III American shippers observe the

will not necessarily interfere with ship
mcnts, and American European trade
will not be molested," said a high OIL
cial Of the State Department.
Assurances have been given by Great
Britain that cotton will not be regarded
as contraband, and that shipments to
Germany will be permitted but in view
of the McAdoo order it is believed that
there will be temporary detention OF
yessels carrying cotton to Europe.
Demands of American exporting in
terests were responsible for Secretary
McAdoo's order. Shipping interests
complained to the Treasury Depart
ment that the publication OF manifests
operated injuriously to the individual
shipper by acquainting business rivals
with his methods.
Negotiations are continually pro-
crossing between the State Department
and the bel,iCerent governments TO
obtain generally satisfactory defni-
ton Of principles TO govern the eXer-

ALBERT SPALDINC
AT CARNEGIE HALL

Mr.. Spalding is an American, aud there
are, therefore, those who will insist
that he deserves special consideration
in order that we may snow our patriot
ism and our courage. Probably Mr..
Spslding would scorn any such plea;
certainly he does not need il. At his
recital yesterday ne proved himself an
artist OF fine sensibilities. a musician
OF insight and understanding, a viz
tuoso who has no reason to fear COM
parison with any Of the younger Eu-
ropeans. In short. Mr.. Spaidmg, from
having been in the not far distant past
the possessor OF q somewhat immature
talent which Al times seemed 10 many
unduly forced, has by hard work and
sincerity Of expression arrived among
the ranks OF the musical elect. He is
not yet the American Tsaye--there
being 10 American fsayes-his lmaRi-
nation does not sweep him to heaven
sealing heights, nor does he sound the
depths Of sorrow; but ne IS advancing.
he is still in the first flush OF youth,
and, best Of all, he Is entirely sincere.

he showed yesterday his delight m and
understanding Of the classic style. His
bowling was broad and unaffected, his
tone round and warm but without eN-
aggeration; his poise certain, yet never
