Their commands are recruited wholly from thectimber districts of the country and contain men who are experienced in all phases of the lumbering industry. The Tenth Engineers are already in the zone of active operations, their work being largely along trench, rail- road and building construction. The timber is cut under the directions of the skilled foresters and goes through the same steps as in this country until the raw lumber is procured.

She was born in Milan of Spanish-Italian parents, and is a graduate of the Musical Conservatory of her native city, where she won honors as a pianist and composer. At the suggestion of Mascagni, she added singing to her other accomplishments by teaching herself, and made a brilliant debut at the Costanzi Theatre in Rome. Later, she sang at the Khedivial Theatre at Cairo, and then at the principal Opera houses in Milan, Naples, Petrograd, Madrid and Buenos Ayres. Although Mme. Galli-Curci had had six years of unfailing successes abroad, the rec- ognized idol of Spain; to say naught of her own country, and South America, she was comparatively unknown in the United States, prior to her sensational debut in Chicago, less than a year ago. No extravagant claims were advanced on her behalf; she was in no wise a "prepared sensation." Mme. Galli-Curci sings in five languages, via.: Italian, Spanish, French, German and English, and is one of the few excptions among operatic stars, who is quite as much at home on the concert as on the operatic stage. Wherever music connoiseurs are to be found; wherever there is a pub- lic which is musically inclined, in whatever spot Eugene Ysaye has' appeared there is but a single opin- ion, that the Belgian musician is the master violinist of the world. Some experts, whose judgment is founded on that calmness of mind that in- spires profound respect for their opinion, assert that it is a serious question if there ever lived a violin player who was Ysaye's equal. That any of the celebrated masters of earlier periods were his superiors seems, to them, to be outside the range of consideration. At the age of fifty-one, Eugene Ysaye brings to his endeavors a ripeness of interpretative skill, a breath of musical view which com- mand unqualified respect. His art is the perfectly matured development of what many believe to be genius; an art resting upon gifts of the lofti- est order which have been develop- ed to their approximate limit by a sincere, earnest musician whose in- tellectuality matches his great emo- tional endowments. THE PADEREWSKI OF WOMEN PIANISTS MONDAY, DECEMBER 10, '17 8:00 o'Clock Leginska, the pianistic mar- vel, stands alone as a master interpreter of rare intelligence and unbounded charm. Deli- cacy and taste, personality and temperament, coupled with un- usual creative idealism stamp this remarkable Leschetizky pupil as the foremost woman pianist of the day. Technique is one of the nec- essary attributes of a great pian- ist virtuoso, but it is no mere display of digital dexterity which wins in the case of Le- ginska. Nor is it as a mere re- producer of great thoughts by means of the piano-forte where- in her appeal rests. Leginska's key to power is an evanescent creative ability which individu- alizes each work. Leginska gives out so much of heself that she invariably arouses the in- tellectual and the emotional in the great audiences held spell- bound by her art. . Her characteristics are: Ease, tranquility, concentrated power, undeviating elegance delightful beyond telling. THE NEW YORK SYMPH- ONY ORCHESTRA WALTER DAMROSCH, Conductor WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 16, 1918 8:00 o'Clock The Symphony Society of New York is nearly forty years old and it has had but two conductors, Dr. Leopold Damrosch, the founder, and his son, Walter Damrosch, the present conductor. Dr. Leopold Damrosch was a musician of European fame, but was destined to find in the New World his field of widest activity. The Symphony Society was organized by him in 1878 and immediately took a leading place in the musical life of New York. Walter Damrosch was but twen- ty-three when he succeeded his fath- er as conductor and proved himself marvellously adapted and qualified for the work. He held his men to- gether; he produced one intricate masterpiece after another; until his public is the entire United States. For many years the orchestra was maintained by his personal efforts and popularity, until the happy day when Mr. Harry Harkness Flagler endowed the Symphony Society with $100,000 a year, the largest endowment received by any sym- phony orchestra in the world. By the matchless beauty of her art through a personality that reflects sincerity and lovableness, Julia Culp, the renowned Dutch lieder -singer, has won the profound regard of the discriminating musical public of America. Connoisseurs of artistic singing have declared that not since the days when Lilli Lehmann was in her prime have they heard such beautiful and lofty interpreta- tions of the classical art songs as Madame Culp presents at her recitals. "Julia Culp," they aver, "is in a class by herself." Pos- sessing extraordinary versatility, she sounds the gamut of emotions and she does it all without a trace of affection or exaggeration, leaving her hearers uplifted and longing to hear her again. There is something in the timbre of Julia Culp's voice that suggests eternal spring, something that grips and moves, something that in one song stirs the soul and in another awakens mirth. The Culp programs are prized by the armies of young singers, teachers and students that flock to the Culp recitals. Intelligent ama- teurs are no less enthusiastic. Though her first triumphs in this country were made by her superb renditions of German lieder, Madame Culp's repertoire includes many examples of old and modern French songs, old Italian airs, early and modern English songs.
