MUSIC MASTERS GIVE TREAT TO
 SWITZERLAND
(By Associated Pressl

BERNE, Switzerland, June % --- Switzerland has been enjoying for six months a veritable riot of music adn art, furnished by the experts, the ultra fayorite and ultra accomplished artists and organizations Of all tna surround ing countries. The Paris Symphonic Orchestra has been succeeded by the Court Opera players from Vienna, and they by Arthur Nikisch. while he in turn has given way to the Comedie Franchise. There has scarcely been a week when some noted musical or theatrical organization has not been touring the country
 They have been well, even enthusi- astically received. Large audiences invariably greeted them - and always they have had to pay big prices eco for Switzerland. Nikisch hal To stand and bow almost continuously for a quarter of an hour before his aJdience would let him leave the stage. and when he did retire it Was to frantic shouts of "Auf Wiedersehn and "Au Revoir."
 The action of Norway. however, in refusing to sanction Niklsrh's concert trip there brought to the surface the disgruntled complaints of not incon- siderable portion of tho Swiss public which has not weIe0mad strangers here, but has seen lhetn come with good deal of bitterness. Their op- position is two-fold These critics feel that the real purpose of this sud den and absolutely unprecedented in- flux of foreign talent is spbtly 10 ere ate sentiment in favor of one side or the other in the present conflict. They object also to the implied pat ronage of the artistic visits. These people never saw fit to come to Us in peace times" is the way one obiector recently expressed it. "In those days they never deigned to look at Switzer- land. If they could induce us to come
 
 pay good money to hear or see them, then we'll and good. But we didn't exist as far as they were concerned until the war"
 In addition to these objections, the Swiss in many instances. claim that they are really being defrauded by the visiting artists. who bring only par tially complete orchestras or compan- ies, filled with substitutes and under studies. all of whom, however, are in tent on obtaining all the money pos sible.
 Hence the action of Norway was greeted in certain circles, as an indl- cation that Norway had displayed common sense. and above all more moral courage than Switzerland

TRENCH TALES

A Canadian told the story of a Hun retirement and a trap they left for the incautious. We had moved for ward a good bit after the first fort. night of this new advance. and we were holding an old Fritz trench as our first line. One night saw what looked like big flares going up, some way behind the German line. When my officer came along l reported this to him. I guess they're clearing out, he said. I'll tell the colonel Next morning three platoons were sent for ward to investigate. and as there was no resistance, the whole of that part of the line moved forward It was a bit of surprise and everybody was more or less muddled for the time. went across and just as I got there. l noticed in the German front line one of the duckboards cut in two. A man went up and put his foot on it and immediately about five yards of the trench went up with a huge bang. wounding several After that he found few more of the same sort in the communication trenches. so the officer made us explode them with heavy stones. We found there was just two bombs under each of them.

EXERCISE: MOS I NECESSARY TO
 CHILDREN

WASHINGTON, June 29. = It is of him to a good carriage of body. The power to hold the body erect is wholly lacking at birth, and is acquired, with some difficulty, at about two years of age.
 While the body is developing in every part the mother should take note of the manner in which the child stands, how he sits and how he car ries his head. An erect spine is ne. cessary not only for beauty and graca but for health. Slouching, stoop or crooked shoulders detract much from the appearance, and the curved spine allows the upper part of the body to press into the trunk and de- prives the stomach, heart and other organs of some of their proper space so that they must work at disalvan- tage.
 In order that a child may learn the habit of an upright carriage. much ex- ercise is necessary, especially out doors. This will strengthen the muscles of the back and make it easier to hold the body erect later when growth is rapid.

AGED SERGEANT PROVES HERD OF
 BATTLEFIELD
(By United Press)

PARIS, June 29. - American fathers of youths who have been, and who in the near future will be fighting in great numbers on the battlefields of Europe, can listen to the example set for them by Sergeant Jean Gaglio, 62 year old poilu of the Third Zouaves.
 His gray hair showing under the tasseled red fez of the famous Afri- can regiment, which has fought from the campaign of Tunis to Verdun, Ser geant Gaglio is today somewhere in France still getting revenge from the enemy for the death of his son.
 When war began the son marched away with his fathers old regiment Before a month had passed the son occupied soldiers grave in Belgium. The news soon reached the father Without hesitation the red trousers and red fez of the Zouaves were donned by the aged Gaglio, and he hurried direct to the old regiment to fill the place left vacant by the German bullet which took his only son.
 Five war medals hang on the old mans breast now. Defying the enemy and death hundreds of times, Gaglio has taken toll for his loss and his medals are evidence He never takes them off.
 Seriously wounded in the French as. sault at Tracy el Val, he was carried to a hospital. Surgeons shook their heads and ordered his immediate dis. charge from the army.
 But the old poilu mastered his wounds and demanded the privilege of taking his place in the aine.
 He rejoined his regiment when the German hordes of the crown prince were throwing their full force towards Verdun. He was one of those men whose names will live immortal in France for having stemmed the Ger man tide, time and again, lived for weeks under hellish artillery fire and won.
 After Fort Vaux had fallen the old soldiers regiment was transferred to defense of the works of Thiaumont and the village of Fleury. The furi- ous struggle here for days was the talk of the world. Gaglio was in it all It won him the rank of sergeant. It also gave him the Metallic Miltaire, the fifth evidence of bravery to grace the tunic of the aged man. Here Is how the army order spoke of Gaglio:
 Engaged in the regiment to replace his son, who has been killed by the enemy. Has never ceased to give the greatest example of courage and ab- negation and to show his white hair in the front ranks. Wounded, he has gained the rank of corporal in Febru- ary at Louvemont, and that of ser geant in the heavy fighting at Fleury."
 Gaglio is still at the Germans get. ting more revenge for the death of his son.

BRITISH CYC[|ST MILITIA LIN
 GUARD
(By Associated Press)

HEADQUARTERS OF THE BRIT ISH HOME DEFENSE ARMIES. Eng land, June 29. - Since the b inning of the war the coasts of the Limited Kingdom have been guarded by the British bicycle militia or "cyclist pa trol," and today the cyclists still are on guard against German invasion. But the golden opportunity for Ger man assault in force upon Britain's shores has passed. No longer do few cyclists stand guard alone over important landing places, as they did for many days after war was de- clared.
 "Ths danger of invasion appeared very great to us in those days" said the commander of one of the cyclist battalions the other day. "We had to put forth the most colossal efforts to get our defense organization up to adequate pitch.
 ''If the German regarded an invasion of England as a fearsome task then. he must regard it as hopeless impos- ability now. Where we formerly had only a small detachment of cyclist troops to guard possible landing place. there are now thousands of trained soldiers living in huts or bill let's close to hand, with guns. trenches and dugouts all along the sand dunes, and plenty of support also from aero. planes, observation balloons, subma, rines and coast defense vessels. In 1914 the German invader would have been opposed largely by half trained troops straight from workshops and offices, while today he would have to meet men the equal in physique and fighting ability Of anything the world has ever seen."
 The actual work of protecting land ing places has long since been taken

out of the hands of the cyclist bat talions, who have become more pure ly a coast patrol. Their duties now adays occasionally are varied by the capture of various objects of interest washed up by the tide. such as mines. bodies, wreckage and life buoys. The mines are destroyed by guncotton, af fording a few moments of pleasure and excitement for the patrol.
 Hundreds of sailors from torpedoed ships have received their first welcome to land from cyclist patrols along lone ly coasts. Company headquarters con tain dozens of accounts of such en- counters, always in the stiff official language in which the British army and navy always clothes its deeds of heroism. Here is such report from cyclist patrol, culled at random from a file at headquarters:
 Sighted small open boat drifting towards shore. This about dawn dur. ing binding snowstorm. Occupants too exhausted to use oars. Big sea running. Boat reached breakers and overturned. Patrol, with assistance from nearby huts, summoned by rock cts, succeeded in saving all but three. who were too numbed from exposure to make any effort One of our motor transports arrived promptly and took survivors to farm house. Bodies three drowned later taken to headquarters. " On dark nights the patrols frequent ly encounter small ships which have gone on sand bars owing to the lack of guiding land lights. A patrol must take every precaution against some enemy ruse in such case. AS soon as word Is received that ship is ap. preaching the shore force of reserves is summoned and takes up a defensive position with machine guns. Then boarding party is sent aboard the vessel to examine her and make a re port. Even if there is nothing sus, picious about the vessel a guard in left aboard to prevent anyone coming ashore or possibly communicating with hostile agents on shore.
