THE QUÉSEC CHRONICLE CONSIDER ART 13 SUPERFLUOUS Artistic Attainments Are Considered Of No Value In Soviet Russia (By Canadian Prem.) Winnipeg, Feb.30.\u2014All art is considered superfluous and artistic attainments have no value under the Soviet govermment of Russia, deciares Miss JAllit Gorsey, Russian prima donna soprano and former prima donna of the Odessa Municipal Grand opera, recently arrived n this city, after a series of remarkable adventures in making her tu gel the captain of à small boat plying between OUdessa and Consantinopie to hide her parents and herself on board.After a stormy voyuge, taking twice the normal time to make the journey, she reached, Constantinople and through the efforts of the British consul there was able to book passage for Canada The Bolshevtki are doing little or nothing to encourage or support art and the result is that musicians find it impossible to make a living, and are starving like everybody else.All artists are \u201cmobilized\u201d, she said, and must give their service free when asked.Miss Gorsey is a thorough musician, was a professor of planoforte in the famous Odegea conservatory, had etudied operas In Milan, held acholarships in her own conservatory for voice, plano and composition, but all that remained for her; under the new regime, was to sing and whenever the soviet asked her, either for nothing or for a little bread.She contin- ued her teaching at the conservatory, but the government has withdrawn support and it is maintained only by subscriptions of a few music lovers.The number of students remain the same, because the students now demand free tuition instead of paying heavy fees.Nowapapers, asserts Miss Gorsey.are forbidden to publish anything about music as it la considered of no importance.According to Miss Gorsey education is not considered important and professional life of all kinds is TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1922.ri ahd +4 Pr > Eve Ye PS Ee ee Ge SEEN Jd SE A © ah It is Ale has friends today than at any other time in the history of the brewery-136 years of continuous and ever-increasing popularity.The Trade Supplied by CHARLES C.LEVALLEE Agent for Molson\u2019s Brewery, Limited leasant to wagers laid with one big book-|escape from Odessa, to make her 9 : maker who makes à specialty ofl), ith a brother, Miss Gorsey, Satisfies the sweet tooth, and these double-eveut wagers; indicate who states ph artists are strictly now a oO son S that Leighton, despite his disap- \u2014aids appetite and digestion.pointing ean last year, after hia|furbidden to leave Russia, managed more 77 DALHOUSIE STREET Telephone 5245 year eunstituted a record and promises this year to eclipses that record.According to Motor Ship.Great MOTOR SHIP BUILDING INCREASES IN BRITAIN they claim, neither Humorist or|changed under the soviet.Some Craig an Eran could safely have of the most brilliant Russian given the Manton filly that day.lawyers are to be meen blacking Leighton was next heard of In the hoota or selling old books.In the \u2014 Uritain led the world in this type ç y {31 3 d | Cambridgeshire at Newmarket university, the faculties of law an 2% | A : inf ship construction, her quota of | à tu ence z £1 SL Last Year's Figures Consti-: rn.ioral number of shi Houghton last October.In spite of mathematics and natural acl 3 pe launched d - » ar rompleted in 1921 being 27.his hig weight he was confidently are abolished.Dootors and engin Free ; VE AIL TRA eers are \u201cmobilized.\u201d and have to 4 SSE ES direction.POESIE EST tuted Recar\u201d!-Expect Even expected to win this race.\u2014that is, up to two weeka prior to the event, SE 3 compared with twelve for Denmark work under government he and cieven for (lermany and 24 di.ell a victim of cough- | Government control and lack of se- More Ti I | vided between Sweden, the United | Phen he tel @ a ea \u2014 curity have killed private enter- (I'y Canadian Press.)

Jerusalem, Feb.20\u2014The Zionist organization has resurrected the old plan of constructing a 350-mile canal through Palestine as à supplement to the Suez Canal.- This project was first brought out 25 years ago by the late Duke of Sutherland but was buried unceremoniously by Sultan Abdul Hamid because of his opposition to progress.Traffic through the Suez Canal has become so congested these days that It is claimed an alternate canal route is required.Zionist leaders have become convinced that the ever expanding trade relations hetween Continental Europe and the Far Easy have reached such di- mensiuns that a canal in Palestine would fil an urgent nee and reap untold commercial benefits for Palestine.As planned by F.A.Maler, of Holland, its ardent supporter, the canal would be divided into two sections, uns of which would extend from Haifa on the Mediterranean to Afuleh, on the Lake of Tiberias, or Bea of Galilee.Then there would be an intervening part to be formed by a pro the Lake of Tiberias toward the end Sea.This would be filled with Mediterranean sea Water.Having crossed the DNead Sen the canal would begin again at Arabah at the foot of that ses and extend to Akabah at the head of the Gult of Akabah, giving access to the Red Ses.While the building of euch a canal would necessitate the submergence of a considerable tract of fertile land as well as a few towns and villages, (along the Jordan), js champions claim that the advantages Would far outbalance the lons, It ia claimed that the proposed Jordan lake would increase the hu- midty of all Palestine which now suffered from excessive heat and dryness, thus improving the climate as well as the vegetation.Also, it in amserted, the Jordon valley and the desert lying tq the east with the prairies south of Houran, owing to the increased area of water, would becoms greater centers for colonization and development.Together with these climate he- nefits must be reckoned the commercial possibilities in the scheme.Haifa might become & second Port Said, a touching place to ships of all nations.Raw materials from Europe and America so much needed for the building up of industrinl enterprises In Palestine and which now are being held back due to scarcity of calling shins, would begin to flow moro freely.Thue it in claimed, there would he opened up to the residents of Palestine great industrial opportu nities.HENRY FORD TO BID FOR U.S.BATTLESHIPS Sinking Of Doomed Vessels In Mid-Ocean Opposed By Officials Washington, Feb.20\u2014Henry Ford will be given an opportunity to bid for the American battieships to be scrapped under the naval limitation treaty it was learned at the Navy Deparamenttord recentiy announced that he was willing to bld for the American navy and break up the big ships into scrap iron.It became known that a rpeciat hoard headed by Admiral Taylor, chief naval constructor, is studying plans for scrapping ships, and that there is a strong sentiment for selling these vessels outright to con.corns which would junk them.Naval officers are said to oppose à spectacular sinking of the doomed ships in mid-ocean, helleving that tho steel can be used for peace-time purposes.While the Navy would obtain, nrohably.not over $8 a ton for the Junk.this Is regarded as better than trying te bulld up & scrapping organization within the Navy.Ford, it was sald has not yet made any bids for the ships.A number of proposals, however, have reached the Department, some of them suggest.00d deal more prevalent than is generally believed.A theory is advanced that influenza
