Great Britain, like Germany, asks and answers only the question of what must be lone to win, not what ought to be done to win. The issue is not, apparently, what it is right to do, but what it is expedient to do. His majesty's government feels there is profit in interfering with the mails of neutral nations and, therefore, proceeds to obstruct, to examine and to censor them, although The Hague convention, to which ts Great Britain subscribed, specifically busisuch interference. American ness men doing business in Europe are handicapped and British business men given an unfair advantage, with the utter calmness that is the characteristic mark of British impudence. Each of the warring powers is a law unto itself. Each obeys international law only when it finds obedience convenient; each invokes international law only when its application will embarrass an enemy. Each goes just as far as its conscience will permit, judging its own acts by its own views without reference to the recognized procedure which precedent and practice have crystallized into international law and international agreements. International lawlessness has displaced international law while each of the belligerents hypocritically stands in the forum of the world, boasting of its own righteousness and calling upon t high heaven to witnessMhe wickedness of its enemies.

AN OUNCE OF PREVENTION miles rabies within thirty-si- x CASES of Lake are quite too close for comfort and the police department suggestion that owners of dogs .be required to muzzle. them, at least until the danger is past, seems but ordinary prudence. An ounce of prevention is in this case worth even more than the traditional pound of cure. While an epidemic of rahies in Salt Lake is probably not probable it is at least within the range of possibility. Flocks of sheep have been "moving from the winter to the summer ranges arid there is at least reason to be apprehensive lest dogs infected with rabies have accompanied them. The Tapidity with which the infection has spread on the desert gives an intelligent idea of the ease with which it would sweep over the city once it reached here. Efforts are being made by the state authorities to eradicate the malady and they should be given every assistance by the local officers everywhere.

Dennis of St. Paul's church THE Rev yesterday morning on the subject of "Prayer," saying in part: "Since the fifth century the church has observed certain days in the spring as rogation days, or days of special prayer for the "fruits of the earth and other temporal blessings.. "Such prayer presupposes belief in Divine Providence. This was clearly and emphatically taught by Jesus Christ. The revelation of the fatherhood of God was the revelation of Divine Providence. "But prayer for rain, air weather and other temporal blessings is objected to on the ground that God will not violate the laws of nature in the interests of human beings. But the directing and modifying of the working o. natural laws is not a violation of them, and it is certainly a part of the revelation of Christ that we may expect answers to such prayers. "Prayer is a force in the world which must be taken into account. It is difficult to discuss it with those who do not believe in it, because, first. It is an interior, private experience, and its results cannot be classified, as we classify the results of scientific investigation. And second, persons who pray are not usually the sort who boast of their experiences. The life of prayer produces a character which is not boastful. And third, persons who object to it do not pray themselves and hence have no experience of It. Jesus Christ did not argue the question. He took prayer for granted and enjoined it constantly upon His followers. "The obligation rests upon us to make all our affairs personal, social, parochial, national the subjects of prayer. 'More are wrought by prayer than this things world knows on.' "To practice prayer is to prove our faith in a ,living God. "The true Christian will make prayer the REV. CHESTER A.

OF V. with former ventures in 'the COMPARED "Aida" as given its initial at the Orpheum last night, is the performance most pretentious and most successful production by the music department of the University of Utah.. It far exceeds "La which was the offering last year, prior to which Prof. Thomas Giles marshaled the musical forces of the university in "Fagliacci" and "Cavallerla Rusticana." As one naturally may expect, there was some hesitancy at first, but In the second act all of the principals "found themselves" and the two remaining acts were given with fervor and artistic finish, so that none need hesitate to recommend this immense grand cpera production to those who contemplate attending the performance tonight or the final performance tomorrow night. Vernon Stiles In the role of Rhadames fulfilled every advance promise made regarding him. lie is the only member of the cast who comes from abroad and he Is well supported by the local members of the cast. Mr. J3tlles is imposing in physique And his big tenor voice measures up to his physique in magnificent proportion. His first aria, "Heavenly Aida," ingratiated him Instantly with the audience, which recalled him twice in proof of sincere welcome. He met every test of the opera with complacency of the true artist, and his duets with Miss Evans (Aida) in the Nile scene, when Aida pleads "Ah! fly with me"; with Mrs. Andelln (Amneris) In the next scene, when Rhadames Is begged to renounce Aida;; and again with Aida in the eftragic duo of the crypt, were particularly fective, his voice ringing true in the numerous reiterated tones pitched to B flat and the high C in the finale, which make "Aida" one of the most difficult operas for the tenor soloist. Mr. Stiles sang-hi- s role in for the first time and with elegant English diction and enunciation, demonstrating that grand opera may be made more Intelligible and more appreciable If sung in this country in the language of the country. Willard Andelin was in wide contrast in the role of high priest to the satanic requirements of Mephistopheles he so ably elucidated in "Faust," but he was fully equal to the radical change and made a most imposing figure as head of the Egyptian priesthood. Miss Edna Evans sustained' the title role with great credit, excelling her appearance as Violetta last year. Mrs. Andelln has not appeared In public for some months and not In cpera for several years, hence her return last night was received with distinct favor, her treatment of the role of Amneris gaining In assurance and vocal efficiency as the opera progressed. All other principals, Ruby, Naegll as high priestess, Howard Anderson as Amonosro, Lionel J. of Tooele as the pharaoh and Carl Stookey Samuelson as messenger fulfilled all requirements very creditaby. Miss Lucile Rogers was a positive and pleasing surprise In her ballet appearance, for which she was costumed, and the entire ballet,appropriately the juvenile especially part, was a brilliant spectacle. Supporting the voices was an orchestra of forty-fou- r musicians selected from the University orchestra and augmented by members of the Philharmonic orchestra, with Arthur Freber as concertmaster and Mrs. Edward E. McGurrin, harpist, all the musical forces being ably directed by Prof. Thomas Giles, who has abundant reason to be proud of the success attained. With the gorg3.s costumes and scenic investiture procured from tho s?an Carlo the opera was developed into cpera company a manlfice; c dramatic, spectacular and zui will take riace as ne of the highest achievements Its li. tliU line, of which Salt Lake haa so many in its history.

Cliff Thompson as Bertie was a hit. He was the personification of the unsophisticated until he came back the next morning with all the slang known to Broadway. Ferdinand Munier as Bertie's father had the house in a riot with his dancing. Miss Charlotte Treadway as the maid was chic and she received a number of encores. John C.

The theatre was well filled at the matinee but the attendance at night was light.' The presentation was 'made after months of careful preparation. A number of beautiful stage settings .were prepared by the Irving Pratt. Fifty little singing and dancing fairies under the direction of Mr. and Mrs. L. P. Chrlstensen added materially to the artistic success of the undertaking. An augmented orchestra under Squire Coop rendered the Mendelssohn music and the nocturne between acts three and four. Among the women of the company first honors went to Gladys Johnson as Puck. Miss Esther Drommerhausen as Lysander made a beautiful picture. Others deserving special mention are Meta Rasmussen as Hermia, Vera Johnson at Helena, Louise B. Lawson as Demetrius, Fay Snyder as Oberon, Jeanne Veness asHippolyta and Mrs. E. M. Husbands, who made a stately Phllostrate. Little Mildred Johnson as the first fairy was delightful. Mae C. Cutler as Titania, queen of the fairies, scored one of the hits. Among the men Charles W.
