MIR. GABRILOWITsCH CONDUCTS.

MIX. GABklLOWITSCH CONDUCIS.
Ossip Gabrilowitsch has won fame
by many paths. First he became one of
the worlds leading pianists. Later, he
shared in the reflected glory of that
great personality that was Mark Twain,
when he married the humorist's daugh-
ter Clara. At the present time, al
though he Is still heard occasionally in
solo recitals or delightful two-piano
programs with Harold Bauer, Mr..
GabrilowitSch is most noted as the ex-
ceedingly competent conductor Of the
Detroit Symphony Orchestra. During
the present season he is sharing with
two other conductors the honor of be-
ing guest conductor of that supremely
capable musical organization, the Phila-
delphia Symphony Orchestra. Mr..
GabrilowitSch made his initial appear

inverted twists and interpretations Of
simple basic themes. Simplicity is in
volved in an intricacy of design in the
four movements of this symphony that
suggests the complications of a spider
web; a glistening, ethereal piece Of
natural goSSamer texture with a gen.
eral pattern that does not seem over
subtle, but which, upon close exam
ination, reveals the very essence of
sk1lful complication. The opening bars
of the symphony's first movement have
a charm that is unadorned, but cleverly
clothed in multiple DISCUSSES later on.
This symphony, for all its length, has
a peaceful beauty and the woodwinds
are given special opportunities which
were well displayed yesterday. In his
restrained yet purposeful conducting
Mr.. Gabrilowitsch showed his artistic
musicianship. He conducted without a

Z Asked why Bolivia did not accept the

J tries, the foreign minister said that
Bolivia would not attempt to settle the

matte relations with Paraguay charging
that troops of the latter country had
crossed into territory rightfully belong
ing to Bolivia and killed Bolivian SOL
diers.
The spark of the present quarrel was
this clash on the frontier between
Paraguayan and Bolivian troops, which
took place last week. But the dispute
is one of long standing over a tract of
land called Chaco Boreal, containing
about 100000 square miles. 1t is COW
cred with jungle and virgin timber, and
recently it has been found to be under
laid with oil in large quantities.
Another source of the quarrel is Bo-
livia's desire for access to the sea. The
Paraguay River, which Is navigable for
ocean vessels along the boundary of
Chaco Boreal, would give her such ac-
cess, If she controlled that territory
Paraguay contends that Chaco Boreal
rightfully belongs to her and that she
alone is privileged to use that stretch
of the Paraguay River for commerce
An opposite claim is made by Bolivia.
