TRYING TO INDUCE
CARRANzA TO YIELD
Arredondo Said to Have Gone to
Urge Chief Not to Insist on
Troop Withdrawal.

Mexican Ambassador Arredondo, now
comforting with General Carranza in
Mexico City. Is trying to persuade him
not to instruct the Mexican commission
ers to insist upon an immediate with
drawal of the American troops from
Mexico. This was the purpose OF his
trip to Mexico CITY according to private
advices from there today from authori-
tative quarters.
Before leaving for Mexico City, Arro-
dondo conferred, in New York with
Mexican Commissioner Luis Cabrera
Cabrera told Arredondo that he and his
colleagues had proposed the immediate
withdrawal Of the American troops, and
the American commissioners had replied
there could be no action on that ques-
the economic --oblems OF Mexico, In
Guiding the status of foreign property.
Both Arredondo and the Mexican COM
missioners knew that Carranza was i'm
patient over tn delay In agreeing on
the troop withdrawal, and might send
an ultimatum to the commission II an
agreement were not reached soon.
Realizing the danger Of such a move
to the peaceful solution of the difficult
ties between the two countries, Are
dondo hurriedly decided to go to Mexico
rama, and use his influence to prevent
such action.
1t is understood that Arredondo and
the Mexican commissioners are doing
everything possible TO prevent n break
up OF the commission and to reach an
agreement before the United States
Presidential elections.

called from the scene OF his trlumpns
In the Caucasus to command the Rus
So Roumanian drive against Bulgaria,

Roumanian forces operating In Do
brudja and on the Danube. He may act
as an adviser OF the 'Roumanian COM
manders in Transylvania.
The Stockholm report, az yet uncon-
firmed. from Petrograd, aroused the
greatest interest here because OF the
renewal OF heavy fighting in The Hal
kans, both on the Roumanian frontier
and In Macedonia.
The arrival OF the Grand Duke on the
Rouma MAN border, II Ii believed, will
be the signal for the d-barreled
allied offensive to crush Bulgaria and
close the Austro-German road TO Con-
stantlnople.

distinct victories for the Russo Rou-
ma nians In the new offensive In Dob

that ever attended a public sale, and
the interest was maintained from the

last one was sold to-day-somethlng
quite unusual in auction sales. The
average prices were higher than III
other sales, for the reason that others
did not contain so many unusual OBJ

OF SONG
ENJOY RECITALS
IN FOUR HALLS
Nine. Julia Cup, George Ham,
lin, Edna Mampel and Ed
ward Bromberg Heard

Besides the other musical events yes
terday, there were no less than four
song recitals, three in the afternoon
and one in the evening.
Little new can be said IL praise OF
the art OF Nine. Julia Culp. The Dutch
soprano returned 70 US yesterday at
Carnegie Hall and delighted very
fair-sized audience with an exhibition
Of her talent at its highest. Her voice
was in excellent condition, and her
power Of expression, her command OF
tone color, her delicacy and just ap-
probation were most excellent.
Nine. CUPS German songs were by
Schubert, Cornelius and Brahms, and
to these she added a French group
which included Debussys Mutt
d'Ttoiles." la Chere Maison," by
Jacques Dalcroze, Massenets "Serenade
d'Espagne" and MSssenet's petite
Fleur de Bots" Nine. CUP again brought
out the pious wish that some of our
operatic singers m ght attend her re-
citals often and study her singing as
siduouslyl
George Hamlin is an old friend and
an excellent artist. His voice IS not
one Of any great sensuous beauty or
charm. but he uses it intelligently and
always gives an afternoon of pleasure
Such was the case yesterday at Aeollan
Hall. He opened his programme with
an old English group, which included
Purcell's well-known "I'll Sail Upon the
Dog Star" and two less remembered
songs a lullaby by Storage and Leve-
ridges Good Advice"
Mr. Hamlin was well at home in the
STYLE required for these songs, and his
diction was excellent He followed
this with Strauss group and songs by
Bruneau, Pierne and GODDARD. All Mr..
Hamlin gave with careful attention TO
mood and meaning, though there were
moments when richer tone might have
been desired.
The third afternoon recital was given
by Edna Mampel, contralto, at the Com
edy Theatre. Miss Mampel in group
of Schubert songs displayed intelli-
gence. a sense of style and excellent
vocal production. Her voice itself was
small and possessed little color.
In the evening Rumford Hall held a
song recital by Edward Bromberg, a
Russian basso-cantante. Mr.. Bromberg
is remembered pleasantly from last
year, and he repeated last night the
excellent impression he then made.
Especially interesting was his group of
Russian folk songs, which he sang in
their original tongue and sang them
with true feeling and spontaneity. lie
was rather less successful in Alessan-
dro Stradella's "Pieta. Signore," due,
perhaps, to nervousness.
Mr.. Bromberg's voice is not large,
but in its medium and upper regions il
is unusually clear and expressive. He
is q sincere artist and ought TO win a
place for himself in the world Of in
innate song.
