New York, or Local Agents HOLLAND NEW YORK TO ROTTERDAM 8, Nov. 12 15, Nov. 19 22, General Pannenger Office, 24 State St., Musical A writer of New York on musical topics makes the startling statement in a recent article that upwards of a bil- lion dollars was spent last year in this country in paid admissions to concerts and the opera. Following this state- ment is also the announcement that the Americans, though noted the world over for their love of sports, spent less than that amount on base ball, foot ball and other sports, even including the recent Dempsey-Carpentier bout. Nor was this patronage of musical events confined to a limited section of the country. It was as universal as It is a well known fact that midsummer, which formerly was a period destitute of musi cal interest, no longer lacks for patron- age of musical events such as concerts and summer opera wherever they are presented. An illustration of this may be found in the orchestral concerts that are being given in New York at the Lewisohn Stadium at the present time. Thou- sands are said.to attend these open-air performances nightly, and the higher the standard and more serious the music of the program, the larger the crowd. A feature of these concerts that is of general interest to music lovers and of special to young artists aspiring to a public career, is the op- portunity they afford for the appearance each season of eight young soloists chosen by vote from hundreds of ap- plicants by an audition committee. They are thus given an opporunity to appear in a series of concerts that includes as solocists such artists as Mme. Helen Stanley, soprano; John Powell, pianist; Arthur Hackett, tenor; Clarence White- hill, bass, and others of equally distin- guished reputation. l ! Both Henry Hadley, who conducted these concerts the first part of this season, and Victor Herbert, who is now conducting, are heartily in sym- pathy with this promotion of young American artists who are properly equipped for public appearance but have had little opportunity to demon- strate their musical gifts and attain- ments.

The annual report of the service {the Naval Academy, Coast Guard, Wi th Its Romance, Must Go to Cut Down Expenses BY HERBERT COREY. Good-bye, coast guard service. You're through. The old bell in the village tower is ringing over you right now. There's crepe on your dcorbell. It is too bad. There mever was a finer little marine service than that of the coast guard, which in 1915 became the heir and successor of the old revenue cutter service and the It has a century | is mostly made up of a recital of lives saved and property damage prevented. Its picturesque flag with the vertical stripes has been seen in every stormy water over which the United States claims dominion. In its detailed report of the years work done there is a stern query following cach story: “Did the coast guard perform its formed by it. According to the most recent report they are as follows Duties of Coast Guard. Rendering assistance on the se. removing floating dangers to naviga- tion, extending medical aid to fish- ing 'vessels, protection of the c toms revenue, enforcement of anchor- age regulations, quarantine, neutral- ity and navigation laws, protection of game and fisheries in Alaska, enforc- ing the sponge-fishing law and patrol- ling the Grand Banks for ice. This does not include the service rendered to the Navy in time of war, when the coast guard automatically becomes a part of the Navy All those things can be done quite as well by the Navy as by a separate sertice. The Navy might even do some of these things better hecause the Navy has more boats and more men. There are 300-odd destroyers now in the Navy and almost 300 of them are tied up because there is no work for them. A destrover can go through any weather that any ves- sel can, as has been abundantly shown. If the Navy takes the place full duty’ . Usually the reply is “ves’ ‘The man who, being a member of the coast guard, does not do his full duty had best tie his slicker and sea boots into @ neat package, for he is on his way out. Did Full Duty During War. Too many of the coast guard cut- ters, with all respect to age and honorable servitude, are round- buttocked old tubs that leak scandal ously and can barely make head against a tempest. But no tempest ever hol a coast guard cutter in if there is meed for her on the seas. The gallant old ladies did their full duty during the war. The tgrpedoed Tampa sank with all her crew. The latest report shows that during the year the service took 2741 persons from positions of peril and assisted into port vessels valued, with their cargoes, at more than $65,000,000. But the coast guard is dying. Its days are numbered. Tomorrow it may be only an inspiring memeory of bravery and sacrifice and self- forgetfulness. Sentiment may win, of course. It may be that when the bill for the re- organization of the government ser ices is introduced in the House champions may be found for the coast guard, for old time's sake and friendship and for the ties of service. But it is nct likely that the cham. pions will prevail. For the coast guard has become excess baggage, in the opinion of those who have been studyipg the situation. Its work can be better done by the Navy and at less cost- With a higher tax rate impending, the administration is des- perately studying every angle at which a saving of cost may be made. It's hard luck for the coast guard, but it presents such an angle. It h an academy at New London, Conn. Cost of Mainte: It's a mighty nice littl There never was a nicer emy. Washed by sea waves, cool by the sweetest breezes, it is an ideal place in whichc to gain one’s education™ Last year, accord- ing to the printed report, there were twenty-three line cadets under in- struction at the New London acad- emy. But the taxpayers paid some- thing like a quarter of a million dol- lars to keep up the academy, not to speak of the taxes which would have been paid on the property if privately owned. That. figures out approxi- mately $10,000 per cadet per year, which is a trifie too much, even for 8 great and glorious country. wing—or even a lean-to—added to at Annapolis, would accomodate the twenty-three line cadets. It is probable they would secure an even better educa- tion than they do at New London. Certainly no better education is pro- curable anywhere than may bé had at_Annapolis. Perhaps it was the cost of the New London academy that first attracted the attention on the members of the committeeion reorganization, of which ‘Walter L. Brown of Toledo is chair- man. They began to go deeper into of the coast guard service, the young- er officers will be given sea training that will make them better servants in time of war. New Vessels Badly Needed. If the coast guard is retained, then its fleet must be largely rebuilt. Many of its vessels can be repaired, o course, but the repairs must be enor- mously costly. In the latest report the coast guard reported the expendi- ture of $3,261.000 for nmew construc- tion and $357,000 for repairs. With a Navy full of idie vessels it has scem- ed rather absurd to spend more mon for more vessels. But the expendi- ture will be necessary if the coast guard service is Kept in being. The time is approaching when to send ceast guards to sea in some of the old cutters will be approaching man- slaughter. There is but one point at which the duties performed by the coast guard may not be performed by the Navy That is in the assistance rendered to the customs department. Boiled down, that means in the prevention of hootch running. There is no other smuggling nowadays, except that of laces, and diamonds, and pearls, and fine dresses and the like, and all of that sort of smuggling is done over the piers in New York and Philadelphia. Now and then a “mystery ship,” laden with va- rious lovable drinkables, is reported off the coast. But so long as that ship lies outside the three-mile limit the coast guard cannot touch it, or has no with the notable exception of the Brit- ish rum runner, Henry L Marshall, and when the dark night comes and the mystery ship spurts for an inlet there isn’t a coast guard cutter that cai come near her. So far as the preven- tion of whisky smuggling is concern- ed, it isn't being prevented by any high seas activities. Why the Navy Is Barred. The Navy, with its fast destroyers, might be useful in this line. but it will not be permitted to be. The rea- son is that the Army and Navy were, by the foresight of our fathers, barred from any interference in the enforce- ment of civilian regulations. Give the Navy or the Army a chance to put heavy hand on lawbreakers and Prus. sianism is just around the corner. The high, well born officers of Germany showed that. They got themselves so confused with the state that by and by they were the state. With that sole exception, all the duties of the coast quite as efficiently done . And, as has been said, ‘The coast guard has but thirty-two sea going cutters, of which five are Eagle boats. And Eagle boats should never g0 to se: The latest report shows that it cost almost $9,000,000 to run the coast guard for the year ended June, 1920. Not all of that will be saved by the incorporation of the coast guard in the Navy, for that is what the plan now tentatively adopted is. But some millions will be saved, and it is by the process of saving some millions here and some millions there by the elimi- nation of duplication that the commit- the coast guard service. They injtee on reorganization hopes to pare quired into the duties now being per- down the high cost of government.
