week furnished the first test
- this year of how war time
conditions would affect the seashore
resorts. The way people have been
coming for the last few days indicates
that they will have as good a season

and the band has gone back to the war
songs of '9S. reviving such favorites
as "There1l Be Hot Time In the Old
Town Tonight"

Morgan. who in former years had
charge of the concerts in the Ocean
Grove Auditorium, is now conducting
in the Asbury Park Arcade, on the
ocean front. south Of the Monterey
Hotel. There is no admission charge, a
silver offering being taken, and Mr..
Morgan has crowded the building, fire.
quently having five thousand people

Shoot the Kaiser dead" and when

there is a volume of sound that is like
a thousand automobile tires blowing
out at the same second.
