WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.-Musi.
clans from San Antonio, Texas,
have written to the War Depart
ment, protesting against the First
Infantry Band being permitted to
play at concerts, balls, etc. thereby
preventing the local musicians
from making . living by their pro-
fsssion. The General OF the Army
says: 1.-THE regimental bands are
not maintained or paid by the
United States. Regimental COM
manders select musicians from va
rious companies, and thus create q
band, whose expenses have to be
found by themselves or paid out of
the pockets of the officers. In des.
potic Russia and in Germany the
soldiers are encouraged to work for
wages. rs tailors, shoemakers, and
during the harvest, to supplement
their small pay, etc. do not see
why,in free America q soldier may
not be allowed to make music pay
