Those much harassed gentlemen on
whose shoulders rests the response

an important phase of the undertake.
ing called to their attention in
letter of Arthur Farwell to Maj. Gen.
]. Franklin Bell.
Mr.. Farwell found in his recent ex-
perience in the officers training
camp at Plattsburg that the men like
to sing, that the greater number OF
them have good voices-but they do
not sing. They content themselves
with whistling the refrain of songs,
because they do not know the words
This II the reason why the men now
in training whistle on march much
more frequently than they sing, they
are not familiar with the words Of
songs whose swing and rhythm make
them suitable for company singing.
Many army officers are inclined to
minimize the Importance of music in
camp-particularly at this time when
unframed men are being rushed
through a bewilderinE mass of new
work that they may take up new
and grave responsibilities. They are
inclined to grudge the time which
the singing leader takes from other
duties. But men like General Bell
know differently. II is for these
officers high up to see that the sched-
ule in camps where the new draft
army is trained is so arranged that il
will provide time for company sing
ing. and that the music in the camps
is standardized so that companies re-
forming on the field OF battle will
have the same songs on their lips
when "the order stlrs the line" and
the men go out to the grim work
which is theirs TO do.
