DISPENSING WITH THE DRUM
Other Countries viii Follow France in
Discarding il as Part of Military
Equipment.

1t was some time ago that, acting
upon The recommendations embodied
in a report by a military commission
the French government reached the
conclusion that the drum was no long
er a necessary article of military
equipment.
The report set forth that the drum
was a serious encumbrance in march
ing; that rain impaired its usefulness;
that it's calls could not be distinguished
in time of battle; that it consumed a
period of two years to turn out an eff
Client drummer; and that by abandon
ing the use of the drum many thou
sands of youths and men would be re-
leased for active service.
Since the decision of the French
government other European powers
have followed its example in decreeing
that the drum must go"
