HANOVER BOY IS
ONU.S.FIRINGLINE
Son of Ex-Engineer of Kaiser's
Yacht Enlisted at Age of
II at Wars Outbreak

Hanover Pa, Dec. S.-Oscar
zimmerman, son of Mr.. and Mrs. e.
G. zimmerman, of this borough, is
probably the youngest soldier from
Pennsylvania, if not in the United
States, in the Regular Army CT
Uncle Sam. He enlisted last April
when only fourteen years old and is
now with the American Army in
France. His father saw service in
the German navy and was an en-
gineer on the Hohenzollern, EN-
peror Wilhelm's private yacht, and
frequently saw the kaiser.
Three years ago the boy began
reading the war news and eagerly
traced it's progress. Several times
he told his father that if the United
States got into the war he wanted
to enlist as soon as he was big
enough. Laying down his tools in
his fathers machineshop one day
soon after this country declared war
on Germany, young zimmerman said
he was going to try to enlist. The
parents did not object, but thought
the boy would not be accepted.
81 want to join the coast artillery"
said zimmerman to- the recruiting Off
Ger at York. Three days later he
passed the physical test at Harris
burg and was sent to Columbus, o.
There the officers in charge hesitated
two days before accepting so youth
full n recruit. When the consent Of
his parents was shown in writing he
was sworn into the service.
Two months later he was sent to
Fort Hamilton n. Y. Here he
passed another physical eXamina-
ton, but his youth was again ques-
toned. You are a brave boy to
enlist in defense of your country at
a." said the colonel. Later he was
transferred to Fort Adams, Newport
r. I, and a few days after passing
his fifteenth birthday the command
ing officer asked for volunteers for
the eXpeditionary force in France.
zimmerman was among the first to Of
fer his services, although he had
enliste donly for coast defense in
this country. He notified his parents
of his departure, and last month
they received their first letter from
him from France.

OF MUSIC UP
TO THE CHRISTIAN ERA

In an attempt to trace the evolu-
ton of music up to the Christian era
it was interesting to note that in that
art as in almost all the other arts,
the direction of growth was from the
east to the west, from the orient 20
the occident. Although it is true
that all primative tribes from the
very earliest time had their individu-
al chants and songs of war and peace,
yet when it comes Ito lasting i'm
preston of their contribution to that
field there is virtually none. The
Picts and Scots and the Saxon folk
living in western Europe may have
had some means of musically ex-
pressing themselves, other than
vocally, but at the present time there
is no means of proving the same.
The reasonable inference one can
draw then, is that they had not
sufficiently advanced to make their
art live.
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1917-12-08

With the oriental nations how
ever, there are distinct and in
dividual marks to show that with
them music was to an .appreciable
extent well-advanced art. The
means one has of judging is through
the medium of the ancient instru-
ments one finds among them today.
The Arabians, in the very earliest
era of civilization. brought forth as
their contribution to the field of
music. the stringed instrument. . In
that category one naturally places
the harp.
Ancient India, tho land of mys-
terry and magic, has as. its instru-
ment flute that was peculiarly
sweet and soft in it's strains and was
played by the Hindoo blowing upon
it through his nostrils.
China, whose music even now is
usonic, that is governed by no rules
of harmony, developed as its musical
instrument the 'shong," which ac-

acquitted of the charge of involun-
tary manslaughter in the Chambers
burg court and the, costs were placed
on the county. Circumstantial evi-

convince the jury that Mummert was
guilty of manslaughter in the death
of George B. Green, of near Green
castle, when he was struck by an
automobile driven by Mummert on
the night of November 8, and so
badly injured that he died several
