MILITARY BANDS SAID TO BE GREAT
POWER FOR STIMULATING PATRIOTISM
New York Witnesses Examples Recently of How Crowds "Will Gather and Listen Eagerly to Music and Singing
on Streets Morgan Kingston Regarded as Successor to Evan Williams.
BY EMILIE FRANCES BAUER.
NEW YORK, June 8. (Special.)
If there wis any need of dem
onstrating how great and impor
tant a part is played by music during
these days of storm and stress in the
Nation, those concerned with making
a success of the Red Cross drive just
closed found it out, some to their sor
row and some to their delight.
Leaving aside the undeniable psy
chology of music and its powers to
ruove people to the best and highest
that is in them, it is the sole means
by which crowds can be gathered and
held. Much has been said by enthus
iasts upon the subject of "community
singing." but it has not yet reached
the degree of popularity which it de
serves, nor have the leaders solved the
problem of how to make it serve the
country. Nor can. too much stress be
laid upon the need for bands whose
mission is not only to hold together
some few congenial spirits but to lend
themselves Informally where they are
most needed.- This was- shown one
evening last week when the Erie Kail
way Office Band gave its services in
different sections of New York to the
great cause. Under its conductor Mr.
Schaeffer, it dispensed music which not
only attracted, but held the crowds
who stopped to listen.
Nothing means so much to organizer
or organization aa the act of partici
pation, and whether the participant is
the small boy of the street who "joins
in" or the bookkeeper of some " great
corporation who learns - to beat the
drum in the band endowed by his firm
the sense of personal responsibility Is
the thing that in this case makes all
mankind - kin.
The hardships Involved by those who
In the moment of need turned to ask
for the help of such bodies proved
easily that this country Is not yet prop
erly supplied with choral and brass
band organizations of this nature. In
this hour does any one stop to consider
what is given by the singer who un
grudgingly responds to the call for
help.? On the street corners, over the
din of passing cars and automobiles
float voices whivh thrill the passers
by into the realization of what it all
means, and few stop to consider how
much more than money is being thus
contributed. The fact that many of the
artists are more than fatigued after a
strenuous opera or concert season has
rot been taken Into consideration by
them: they only knew that from May
20 until the end of the drive they could

OY," said Priam, as he eat in
e library of the House-Boat
on the Styx, addressing the
youthful Ascanlus as he passed through,
"page the man who said there's nothing
new under the sun, and tell him I want
to see him."
-"Yesslr. very good, sir." said-Axt
canlus. "Right away, sir, but what's
his other name, sir?"
"That's what I want to find out my
self," said Prima. "I don't, know whoi
he Is, where he Is, or when he was, but
I have a rather nice specimen of a flea
to put in his ear for having made any
such absurd remark as that."
"Very good, sir. I'm off. sir," said
Ascanius. making a bee-line for the
door llge a veritable Messenger to
Garcia.
"What's the big idea. Pri?" queried
Homer. "You're not going to write a
topical song about that line, are you?
Something like:
O tra-la-loo.
There's nothing new.
There's nothing new beneath ts sun."
"Well, no, I hadn't any such notion in
my mind." said Prima. "But if the
saying were true it would make a good
one." .
"I should eay it would." chortled
Shakespeare. "Wouldn't mind tackling
the Job myself In this strain, perhaps:
"Old Kaiser Bill he thought himself
The only Jam-pot on the shelf.
And sang. "O tra-la-lee
Since Time began long years ago,
And mortal life began to flow.
There's not been sltch as ME!
T am the first of all my kind
Seach'every age and you'll not find
On land or on the sea.
On earth, in air.
Or anywhere,
Another one like ME!
But Bill was thinking in the dark.
He'd clean forgot the hungry Shark;
And losing sight of his own shape
Completely overlooked the Ape;
And never dreamed that in mere sin
Beelzebub was his own Twin;
And that for lecherous intent
Pop Tarquin was his precedent:
And that for things of murderous strain
He was the Duplicate of Cain;
That Ananias long before
His very self-same laurels wore.
And name and reputation won
Along the lines that Bill has run
Yet 'tis a fact
Far to exact.
There's nothing new beneath the sun
Alas how true.
There's nothing new.
There's nothing new beneath the sun!"
"That's not bad for an Impromptu."
said Homer. "Rewritten thirty or forty
times, and set to music by the com
poser of Salome, and sung by a Swed
ish Tenor who has lost his voice, it
might get by."
"Unfortunately the ultimate senti
ment is not true," said Priam. "That's
why I wanted to see the chap who first
said it. I want to show him how ever
lastingly wrong he was."
"Oh. I'm not so sure about that," said
Diogenes. "I'm a pretty old guy and
I've been looking for something new
for ages, and haven't found it yet
not even an honest man. Show me
that, and I may agree with you."
"What's the new thing you think you
discovered. Pri?" asked Socrates. "If
you have really found it you ought to
be able to prove your case."
"Well, this war has brought out a
lot of new things." said Priam. "Take
this new German Gun that shoots seventy-five
miles, for example."
"Stuff and nonsense!" said Ajax.
"New? Why, Priam, Vulcan was mak
ing that sort of thing for Jupiter way
back in the days of the Mythologiana.
aeons before Methuselah was born. I
guess I ought to know: it was a long
range shot that knocked me out. I
don't know the exact distance it trav
eled, but I heard Mercury say once that
that old thunder-bolt of Jove's traveled
eight million seven hundred and fifty
two thousand miles before it plunked
Into me. The thing is older than the
hills. Your vaunted seventy-flve-mile
gun is only the practical application of
another stolen ldea--as usual."
"You'll have to guess again, Priam."
laughed Socrates. "Ajax has caught
you there."
"Well, I've got another right here at
band." said Priam. "How about the
Zeppelin? I rather imagine Brother
Ajax won't be so flip about that."
"Ajax mayn't," said Aeschylus, "but
Zeus save us. I'ri. you must be in your
thirty-second childhood to talk about
Zeppelins as something new In the
presence of Homer and myself. I admit
that the Zeppelin has proved itself to
-!--. if -4- filthiest birds -that -ever
flew the air. dropping death and de-
truction upon innocent children and
old men and women everywhere, but
there's nothing new about it. If you
don't believe it ask Achilles here, or
Ulysses, or Homer, about the Harpies.
I guess you'll find that we old Greeks
knew a thing or two about your Zep
pelins bark in the days when the Huns
were swinging by their tails in the
African Jungle."
"Perfectly true." said Achilles, "and
they were the most offensive weapon
of offense ever Invented. They were
worse than buzzards and condors and
other dirty birds that only eat carrion.
The buzzard and the condor eat car
rion because they like it. but the Har
py, like the Zeppelin, used to come
racing along through the Heavens at a
break-neck speed and out of sheer
love for mean, malicious depravity,
spoil everything they touched and
making no more ado about soiling
whatever came within their reach than
a Hohenzollern Prince in the Chateau
of a French gentleman. They were
nothing more than super-mean, super
dastardly, super-cowardly super
beasts capable of flying through the
air and loving nothing quite so much
as to spread ruin and desolating filth
wherever they went. This war Zeppelin
you speak of. Priam, is only a modern
instance of a mythological fact. It is
a dirigible Harpy; the same Idea, the
same degenerate purpose, the same
cowardly expedient for fighting the
helpless non-combatant meanly and
obscenely."
Priam rubbed his brow ruefully. He
was a stubborn old man and waa not
at all pleased to have his kingly pro
nouncements so readily gainsaid.
"Well, anyhow," he said triumphant
ly, "the Submarine "
"Noah has already told us of the
Giraffes dotting the silvery surface of
the deluge with their periscopic heads."
interrupted Barnum.
"O tutt!" laughed Priam. "That
story may be humor, but it Isn't his
tory. This Is a serious discussion.
Noah's Giraffes don't count. They are
only a part of the Admiral's nautical
persiflage. He had to spin a yarn like
that to prove he was ever a sailor. I
mean the REAL thing the Submarine
that can remain under water for days
at a time, come to the surface when It
wills, carries human freight and above
all can shoot a torpedo unerringly
when occasion arises. How about
that?" the old man added with a loud
laucn. "I guess I gotcha this time,
eh?"
There was a slight commotion at the
rear of the group and In a moment
Jonah .was observed standing on his
feet.
"For the benefit of our good friend
Mr. Omar Pri Yam." he began.
"Sh! Sh!" admonished Shake
speare. "It's Priam, not Khayyam, and
his name is not Omar."
"Well, I'm sorry." said Jonah, ner
vously. "I get terribly mixed on this
WHO'S WHO IN HADES business.
What with Priam and Khayyam and
Homer and Omar and the Lord knows
what else, it's a terrible mixup to me.
At any rate, whoever the dear old top
may be who says that the modern
Submarine Is a new thing because it
carried human freight and could stay
under water for days at a stretch
whenever it wanted to. I'd just like to
ask him If he ever heard of ME!"
"Sure I have." said Priam. "You
were the original Jinx. I'll admit that
since your time there has been nothing
new in luck, but I am talking about
Submarines that carried human freight
and could stay under water for days
whenever it got good and ready to do
it."
"That's what I'm talking about too,"
said Jonah.
"Well, what's the idea? Were you a
Submarine that carried any human
freight?" demanded Priam.
"No." said Jonah. "I've had hard luck
in my day. but it wasn't as bad as
that. But I am the human freight
that waa carried by a submarine ages
and ages ago. I was the first known
cargo of the first subaqueous common
carrier."
"That's news to me." said Priam.
"Doubtless," said Jonah. "I under
stand there weren't any Carnegie li
braries in Troy in your day and you
are therefore. 'I'lfc fl t 4 ifr311f " -body
Avbuld call a bureau ot informa
tion. But if there had been such a
library and you could have stopped
quarreling with your neighbors long
enough to look into the catalogue un
der J you would have found a book
called "Jonah, or Four Days Behind
the Blubber." from a perusal of which
you would have gained much valuable
knowledge. It was about me and my
adventures in the first submarine oil
tank named In history."
"And a whale of a story It was," said
Dr. Johnson. "I read It from cover
to cover with breathless interest and
a gasping incredulity."
"Oh. yes. I know that old yarn,"
laughed Priam, good-naturedly. "As I
remember it. you were such an Ingrow
ing mascot on the liner you sailed on
the sailors threw you overboard."
"Yezza! Plum into the briny," said
Jonah.
"In the swim at last," suggested
Beau Brummel.
"And immediately taken In by the
first families of the sea," grinned Na
poleon. "'Sticking to your point, I was swal
lowed by a submarine," said Jonah.
"I hadn't been in the water two min--utes
when the thing happened."
"You were swallowed by a whale,
sir." roared Priam, indignantly. "I
know the story Munchausen told me
about it several years ago. and I took
it as a sensible man would, with a
grain of salt, sir yes, sir, with a grain
of salt."
"I took It with several hogsheads of
salt." said Jonah, "and even at that
there wasn't a dry moment in the whole
adventure. It was perfectly awful "
"Oh. I know all about that." said
Priam, impatiently. "You can't cuttle
fish this argument with gassy camou
flage. Nobody imagines for a minuto
that your experience living Inside of a,
fish for three days and three nights
was a pleasant one. But the point Is,
you don't for a. moment claim that a
whale is a submarine, do you?"
"Why not? What else is it?" came
from all parts of the room.
"That's it." said Jonah. "What else
is it? If a whaln is not a submarine,
what else is it? You wouldn't ex
actly call It an aeroplane, would you?
Anybody here ever see a whale soar
ing the heavens?" he added, turning
and addressing the others.
"I did. once," said Bacchus. "I
caught him in a butterfly net. but
when I tried to stuff him and pin him
on a cork I found ho wasn't there."
"Exactly." said Jonah. "He wasn't
there because whales never are there
they are submarines, and not super
terrains and at least one of them
carried human freight and stayed un
der water for days and days, and came
to the surface when he got good and
ready."
"Well, even at that." said Priam, his
eye lighting with hope as he thought
of one last point. "I'll bet you 40
cents you don't dare stand up before
this gathering of truth-loving spirits,
and with the fate of Ananias staring
you in the face, tell us that that whale,
or submarine as you choose to call it,
was equipped with a torpedo tube."
"I don't know what old Standy was
equipped with," began Jonah.
"Old who?" cried Napoleon.
"Standy," said Jonah. "I named him
Standard Doyle, he was such a gusher
but. as I say I don't know what old
Standy was equipped with, but if he
didn't have a torpedo tube he had a
synthetic substitute that made the real
thing look like 29 cents, and you'd
have admitted that yourself. Brother
Priam, If you'd been in my place the
morning the old boy hove to a mile
and a half off shore and shot me out
into the ambient atmosphere to land
sprawling on the beach 40 yards be
yond tidewater somewhere in- Assyria.
Gosh all fish hooks, but that was some
projection, and I wonder I lived to tell
the tale."
"In other words." said Dr. Johnson,
