In ARMY CAMP
VERNON STILES, 4 FORMER
oTTUMWAN AND AN OPERA
STAR, SINGS WITH SOLDIERS.

Vernon Stiles, one of Ottumwa's
native sons who has gained wide
favor in grand opera roles and Is now
serving hia country as Captain Vernon
Stiles at Camp Devens in Aver, Mass.
is bringing song hack into the lives
of many men who had forgotten that
song ever existed
Captain Stiles, whom many Ottum-
vans well remember, Is given prom.
lnent mention in an article Mob
singing IN the Army and Out in the
december ID number of the Literary
digest. The article deals With the
hroadaned conception Of tie govern
ment In regard to it's duties TO its
troops and its .:'reaIlZation OF the prac-
ttcal value OF all sorts of social and
artistic stimuli In heisftening the
morale and efficiency Of the fighters"
DIRECTS CAMP SINGING.
Due to the influence of Captain
Stiles, singing has become an integral
part of camp drill at Camp Devens and
the singing among the mer is led by
Captain Stiles. 1t is not Only the rag
time music that appeals to the men
but the old songs are coming more
and more into favor
Mr.. Stiles counts heavily upon the
spontaneous impulse to song which
is found in all armies to form the
background for his musical organiza.
ton work. According to the article
in the Literary Digest, "a man who
undertakes to make camp of soldiers
express themselves spontaneously and
also In an artistic manner in song
must, first Of all. be good fellow with
a real, not assumed. regard for his
companions and must be practical in
organization and in communicating
his ideas Captain Stiles success
thus far proves his endowment with
these essentials.
URGES ALL TO SMILE.
Smiling is considered an important
attribute OF song by Captain Stiles, as
his first admonition to the men when
they gathered together rather skep.
tically for their first singing lesson
was, Show your teeth and smile
When they sing he insists tina. the
men open their mouth and lungs aud
make the words and the tune toll. He
does not insist upon delicate cistjnc.
ton OF vocalism, but song is tie result,
nevertheless.
This is the beginning of what Cap.
tain Stiles calls mob singing all
over America. He believes tl,at the
men will not leave their singing he.

with them into the trenches and whcn
they come home will bring with them
