SINGERS AFTER REHEARSALS
ARE IN FIRST CLASS CONDITION

Many persons are expected to be
in attendance at one of the most in
teresting and inspiring cantatas that
will ever have been gwen in this city
which is scheduled for this evening
in the Technical High school. The
Harrisburg Christian Endeavor
Choral Union, composed of singers
from all denominations of this city
and vicinity, organized to advance
the interest of music in the various
churches and cooperate in union
efforts, will hold their eighth annual
May musical festival. The oratorio
Elijah" will be sung under the di-
rection of Professor Frank A. Nc
Carrell, assisted by Mrs. Roy G. Cox,
soprano; Mrs. II. T. Hertzler, con-
tralto; NJ. d. Hollenbaugh, tenor,
and George Sutton, baritone.
Charles S. Urich, president of the
Harrisburg G. Il. Union, will pre-
side and the Rev. George N. Lauffer,
pastor St Johns Lutheran Church,
Steelton, will have charge of the de-
votional exercises. Miss Catherine
ID. Heikes will preside at the piano
and music will be furnished by a ten
piece orchestra.
Chorus III First Glass Condition
Rehearsals for the high class mu-
sicale have been held periodically
for u number of weeks and the
chorus is in a first-class condition to
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1917-05-08

render one of the most classical pro-
ductions written by the famous au-
thor, Mendelssohn.
The singing of Gospel music and
oratorios in these late years has
been given a much more prominent
place, has rung with more domi-
nant tone, inspired by the realiza-
ton of the conflict and with the
knowledge of ultimate victory,
which is more and more being felt.
With all this we have been COM
manded to Come before His pres
ence with singing" and the Bible
tells us that I'm His presence is full
ness of joy" So, is it not possible
to believe that where there is singing
there is fullness of joy?
The chorus and quartet parts will
show great effect in the rendition of
the oratorio. The most prominent
character is Elijah, which will be
taken by Mr.. Sutton, while other
members OF the chorus will be lust
as important to make big hit in
musical class.
Sing in Nearby Towns
The Harrisburg G. e. Union choir
was organized February 2, 1909, in
the Bethlehem Lutheran Church, at
which time the following officers
were in active service: President, J..
Frank Palmer; vice-president. w. D..
Parkhill; secretary, Miss Anna Nc

Kelvey; treasurer, Charles r. Bart
ley; pianist, Miss Bessie Ryan; mu-
sic committee, Is. A. Booser, chair
man. The name of the choir was
then changed to Harrisburg c.. e.
Choral Union, in January 20, 1910.
During the past eight years annual
concerts have been a help to many of
the city churches and the surround
ing towns. The choral sang at the
county almshouse, hospital, the City
Rescue Mission, and district Sun
day school conventions. Thirty five
members attended meeting at
Shocks Mills where valuable SER
vices were given to the church at
that place. At the State c. L. con-
vention in July, 1916, the choral
union rendered excellent music
throughout the evening programs.
The rehearsals during the past two
months have been very we'll attend
ed. The highest attendance was SO
at one meeting. During the year
twelve members have not missed a
rehearsal. The secretary, Miss Anna
McKelvey, has not missed a rehear-
sal since the organization was form
ed eight years ago.
The choral rendered music and
valuable religious services at the fol-
lowing places: Enola, Blain, Pen
brook, Mechanicsburg, Steelton,
Wormleysburg, Camp Hill, Eberly's
Mills, Sunbury and PaXtang,

John New, 2S years old, seized the
woman by the hair and dragged her

We sometimes forget that a stud

cept an inherited tendency toward
doing anything rather than settl-

Barrows Iron Mines 9

The little town of Barrows, near
old Grow Wing, is beginning to loom
up again, and property owners
there are beginning to feel encour-
aged.
On account of the abandonment
of the Barrows mine two years ago
|the village became practically
abandoned, but two mines have
now commenced work, and there
is every indication that much work
will be done there within a very
short time.
The mine commonly known at
Barrows as the Buchanan Mine may
also be opened before long as it is
learned that some of the owners
wish this to be done. The Buck
man Mine has the reputation OF
having the richest ore of any OF
the mines Oh the Cayuna Range.
A syndicate Of business men of
Duluth and St. Paul, and two OF
this place, have under consideration
the drilling of their properties at
old Grow Wing and vicinity, and
Lone of them, who is now living at
Barrows, is looking over the situa-
tion with this In view.

the Indian point of view since
then. 1t is primary rule in the
tactics of all nations now to take
advantage of the terrain that Is,
the topography of the country. 1t
there are trees to mask an advance,
every advantage which the cover
gives is taken for all that it is
worth. 1t is 10 longer considered
unchivalrous or unmilitary to
make feint attacks from the front
while the main attack is made in
the flank or in the rear. Any
military tribunal of today would
have cashiered Braddock. He
would be regarded as a man utter
~ ignorant of the first principles
Of military science.
Perhaps we may not be able to
prove that the credit for the khaki
colored clothing which makes the
modern soldier such difficult
mark for the enemy riieman be-
longs to the American Indian.
But the fact remains that the In
dian was the first to adopt a fight
ing costume which made him hard
to distinguish against the back
ground. The dun of the deerhlde
clothing which the American In
dian wore was as hard to dlstlr-
yllish as the khaki of the Ameri-
can or British armies or the dull
gray of the German army. The
white clothing which the German
armies in Russia used for advanc-
ing through the snow is an adap-
tation of the American Indian s
scheme of making himself look
like his back ground. The Indian
never had any artillery, but he
paved the way for the masked
batteries.
The incendiary bomb used in
Europe was another invention OF
the American Indian. Long be-
fore he knew the use Of gunpowd-

Oklahoma Indians.

The land allotted to most of the
Oklahoma Indians is very good,
and their: living conditions are,
therefore, much easier than those
of many tribes in the North, the
Sioux for example. The oil found
,on some of the Oklahoma lands
makes them extremely valuable,
and as the opening of the oil
country has necessitated the build
ing Of perfect network of rail-
roads, transportation of farm pro-
ducts is easy and markets readily
accessible. There are many ea-
celIent farms, the wonderful wheat
crops literally covering parts OF
ekhe state with fields Of golden

The difficulty Indian young
people have in getting a start on
their farms is very real, and many

wide intervals between the men
just as he had done and he notes
with grim approval how the in
fantrymen take advantage of the
topography of the country. Then,
as he sees the advance by rushes,
a squad or platoon oarting for
ward from opposite sides of the
line to bat1l lie the fire Of the enemy,
as be knows that field tactics as he
designed were. good.
And that is all that the original
American has left to his country.
His music does not amount to
much. his folk lore is not worth
the preserving, but his military
tactics have. stamped their intlu-
ence indelibly upon the American
army. What has happened over
in Europe during the last two
years may entirely change the
field tactics of the United States
army, but at the present writing
the principle Of open order, bor-
rowed form the original American
infantry, the Indian host, domin-
ates the American field tactics.
The first of the paleface gener-
ais, to admit the military genius OF
the American Indian was George
Washington. That was during
the French and Indian wars, when
Washington was attached to the
Braddock expedition. The .ele
mentary histories tell how Wash
ington tried to impress the stub
born English commander with the
folly Of fighting in close forma-
ton in the wilderness. Wash
ington suggested that the English
expedition adopt the Indian tactics
and take advantage of the country.
Braddock refused and the refusal
to adopt the Indian tactics was
disastrous to the expedition.
