BAND CONCERT.
Program of Unusual Excellence Given
Before Small Audience.

Songs From the Old Folks" proved
the most popular number on the con
cert program given by the American
Falls band Tuesday evening in the
Odeon, despite the fact that there were
such well rendered masterpieces as
Poet and Peasant" "Muttering Fritz
trombone novelty and a score of
others.
"Old Black Joe" Sweet and Low"
Rocked in the Cradle of the Deep"
and other old time ballads and hymns
provided a variety of sentimental
music that sent everyone away with
a vote of thanks to the American Falls
Concert band, which many claim is
the best in the state.
Other particularly pleasing rendi-
tions on the program were "Muttering
Fritz" the trombone novelty, ITO
Arms and "Hoppy Herbert" an orig
inal one-step.
About 100 people turned out for the
concert, a much smaller crowd than
had been expected by Manager Chas.
Hammock Thirty dollars was clear
ed for the band fund. The Odeon was
prettily decorated in American flags
and bunting with a particularly at
tractive background for the photo
graph of President Wilson. THE Star
Spangled Banner" was played for the
finale.
Director Bum now has twenty-one
pieces in the band and is receiving
much favorable comment over the
work that the boys are doing. Those
who played at the concert are:
Cornets-Joe Hammock. Roland Evans
and John Crosse; horns, A. NJ. Ley,
Bill Killer, J. P. Mehlhaff, and Fred
Nelson: trombones, Harold Lemp, Cal
vert Sallee and VIM. Southwell: bari
tone, Charles Hammock; basses, L.
w. Eddy and George Angelly; drums,
Oakley Bum; saxaphones, John Cole
man and George Leitch, clarinets,
Otis Neal, r. Temple and Lee Carman;
director, o. X. Bum.
No one could listen to the numbers
without a feeling of pride in the fact
that American Falls has such band,
and with a feeling of shame because
of the small attendance.

AGAINST COMPULSORY TRAINING
Pacifists Win Decision in Debate on
Compulsory Military Training at l..
ID. ;. Church.

The United States should not adopt
compulsory military training accord
ing to the decision rendered by the
judges of the debate Tuesday evening
in the l.. d. S. church G. Lee French
and Wyman Becksted. representing
the negative side of the question. Re
solved That the United States Should
Adopt Compulsory Military Training"
won against DR.. Arthur Vance and L.
y. Hammond of the affirmative. The
judges of the debate were Irwin AL
lred, Frank Moench and Henry
Thomas
The affirmative supported the ques-
ton on the grounds that il was neces-
sary for protection, was a great physi-
cal benefit to the youth of the nation,
and eliminated the necessity of having
large standing army TO guard Amer
lean rights.
Germany went through Belgium in
stead of Switzerland, even though the
Swiss route was the closer, because
she knew that Switzerland had an
army trained by compulsory service
that could be called out Instantly to
defend her rights" said Mr. Hammond
in support of the question. THAT is
an instance of what compulsory ser
vice means to the welfare of nation, 3"
ne added
Later he said that "The youth of
the nation, in case of compulsory SER
vice, would be trained at time when
they were at the most receptive age,
at a time when they would receive the
greatest physical benefits from the
training and during the period that
their time was the least valuable" 2"
The Australian system of military SER
vice was cited as a criterion of what
could be expected in the United States
should military training be made
compulsory.
The negative met the arguments of
the affirmative with an attempt to
prove that war, and consequently COM
pulsory service we're destructive to
the welfare of any nation, and cited
Germany and her present position in
the great world war to prove their
contention. They pictured Germany s
compulsory service as being a menace
instead of a protection, whereas the
opposite type of government exam
plitied by the United States, was the
ideal.
The negative then attempted to show
that the amount of money spent for
war and the results Of war would
build great educational and social
monuments for the country were il
applied to those ends. AS a substi-
tuition for compulsory military service
the negative suggested arbitration by
an international court Of justice or
ganized something like the we'll known
