 Musicians Indorse Idea
Ky MRS. SIDNEY NJ. uLLMAs

i Yesterday afternoon at Clark &, Jones

 all eager to start work at once and make | their club great success.
 l At the next meeting the club will elect 1 officers and appoint committees and then
 the work will begin in earnest. M
 Many of the most prominent mus&ians l of the city have expressed themselves as ! to the value of the movement and the
 necessity for just such broadening work
 among the young people of Birmingham. l MT and Mrs. William Gussen have this
 to say of the club:
 I "A movement such as this. that will 1 bring about greater reverence and more serious attitude toward our great tonal art on the part of the young people of | Birmingham. has my most emphatic ap- proval Edna G. Gussen
 The organization of Junior Music study club will eventually develop into an even stronger senior organization than the one we now have. Therefore, I am heartily in favor of it."-William Gussen Miss Edgell Adams speaks in loud praise of the movement and says:
 Every student of music under IS years of age should be interested in the Junior Branch of the Music Study club and take an active part if possible in the york; One of the youngest teachers of con- siderable note, or account of the new branch she has undertaken of training teachers, giving this work at the Con servatory of Music. is Miss Pearl Rosen- field. She advises ner little pupils as well as impressing her teachers class, to urge their pupils to join the club. Miss Rosen- field said:
 "The plan is a most excellent one and like all other phases of edu u3Ational work that of playing for and listening to the play ing of others should begin during the childs early years.
 "A student of any language invariably goes to study where he can constantly hear that language spoken; just as it is neces- sary for the student of music to learn the language he is studying. Speaking of, this, did it ever occur to you that
 music is the one language that is in- ternational or we might say univ ers1l?
 T feel sure the Junior club will prove
 to be a worthy and attracuve impetus
 to music study in Birmingham

THE WAR AT A GLANCE

Chief interest in military operations continues to center upon the Balkans. Field Marshal Won Mackenzen's forces from the north are gradually eating
 into the ground over which lies the Servian line of retreat The Servians, fighting in the mountain regions, how ever. seem to be holding the invaders
 to slower progress.
 In southern Servia resistance by the Servian forces opposing the Bulgarians and the increasing activity of the Franco British forces give hope to mili- tary observers in the allied capital that the enveloping operations by which the
 Servians seemed likely to be cut off from retreat may not succeed Allied operations around the vardar river are reported to be bringing results helpful to the Servians. particularly in the neighborhood of veles.
 Teutonic submarine activity continues in the Mediterranean. Announcements from London of the loss of merchant vessels seldom reveal where the sinking LOOK place, but several steamers re- ported today as having gone down ap-

 Jack Hornady, vice president is shown writing an account of Eds work in the garden. Jack is newspaper man in the making. He has a reputation for origi- nality in his writing. His latest story is ''The Awakening" in which he de- scribes a school boys awakening on Sat urday morning.
