Santiago campaign, there having been a
band on that vessel ever since she went

band, however, does not go far among
so many warships. and the "jackies'' on
the cruiser Brooklyn expect to have a
corps of musicians of their own at an

band, but in the rush to prepare the
flying squadron for service the organiza-

wrote to lJohn Philip Sousa asking him
to name competent musician as organiz-
