The detachment Of the Great Lake
naval training station band will b.
i in Carthage Saturday morning, Apri
| 18th. arriving on the S:57 G. B. & q.
and leaving at 900 p. M, to aid II
| insuring patriotism and stirring VI
enthusiasm at the third Liberty LOAF
meeting, being part OF what Presi
dent Wilson calls the greatest bant
in the world" Originated by Captain
William A. Moffett. commandant al
Great Lakes, and directed by the
famous band leader, Lieutenant John
Phillip Sousa, the bluejackets band
of youth has grown to an organiza'
ton of over seventy pieces.
DetachmentS similar to the one
that will visit Carthage have toured
the middle western and eastern
states during the previous Liberty
drives. where Liberty loan experts
have credited their collective work
with selling $750,OO0.000 worth OF
Liberty bonds Overflow meetings
were the usual thing. Schools were
closed as were stores and other
places OF business in order that every
one might see and hear the blue
jacket band.
Within the last month three de-
tachments of the band have been sent
to sea and another is now at q naval
base in France. Lieutenant Sousa's
personality permeates the band. He
is justly proud Of his blue jacket
musicians and declares that to lead
them is the greatest experience of
his life. OF course the March King
cannot accompany all the detach-
ments that go on tour, but that does
not prevent the bandsmen from play
ing his marches in the way Lieuten-
ant Sousa would have them played.
All attachments when at the station
are thoroughly trained in the spirit
OF the marches by Lieutenant Sousa,
so that when on tours, led by real
live drum major, they play with the
spirit instilled in them by their IA
nous leader.
The band will give q concert at
Ferris Saturday afternoon before
train going east.
