"theater music and deserves to

least it requires more specific pro-

Symphony

BY CHARLES GENTRY

| DESPITE THE recent success

very large audience TO Masonic

1t wasn't particularly happy
choice for the soloist on this occa-

young American pianist, Sidney
Foster, falling considerably short
of the requirements of this grand

Young Mr.. Foster is undoubtedly

His sensational debut last year
with the New York Philharmonic

event which won him considerable
acclaim and IL was with great
anticipation we waited for his ap-
lpearance with our orchestra last
Saturday night.

But he did not rise 10 our ex-

from the interpretative side, call
for sheer physical strength. Play

far the greatest war that the

old Germany, which was winning
everything through one policy and
changed and lost everything
through another policy.
We cannot eNaggerate the loss
which might come TO us. We have
had an uninterrupted record of
growth in wealth. in population,
in territory, in every element of
greatness. But that was because
OF our isolation and because Of our
exemption from the conquests and
disasters to which European ma
tions are periodically subject be-
cause of their close contact and
nter-relatiOnS, their hereditary
feuds and hatreds.
Now we are proposing TO be-

ready 20 do so, when we wanted
10 do so and when we would
decide the struggle between the
exhausted antagonists I'm n few
months by tho overwhelming force
of our unimpaired resources.
We will be compelled in this
next great war, as a member Of
the League of Nations, 10 take
part from the beginning and to
endure 10 the end.
We will not be a voluntary as
sOciate. We will be n pledged and
plighted ally. We will be an in
tegral part of one or the other
group OF the belligerents.
We will be inextricably involved,
because we shall have voluntarily
entangled and enmeshed ourselves
not only through the guarantees,
but through the various acts of
this league of foreign nations.
At the end of the war we will
find ourselves not an arbiter, not
holding ourselves unscathed and
deciding the event at the last
moment through our balance of
power. We will find ourselves
either belonging TO the victorious
group OF beIligerents or TO the
defeated group of belligerents.
IL we belong TO the victorious
group, ii will be better, but still
bad enough since we have never
anything TO demand of victory. We
will then find ourselves merely
exhausted, partly depopuIated and
wholly bankrupt, after the manner
OF the European nations, but with
this difference, that we will have
no easy mark TO draw upon as
the European nations have drawn
upon us.
But suppose we should be on
the side OF the LOSING group.
We should then he in the same
position that the losing European
nations now are, subject TO the
imposition of crushing indemnities,
TO the cOnfiscatiOn of our navy
and merchant marine. subject even
To acknowledgements, with the pos
sibility OF our northern states
going 10 the power that shall have
possessed Canada, and of our
southwestern states going 10 the
power that shall occupy Mexico.
Our guardianship Of the Western
Hemisphere would he ended. our
own primacy in the world de-
stroyed for years and perhaps
forever.
Does all this forecast seem ex-
travagant and impossible: Well,
il only seems impossible because

complications. through non partici-
patton i'm the waste Of wars and
the enormous expense of military
