Several hundred Aids-de-Camp are ap-
pointed among the Posts all over the De-
partment. Paragraph III of the order adj
monishes the appOintees that the appoint
mentS are not made as empty
honors or complimentary commissions" and
adds that ''the exigencies of the case de-
mand extraordinary effort"
Gen. Order states that in many Posts
attendance has fallen off to such extent
that special effort has become necessary to
renew and establish interest in Post meet
ings. The Commander therefore directs
that attendance be stimulated by instruc-
ton and entertainment of comrades. He
says that the Post ought to be made the
medium for affording pleasures to COM
rades that they can not obtain elsewhere.
As an effort to advance in this respect,
the Commander recommends that at the
first meeting in each month there be some
addresses, papers. reminis-
cences etc. that alternate meetings be
open, with regular program and supper or
campfire features, to be participated in by
auxiliary bodies.

The book is by Stan islaus StangeI and the music by ulian Edwards, the authors of "DOlly Var den." It is presented in three acts, the scenes representing the headquar- during a dance given the Federal of- ticers by the Confederate belles, a plantation on the Mississippi and an advance post of the Union Army at the time of the declaration of peace between the North and the South. The cast represents large selection of the best score thatJ ulian Edwards has ever written. While original in the main, the composer has very deft- ly interwOven into his own efforts all the martial music so popular during the time of the Civil War, together with darkey melodies and the battle songs of the blue and the gray. From the standpoint of scenery and cos CullleS, Cue prOuuCUlOn IS very qudlnJ and beautiful, the dresses correctly representing those worn during the war period from 1861 to 1865, includ- ing the now somewhat ludicrOuS mas sive hoop skirt which was prevalent in those days There are g musical numbers introduced during the per fOrmance.
