An extension of four months in the
holiday from arms construction was on
the record today as having been agreed
to by the United States. However, the
two Ifs" that were attached to the &C
ceptance of the original truce q year
ago were being insisted upon by this
country.
In his instructions to Hugh r. Wilson,
American Minister to Switzerland, Sec
retarv Stimson directed that the League
# Nations be informed the United States
is willing for the truce to run 10 March
/. 1888. instead of November l, 1882,

Both these IFS" were attached to
American participation in the original

those delicate. gay songs Brahms
loved to write, relieved the emotional
tension.
There was one operatic aria on the
program, the "Di Provenza" from
Verdis Traviata. This aria, the
fathers plea which effectively put q
stop to his sons romance, always
carries an effect, but many times
only through its sentimental appeal.
Tibbett, however, gave 1t with dig
nifty and poignancy and finely spun
tone, arousing an enthusiastic out
burst from the audience, which in
creased with each number until long
after the closing hour of an ordi-
nary concert. In response, he sang
"Du Holder Abenstern," from Tam
hauser," with lofty sentiment.
In this and the final two English
groups which concluded the program
there were many opportunities to
show why Tibbett has gained sue
cess both in opera and the movies.
The dramatic details Of each varying
mood were stressed most refreshing
ly, allied as they were with his never
sacrificed art of singing. There
was patho5 in the Kingdom BY the
Sea-" by Somervell, and humor in
the Little Old Foolish Old Man"
which followed. There was sinister
deviltshness in the "Gargoyle of
Notre Dame (Underhart) and
childishly simple faith in the imagi-
nary Creole Ave Marie, "Mam'selle
Marie" Of David Guion and all the
abandon of darky religious revival
in the "Hallelujah," by Wolfe. which
was sung in place of the same au-
thors DE Glory Road"
At the end of the printed program
the mood of both audience and per-
former was SO happy that Tibbetts
delving into the treasure box of his
encores could have continued indef1-
nitely. In order not to disappoint
any one he gave de Glory ROAD" :"
which had been printed by mistake,
and then On through q variety of
encores that brought little gasps Of
delight when they were announced.
Stewart Willie, accompanist, to
whom no higher compliment can be
paid than to say he and Tibbett
were as one, showed his individual
artistry in two piano soil, white

brought out n its atmosphere Of
