University will give the second

Philadelphia Symphony Orches-
ira to washington next season,
Eugene Ormondy "a lieutenant Of
the late "Roxy"), will bring four
Of the worlds greatest artists as
assisting artists, one appearing at
each concert he will conduct.
Josef Hoffman,, pianist, will be
the Soloist with the Philadelphia
Symphony Orchestra for the first
concert here october n. Hoffman,
has just celebrated ibis fiftieth an
niverSary as q concert pianist.
Rachmaninoff, who will appear
with the Orchestra later In the
season, is quoted as saying, 1.-THE
greatest living pianist today is
Josef Holman, not only as techni-
clan, but as interpretative artist"
This is indeed a noble salute to q
fellow artist given by one who is
himself acclaimed by some as the
greatest living pianist"
Holman recently remarked that
concentration is invaluable in q
recital. It is that which produces
results. He is conscious Of the
audience, but only dimly so. He
plays for them, but in order to
play the better for them, he must
shut himself UP within the music.
He always rehearSeS the night be-
fore a concert, to get away from
other things, and to surround
himself with the mood Of the
music.
when the listener realizes
anew the miracle of music, the
wonder according to which, black
notes printed on paper, silent un-
communicative, meaningless until
translated into sound, can become
living art and most potent and
deathleSS beauty; when this mys-
ferrous and incompatible process
takes place, the music has no age
and the experience Of it has sig.
nificance for q lifetime"
With all the seats sold out in
advance, the spring season of the
Metropolitan will open tonight
with q performance Of Carmen"
Bruna Castagna will take the role
Of Carmen, and Armand Tokatyan
will be the Don Jose.
Tokatyan, who was heard In
Washington this past season in
"Lakme," will make his first ap-
pearance with the Metropolitan
tonight following an absence of
several years from the company.
"Rigoletto" will be given Wednes-
day night, and 1.-THE Battered

by the demand for popular priced
tickets. the season will run for at
least four weeks.

By THOMAS A. LOAYZA

MADRID, Dec. "a Q.N.SO.
Twenty-thousand German soldiers
have come to Spain to aid the
rebels within the past two weeks,
the loyaliSt government of Madrid
estimated today.
While all Europe was plunged
into grave concern over participa-
ton Of German volunteer" in
the civil war, Gen. Jose Miaja,
head of the defense junta Of
Madrid, issued a statement saying:

GERMANS AT BOADILLA
"The Germans were diStrib-
uted on all fronts, particularly
about Madrid, where there are
about 5000. Germans were
clearly present at BoadilIa dur

Boadilla is a suburb northwest
of Madrid. Previously, the leftist
government had announced find
ing bodies of many Germans in
captured tanks and airplaneS.
The League Council was last
convened on December 10 and
adjourned shortly after hearing
Madrid's protest that German and
Italian aid was being given the
rebels.
Corroboration of reports the
rebel army, baked four weeks in
attempts to move into the capital,

Belief that the enemy was

PITTMAN ASKS
GUARANTEE OF
NEUTRALITY
Stronger Measure to
Replace Present Act
to BE Offered
BY ROBERT A. McGILL
International News Service

Declaring another world war Is
imminent, Senator Pittman CD
Of Nevada, chairman of the For.
eign Relations Committee, today
called for q neutrality policy guar.
anteeing peace to the United
States. He said:
"This neutrality is probably
the most important issue before
Congress because of the immi-
nent danger Of another world
war and we've got to prepare as
if we know there is going to be
another world war in the spring.
"And, Of course, one Of the
most important preparations Is
to do everything we can afford
to do to keep out Of it."
Pittman said the committee will
consider q new bill strengthening
the present temporary act which
expires May /, 1887. He indicated
the Supreme Courts action in up
holding the 1884 arms embargo
to Bolivia and Paraguay gives
Congress the right to go as far as
it likes in enacting neutrality
legislation.
He declined to discuss details
of the proposed new bill, other
than to say he is working on it,
and that the State Department
wall probably have some sugges-
tionS to make. He did say the
bill will be more elastic than the
measure drafted by the Senate
Munitions Committee, headed by
Senator Nye (R0 of North Da-
kota.
The present act includes among
its provisions one placing an en-
barge on all implements of war to
warning nations, while Nye's pro-
posal would also include essential
war materials, such as cotton, oil.
and certain foods, ON the war con.
traband list. Pittman said:
zone of the major questions
that is always with US and al
ways will be with us, is what ma
terials are used directly in war
to such an extent that they
might be defined as cOntraband
of war and if so defined whether
they should then be embargOed.
"The radicals would place
everything under mandatory
embargOeS, but we must always
remember that keeping out Of
war Is futile if it is done in Q
way that will bring about q sub
Sequent war between us and the
cOnQuerOr."
