pioneer souls in the crowd who dared
lift their voices, but when Mr.. Barn

chorus's help the whole 5000 answered
the call with q concert Of voices that
brought cheers from the trained sing
ers on the platform.
No, only 1880 OF them we're singing
that time, for there was one man who
had to have a special invitation from
M Barnhart before he would join. He
was a big policeman standing on duty
close TO the platform, and evidently
felt ne was exempt from musical duty.
Mr.. Barnhart called out: "Come on. you
policeman" Upon which command the
big fellow joined in.
Mr.. Barnhart varied the usual pro-
gramme of his "song fest" last night
by introducing little physical exer-
else to keep the crowds from CONCEAL

The amount Of power received by these

Lamont Predicts
Banker, Back From Europe.
Says We Must Prepare
for 1919 and 1920

Realization tha. the war Is far from

1918, 1919 ond 1920 will 20 a long way
toward q victory for the Allies, accord.
ing TO Thomas ". Lamont, Of the frm
of J. P. Morgan e. Co.
Mr. Lamont's views are based upon
bis personal observations Of European
conditions NJ close range, made in the
course Of a two months visit to Eng.
land and France. The outstanding feat.
urs OF his observations, ne said, was
:hc eviden. fact that the people Of this
country still fail 70 grasp the magri.
tude OF the task before them.

came assured. One does not have 70
cross the ocean TO realize that tha. i.

victory Il close At hand. But il will
soon be in eiyht IL we once realize that
we must now prepare, not only Cor
1918, but tor the campaign Of 1919 and
1920.
Great Britain and France have had
three and a half years OF cruel, grind
ing war. They have welcomed Amer
ica's entry, not simply because Of her
great resources in men and food and
munitions. but also because CT the
fresh viewpoint she is likely 70 bring
20 bear in the whole conduct Of the
war. This applies no; only to military
operations, but also in considerable
measure % Allied diplomacy.
president Wilson Is looked upon as
having displayed great wisdom in
choosing the time and manner OF
Americas coming into the struggle, and
our Allies across the water welcome
with confidence his opinion upon all
the great problems that confront the
Allied nations. his recommendation Of
war against AustriarHungsry, promptly
followed By the declaration Of it BY
Congress, had most heartening effect
upon Italy and has certainly been one
Of the factors 20 stimulate and
strengthen her recent military move
ments. You also near Il constantly re-
heated abroad that President Wilson
will do much 20 bring about that closer
unity of action that all the Allied
statesmen are agreed is necessary for
the more vigorous prosecution OF the
war"
The people and the press in bota
London and Paris, Mr. Lamont said,
have expressed the greatest appreeiA.
ton Of the spirit shown and The ground
covered by the American mission
headed by Colonel Z. VI. House.
Mr. Lamont denied that his trip had

his stay he spent much Of his time IN
