"Through ail those years I have been engaged in this work,*' said Mrs. Talbot today, “1 have concentrated on bringing about the establiahment of a home for music, and a great permanent orchestra for Indianapolis <and Indiana, and the proapecte now seem brighter than ever before. The realisation which I confidently expect, would come after twenty-five years of earnest effort along that line.

The opera In which Mr. Scott! and his company appear is entirely new to the people of this part of the world, although well known to audiences of New York. The work "L'Crmeolo,” is one which the barytone has made particularly his own, and one which created a remarkable sensation at the time of Its production three years ago. In It Mr. Scottl has a part which involves all his dramatic skill. It is generally acknowledged by his colleagues that he is the greatest singing actor, but in the matter of marvelous workmanship there has been nothing to touch this role. -Mr. Scottl has gathered a very fine company of aMistlng artiste; Florence Easton, Orville Harrold.

For the May Festival. For the last few years there has been heard In the opera houses of Italy a young woman whose marvelous contralto voice and absolutely superb art have completely captured her public. Gabriella Besanzonl did not have to knock kt the gates of the opera houses
in this country.
Her engagements have come to her absolutely unsought. She arrived here quite unheralded. In fact, she merely intended stopping over in New York for a few days while on her way to Mexico to fulfill her engagement there with the Del Rivero opera company, but engagements both with the Metropolitan and the Chicago opera companies appeared almost simultaneously. Arthur Rubinstein who will appear at the festival as co-star with Besanzonl

He immediately established himself ss an. artist of the first rank by his superlative performance In the leading role of Nlclas. in “Thais” with Geraldine Farrar, and in the leading tenor role of “Le Coq d’Or,” by Rtmsky-Karsakow. The famous aria from this opera will be programmed for the Indianapolis engagement. So great has been the success of the young American tenor and so uniform the enthusiasm of the press and public that he has been re-engaged for

NEW GERMAN ARMY PLANS
Hindenburg Supplanted and Eastern
Front Command Shifted.
WITH THE AMERICAN FORCES IN GERMANY, August 2 (correspondence of the Associated Press).—According to information In the hands of American army officers it appears that the retirement of Field Marshal Hindenburg, announced some time ago, and the simultaneous dissolution of the German army general headquarters early In July, does not mean the end of a single command on the eastern front. A new high command for the eastern front has been established to take the place
of the general headquarters.
The German general headquarters was moved to Kolberg on the Baltic in the spring and exsrclsed command only over the six corps district along the eastern front. An order of ths national war ministry, dated July 17. says »htt in place of the dissolved general headquarters there has been created the “Kommandostelle " —

SEARCHES FOR HOARDED FOOD AT PHILADELPHIA.
FAITH IN THE LEVER BILL
PHILADELPHIA. August lG.~Attor-ney-General Palmer, after a conference here with United States District Attorney Kane, issued a statement promising vigorous prosecution of all food profiteers, large or small. “As a result of the action considered today," said Mr. Palmer, “the price of food in Philadelphia will be decreased to a marked extent within a short time. ‘The Lever bill will be made applicable to the smallest retailer by congress within a week. A severe penalty will be attached to the bill, wmen will make it dangerous business for tne small
- - n
dealer to charge unreasonable prices.
Reason for His Visit
Before the conference Mr. Palmer said it had come to his attention that immense quantities of foodstuffs are being held in storage in Philadelphia and nearby cities. This, he explained, is one of the reasons for his visit. “Every state in the Union Is co-opera tiug with Washington in tne high cost of living probe,” said Mr. Palmer. “This is a vital question and 1 want to know what has been done in Philadelphia. We want to get results the same as we have got results from dozens of other states and cities. It will not be difficult to bring about the release of hoarded food and to punish every one guilty of viola-
tion of the law.
Rentals Have Jumped.
•The various states will have to take up the rent profiteering question. We are regulating the evil in Washington and we hope to establish a just system shortly which all the states can use as a model. Cases have come to my attention where the rentals have jumped 160 per cent over night, even though the cost of maintaining the property had not increased. Conditions are bad throughout the country, I am informed,
