Soldiers Slnjf By Nature.
PHILADKLPHIA, Pa., Feb. 28.
The singing of popular songs by
American soldiers on active duty
"over there" is advocated by their
superior officers, according to a U.
8. Marine Just returnd from France.
He declares that most of the popu
lar song hits of the day arc famil
iar to the troops li; tho trenches
and that thuy sing them at every
opportunity.
"Singing is a soldier's second nat
ure," said the Marine. "It drives
away loneliness and helps to enliven
the spirits of the boys: The soldier
who can pick a banjo or guitar is
a welcome comrade in any camp,
not only to the enlisted men but to
the officers as well."
