Villa Must Be Ended
(By International News Service.)
WASHINGTON, April 26.~OfMcials
here base all of their hopes for the|
future of relations between the
United States and Mexico on the out.
tome of the conference about to be
held. between Major General Scott,
chief of staff of the American army,
and Genera! Obregon, Mexican War
Minister. ;
On account of Gemeral Scott's apti
tude as a diplomat and previous suce
Ceas in conducting negotiations with
the Mexicans, officials belleve he will
be able to obtain as satisfactory as
surances from Obregon as anyone can.
General Scott's Instructions from
Washington will. however, require
firmness as well as tact in dealing
With the Mexican Whr Minister.
Obregon will be told very frankly that
the present mission In Mexico will not
be considered concluded until either
the Americans or the forces of the de
facto Government have captured Villa
or forever ended his power. The Mex
dcan general will be told further that
the capture of Villa will be a condition
Precedent to the withdrawal of the
American expedition.
Moreover, Genera! Obregon will be
to understand that the forces of
de facto Government must guat
that there will be no recurrence
border ralds such as have men
ated the American frontler for the
| five years. General Scott is like
to use some very plain language
: ng the character of the “co
mfion" from Carranza soldiers
S thus far during General Persh.
g-‘expodmon may be described as
3 erence, downright hostility and
Areachery. Obregen will be made to
Mnderstand that if his forces do not
';Mle the United States must go
St alone until the object of the punitive
mttbn has been accomplllged.

of the Empire Life Insurance Com
pany in Augusta will be relieved of
$250,000 labllities outstanding against
it and will be completed at once by
Augusta financiers, Including . Jacob
Phinizy and others, as the result of an
order passed Wednesday by Judge W,
D. Ellis, in Superior Court.
Permission of the court to resume
and complete work on the skyscraper
at this time was asked by Attorneys
Robert C. and Philip H Alston, repre
senting the State Insurance Depart
ment, because of the present demand
in Augusta for office space as created
by the recent disastrous conflagra
tion. The matter had been taken up
by the Insurance Department with a
number of Augusta, capitalists, who
agreed to take over the proposition
and formed themselves into a build
ing company.
The liabilities against the bullding,
that will be paid by the new company,
represent a number of large claims,
Including that of the contractors, the
Whitney Company, of New York.
This company was represented in the
hearing before Judge Ellis by Attor
ney Alex . King. Attorney Albert
Howell, In behalf of certain of the
policyholders, opposed the Plan as
Presented Ly the Insurance Depart
ment, although he agreed that now is

Auditorium Throng to Have Op
portunity of Hearing Edith
Mason, Soprano. -
By CHARLES HENRY MELTZER.
Tonight Atlanta should have the
!pleasure of hearing Miss Edith Ma
80n, young American soprano, for the
| first time in opera.
She will be the Lisa in the perform
ance of “La Sonnambula,” a part too
‘small, perhaps, to give one more than
a faint notion of the real merit and
great promise of the artist.
High hopes are built upen Miss
Mason at the Metropolitan. Her voice
is of uncommon beauty, well trained
and very agreeable as to quality. In
New York Miss Mason has sung
prominent roles, among them that of
Sophle, in “Der Rosenkavalier.”
In a little talk at the hotel at which
she is stopping, Miss Mason told me
some of her experiences, .

{of 7, I first heard an opera. After at.

posed my plan. But I held firm ahd

Story of *Aida; the |
~OperaonThursday.
Verdi’'s glowing opera, “Aida,”
has twice been surng here, and no
work in all the Metropolitan's
repertoire has proved more pop-~
ular. It served to introduce Ca
ruso in the first Metrppolitan
season, and he sang that night to
more than 7,000 persons, ti%e rec
ord audience still, for after that
night the fire regulations pre
vented standing in the aisles. It
was repeated in 1912, with the
house, filled to capacity.
“Alda’” represents the height of
Verdl's skill in writing colorful
and dramatic music. He had out
grown his love for the purely
lyric, melodious works typified by
his “Trovatore,” and it was yet
sixteen years before he was to
compose the more classic “Otello”
that he was commissioned by the
Viceroy of Egypt to prepare a
work for the opening of the new
opera house in Cairo. Naturally,
the composer chose an Egyptian
theme, and it gave him oppor
tunity for Oriental magnificence
in music and in stage settings, It
is a “big” opera in seyeral senses,
presented with opulence of scen
ery and ecostuming, filled with
“big” scenes and martial glory,
and overflowing from curtain to
curtaln with glowing vocal gems
for individual singers, ,uet-, trios
and quartets
Aida (soprano), the daughter of
Amonasro (baritone), King of
Ethiopia, has been captured and
is held as a slave at the court of
Egypt at ancient Memphis. She
has won the love of Rhadames
(tenor), a young soldier, who in
turn is loved by the Princess Am
neris (contralto), who becomes
furiously jealous.
The Return of the Captives.
Rhademes, made commander of
the army and sent on an expedi
tion, returns with rrany Ethiopian
captives, among them Amonasro,
who concealg his identity, but is
racognized by his daughter. The
King (basso) bestows his daugh
ter upon the reluctant Rhadames.
Amonasro forces Alda to persuade
her lover to betray his country,
and they plan a flight together,
but Amneris overhears the lovers
and denounces them.” Rhadames
is condemned by the high priests
to be buried alive, and he is sealed
in a vault below the tempgle. As
the stone Is laid in place, Aida,
who has concealed herself in the
tomb, reveals herself to her lover,
and they suffocate in each other's
arms.
The curtain rises without an
overture, revealing a great hall in
the palace. Rhadames‘and Ramfis
(basso), the High Priest, are re
vealed, and almost immediately
the tenor begins the great aria,
“Heavenly Aida,” which late
operagoers will miss. Amneris
enters, and then Aida, and there
follows the trio, “Alas! The Cry
of War I Hear.”
said:
A martial a?mlr;(nnnounmn the
on of the King and his
tmihn recelve a messenger
from the front. He announces
that the Ethiopians have invaded
Egypt. Rhadames is appointed
commander of the army, present
ed with a silken banner by the
Princess, and the King, Aida and
Amneris join in a stirring trio
urging Rhadames to guard
“Nile’s Sacred Shores.” All de
part but Alda, who begins her
aria, in which love for Rhadames
and fear for her father battle
with each other. It is' called
“Return Victorious,” and when it
is finished she is overpowered
with emotion. Recovering, she
sings the appealing “Sacred
Names,” indicative of her ton
flicting love for father and lover,
and the curtain falls,
The second scene reveals an
altar in the Temple of Vulcan,
where the priests and priestesses
have gathered to bless the army.
Behind the scenes is heard a
chant of praise to the Goddess
Ptah. Ramfis and Rhadames
Join in the duet, with chorus,
“God, Guardian and Avenger,”
the young soldier is presented
with the sacred armor, and the
curtain falls on the mystic dance
of the priestegses.
Act 11 opens upon a hall in the
apartments of the Princess Am
neris, with her slaves adorning her
to receive Rhadames, about to re
turn in triumph from the wars. The
ballet is introduced here for a mo
ment. Aida, the slave, approaches,
and she and Amneris give a series
of duets, in which Amneris gloats
over the slave-girl's love for the
hero and dwells upon her ap
proaching marriage, and Aida
sings of her love and her renun
clation. The blending of soprano
and contralto is beautifully con
trived.
A Splendid Scene.
The second scene of Act II is
one of the most ornate and gplen
did in all opera. It is outside the
walls of Thebes, and the King and
his court await the entrance of
the victorious army. A thrilling
chorus is sung, and there enter
the Egyptian troops, preceded by
trumpeters, dancing_xifls and im
ages of the gods. he two bands
are playing the famous Triumph
al March, and ithadames. the con
queror, is borne in under a cano-
Py to recelve the plaudits of the
people. The ballet has its most
important scene here,
The captives enter, and at once
Aida recognizes her father, the
King of Ethiopla. He signals to
her not to betray his rank, .and
passes for an ordinary soldier. A
fine quartet for the principals be
gins here, with Amonasro plead
ing for h's fellows, Alda and Rha
dames urging mercy, and . the
priests demanding death for all
the captives. The King ylelds to
the appeal for mercy, and frees
all the prisoners but Aida's fa
ther He then bestows the hand
of Amneris upon Rhadames, and
the curtain falls upon one of the
most splendid climaxes which
Verd! has written.
Act IIT reveals moonifght on the
banks of the Nile, the Metropoli
tan providing a beautiful setting.
-WEDNESDAY, APRIL 26, 1916.
The Temple of Isis stands be
~neath the palms, and from it soar
~ the voices of women, chanting a
~ hymn of praise, “O Thou Who Art
of Osiris.” There enter Rha
dames and Amneris, who go int,
the temple together, and then
Aida, her face concealed by a veil,
She sings here the despairing.
~ appealing aria, “Oh, My Native
Land,” one of the most brilliant
numbers of the opera.
| Here enters Amonasro, who
tells Alda that his people have
risen, and urges her to persuade
Ritadames to reveal his plan of
campaign, so that the Ethiopians
may take advantage of his plgxs.
Aida refuses. They have three
duets in succession, including the
famous “Thou Shail‘t See Once
More the Balmy Forests™ and
“Up, Then! Rise and Destroy.”
Aida is ovecome and consents to
betray her lover. - .
Repulsed by Aida.
Rhadames enters and endeavors
to embrace Aida, but she repulses
him. He protests that he loves
« her and not Amneris, and the
slave girls begs him to flee from
the country with her. He con
sents, and reveals the plan of
campaign, which, to his horror,
is overheard by Amonasro, They
are about to flee together when
Amneris, who has been concealed
behind a pillar, rushes in and de
nounces them. Rhadames is ar
ested, while Ajda and her father
make their escape.
Act IV opens with a room in
the palace with Amneris in de
spalir, for she is ton between love
and vengeance. She orders Rha
dames brought before her, and
offers to save him if he will give
up Aida. He refuses, and their
duet is exceptionally beautiful.
Rhadames is led to the. room of
judgment, while Amneris and
Ramfis, with a chorus, sing “Ah,
Death Approaches.” As the
priests cross the hall the repent
ant Princess voices a despairing
appeal for mercy, while the
priests solemnly answer that
Rhadames’ doom is beyond re
call.
The final scene is a unique set
ting, the floor of the Tempie be
ing above the stage, while the
vault below also is shown. Above
the priests and priestesses are
chanting, and below in the semi
darknes; Rhadames is walting
~ for the last stone to be cement
~ed into his tomb. He begins the
~ great duet, most wonderful of all
Verdi's gifted creations, *“The
| Fatal Stone.” He sings of his love
for Aida, and as he singg a voice
is heard in the farther recesses
of the tomb. It is the voice of
Alda!/She has crept into the vault
to die with her lover, and their
voices blend in the lovely, haunt
ing ‘“Farewell, O Earth.” Tha
Final curtain falls,
