Modern Music.
During the present war music has
played its part with the military oper-
ations of every nation. The German
bands are everywhere with the regi-
ments and THE Watch on the Rhine"
can be heard through the weird
sounds of battle. This anthem became
popular during the Franco-Prussian
war. Many times its dignified rhythm
has so aroused the enthusiasm of the
German soldiers that they have
pressed on and on until trench after

Whenever there is a lull in the fighting

to heroic deeds.
The Allies have a number Of very
excellent bands to cheer their mon.
Among them the Royal Artillery band,
formed in 1862. Many persons who
have attained high rank In the musical
world began their career with this
organization.
The cavalry bands are different
from those of the infantry. Their ket-
tie drums, like those of the orchestra,
arc tuned to definite notes. They are
draped in beautifully worked drum
banners on which are often inscribed
the regimental honors. The earliest
date at which drums were carried on
| horseback was In 1912 when Henry
the Eighth sent to Vienna for kettle
drums that could be played on horse
back. and ever since that time the
British cavalry bands have been
equipped with these instruments. All

selection becomes favorite with the

was not composed for this war but
was sung in London music halls be-
fore the war began. Just wing it was
accepted as a war song has never been
explained. God Save the King was
first sung in 1899. and became popu-
lar during the Scotch rebellion in
1S45. The Scotch still cling to their
bagpipe rendition of Blue Bonnets
over the Border'-an air which stirs
the Scotchmans soul.
War brings out the patriotism of the
poet and national anthems are born
during the ebb and flow of the fortune
Of battle, the rally and rush attack
and the retreat, and in the enforced
waiting there are developed patriotic
songs which become a part of the
Nations life. Take for instance our
own "Star-Spansled Banner" an
apostrophe to the flag composed by
Key while he was held a prisoner and
now sung by the millions of our great
Republic.
The "Marsellaise," which is hear6
on the far flung battle lines in France
and Belgium, was composed by
young French officer, Rouget de Isle,
while he was visiting at the home OF
Major Dietrich in Strasburg in 1873.
The author was the son of royalist
parents and the song was intended for
the royalists but was adopted by the
Revolutionists and de Lisle heard 1t
played at the execution Of many Of his
friends. including his host at whose
fireside 1t was written. Indeed, the
author barely escaped the block HIM
self. He, however, lived to see his
song become the National anthem Of
his country.
Soldiers OF the dual monarchy in
the present war sing the noble Aus
trian anthem written by Hayden in
1897. This talented musician after a
visit to England returned to his home
so much impressed with the effect OF
God Save the King that he spoke to
the Prime Minister in regard to having
Austria. The poet Haschke was asked
to write tho words and Hayden COM
posed the music.

and this, by virtue Of his ability and
eminence through past achievements.

! fession Of rat-catcher is by no means
an insignificant one whichever way
you look at it. Why once, he will ex-
claim--if you are fortunate enough to
corner him and make him talk about
himself-during the early centuries
the position of rat-catcher was a royal
one in England and it's holder was
dubbed Rat-Catcher to the King. He
wore royal robes and was altogether
a dignitary Of superior standing. The
profession possesses a standing which
only age can give. In Italy in the
seventeenth century itinerant rat
catchers went about in company with
troubadors bearing proudly on their
shoulders a flag. which represented by
a drawing of a rat, the sign of the
craft. In China, where the rat
catcher holds equal dignity with our
modern butcher-for the Chinese are
as fond of rat as we are of beef-the
native catcher carries as the ensignia
of his profession a picture Of cat in
bag. So, you see, your descent into
the sewers of Paris was made in COM
pany with Frenchman who can trace
the lineage of his profession back to
the early middle ages and who prac-
tises this profession today in a manner
which outrivals that of the famed
Pied Piper OF Hamein."

it in their wars with the Messenians
and the Romans also long before the
time Of Julius Caesar. The military
music of past ages, as far as can be
learned, was often below the stage of
progress which the art of war had at
tanned in other branches and not until
the advent of the brass band did the
war music come into it's own. The
epoch in the history of military music
was the adoption of wooden instru-
ments with keys. This enabled melo-
dies to be played long before brass
instruments could do more than sound
their open" notes. The savage of to-
day beats his tom-tom and relies upon
its reverberatons to stir men to deeds
of courage, and the civilized leader
calls upon his bands to play lively airs
to arouse his men to heroic acts.
Military Marches.
In 1898, at the Battle OF Halidon
Hill, according to an old English his
tory, the English beat on their tabors
and the pipers piped loud and made a
rush at the enemy and drove them to
retreat" Military marches for soldiers
are believed to have originated in the
Thirty Years War; between 1913 and
| 164S, when Germany was in the bat
tlefield Of Europe. Folksongs came
about at that period. being invented to
inspire the troops with patriotism.

when man began to strive with
- y his fellow man in blood combat
we find mention of music as its accom-
paniment. In the Fourth Book OF
Moses it Is written:
'A9d God spake to Moses, Make
thee two trumpets of silver; of
whole piece shalt thou make them.
And thou shalt use them for the
calling of the congregation and for
the journeying of the camps. And
the sons of Aaron the priests, shall
blow with the trumpets; and when
We go to war in your own land
against the enemy that Expresses
you, then shall ye blow an alarm
with the trumpcts.'"
Also during the long war OF the
Ptolemies trumpets were utilized to
make the marches easier for the men
and to arouse patriotism in an attack
on the enemy. From the time of the
primitive trumpet to the brass band Of
today there has never been a period
when some form of instrumental mu-
sic has not been called upon to rouse
the enthusiasm of the soldier and to
put heart into the discouraged disciple
of Mars.
Military Music In The Early Days.

ployed by various nations of antiquity

bors and he did not like to venture so
far from home.
Nightly. he descends into under

work brings forth twenty or thirty rats
in the little wire cage which he always
carries with him on these expeditions.
Rats, they are indeed, and worthy of

which seldom measure less than TWEEN

heavy sack, pick and a small wire
cage. With this equipment he drives
in his little cart to the man-hole in the
pavement which gives an entrance to
the section which he has selected for
his hunt. Selling the pick he lifts
up the plaque which covers the open

are numbered. Quick into the cage it
goes. Victim number one has been
caught.
"Dayve draws near the lantern to
examine his prey more closely. He
seems disappointed, for this rat is not
very large and has some malady which
gives him dents in his skin. However,
the body is we'll developed, SO the rat
catcher, decides to take him along
Thus, the sewers of Paris are deprived
of one more Of their voracious guests

captured by Dayve, is the most COM

as pugnacious as full grown leopards,
Coming from north during the days Of
the Revolution, they have completely
supplanted the black rat. which is now
rare species in the sewers of the
French capital.
Taking up his lantern, the rat
catcher presses ahead for more of the
game. For six hours we furrow in the
galleries and twenty rats grace the
! little wire cage with their presence.
Each time a rat was caught the same
! little drama was enacted-the peculiar
whistle from Dayve, then the tempt
ing morsel and then the capture.

into the sweet air and brilliant light OF
the city.
Work or A Rat-Catcher.
"Then We have a chance to chat
with our rat-catcher about his work
And the first question that we ask
him is what he does with the rats
after he catches them. He tells Us
that the city is developing a corps Of
dog rat-catchers. 1t purchases rats
for use in training these dogs Also
the city has an organization which
fights the plague of rats by paying fol
all that are caught. These societie:

DOLLAR A POUND PAID
FOR WHITE SLAVE GIRL
REVOLVING AND HORRIBLE AT.
FAIRS REVEALED BY NEW
YORK PROSECUTORS.

NEW YORK-One dollar a pound
is the price actually paid in several
instances for immature young girls
auctioned off by white slavers to pro-
prietors of disorderly resorts in New
York, Assistant District Attorney
Smith, prosecuting the campaign
against the vice trust, declared to-
day.
From men and women now under
arrest and awaiting trial Smith has
obtained the most amazing confess
sions of the workings of the white
slave gang. Not only did they sys-
tematically set about to obtain school
girls for resorts, but on East Tween
ty-second street they maintained a
house where young girls, sometimes
partly and sometimes completely dis
robed, were sold to the highest bid
der.
eve learned today that in one in
stance agents for two disorderly
houses got into a dispute over the
value of a girl who had been put up
for sale," said the assistant district
attorney. "They finally agreed upon
price of dollar a pound. After
that it became common practice
to weigh all girls and announce their
weight to bidders"
Information regarding the white
slave auction was obtained after the
arrest of Dubitz Zubier, alias David.
Parish, and his wife in the Twenty
second street house. The district at
torney's Office investigated reports
that other similar places were main
tanned.
1t was recalled today that only a
few months ago a minister's daugh-
ter was kidnapped and auctioned off
nude before a gang in an Italian
dance hall.
The vice trust now under fire did
not by any means confne its activi-
ties to New York, Smith said. Most
of the girls were obtained from poor
families here Some of them were
kept in New York resorts, but 9th
ers were shipped to Chicago and
western cities. The trust maintained
representatives in several eastern
cities.

GIRLS ARE SUPERIOR
AS MUNITION WORKERS
IN SKILL AND OUTPUT OUT
CLASS MALE EMPLOYEES IN
DAYTON PLANT.

Women munition workers in the
factory owned and operated by w. j.
Dinner of Dayton, o., have demon
strated their worth so thoroughly
that they are receiving the same
wages as was formerly paid men for
similar work. They are more skilled
than men, less apt to become tired
while on the job and they are turn
ing out anywhere from two to 500
per cent more than men used to do
on the same machines. In the rooms
where men and women are employed
side by side Mr. Dinner finds that the
men have to hustle to keep up.
Mr.. Dinner has made a complete
transformation in his plant. Instead
of $50 women and 1000 men he
now employs 1000 women and $50
men. When an applicant asks for a
job the query to him is not, Can
you do mans work." but "Can
you do a woman's work."
The strange condition in the Oh
mer plant was brought about over a
year ago by strike among the men.
He was in New York city at the time
and wired the women that if they
stuck to their jobs they would re-
ceive the same pay as men. Now all
women are trained in a school for
apprentices and in three days have
learned their line of work.
