tome of the econference about to be
held between Major General Scott,
chief of staff of the American army,
and General Obregon, Mexican War
Ministe;
On account of General Scott's aptl
tude as a diplomat and previous suc
cess in conducting negotiations with
the Mexicans, officials ‘belleve he will
te 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
Qbregon 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
lcan general will be told further that
the capture of Villa will be a condition
precedent to the withdrawal of the
American expedition,
Moreover, General Obregon will be
flven to understand that the forces of
he de facto Government must guar
antee that there will be no recurrence
of border raids such as have men
the American frontier for the
t five years. General Scott is like
to use some very plain language
foncerning the character of the “co
operation” from Carranza soldiers
Which thus far during General Persh
‘s expedition may be described as
ifference, downright hostility and
cthery. Obregon will be made to
Snderstand that if his forces do not
so-operate the United States must go
alone until the ohject of the punitive
ition has been accomplished.

TLONDON, April 26.—~When the sec
ond secret session of Parllament con
vened today the Irish question was
taking equal importance with con
scription. ,
A statement issued early today by
the press bureau as to the proceed
ings of the first secret session, says
that unless §O.OOO married men have
enlisted by May 27 conseription wili
be extended. At the same time Pre
mior Asquith announced that boys of
18 would be drafted If it is neceasary
to broaden the conscription measure,
;ll'ha following is the statement, In
full:
“At the secret session Premier As
quith stated that the reerufting fig
ures up to date are short of the re
auirements necessary to our proper
military efforta. The Government has
determined upon three proposals:
“1. Prolongation of the war service
time of time-expired men,
“2. The empowering of the military
to transfer territorials to any unit
where they are needed,
“3. The rendering cf cnm:tod men
to ba llable to service immediately at
the exgiration of their certificates of
exemption,
“With a view to the ultimate addi
tion of the forces, the Government
proposes to conseript youths under 18
on Augkust 15 ax soon as they have
reached the age of 18,
“Premier Asquith also stated that
the Government, recounining the nec.
essary number of unavallable service.
tUme men required under the present
Arrangments, agreed upon an imme
diate effort to obtakn men by volun
tary enlistment of unattested married
men. If on May 27 50000 of these
men have not been mr‘ by direct
enlistment Parliament oW forthwith

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
son, voung American soprano, for the
first time in opera.
She will be the liisa in the perform
ance of “L.a 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 upon Miss
Mason at the Metropolitan. Her volce
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
Sophie, in “Der Rosenkavalier,”
In a little talk at the hotel at which
she is stopping, Miss Mason told me
some of her experiences.
“I am a St. Louis girl,” sald Miss
Mason. *“lt was there that, at the age
of 7, I first heard an opera. After at
tending a performance of ‘Trovatore’ I
told my father and mother that I had
quite resolved some day to hecome a
singer. When I grew older, they op
posed my plan., But I held firm and
went abroad to study musie.
“In Paris T studied under that won
derful Frenchman, Edmond Clement,
the tenor—well remembered in New
York by his beautiful singing of such
parts as Werther and the des Grieux
of Massenet's ‘Manon.” I was his only
pupil, by the bye—a great honor.
“On my return I was engaged by
Mr. Henry Russell and sang leading
roles at the Boston Opera House—
among them. Nedda. Then, however,
I was known as Edith Barnes.
“It was in Chicago that I got my
chance of joining the Metropolitan
Company. Mr John C. Schaeffer
heard me rehearsing there for a con
cert. He persuaded me not to appear,
and introduced me to Mr. Gatti-
Casazza. who, on engaging me, said
he thought it would be better for me
to change my name.
“Till this season I had never sung
German. My taste and training both
incline me to prefer French and Ttal
ian I have s‘udied quit: a number
of Italian and French roles. And 1
am always hoping that Mr. Gatti-
Casazza will add some French operas
to the Metropolitan repertoire. The
public, T am sure, is longing to hear
them no less than I am.”

dory of “Aida; the
~OperaonThursday
Verdi's glowing opera, “Aida,”
has twice been sung here, and no
work in all the Metropolitan's
repertoire has proved more pop
ular. It served to introduce Ca
ruso in the first Metropolitan
season, and he sang that night to
more than 7,000 persons, the 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.
“Aida’” represents the height of
Verdi’'s skill in writing colorful
and dramatic musie. He had out
grown his lové for the purely
Iyric, 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 preépare a
work for the opening of the new
opera house in €airo. 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"Sßeveral senses,
presented with opulence of scen
ery and costuming, filled with
“big” scenes and martial glory,
and overflowing from curtain to
curtain with glowing vocal gems
for individual singers, diets, trios
and quartets
Aida (soprano), the daughter of
Amonasro (baritone), King of
Ethlopia, hags 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 hy the Princess Am
neris (contralto), who becomes
furiously jealous.
The Return of the Captives.
Rhadames, male commander of
the army and sent on an expedi
tion, returns with many Ethiopian
captives, among them Amonasro,
who conceals his identity, but is
recognized by his daughter. The
King (basso) bestows his daugh
ter upon the reluctant Rhadames.
Amonasro forces Aida to persuade
her lover to bhetrav his country,
and they plan a flight together,
but Amnerls 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 temple., As
the stone is laid in place, Alda,
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 Ramfls
(basso), the High Priest, are re
vealed, and almost immediataly
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 strain announces the
entrance of the King and his
guards, who receive 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 Aida, 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,” indicativ%’lof her con
flicting love for father and lover,
and the curtain falls,
The second scene reveals an
altar in the Temple ofg 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 Rhadame;
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 priestesses.
Act II opens upon a hall in the
apartments of the Princess ain
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 apt
proaching marriage, and Aida
sings of her love and her rentin
ciation. The blending of soprano
and contralto is beautifully con
trived.
A Splendid Scene.
The second scene of Act IT is
one of the most ornate and splen
did in all opera. It is outside the
walls of Thebes, and the King and
his court await the egtrance of
the victorious army. R thrilling
chorus is sung, and there enter
the Egyptian troops, preceded by
trumpeters, dancing girls and im
ages of the gods. The two bands
are playing the famous Triumph
a] March, and Rhadames, the con
queror, is borne in under a cano
py to receive 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 he
gins here, with Amonasro plead
ing for his fellows, Aida and Rha
dames uarging mercy, and the
priests demanding death for all
the captives. The King yields 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
Verdi has written.
Act IIT reveals moonlight on thes
banks of the Nile, the Metropoli
tan pro\'idlng a beautiful setting.
WEDNESDAY, APRIL 26, 1916.
The Temple of Isis stands be- 3
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 inte
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 briiliant
numbers of the opera.
Here enters Amonasro, whe
tells Aida that his people have
risen, and urges her to persuade
Rhadames to reveal his plan of
' campaign, so that the Bthiopians
may take advantage of hig plans,
Aida refuses. They have three
duets in succession, including the
famous ‘“Thou Shalt See Onece
More the Balmy Forests” and
“Up, Then! Rige and Destroy,”
Aida is ovecome and consents to
betray her lover, v
Repulsed by Aida.
Rhadames enters and endeavors
- to embrace'AJda, but she repulses
him. He prdtests that he loves
her and not Amneris, ang the
slave gifls begs him to fles from
the country with her. He con
sents, and reveals the plan of
- campaign, wHich, to hisg 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 -
ested, while Aida and her father
make their escape.
Act TV opens with a room in
the palace with Amneris in de
spair, for she is ton between love
and vengeance. She orders Rha.
dames brought before her, ang
offers to save him if he will give
up Aida. He refuses, and their
duet is exceptionally beautifyl
Rhadames is led to the room of
~ judgment, while Amneris ang
Ramfis, with a chorus, sing kb,
Death Approaches.” As the
priests cross the hall the repent .-
ant Princess voices a despairing
appeal for mercy, while {ha
priests solemnly answer that
Rhadames’ doom is beyond re
call.
' The final scene is a unique set
ting, the floor of the Temple ba
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 lis waiting
for the last stone to be cement.-
ed into his tomb. He begins thae
great duet, most wonderful of all
Verdi's gifted . creations, ‘“The
~ Fatal Stone.” He sings of hisdove
for Aida, and as he sings a voice
is heard in the farther recesses
of the tomb. It is the voice of
Aida! She has crept into the vanlt
to die with her lover, and their
voices blend in the lovely, haunt
ing “Farewell, O Earth.” The
Final curtain falls,

Pet for Grant Zoo
J. O. Cochran, general manager of
parks, Wednesday told of having ob.
tained a wonderful pet bear for the
Grant Park Zoo. It has a silky black
coat of hair, weighs 550 pounds and was
a much-loved pet of its former master,
4 man in Florida.
‘“‘Are yobh going to treat him as a

‘“He was the other man's pet,” Mr
