European Crisis
Continued from Page One)

This number is being augment
ed constantly, however, with new
planes produced by four big avia-
ton trusts, six independent com
panies and four firms manufact
uring motors only.
New Planes Climb Fast
Air force plans call for subStitu
ton of go per cent of the ole
planes with new types. New bomb
ers have a speed of 215 miles ar
hour, contrasted with the 100 ant
Ito miles of the old ones, ano
a cruising range of $50 miles, witt
a carrying capacity of $500 pounds
The new pursuit planes have 2
speed of $50 miles an hour against
95 for the outmoded ones. They
can climb to $4,000 feet and are
armed with three, four and even
five machine guns firing at al
angles.
The new reconnaissance planes
have a speed Of 30 miles an hour
as against ITO and open models
are replaced by cabin jobs with
the latest observation and naviga-
ton instruments.
For the present Italy continues
to use the hydro airplane bombers
of the type used by General Balbo
in his flight to America. But the
1890 and 1881 land bombers were
sent to Africa, leaving the more
up-to-date planes at home for thf
sterner eventualties of possible Eur
opean war.

LEGISLATURES DANGEROUS

There is all sorts Of speculation
among politicians as to probable
ways of embarrassing Landon in
event he is forced into calling a
special session of the Legislature.
Such things are always danger
ous for a candidate on the eve
of a test such as Landon shortly
must face in the Republican Ma
oional Convention. Legislatures have
a way of getting out of hand at
times on the slightest provocation
There's danger, too, in what the
legislature decides to do in the

standpoint of a candidate for ma

report of a music critic in the Sun
day issue of certain Washington
evening paper. It just happens
that Handels Largo" was not
played Saturday night. Hande'S
Largo" along with Der Fri,
konig," (Schubert); and HON
ing" Del Riego), were to have
been sung by Edwina Eustis with
orchestral accompaniment, but
she was unable to be present.
We all make mistakes, but we
can hardly imagine mistaking the
boisterous Dance of Drunken Sail
ors" from The Red Poppy"
(Gliere), which was used as an
encore, for the famous Largo. ;"
Or, mayhap the music critic of
this paper did not attend the con-
cert. And by-the-way, this column
is first with the news that Sylvan
Levin, guest conductor Saturday
night. gave the Dance of Drunk
en- Sailors" and the "Trepak, !"
from TSchaikoWSky'S "NutcraCker
Suite" as encores at the end of the
concert.
Some there are who are criti-
cising those members of the Wash
ington Summer Concerts ASsocia-
ton who serenaded certain Sec
lions of the National Zoo Saturday
morning. Sour grapes. 1t was
merely a press stunt to gain more
publicity for the Symphonies on
the Potomac" which it did. The
idea was thought up by a certain
newspaper reporter.
If this short concert disturbed
the animals, think what must be
happening in Cincinnati three
times a week at night, when the
Cincinnati Summer Opera Com
pany gives whole operas in the
Cincinnati Zoo!
DR.. Henry Hadley, famous
American composer and conductor,
who was to have been guest con-
ductor at the Water Gate Wed
neSday. Friday and Sunday nights,
has been compelled to cancel his
engagement on account of i'll
health. In his place, Fabien Sc
vitzky will conduct these three
concerts.
Some changes in the program
are being made on account of the
change in conductors.

Another record crowd greeted
the symphonies on the Potomac"
concert last night at the Water
Gate when Fabien Sevitzky made
his second appearance as guest
conductor with the Washington
Summer Concerts Association sym
phony orchestra.
Mr.. Sevitzky's conducting is
characterized by his careful atten-
ton to every detail of expression
in the lighter works as well as the
symphony. His change OF tenn.
pos and dynamics in the we'll
known Hungarian Dances" Nos.
5 and 6, Immediately removed
them from the class of hackneyed
works.
His Interpretation of the over
ture to "Oberon" (Weber), and
the suite, "Capriccio Espagnole, "
captured the imagination of the
audience, although there we're pas
sages that we're so soft that the
auditors on the outer fringes
might have had difficulty in hear
ing.
In his reconstruction of Tschai-
kowsky's Fifth Symphony" Mr..
Sevitzky received the tremendous
acclaim of the audience in similar
vein as when he interpreted
Brahms First Symphony" Friday
night. Both performances we're SUI
perb. The depts and heights of
the TschaikoWsky work were
plumbed with a sure knowledge of
the work. The several climaXes in
the final movement we're so great
that once the audience started to
applaud, thinking the movement
had ended. This short stop ended
upon a cadence other than the key
note of the movement, but there
were many listeners who failed to
realize this, Mr.. Sevitzky refused
to grant an encore, stating that,
After the Fifth Symphony there
is nothing more to say"

Of 24,31S,000 pounds. The prelim-
mary yield of 500 pounds per acre
