war facing the European nations,
America has assumed much more
significant place in the sphere of
art. 1t is no more just a place of
refuge, but the only field where art
can continue to flourish and grow.
Upon the shoulders of American
artists and American composers
now rests the burden of carrying on
the work in which their European
confreres were formerly the leaders.
They have now the opportunity of
showing what they are capable of
without competition. On them now
is placed the sacred duty of seeing
that the art of music progresses.
that it serves the weary world as
prophet of better things and that
the thoughts and feelings of a Ma
ton blessed above all others can
be given out through the medium
Of music.
No National Bounds.
This great opportunity should not
be mistaken as means of recogni-
ton by those who dabble in music
tn a small way and have only small
things to say. Nor should it be the
occasion of discrimination against
artists or composers of other nations
who are in no way responsible for
the ideas of those who direct the
war. Art has always been and must
continue to be independent of ma
tional boundaries or political plan
ming.
For the first meeting ever to be
held in this country of the Inter-
national Congress of the Musicolog-
tcal Society, which took place the
middle of September in New York
City, the noted French writer,
Roman ROLAND, sent a letter that
contained a plea for tolerance. He
wrote:
I'm the field of art, there is not
there should not be-any rivalry
among nations. The only combat
worthy of us is that which is waged,
In every country and at every hour,
between culture and ignorance, be-
tween light and chaos. Let us save
all the light that can be saved. There
is none more refulgent than music.
1t is the sun of the inner universe"
Most of the European man artists
who have become part of the mu-
sical life of this country have tenn
porarily escaped military service and
are already here. With very few
exceptions. the names of well-known
woman artists will again be fea-
tured in the music schedule. Many
members of orchestras are already
American citizens, the Boston SYM
phony being the only one to suffer
to any degree from its musicians
being called to the colors. Here,
in this country that 20 years ago
had an inferior standing among the
worlds musical circles, are congre-
gated the greatest professionals of
all countries.
Learn From Others.
This unique situation is an op-
portunity for American talent to
make itself felt in all it's power
Not only can we show what we are
capable of but we can learn and
absorb and turn to good account

mained at Murmansk today pending
precise verification" of her cargo,
Tass News Agency announced.
The German prize crew of 10,
which seized the ship and took her
to the Soviet Russian port in the
Arctic Ocean Monday, has been re-
leased from internment but not to
board the City of Flint again.
United States Ambassador Lau-
renee A. Steinhardt, who said he
was assured the American crew of a
was safe aboard, expected the Rus
sian government to give details of
the seizure and internment today
He and the foreign Office said they
had no knowledge of any change in
the ships status.
Tass reported the City of Flint
had been taken to Murmansk after
a brief halt at Tromso, Norway, be-
cause her machinery had been dam
aged.

with Russia the disposition of the
vessel. Ar authorized German

Foreign Secretary Lord Halifax de-
clared Soviet Russia occupied East

Lord Halifax said Britain'S pledge

Germany though he admitted lit
is quite true that it makes no diff
ference to the Poles whether they
are invaded from the east or west" "
The last thing would wish to
do in this matter" he told the House
of Lords, would be to defend the
action of the Soviet government at
the particular time at which they
took it."
But it is right to remember two
things" he said. First, that they
would never have taken that action
Ii the German government had not
started it and set the example that
they did set when they invaded Po-
land without any declaration of
war.
In the second place, it is worth
while recalling that the action of
the Soviet government has been to
advance the Russian boundary to
what was substantially the boun-
Diary recommended at the time of
the Versailles conference by Lord

Nazis See Trouble
Between Britain and
Soviet on Contraband
GoebbeIs' Paper Finds
Consequences of Note
For-Reoching
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
BERLIN, Oct. 26.-The German
press today interpreted Soviet Rus
sia's rejection of Britains contra
band list as sharp protest against
blockade warfare" which might lead
to serious trouble between the two
powers.
Commenting on what to Germany
is one of the wars most serious as
poets, Propaganda Minister Paul
Joseph Goebbels' newspaper Der
Angriff said "Moscows note con-
tains a clear warning susceptible of
causing far-reaching consequences
unless it Is observed"
The paper declared Britain had
two alternatives-either to alter her
contraband list or take the conse-
quences which might result from
any seizures OF Russian ships.
Der Angrih said "a decisive word
has been spoken.
Soviet Russia established in this
note that England's method of con-
Quoting war contradicts all interna-
tional conventions relating to war
time sea commerce.
"England's methods are nothing
more than open piracy, made no
better by the fact that it is practiced
by great sea power"

PARIS, Oct. 26.-French land and
air patrols were reported today to
have returned from reconnaissance
assignments with information indi
eating the Germans were fully pre-
pared for big push on the western
front.
The French said their scouts told
Of huge troop concentrations and
supply arrangements usually re-
garded as forerunners of a major
offensive. They estimated the Ger
mans now have 100000 men on the
front and in support areas.
Actual fighting, meanwhile, was
limited to minor patrol clashes be-
tween the lines on the northern
f1ank-the only sign of action along
the front since the German counter
drive into the Saarland 10 days ago.
French military sources said their
patrols were seeking to take pris-
oners for questioning on the pos
sibility of an enemy attack. German
patrols, they said, were met with
firm resistance in attemps to filter
through French outposts and barbed
wire
For the first time since the start
OF the war, snow fell in the Vosges
Mountains as rain and cold swept
the entire front, hindering infantry
operations and grounding air forces.
Today's French communique said
the night was quiet as a whole"
and noted bad weather"
In anticipation of a possible at
tempt to crack the Maginot de-
fenses, French authorities offered
facilities for the voluntary removal
of the civilian population of Nancy,
which is about 40 miles behind the

Only 81 of 10000 residents, it was
disclosed, have thus far availed

Wallace Third-Term
Remark Disp|eases
White House
Cabinet Officer Should
Have Consulted Victim
Stephen EorIy Says
BY JOHN C. HENRY.

Reacting openly for the first
time to third-term talk by a cabi-
net officer, the White House today
showed apparent irritation at the
suggestion by Secretary of Agricul-
ture Wallace that war time condi-
tions make it desirable that Presi-
dent Roosevelt be a candidate for
reelection in 1910.
Gliding the cabinet member for
his remarks, made in response to
a question in an interview yester-
day at San Francisco, White House
Secretary Stephen Early told his
press conference today:
1T would have been kind and
polite Of the speaker to have con-
suited the victim before he spoke ,
Mr.. Early's statement was in re-
Spouse to q question on the third.
term issue, which he specifically
interpreted to refer to Secretary
Wallace's remarks.
Pressed for precise identification
of the VICTIM" Mr.. Early countered
by asking:
who is the third-term subject
of the statement"
Remark Held Badly Timed.
That the White House displeasure
with Secretary Wallaces remarks
may be as much because of their
timing as their actual meaning, was
indicated by Mr.. Early's answer
when informed that there had been
criticism at the Capitol due to rails
ing the third-term issue while Con-
gress is considering the controversial
neutrality problem and has been ap-
pealed to by the President himself
to adjourn politics and partisanship
in the face of this grave world issue
1T could have been better timed
If it had to be timed at ALL" Mr.
Early said curtly.
At this point, he declined further
discussion of the matter.
This very criticism of reviving the
third-term fight at this particular
time was made yesterday on Capitol
Hill. not only by spokesmen ordi-
narily opposed to Mr.. Roosevelt, but
also by some who have been among
his most enthusiastic followers.
Among the latter were Senator
Minton of Indiana. Democratic
whip, and Senator Thomas, DEM

trality measure. Therefore, have
nothing to say at the present time. -

Germans declared today that Soviet
Russia had agreed to allow the
United States steamer City of Flint
to leave the port of Murmansk in
charge of her German prize crew

may rest assured the ship will not
be headed for the United States

the Embassy that the City of Flint
entered Murmansk because she had
suffered "havarie" (sea damage) and
that her American crew was safe
and unhurt
Sources close to the foreign office
indicated that the communication
was oral.
Authorized German sources said
the case of the American ship had
been clarified between Germany
and Soviet Russia Russian officials

Flint sought refuge in Murmansk

Russia Charges Breach
OF International Law

MOSCOW, Oct. 26 'R.-Russia' 8
protest against the British contra
band list, calling 1t a violation of
the principles of international law
and reserving the right to claim
compensation for Russian losses
resulting from its enforcement,
was in England's hands today.
The note, handed to British Am
bassador Sir William Seeds, de-
clared that merchant ships of the
U. S. S. r. being state property
"for this reason alone should not
be subjected to any measures of
compulsion applied to privately
owned merchant ships"
In the note replying to the British
notification OF contraband lists,
Vladimir Potemkin, vice commissar
for foreign affairs, declared the list
"gravely impairs the interests of
neutral countries and destroys inter-
national trade"
Potemkin said the Soviet govern
ment deems it not permissible to
deprive peaceful population of
foodstuffS, fuel and clothing and
thus subject children, women and
aged people and invalids to every
hardship and to starvation by pro-
claiming goods of popular consump-
ton as war contraband."
= He said the Soviet also did not
agree to the British note of Sep
tember II demanding that neutral
merchant ships call at designated
ports for checking by the British.
Such measures violate the ele-
mentary principles of the freedom
of merchant shipping" Potemkin
declared.
THE Soviet government cannot
fail to declare that merchant ships
Of the U. S. S. R. are state property
and for this reason alone should
not be subjected to any measures of
compulsion applied to privately
owned merchant ships" Potemkin
said.
"On the strength of the above,
the government Of the U. s. S. R.
reserves its right to claim from the
British government compensation
for losses to organizations, institu-
tions or citizens of the U. S. S. r.
by the above mentioned measures
of the British government and &C
tions of British authorities"
