DAMROSCH IS
 ORGANIZING AMER- CAN MILITARY BAMDS

Although charges of pro-Kaiser ac- tivity have been proved against Dr. Karl Muck and few other German musicians in this country, there are great number Of orchestral artists of German extraction who have long been American citizens and have shown themselves steadfastly loyal.
 One Of the most pleasing examples Of this kind of patriot is afforded by Dr. Damrosch, of the New York Sym phony Orchestra. Last spring Dam rosch went to France to yield his ser vices as musician to the American Expeditionary Forces. After seeing what he could do, General Pershing has appointed him to the dignified post of GeneralBand-Maste to reor- ganize the American military bands and place them on par with the French bands, whose high standard Of excellence is known.
 Although Damrosch was born in Germany, he has been the most wig orous Of pro-Germans ever since We entered the war Time and again he has declared himself in unmistakable language and has urged German-Am- ericans not to permit false senti- mentality 10 divert them from their proper allegiance, which is to the Un- tied States. It is fortunate that his talent can be made available to the L. S. Army, and it is quite fitting that his skill and egotism should be ac- corded the recognition which they have received,

MEN OF FOREIGN RACES
 CITED FOR BRAVERY

IL is instructive to read the names of soldiers of foreign birth or extrac- ton which are appearing from time -o time on the lists of those cited for distinguished service.
 Of the thirty five odd men recently mentioned in American Official Com munique o. 113, at least nine bear names which reveal an extraction other than Anglo-Saxon. These names are: Hahn, Christian, Jankowski, Hartman, Costianes, Gardello, Tobin, Kuehlman, Shaminski, and Kaufman.
 And these men have displayed con spicuous bravery. The records of two of them will suffice to prove that they have shown the kind of gallantry which is supposed to be an attribute Of the real American, no matter what his race or native land may be.

TWO LETTERS TO A
 MOTHER
Contrast Between Words of Lincoln and Kaiser Typifies
 The Difference

Seldom has the difference between the causes for which America and Germany are fighting been illustrated more forcibly than in two letters to mothers who sacrificed their sons to their country.
 Abraham Lincoln't letter of sym- pathy and coincidence to the widow Bixby, who gave five sons to the Ma fions cause in the Civil War, is known wherever the English language is spoken. It speaks from the great heart Of the martyred President and breathes democracy in every line.
 A contrast appears in letter from the Kaiser to g German women, Mrs. Meter, of Delmenhorst, Oldenburg, who has lost nine sons in the present war The letters speak for them selves:
 The kaiser's Letter.
 His Majesty the Kaiser hears that you have sacrificed nine sons in de- fense of the Fatherland in the present war His Majesty is immenseley grat- flied by the act, and in recognition is pleased to send his photograph with frame and Autograph signature
 lincoIn't Letter.
 Dear Madam: I have been shown in the files Of the War Department a statement of the adjutant general of assachusetts that you are the mother 0. five sons who have died gloriously ca the field of battle. I feel how weak and fruitless must be any words of mine which should attempt to be- guile you from the grief of loss so overwhelming But 1 can not refrain from rendering to you the consolation that may be found in the thanks of the Republic they died to save. I pray that our Heavenly Father may iassuage the anguish Of your bereave- ment and leave you only the cherish ed memory of the loved and lost and the solemn pride that must be yours

WORK OR FIGHT" RULE
 WORKS WELL
Large Supplies of Labor Directed from NonessentiaI to Essential
 industries

Work or fight" regulations have been highly effective in directing la bor from nonessential to essential oc- equations. according to reports that have reached the Department of La bor
 Cardboard members also believe tllat the regulations have had the full result expected of them. The work or fight" rule went into effect July 1. and large numbers of store clerks, theatre ushers. bartenders. and wait CTS were confronted with the alterna- tive of finding employment in war work or being inducted into the Army.
 By October, it is expected, the full effect of the measure can be perceiv- ed. for by that time doubtful cases will have been cleared up and Employment Service will have had an opportunity to show what it can accomplish.
 Many clerks and others who were thrust out of their former jobs were really much pleased once they had adapted themselves to the situation. for they found larger pay awaiting them in their new work, and a consc- iousness that they were serving the Nationa directly proved an inspira ton to service.
 One problem was presented in the ooeo or oIorl-c mon who wara clyi11ad in stenography and typewriting. They had worked indoors for many years, and were not adapted to heavy work in the open.
 They have been sitting at desks and are not overstrong," a draft of ficial explained. ''It is hard to get them work where they will learn any where near the same amount of money"
 Another difficulty developed in some States through laws forbidding the employment of women in restaurants at night Yet walters were ruled as holding nonproductive jobs, and the restaurant keepers said they were un- able to find men above draft age to do the work
 Men were given 30 days to find new jobs. Those who failed to find them were allowed extensions of time, if it was shown that they had actually made serious effort to obey the pro visions of the regulations.
