army by the methods of work be-
suits will justify the efforts. The
men are not only trained to march
to music, but they are taught to
sing, and 1t is considered an i'm
portant point by the military au-
thorities that they should know the
patriotic and marching songs, so as
to sing them on the march or in
camp in France. And so our sing
songs" when the men are led in
singing many Of the popular and
standard songs. are an interesting
occasion.
Three things impress me on the

asm Of the men in their singing.
Second, their fondness for the fine
old songs which possibly may be
termed our American folk songs.
like those of Stephen Foster, to-
gether with some of the better
songs from the Civil war. Third,
the shortage of good, appropriate,
dignified, singable songs originated
under the inspiration of the present
crisis There are war songs by
the score, and no doubt every COM
poser publishes his song with the
hope that it may prove to be the
big" song of the war. But if the
big song has been written / have
not heard it. The men like over
There" and Joan of Are" and that
silly song, Where Do We Go From
Here?" is probably the best march
ing song of the whole lot; but none
of these have anything much to
them. We have borrowed Smile,
Smile, Smile" and Keep the Home
Fires Burning" from England, and,
in my opinion, America has yet to
produce anything as good, though
neither of those is what it might
be. And we have not a single rem
iniscence, musically, of the Spanish
war; I hope that the present in
SEPARATION may not be totally lost.
Carrie Jacobs Bond has made fine
arrangement, using the words of
Ten Thousand Times Ten ThOus-
