The second concert OF the season by
the Boston Symphony Orchestra took
place yesterday afternoon in the Ma
tiorsl Theater.
large an brilliant audience greeted
the return Of this well-known orsaniza-
ton 70 the Capital City, filing the
theater 10 the doors. and many people
stood throUsLcut the concert. The pro-
gram was an interesting one and most
capably rendered undt the able direc--
tion Of DR.. Kari Nue.. whose enthus-
iastic welcome by the audience showed
him to be a well established favOrite
with Washington music lovers.
The first number, D'Indy's ''WaIien-
stein" trilogy, has not been heard in
Washington before. aIlC on this account
was looked forward u with more than
usual interest The humber was well
received DIndy is probably the most
advanced Of the modern school Of
French composers. In thIs work he has
taken his inspiration from SchfIers S
trilogy OF dramas. .'Vallensteln's s
camp" The PiccOlomfuI." and Wal
leustein's Death and has demon
strated more than anything his pre-
eminence in brilliant 0-chesratiOn
manifesting an intense variety Of in
teresting and unusual orchestra effects
The music is descriptive throughout
holding the attention Of the audience
from start to finish
The solOist OF the afternoon was the
wel.-known pianist. IEnace PaderewskI,
who was. as usual. accorded q most en-
thusiastic welcome His playing OF Rub

ciCusly by playing two encOres. ChOpIn's

MONEY FOR DEFENSE
DUE FROM CONGRESS
Estimates for FOTtiflCatiOnS
Grow While Revenues
Fall Off Materially.

Congress waU appropriate literally Tor
fortfcaJions and other works Of de-
Tense this winter.
That is the word that comes '-om
the wise ones among the House AMI
Senate leaders. The Appropriation Con-
mittees viii have a hard problem befo .
them this session. between increased
demands for appropriations and Iessened
revenues. But st is said 10y leading
members on those committees that II
will be necessary TO deal literally with
foruGcations Generally speaking. es-
timatcs viii be pared to the lowest limit.
bat this will not be the case with the
estimates for fortihCatlOns and defenses
FOR the coasts and for the insuIav pos
sessions.
This means that Congress is feeling
the need that the Pacihc coast and the
insuiar possessions in the Pacific be
adequately fortified. Il is ominous Of the
sentiment on the part OF the public
generally, and amciE members Of con-
gress that the time has come when this
country must be prepared for eventuali-
ties on the Pacific.
The estimates sent by the War De-
partment 10 Congress this winter for
fOrtfcatiOns and other defenses amount
L. over S3S,OO0.OOO. This is a huge sum
when It is recalled that Congress last
winter appropriated but $6,S6l, $50. for
this purpose.
II Congress allows anything like the
amount asked for by the War Depart
ment for Notifications and works Of de-
fcnse, along with equipment, il will
mean that the country viii see a most
elaborate scheme Of defense wrought
out IN the Pacific. Large sums are
asked for armament Of fortifcations OF
The most modern sort, for submarine
mines and necessary appliances 10 oper-
ate them, for closing the channels lead
irE to the principal seapOrts; for sea-
coast batteries at Honolulu and Pearl
HarbOr, Hawaii. Manila, and Guauta-
namO Bay, In Cuba; for electric plants
and searchlights at the principal ports
and naval stations in the insular pos
sessions, and for submarine mines IN
the harbors Of these places: for fire
control systems in the insular posses
siOns, and for the purchase, manufac-
ture, and test Of large quantities of
seacOast cannOns for coast defense pur-
poses generally.
For the same reasons that 1t will be
difficult to cut down estimates for forti-
! hcauons in the Pacific region and es-
pecially in the insular possessions 1t
viii be hard for Congress to avoid ap-
propriatng Hberally for the increase of
the navy. The President is anxious for
IL and he has much Importing senti-
ment among both Representatives and
Senator'S.
