IMMIGRATION HELPS
CAUSE OF MUSIC NUS

Music has been greatly helped b
immigration. There Is much con
jecturing just now As to an aftsr-thO
war immigration policy, but looking
back It is readily seen to what an sx,
tent the cause Of music In our eountrJ
has been advanced by the coming ts
our midst Of those from across the
ocean who desired to make new homes
for themselves in this FERTILE coun-
try.
Like other branches Of art, musis
has prospered in the old world, and
this Is only natural During the yearI
when immigration flowed to ouI
shores there came those who had been
reared in an atmosphere Of music And
to them and their children we owe .
deep debt Of gratitude.
From among this class came q good
ly proportion OF our church organista
orchestra players, bandsmen and mu
sic teachers. Be It said to than
credit, many OF them were firm b
levers in having music in thsiE
homes. Those who came from Tia
foreign countries Of Europe brought
love Of singing and playing in theII
hearts.
It astonishes one, who has not had
occasion to know. to learn to what
extent our foreign population are
purchasers OF talking machine rec
ords. Many Of them delight In the
opera records. Their children soak
up the musical training the public
schools give like q large sponge In
dribble of water. II the greatness
of this country's future lies to . very
substantial extent in the new Citizen
ship nodded from q fusion OF tempera-
ments, then to the rank and fils Of
our foreigners win much credit be due
for the introduction Of more music
among the masses.
To the advanced musicians from Eu-
rope who came to rs and have since
beeoms stanch and loyal Americans
goes q good measure Of credit for mu-
sical leadership. with the formation
that is laid, may every one DO his part
in making the United States . really

LEAGUE OF AMERICAN
MUSICIANS PLANNED

Musicians throughout the United
States are no longer to be strangers
to each other II the plans Of the
musicians' clubs of New York and Los
Angeles materialize. These clubs
propose a league of similar societies,
so that musicians visiting in the
different cities may enjoy social ad-
vantages, and SO that eventually the
association may exert a powerful in
fiuence in the musical world.
II we have advertising clubs.
Masonic organizations, theatrical So
cieties and various other types Of
societies and clubs with affiliations
throughout the country. why cannot
It be made possible to have q chain
OF musicians clubs7
The idea of forming a league Of
musicians clubs originated at q meet
ing between David Bispham, vice
president Of the Musicians Club OF
New York, and Thomas Taylor Drill,
president OF the Musicians Club of
Los Angeles. As there are now
musicians clubs In every important
city in the United States. the project
to link them more closely together
seems quite feasIble.
Mr.. Drills statement concerning the
plan, as given recently in Musical
America" is significant:
I'VE hope to amalgamate all the
musicians clubs OF America into a
concrete body for the betterment and
uplift OF the musical profession
"Also we hope that through this
means we may help the musician to
take his proper place as an active
factor in the civic affairs OF his COM
munity as well as OF the nation. How
often is the musician called upon to
participate in conferences on civic
matters? Although the profession in
cludes any number or men and women
OF high intellectual ability and of in
valuable experience, their opinions
and cooperation are not sought un-
less It is for some purely musical con-
sideration. They are looked upon
more as public entertainers than as
citizens whose interests or views rank

Americans Find
Music More Vital
Than Europeans

More and more as the days OF war
talk and war preparation go by the
people of this country are beginning
to realize that STRAINS of martial
music are as great a factor in the
work OF equipping an army as the
bullet and gun. Where the latter
mean death and devastation to the
enemy the former means courage and
spirit to the American soldier.
There is probably not a soldier un-
der the United States flag today who
is not spurred on to greater accom-
plishment for the protection of his
country and is made to feel keenly
the glory OF his native land. when he
hears strains OF songs that he sung
back home"
Nothing thrills the folks at home
who have contributed a son or a
loved one to the cause more than the
singing of patriotic songs.
In thousands of Washington homes
today, both from those that have fur
niahed volunteers and those who have
done their bit in some other manner,
there are being sung daily the new
and the old songs that breathe a
blessing on the lighting forces OF
America
Harold Bauer, the noted pianist, is
not an American, which Of itself en-
phasizes his tribute to Americans,
when he says that music is a more
vital need to Americans than II Is to
Europeans.
Americans find In music a reflection
OF their own feelings; II is for them
a vehicle for sentiment and emotion,
is the substance of Mr.. Bauer's belief.
For Europeans, on the other hand,
music is a pleasure, an amusement,
or sometimes a science. or a means
OF esthetic cultivation.
In Europe, says Mr.. Bauer, music
students listen to the artist in a
critical attitude entirely; they look
for this or that flaw, or try to learn
how he interprets this or that pas
sage.
In America, however, audiences
listen to the artist and to the anna
teur purely for the Joy OF listening.
They get an emotional experience
each time that they hear a work we'll
played.

progress in America has been the fail
ure to have good numbers rebeated on
subsequent programs It Il hardly

bers on the comparatively few concerts
that the average American Is privileged
to hear.
There Is one course which makes for
real musical dsveIopment-that Is.

possibility Is one Of the many inestim-

MAKE SINGING MEN
OF FIGHTING men

The part that music is destined to
play in the life OF the American SOL
der during the period OF his training
in camp is foreshadowed in the an
nouncement by Mai. Gen. J. Franklin
Bell that Camp Upton, Yaphank, L. l.,
New York, is to have the largest song
auditorium in the country. Here the
national army will raise its voice in
song under the leadership of that pio-
neer in the community music move
ment, Harry Barnhart.
On Major General Bells theory that
singing men are fighting men," the
work OF building the song auditorium
will get a tremendous impetus. The
funds now being collected by the
mayors committee for the Camp Up
ton Recreation Fund will be used for
the central assembly building in
which the community singing will
The Washington times., 1917-10-18

take place. other buildings for sing
ing are being considered but none as
pretentious as the big auditorium.
Major General Bell intends to make
an appeal to the soldiers to contribute
one dollar each toward the erection
OF the stadium, IN this way hoping
to realize over $4,000. A special dol
lar fund for the same purpose Is In
charge of w. Kirkpatrick Brice.
A few years ago the idea Of or
ganized musical activity. under the
direction OF experts, for the soldiers
recreation would have been subjected
to ridicule. The plan has the hearty
cooperation OF the War Department,
which realizes that music Is a vital
factor in the life of the soldier In
camp as well as in the field Making
the soldiers performers, giving them
the experience of making music IN
stead OF merely listening to 1t, Is q

Sweet Potato Is Great
Food Crop For the South

Washington, D, c., May Seed to
plant an acre of Irish potatoes cost
about $40 this spring. Seed sweet
potatoes will not cost more than 81
per acre where vine cuttings taken
from early-set plants are used. The
yield Of sweet potatoes per acre IS
usually greater than that of Irish po-
tatoes and as a food they are nutri-
tious. Sweet potatoes may be grown
throughout the Southern states and,
Of course, in certain other sections.
Specialists in the L. S. department
of agriculture are urging an IN
creased acreage of this crop wherever
it can be easily grown.
Sweet potatoes, it is pointed out,
are the South's chief instrument for
a quick and effective increase Of the
food supply. Seed is plentiful; last
years crop was the second largest
