POSTPONED Its Tour

Philadelphia, Sept. P-The
Philadelphia symphony orchestra has
postponed indefinitely its proposed
tour of Europe next summer, the
board of directors announced today.
The tour, which had been under con-

symphony series here in May, 1927.

condition In Europe and the fact
that some European capitals are not
at this time entirely friendly to
American institutions.

Miss Austral has a phenomenal

In operate aria she also gave
the "Ritorna Vincitur" from Verdi's
Aida" in which the vocal excel

she failed ito grasp the pathos and
the inner tragedy OF the aria.
This, in marked degree, is the
lack of this artist. She sings well,
but the essence of a song recital
needs also the psychology OF the
songs to make them great.
The brilliancy, almost shrill force
OF the Strauss ''Zuefgnung," and
also her complete lack of under.

idiomatic syncopation of the Ger

most ingratiating individuality. No

Major U. S. Grant. 3rd.. executive
officer OF the Arlington Memorial

day on a memorandum to Comp
troller General ]. r. McCarl, in
which he will give the comptroller
further information regarding the
contracts drawn up by the COM
mission for architectural and en-
cheering services in connection
with the construction of the bridge.
The contracts were drawn up
last fall under the direction of
Lieutenant Colonel C. o. Sheriff.,
then. executive officer Of the bridge
commission.
Recently the comptroller general
ruled that the contracts were not
legal under existing laws.
Major Grant hopes, through the
presentation Of further evidence, to
persuade the comptroller general
that the contracts are legal, or at
least that only minor changes need
to be made.
II the comptroller still rules
against the contracts, Major Grant
will probably appeal to Congress for
