TOXIC, June Japan probably
will rush more troops into the
northern zones of China, semi-of1-
cial reports said today.
This action is possible in view of
the chances of imminent difficulties
outside of the great wall, these adj
vices said. The fall of Paoting-Fu
to the Nationalist leads to the be-
lief that soon there will be battling
at the very doorway to the northern
capital of Pekin.
Troops probably will be sent from
Shantung to the northern front
These will be a part of the third
division. Also it was understood
that additional Japanese military
units would be dispatched shortly
for service in Pekin, Tientsin and
in Manchuria.

darda Of living, and increased ex-
ports have been reported for the
fourth annuity year by commission
ers and trustees Of the agent general
for reparationA All reports showed
that payments due under the
Dawes plan had been met promptly
by Germany.
The trustee for German indus
trial debentures said q high level
had been reached in the output OF
German Industries. This was shown
by q reduction in unemployment
figures and the Increased export OF
finished goods The increased export
was principally Of iron and steel
and machinery.

remained a serious feature. He re-
garded 1t as satisfactory that the

today it was stronger than at any
time in the last four years.
The commissioner for German

TOO COMFORTABLE
SERGE RachmininM Refuses to
Broadcast Piano ReCitals

Paris, Dec. u N1serge Raah-
maninon. noted pianist. thinks ra-
dio makes its audience too comfort
able.
Radio Is not yet perfect enough
really TO do justice to good music"
he said. THAT is why ] have stead
lily refused to play for it. But my
chief objection IL on other grounds.
1T makes listening to music too
comfortable. You often hear peo-
pie say. Why should ] pay to sit in
an uncomfortable ssat at. concert
when l can stay at home and smoke
my pipe and put my feet on q chair
and be perfectly comfortable
Now l believe one shouldn't be
too comfortable when listening to
really great music. In order to APP
preciate good music one must be
mentally alert and emotionally re-
ceptive. You can't be that when
you are sitting at home with your
feet up on a chair.
More Strenuous
mo, listening to music II more
strenuous than that. Music is like
poetry: 1t is passion and a prob
lem: you can't enjoy and understand
it merely by sitting still and letting
1t soak into your ears.
Another thing. music Is not all
listening. The sight OF a great mas
ter playing on his instrument or an
inspired conductor leading his Or
chestra Is almost az thrilling as the
sound of music itself. Then too
there Is a powerful contagion IN
mass emotion. Naturally. this factor
is completely lacking in radio con-
certs."
