sona tour, is the foremost wo-
man composer of the day Although
she has never attempted anything
heroic in musical composition, her
work is charming en- account of its
daintiness and originality. Some Of
her songs are gems in their way and
are very popular, not only in her ma
tive France, but everywhere. Strict
harmonists find much to criticise in
Nine. Chsminade's compositions. but
they all agree that her work is worthy
of a distinct place in the world of mu-
steal expression. Her ballet music is
played by the orehestras ct every land,
and her songs are sung in a score of
languages. Like most composers, she
is not great pianist.

At no time since the war has the
rush to recruiting stations been so
great, and while only a small percent
age of those applying for enlistment
are accepted the officers IN charge of
the stations declare that II would be
possible TO accept twice the number OF
men now enlisted if some OF the minor
defects We're overlooked.
The majority of the men who are
entering the army after weeks OF un-
employment include former cashiers
