A opened the Eagle Hut In ; the Strand, London, early last fall, an English girl, named Kate Pope, has been singing and playing to the sol diers and sailors there twice a day. Song writers bring her their effusions by the bale to "try them on." This Is the advice she gives them; Write a rag at least a song with some syncopation. That is what the boys always ask for. Don't be too patri otic In ! your song writing. The boys don't care for that sort of thing. When they do It's an exception, as, for In stance, rTipperary.' But If you analyse that yoa will find that it Is not the usual type of patriotic song. It is simply con sidered patriotic , because of time and usage.! - "A good point to bear in mind Is to in troduce the humorous side of war. The soldiers know the other side, and when they are out to sing It is for diversion. The most popular song of the minute with the sldters here is, "I Don't Want to Get Well.' "Other popular songs with the men just now are: 'Joan of Arc, 'Huckle berry .Finn and Are3Tou From Dixie 7 t ta fl a.

Mr. Mulligan is organist in the Fifth Ave nue church and is, a musical and literary critic of ability. He is now entering the composing stage, too. I was very glad of the opportunity to meet and play for him. 1 had promised , to go to Camp Merrit before I thought of- my sore finger, so I said t would go or die in the attempt. "From Mr. Mulligan's apartment we went to the One Hundred and Thirtieth Btreet dock,- and there met Mr. and Mrs. Whipp, Mrs. Hamilton, contralto, ' and Mrs. Homesley, soprano. We ar rived at Camp Merrit at 7:20 or 7:30. Such mud I never did see. "The program was .to be given at the Y..M. C. A., No. 2. When we arrived the hall was crowded with about 600 soldiers and the cheer that greeted us was deafening.1 We saw some of the boys who were sending their accessory baggage, as we entered. The head boy there introduced us as Mr. Mulligan and his musicians. Mrs. Hamilton Bang first. Her warm contralto and pleasing personality were very well received. Then Mr. Whipp took the tage and- told the story of 'Fuzzy Wuzzy,' which he was going to sing. This made a great hit. Then I played a number, which also called for an encore, "A Bowl of Roses." This struck those boys Just right, and the applause after this to them novelty (singing and playing at the same time), certainly was a spontan eous outburst. Mrs. Homesley followed with a . few songs which she 'spoke,' while playing the piano. This also took i wefl. Then the order of soloists was ! repeated. 'Fuzzy Wuzzy' and the vlolln- j 1st being called ror irom tne audience, i Let me tell you that this was the most' Inspiring audience I believe I have ever sung or played for. For the second boIo I used the 'Cansonetta,' and, for en core, "Believe Me.' My finger hurt like a house afire, but. gee ! what was this to what those boys, to whom I was giv ing a little pleasure that evening, would be suffering soon. "Well, after the program we were each introduced separately. 'Mrs. Homesly from ' (I forgot where) ; next. Mi,8S Hoeber. from Oregon.' Well, one fellow said: 'What was the name?"

Mr. Gerard Is our recognized author ity on the man and the idea the kai ser and kalserlsm. He has been face to face with the one In his palace, and with the other In all neutral countries and even at home. One volume, "My Four Years in .Ger many." could not contain his full story. There the author but began. "Face to Face With Kalserlsm" contains, word for word. Gerard's heretofore unpub lished personal narrative of events kept while In Germany. In his introduction Mr. Gerard saya: "What I want especially to Impress upon the people of the United States la that we are at war because Germany in vaded the United States an invasion In sidiously conceived and vigorously pros ecuted." In the very first paragraph of the book he strikes the keynote of his theme. He writes: "To the American mind the kaiser Is the personification of Germany. He Is the arch enemy upon which the world places the responsibility for this most terrible of all wars. I have sat face to face with him In the palace at Berlin where, as the personal representative and envoy of the presi dent of the United States, I had the honor of expressing, the viewpoint of a great nation. I have seen him In the field as the commanding general of mighty forces, but I also have seen him in the neutral countries through which T nAfuuwl rtn mv return hnmfi ind In vrtv own beloved land fa the evidence of in- r)lr,,- aiw. inttinr n-Mc-h thi. miiit.ri.. t,e monarch ha, begotten and which is toA&y Thing.' as President Wilson ca8 iu wh)ch haJI brought the American people face to face with kaisrlsm in . the greatest conflict of all history-" - i The last words of Mr. Gerard are a call to a larger vision in our national j life. i "Great changes." he says, "are com i ing In the social structure of the world. that it We are on the threshold of a great re adjustment. Whatever else our entrance the war may accomplish, let us hope will have made of us a nation with the throb of a single patriotism and the steady pulse of an energetic ef- ficiency that shall not merely seek In days of peace." - ' JEW BOOKS -...

Mr. White's new book describes his i experiences when. In company with Henry Allen, another Kansas editor, he went to Europe and to the front (n the Interests of the Red Cross. It Is de clared a distinctly American book, full of good humor, and one which at the same time gives a new idea of the war and the people who are waging It. 0 ID- Tone Coloring I THE Marvelous Duo Art The DUO ART produces "tone color" impossible In any other Player because its dynamic bellows is capable of producing practically twice the number of degrees in tone than any other Instrument sixteen, to be exact This great number of tone gradations results in wonder fully besntiful "tone shades" or "tone colors."
