OFFICERS TO SCHOOL

Officers of Camp Mckinley will, on
December | unless the present plans
are changed, be required to attend q
post school here, circulars to that ef.
feet having been received here very re.
Gently. The regulation requires that
all lieutenants and all captains of less
than ten years service as commission
sions of ninety days each, between
November | and March 30. The circu-
lar issued by Secretary Root is as fol-
lows:
ct is not intended that officers shall
be forever attending recitations. Under
the old system of lyceum instruction
there was no such thing as graduation,
but under the new scheme, prepared
under the direct supervision OF the
Secretary of War, officers will be able
generally within two years to secure
certificates in all the departments
which they are required to pursue. II
is assumed that all officers have an
average education before enteErlg the
Army, and the idea which runs through
the new system is that every officer
holding a commission should possess a
thorough technical knowledge indis-
pensable to military men. Every lieu
tenant will be required to establish his
fitness not only in the theories of his
ordinary duties, but also learn practi.
cally the duties of adjutant, quarter
: agtn ,t,,an % 9th
staff bureaus. He will be required to
show his mastery Of all the details ol
company administration. which knowl,
edge is OF such great Importance, since
1t involves the preparation of all the
muster rolls, returns and other COM
pany papers, acquisitions for rations
clothing and other supplies, superyis-
ion of the preparation and cooking OF
food for the men,"

AMERICAN WINE


In its issue of February 16 the Buffalo
Express utters the opinion of good judges
on the merits of those American cham
pagnes which are made of the most deli
cate wines and fermented in the bottle on
the system that produces the sparkling
wines in the champagne districts in France.
The remarks on the many awards of excel
lence several of our best American cham
pagne brands have been honored with by
jurors at eXrositions are fully confirming
the opinion of unprejudiced American con-
EumerS. who are aware of the advance
ment in industry of the legitimate
wines of the champagne character.
Next, the Buffalo Express says: Among
the American wine producers. whose out
put has gained renown rapidly. is the Ger

THE soNad DEVELOPMENT.
MIR. Nicholas Douty's Lecture Recital
Before thA Choral Society,

The Choral Society and its friends proved
tnelr thirst after musical knowledge last
night by filling nearly every seat in the
First Congregational Church to hear Mr..
Nicholas Douty expound The Development
or the Song as an Art Form" In the
course OF the evening Mr.. Douty indicated
the historical evolution Of the song by
brief and entertaining discourse and illus
trated the several forms Of song by rem
dering sixteen compositions to his own ac-
compartment on the piano. The entertain
ment was one of the most enjoyable and
educational programs ever presented by the
Choral Society
MI. Douty prefaced the entertainment
with statement that 1t was rather a re-
cital elucfdated by a brief lecture than a
lecture illustrated by songs But however
delighted the audience was by Mr.. Douty's
GEAR tenor voice and good method the like
nnCoo IS that nine-tenths Of his hearers
VIII think much oftener Of the several
elementary song forms which his lecture
made clear. The outline Of his paper was
as follows: That the folk song was the
oasis or all other song forms, and that it
consisted of simple melody sung over and
over as often as there were verses to be
sung; that the aria grew directly out of
the folk song, and consisted of a simple
melody followed by second melody In
another key. which was followed in its
turn Dy the first melody repeated; that
this aria form had gradually grown out Of
Its hard limits into the free song form,
wherein every phase of the literary work
was suited with music particularly designed
to elucidate 1t; that this free song form
found Its fullest expression In the works
OF latter-day German composers
To illustrate these bases Of musical con-
struction Mr. Douty first played two old
folk songs, God Rest You Merry Gentle
men,, and another, and then sang the fol-
lowing selections:
1. Folk song form--Who is Sylvia? Schu-
bert; Fur Musk (For Music, Franz; I'm
kahne Qn the Boat, Grieg; Der Schmied
CThe Blacksmith. Brahms.
z. Aria form-(Full aria), Where'er You
Walk. Handel; Shortened aria) Dalla Sua
Pace QIer Peace to Cherish), Mozart; (reci-
Hearts, Mendelssohn.

T. Free forms German composers)-Der
Blauer Sommer (Blue-eyed SUMMER Rich
ard Strauss: Ich Grolle Nicht q Blame
Thee NoD. Schumann: Traume Oreams)
and Liebeslied Hove Song), Wagner.
THE second Wagner number, which Is the
finale of the second act of the 'Walkyrie,"
aroused the audience to such a demonstra-
ton of enthusiasm that Mr.. Douty was
compelled to respond with an encore. His
selection was a work of his own, a delicate
folk-song-like work, entitled "Forgetful-
ness"
