FIRST REGHNENTBAND
KICKED OUT BY CHIEF
FOR REQUESTHNGLEAvE
Dismissal by Colonel Charles G.
Allen Amounts Virtually to
Dishonorable Discharge.
New Musicians Sought
ACCUSED OF STACKING"

william Il. Chaplin. chief musician OF
the First Regiment, is taking steps today
to recruit rs musicians to take the places
made vacant by Colonel Charles c. Allen,
when he unceremoniously clicked out" OF
the service Kendle's First Regiment Band
for nearly 80 years an ornament OF the
Dandy First" on all parade and gala occa-
slons.
The bsndsmen, with the single exception
Of Chaplin, who has been q years In the
regiment. received what virtually amounts
to dishonorable discharge virtually in the
face of the enemy, and the members of the
command today are loud in their denun-
olatlon Of the action OF the musicians, which
is regarded by officers and enlisted men
alike as a stigma on the hitherto clean
record Of the regiment.
Colonel Aliens action was taken under
Section rs, OF the Military Code OF the
State OF Pennsylvania. This section gives
to the commanding officer Of q regiment the
power to dismiss for the good of the serv-
ice members of his command for causes
which to him appear to be warranted
Members OF the band appealed to Colonel
Allen to the be relieved OF service that they
might earn little extra money during the
Ad Mems Convention
Colonel Allen gave them permission to
remain at home He gave them leave to go
wherever they cared to go, 80 Ions as they
never again crossed the path of him or his
regiment He used military language, but
II didn't express his opinion OF the band,
collectively or individually. Neither did he
employ terms similar to those used todny
by the officers ana men as they assembled
about tho armory.
Not word in defense of the bands atti-
tude was to be heard. sympathy was eK-
pressed for Chief Musician Chaplin, the lone
exception to the scathing denunoiaton OF
Colonel Allen. Chaplin felt the disgrace as
keenly as the other members of the 1st.
He promises to have 2S pieces Of music
ready for service when the regiment
marches out to Mt Gretna on Saturday.
In the brigade turnout tomorrow he may
have to depend on the field music, but he
believes the dismissal of the mercenary
bandmen will have the effect of inducing
loyal musicians TO flock to the armory and
offer their services
Colonel Allen declares that not one of the
men dismissed shall be enrolled in tho regi-
mont as long as he Is Colonel and this
sentiment is echoed by every other officer.
Their professed reason for not wanting
to 20 with the regiment" he explained,
was that they wanted to keep an engage
ment to make some extra money in the
parade next week of the advertising clubs.
II the advertising men want them, they are
welcome to their servioeS.
1--WE are done with them. We want
musicians who are patriotic enough to
know their duty and we have not the slight
ost doubt that we will be able to get such
men. Meanwhile the patriotic people Of
Philadelphia may take notice that II is
no longer the 1st Regiment Band of the
National Guard of Pennsylvania"

In connection with the lack of officers,
the captain said there will not be anywhere
near a sufficient number to drill the naval
militia which will shortly take cruises on
the ships at the yard. incidentally, many OF
the craft there present a rather forlorn APP
paarance and some are almost ready for
the scrap heap.
There are at present Is fighting ships at
the yard, including bRttleships, cruisers tor
pedoboats and torpedoboat destroyers. All
of the battleships and cruisers are under
manned. They have only 20 per cent. or
the full quota of officers and only about
40 per cent. of the seamen needed. Marines
are a rarity In fact there Is not one in
sight on any of the ships. Nearly all of
them are in Haiti.
These crews are competent enough TO take
tho ships on cruises to various ports or on
semipleasure jaunts but could not take one
of the battleships or cruisers into battle
Most of the men, who yearn for speed and
action, show little enthusiasm for the cottins
of steel and iron which are sumberng In

yard each about $50 feet in length. are all

No preparations are being made for en-

But the night watchman aboard these

This condition of affairs was discovered

HOW RUSSIA is
LEARNING By WAR

BY WILLIAM PHILIP SlMMS
Special to Gateway by United Press)
PETROGRAD, July I4.-This is the
tale Of a cow. Believers in the trans
migration Of souls would do well to
read it because it relates how Bos-
sic, good and gentle, lost her life on
the Russian battlefelds and came
back to it agiau as a pair Of boots,
Likewise the stroy explains one Of
the thousand and one activities of the
Zemstyo Union, Russian citizen
organization composed of plain peo-
pie and gentry and how it is backing
up the country.
Bessie, among a large number of
cattle grazing along the Russian bat
tlefront, met her death one fine morn
ing by being too close to an Austrian
shell when it exploded. There were
so many dead cattle that the General
Staff felt it a pity to let all the hides
go to waste, so the attention of the
Zemstvo Union was called to the mat
ter.
And the Union went into the hide
skinning business.
Hides make leather and leather
make boots, boots being one Of the
articles with which the Zemstvo is
helping equip the army. So the
zemstvO decided to open a tannery
of its own.
But tanin was scarce and hard to
get. Russia had depended upon Ger
many for practically all her chemicals
and the war had cut off tanin along
with most everything else Of that
nature.
About this time the government
called the Zemstvo's attention to a
tanin factory down near Kieve, idle
since hostilities began. Among the
specialities mobiuzed by the Union
are the Russian chemists, so some of
these were sent down to open up the
tanin works. They did. Instead of
an output Of 10000 to $4,000 pools
"a pOOd is Sc pounds) per month as
turned out by this factory in peace
times, the Zemstvo workers made it
yield 1900 pools or a so per cent
increase.
The tannery took care Of the hides
collected by the Union and BOssies
skin soon became the best quality
leather. To a Union boot and shoe
factory it now went, there to be trans
formed into as solid a pair Of boots as
soldiers ever trod in.
