EFFICIENT ARMY MUSIC

A recent general order of the Amer
lean Army increasing regimental bands
to fifty pieces and giving all band
masters the commission of lieuten-
ant is understood to foreshadow a
general reorganization of army bands
and music. Like good many things
that military theory had either abol-
ished or regarded as of secondary i'm
portance when this war began, mu-
sic is to come into its own again as
a primary essential of soldering.
The Cammanderin-C Chief recently
sought the advice of DR.. Walter DAM
roshch, American orchestra leader and
composer who is now in France, and
as a result the army bands are to be
brought up to date. and perfected. At
present army musicians also act as
stretcher bearers when action is on.
1t Is proposed to relieve them of this
duty, if the military authorities think
it feasible, and compel them to prac-
tice constantly. The band leaders
are to be examined as to their must
cal ability and an effort will be made
to find the best instrumentalists in
the service so that every regiment
will have highly trained band.
The army authorities have learned
that music is a big part of war. The
men want it and they appreciate good
music, as is shown by the big turn
outs at the concerts. Good music is
