PASSING OF TIE MARTIAL DRUM.

greatest Generals Of the eighteenth
century, the conqueror OF Fontehoy'
declared tAat the measured SOUND
made by the drum and fife was IN

AS an illustration Of the effect OF mi-

Almost everyone has seen people

It is thus with marching. 1t makes

sary."
Another great General, Wellington,
contended that without the strains OF
music it was impossible for troops to
make successful charges. Wanting
music, the men would come up ragged
and open against the enemy.
Napoleon was an ardent defender
of the drum. AS long ago as his time
Il was urged by some military men
that il was a barbaric instrument,
which duIled the most sensitive ear
by it's monotonous sounds, and That
1t had not proper place In modern
warfare. THE drum" answered the

is the best musical instrument IN the
world; for it never gets out OF tune.
1t is a mistake to assume that the
drum is unmusical. All musical au-
thorities have agreed that when USED
in the proper way it is thoroughly
musical The common snare or side
drum is freely used in musical COM
position. A large number of drum
mers perforing simultaneously out OF
doors produce good music.
Berlioz the composer said that a
