London.-The Messine offensive was
the most successful attack which the
British have yet made, every single
objective that was marked in the pre-.

said Gen. F. B. Maurice, chief direc.

representatives of the press.
Comparing this assault with the
Somme battle, Gen. Maurice stated the
British gained on the first day more

first four days of the great conflict
along the Somme, while the British
casualties at Messines, using the same
periods for comparison, were only
one-fourth what they were In the

Still others can conceive of no music.

These lines are being written in the

It is the devout hope of the writer of

BY FORREST DAVIS

There are several conditions which
must exist before community music
al organization in Richmond can be
formed successfully.
They can be listed as follows:
Sufficient musical interest to de-
mand and support such an organiza.
ton must be reused;
There must be harmony among the
leading musical forces in the COM
munity. Now there are contending
elements, which, seemingly are as re-
motely-separated as the poles;
Must Submerge Personal Interest.
individuals must submerge person
al interest. no matter how much or
how little they have done for music in
the past. Fidelity to the cause Of good
music gives no man lief to assume do
minance of a community's musical
force;
All musical interests in the COM
munity must be enlisted. These in
clude students. music-lovers and clubs
composed of such. Then there are
the commercial musical interests.
These are dealers In talking machines,
pianos, ETC., and music teachers. They
all must work together tremendously.
A fractional Community Organiza-
ton is no Community Organization at
All.
This fact has been established IN
other centers where the community
ideal has been accepted.
In an Ohio city one man has wrest-
ed control Of community musical
body from the somnolent directors. He
has arranged concert course for next
year which obviously is selfish 1t is
designed to throttle another musical or
ganization, truly as representative OF
the community spirit.
A meeting has been called by R. B.
Jones, OF the Jones Hardware COM
pany, for next Tuesday evening in
Reid Memorial church.
At this meeting, which, | am told Is
open to all persons who truly are in
terested In Richmond's musical de-
velopment, sentiment will be sounded
to see whether community organiza-
ton is practicable.
Mr.. Jones has invited number OF
persons to this meeting and he ex-
poets free and open discussion of the
situation in Richmond.
Those persons who have been work
ing for the community ideal have met
