Neither on November II, nor at any

American lives needlessly wasted for

attacks from just east of the Moselle

the Mosclle to Switze rland the Allies
were unable, prior to the armistice, to
concentrate the necessary means for
the attack. Thus the French troops
holding the ines east of the Moselle
took no part in the reduction of the St..

erations of the second army4
Early in November the Allied COM

PHILHARMONIC CONCERT.

Rachmaninoff's symphonic poem, op. 20.
THE Isle Of the Dead; Tschaikovsky' S
Fourth Symphony in It minor and the
Liszt Concerto in e flat major, for piano
and orchestra, were the features of the
Philharmonic concert last night in Car
giene Hall Joseph StranslSy's readings OF
Tschaikovsky have always been popular,
and last night he was especially success
full, with the second movement and the
finale. On the whole one would suggest n
more careful rehearsal. His exaggerations
Of tempo have resulted In much blurring
of tone and line. The dramatic effect is
not heightened thereby.
| AS for Rachmaninoffs symphonic poem,
it is a dreary enough composition at best.
Mr.. Stransky does not invest 1t with imag-
NATIVE wings, nor does he bring about the
coordination of voices that might make
| its themes Ineligible.
Nine Olga Samaroff was the soloist in
the Liszt Concerto. She played it with the
technical skill and emotional fire neces-
sary. The orchestral accompaniment was
one of Mr.. Stransky's best efforts. In 9act,
the tone Of the orchestra was particularly
good throughout.
