Lberati Band
and Opera Co.
Make Big Hi

Liberatfs concert band and opera
company scored a distinct hit in
their initial appearance at Spring
brook park yesterday afternoon.
The band is a well balanced Or
ganization of 40 pieces and the vari-
Gus soloists are masters of their in
struments. This was specially no
ticed in the clarinet duet and the
euphonium solo. the men playing
the former number being Messrs.
Almonte and Panasci. and the latter
musician Mr.. Salvatore Florio.
The fist number was Halter =
march. MY Life or My Country
a snappy, peppery piece with a slide
trombone quartet in the trio and
Liberati himself handling The solo
cornet part.
In the vocal selection rom
"Ernani." Verdis we'll known mas
terpiece. the opera company of 10
was introduced. Accompanied by
the entire band, the four principals
and chorus of II voices made the
park ring with the simple melodies
from the famous old opera.
Miss Katherine Klarer pleased
the audience with her fine soprano
voice and was ably assisted by Miss
Louise Biggers, cOntralto. and
Messrs. Bald and Marina, tenor and
baritone respectively.
The concluding selection in part
one of the program was spoiled for
the hearers by the peddler who
rushed through the grandstand in
curing in a loud. racOus voice il
any one wished
Soda pop. peanuts and cracker
jack" and a small boy who shouted
Programs, programs, only five
cents,''
This distraction was continued un-
til the overture was nearly complet-
ed. when several men in the au-
dience took matters into their own
hands and amid a shower of cush-
ions. intimated 20 the peanut seller
that his presence was no longer re-
quired-at least while the music was
going on.
Perhaps the most popular song
during the afternoon was the Nea-
politan ballad Mari Maria Capua.
Everyone in the grandstand was
familiar with the pretty tune and
il received more applause than any
OF the other numbers including even
the ''Miserere" from lei Trova-
tore" which was given by request

Seek to Have Two
Children Removed
From Parents Care


Whether Mr.. and Mrs. Leo Dewey
of 429 Connecticut avenue, will be al
lowed to retain their children Will De
decided at a hearing to be held pc
fore Judge Miller in the prooate
court. Wednesday morning, at 1O:So.
The children are Louise, aged five and
RAYMOND, two. The children are
now at the Fresh Air Home In FAIR
field and were. taken away from the
parents, Saturday, by Alexander E:
Morrissey, investigator of the ooaro
of charities.
A petition to have the. parents re-
moved as guardians was brought oy
p. O. Hull, agent of the Connecticut
Humane society, after complaints nad
been made by neighbors of the Deweys
that, the children were being neglect
ed. They were neatly dressed and
appeared anything but neglected when
Investigator Morrissey took them In
charge. The parents. who intend TO
remove to Springfield, will fight to

LIKE. MACHINE GUN FIRE.

Some Of our British friends have
been good enough TO say that the LIST
Canadian division saved the whole
Allied line around Ypres when the AL
gerians broke under the first gas at
tack, said Sir Sam Hughes. At any
rate they held 10 times their number
of Germans for three days. -
How did they do it? They did it
with rifle fire. When they went to
Valcartier I put them on the rifle
range. 1t was all rapid fire work.
While one man shot, two comrades
were in the target pit scoring. Every
man took his turn at the butts,
They learned not only to shoot but
to hear the thud of the bullets with
out f1inching. They were kept at
rife practice increasingly until they
were the best shots in any army in the
world.
I understand that the average per-
centage in all European armies would
be somewhere between Is and 20. The
poorest battalion in the LIST Division
had an average Of 81 and two batta-
lions averaged above 70.
We had men in that outfit who could
fire 35 rounds in minute. The mini
mum to qualify is Is. It was the abil-
ity to shoot fast and accurately that
enabled the Canadians to do what they
did at st. Julien.
Once when the Germans took a bit
of Canadian trench thety found in it
only eight men, every one wounded
Where is your machine gum" de-
manded the German officer. 1--WE
have none," said the Canadians. "You
lis," replied the officer. '"That hell we
just came through was not rifle fire.
But it was rifle fire and nothing else.
