emanci pated OS percent were illitcrntc. In 1010 this percentage had decretive! to 30. I do not know more recent figures, but undoubtedly these latt few yours baii meant even Greater progress. Vir tually all tho educated colored folk ro turn to help educate their own people. They want to rniso tho standards for their race. They do not want to inter marry with tho wblto race. Color Not Chief Objection "So mnny are apt to judge the whole Negro race by its servant and criminal c'.&sb. That io as unfair as judging our own peoplo by the lower classes. If you eamo in contact with Negro artists, poets, talented men and women gradu ates of Harvard or other higher col leges, I bcllove color would not make io much difference. "Tho lntcr-rncial rommltteo of Phila delphia is not organized with tho idea of radically changing conditions here, 'it is to dovi'lon confidence and understand ing among Its Negro and white members first. We hopo these feelings will later prend from our members to others uud gradually includo all tho thinking peo Pie of both ruccs. Wo meet to discuss freoly difllcult points of rnco contact.

"El Capitnn" is above all things a frnnklv comic onorn of Hufflclcnt com plexity of plot to nvoid Uie silly nnd yet not sufficiently so to reaulro nuy analytical powers on the part of tho audience. The music which Mr. Hpusa haB composed for the opera la entirely in keeping with the libretto nnd is typ ical of the work of tho American march king; In fuct, the murch rhythm occu pies n very conspicuous placo in tho mimlrnl KPlipmo nf tho onern. It was ctrcedlngly well acted nnd sung. Relnhold Schmidt took thu part of El Capitnn, n role made famous by Do Wolf Hopper many yearB ago, nnd did It splendidly. Hla singing was good, his acting very amusing and his enunciation of words notn spoifn unu sung wns clear. Ills presentation of the part would have done credit to any professional operatic comedian now on the stago. Frederick W. Wyatt plaved the other comedy part, that of the lloyul Cham berlain, in about ns good stjle us Mr. Schmidt did the title role. Roth were exceedingly funny in the parts nnd yet they were not overdone. J. llurnett Holland made u fearsome insurgent, with tho right amount of Hwnggcr and burying Tho other male part-, while not ko importnnt as thete, were nc ceptablv performed and wing.
