FAMED AS SOLDIER TRAINER

Brig. Gen. James Parker, COM
mander Southern department, was
born in New Jersey February 20, 1854,
and appointed to the military academy
from that state in 1872. In 1876 he
was made second lieutenant in the
Fourth cavalry, and has continued in
that arm of the service except during
the Spanish-American war, when he
served in the infantry, with increased
rank.
General Parker is looked upon as
possibly the best trainer of troops In
the United States army. During his
many years of active service he has
probably trained more new men than
any other officer in the service, and In
a similar capacity he is expected to
accomplish great results from the new
National army. He Is medal of honor

If the most interesting interviews OF

things remain to be done after the
war. and how far the daring invesd-
gator of the future may hope to go.
Sir Ernest is confident that when
the war is over the spirit of daring
and adventure that has brought men
from all lands to seek excitement on
the battlefield will lead them to strike
Tor new trails, and to look for new
thrills in the field of exploration.
For the United States, he cut out

UNCLE SANS CHIEF MUSICIAN

Lieut.. John Philip Sousa of the
Naval Reserve Is one of the most ac-
tive men In the United States just ut
present. The government has COM
mandeered his ability for building
bands and is using 1t in the creation of
military musical organizations which
will serve with the American forces.
The huge Naval Reserve band at Great
Lakes. near Chicago. was organized by
Lieutenant Sousa, and the eyes of the
accomplished band leader sparkle with
delight as he describes this wonderful
body of young men who are making
music for Uncle Sam. There are $50
members in the band. When they turn
out In force, clad in their snow-white
uniforms. they are everywhere greeted
with rousing applause.
During q recent tour in Canada at
the head of his own band Lieutenant
Sousa found that large proportion Of
his audience consisted of wounded Ca
