church. List employs it to represent
the Christian army bringing it in con-
trast with the wild noise Of the Huns
IN his musical picture of the battle
and making it a celebration of the
triumphant outcome. 1t is sung first
by the trombones and other wind in
struments and finally joined in by the
organ. Mr.. Damrosch has conceived
ehe idea of giving the melody with the
words to the choir. The second part
OF the programme will embrace a
Peace Hymn Of the Republic" words
Dy Or. Henry Van Dyke, music by Mr..
Damrosch, in which the audience will
also be invited to participate; the Dead
march from Hendel's "Saul," the
chorus "Sce, the Conquering Hero
Comes" from Judas Maccabaeus." and
portion of the "Tc Deum" COMPOSED
by Mr.. Damrosch in honor of Admiral
Dewey and the victory in Manila Bav
IN 1898 In this the solo singers will
be Olive Kline, Emma Roberts, Lam
pert Murphy and Arthur Middleton.
The entire "Tc Deum" was performed
at concert of the Oratorio Society on
December 8, 1898. In it Mr.. Damrosch
employs the melody of "The Star
Spangled Banner" as a countcrnoint
for the trumpets
The "Benedictus" Of Beethoven,s
Mass will precede the choral symphony
IN the brace of concerts on March 10
and 10, the solos in both comnositions
being sung by Florence Hinkle With
erspoon, Emma Roberts, Reed Miller
and Arthur Middleton. In connection
with the announcement of this nor
torrance of Beethoven's symphony II
cannot be amiss to state that the same
work Is set down for celebration
under the auspices of the Society of
the Friends of Music, on April IL
under the direction of Mr.. Bodanzkv
Concerning this apparent conflict of
purposes an officer of the Society of
the Friends of Music writes an ex-
PLANTATION to The Tribune. She saws:
The society had decided to give Bee
thoven's 'Missa Solemns' this sprinp
in honor of the soldiers and sailors of
the United States month or 50
after this decision Mr.. Damrosch nm
nounced that the Oratorio Society,"
would give it in March We thought
1T would be unpleasant for them and
LOT us-the reasons are obvious-so
we changed our programme to the
Adagio from the 'Eroica' followed bv
the Ninth Symphony. Our purpose is
to make the concert nationwide nv
asking other orchestras through the
country to join with us on the same
day and hour; and our letters asking
them to join US were sent out at once
Three days after our decision 10 give
the above programme Mr.. Damrosch
also elected to give the Ninth SYM
phony. Our letters had gone; we
could not change again; the other or
chestras arc joining us; there is moth
ing further to be done. I have ex-
planned to Mr.. Damrosch that it Is not
a question of rivalry or desire To he
but curious coincidence. |
So l am hoping the press will not at
tempt to discredit our concert on this
score" 1t Is not likely that the lovers
Of Beethoven's music will be greatly
distressed by the fact that they are
to be privileged to hearsthc D minor
symphony three times instead Of twice.

are contrary 10 this league are to be
abrogated. The secret treaty has
been a fruitful source OF wars, as we
all know. and IL all treaties can be
opened before the world one OF the
greatest causes OF wars and dis
agreements in the future will be
thereby removed.
What is another promise made in
this league by each nation adhering
10 it? II is a promise in Article X
TO respect and preserve the political
independence and the territorial in
tegrity of every member OF the
league. That promise is the very
cornerstone OF the league That
guarantee Of political independence
to every member and guarantee Of
territorial integrity against outside
aggression is the thing that makes
the league desirable TO the mem
bers that go into it. 1t means Sc
curity and safety for the members
II is a guarantee which is OF ire
mendous advantage TO every mem
Der of the league and with the
united strength of all OF them it Is
of tremendous potency.
Reduction of Armaments.
Another promise made by each
member joining this league is that
it will reduce ornaments. Now this
promise should be distinguished
from a promise to reduce the milf
tary force, 10 reduce the number or
trained men. 1t has nothing TO do
with universal training, il has moth
ing to do with the size Of the army
necessarily, but it does reduce these
features of military strength which
take time tO create.
Sudden wars have been the bane
Of the world. They have only been
possible when nations have accumu-
lated great supplies of munitions Of
war when they have constructed
great works like Krupps at Essen
in Germany, where through years
and years of time, great quantities
of artillery have been built and
enormous ornaments created ready
for the sudden mobilization of the
army or the sudden starting of
war Each nation joining this
league promises to cooperate in re-
y
| doing so it agrees that the executive
| council shall advise and propose to
the various nations the size of the
armament which they ought to have
or the reduction which they ought
to make.
Council Cannot Dictate.
I want TO draw particular atten-
tion TO this because some of the
most bitter antagonism to this
league has been upon the theory
! that the executive council or the
/ league itself proposes TO dictate to
| the United States how much OF an
army it should have or how much
armament ii should have. All that
| the executive council does is to pro-
/ pose 10 the various nations. mem
| bers of the league. what amount Of
/ armament they should have, and
that proposal does not go into effect
/ until it is formally adopted by the
| various nations. That means that
| before it becomes binding upon the
United States, congress must give
its approval TO the change or to the
limitation. We have been told that
this was a surrender of our SOW
ereignty, that the constitution vest
! ed in congress the decision of these
matters and that the league. was
