the idea. of writing it to bring home to
Americans just what this war means;
to give them the minutest details of the
weary months of training, and then
perhaps only hours or perhaps years of
active service, and the trials and tribu-
lations that lay before them. The
reader will know more of just what
this war is-its horrors and it's splen-
dors-unless he should happen himself
to have been in the midst of it.

The son of the late Senator Gibson
is perhaps best known as a successful
play-writer. In the present volume he
employs his dramatic gifts, not for ex
aggeration but for truthful portrayal
of the scenes "all of which he saw and
a part of which he was" For after
leaving Plattsburg he saw long, varied
and arduous service, both with the
ambulances and in the trenches. It is

literature of the war.

REORGANIZATION IS
FOSTERED BY music
Local Director Explains Just Why
Community Singing Appeals

why does New Britain have COM
munlty singing? And what is the
purpose of holding meetings just to
sing? These are questions frequently
asked since the song meetings are
now held each Sunday afternoon and
evening. They are asked by those
who have not attended any Of those
song services. Those who go to see
for themselves do not need to make
such inquiries. When several hun
dred people gather to give expression
to the fact that they like music and
that their American spirit is a living
active feeling, no other explanation
is needed regarding what the meeting
is for" SO says Francis O'Brien, aGi~
rector of characterization in this city,
Continuing he says:
eff you are inclined to make fur
ther inquiry, ask the soldier how
singing has helped him win his vic
tories, by keeping his spirit strong;
ask the sailor how music and singing
have strengthened his morale. by
keeping him cheerful: ask the ship
workers how the monotony of their
daily task is lesscned, by periods of
group Singir &; ask the muntiOn
workers how patriotic singir g stimuli
lates the spirit OF production even
when they sroW tired Of patriotic
speeches.
I'm celebrating our glorious vic
tory. singing is as Indispensable as it
proved to be winning that victory.
Every home and every heart should
be filled with the voices of song and
Thanksgiving, but still better the COM
munity gatherings enable all to sing
together in praise of peace and coun-
try. Music gives a fuller and deeper
expression to human emotion and
promotes the kind of sentiment that
makes us better citizens.
! And incidentally, do you know the
words of America, the Star Spangled
Banner, or the Battle Hymn of the
Republic without reference to the
printed words? You will learn these
by singing them at the community
gatherings. The school buildings be-
long to the public, SO why not have
the public use them for promoting
the American spirit?"

the only way to. really reach them
with the lesson of Freedom and De-

Mr.. Rogers. is more than gratified
at the results Of the meeting which
was staged under the direction Of
John Knauf, former supreme court
Judge OF North '.Jakota and himself a
prominent German who always has
been undivided in his loyalty to this
nation. The two principal speakers

The two principal speakers at this

It is the present intention Of the health boards
.of the various states to reduce sickness in the
United States by so per cent-perhaps. If they
are to succeed, good many persons will have to

whether they are going to rule their bodies, or
submit to the tyranny Of their physical structure.

In Iview of this there seems a posi-

In his second telegram, Mr.. Porter
suggested that despite the possibility
of federal relief, it would be we'll fol
! the state to exert it's own initiative tt
the utmost, in coping with the sitpa
ton. We are aware that the legisla
ture passed the seed and feed bonding
act Oh. B. No. y, at the special ses
sion, of the Fifteenth legislature II
1918. We understand that the relic
which this afforded was limited by
constitutional limitations in conjunc
ton with unfavorable financial condi
tons of many county governments
We understand furthermore that ne
benefits could be secured under thi!
act unless action was taken by petit
ton before February 5th, of the yea1
in question. Reports which we have
received indicate that the act ha:
been used in sixteen counties covering
ABOUT one-third ts.e area Of the state
and one fifth of the population, re
sulting in the issuance Of some $4,000,
900 worth of bonds. We do not know
whether in passing the above. men
toned act, the legislature exhausted
the possibilities of direct political re

We do not know whether you hav'

whether such action would be prac
ticable in your state. We do know
however, that it has been tried sue
cessfully elsewhere. We have jus
received, for example, a letter from
the state council of defense OF Idaho
dated March II, which reads as fol

THE U.BOAT FIGURES

The conspicuous figures in the British admir-
altys statement are these:
Loss of ship tonnage through U-Doat oestruc-
tion and marine risk, in 1917 6,723,6 tons.
Worlds output of new Tonnage in 1917, 2,7o3'-
355 TONS
The net average monthly loss was 1886, 022 tons.
Great Britain and America have just taken
over million tons Of Dutch shlpplng:, inns Ton.
maze. at the 1917 average of loss, will last just
about three months. The first year of American
shipbuildng for war purposes is expected to turn
out 100000 TONS or, on monthly average, Just
about the amount of the average losses OF !9l':
Besides, there will be the new tonnage turned out
bv Great Britain and others Of the antl-German
nations. ,.,
In short, does it not appear that the pendulum
is at the point of swinging the other way-that
new tonnage is going into service DIT faster tnan
the kaiser can destroy tonnage? Apparently, the
kaiser must raise his average, or, finally, be
licked to standst in respect of his most ruthless
and favorite offensive.
