officials pointed out that the
submarines had been sent into
American waters to attack
transports and that therefore
their mission had failed. The

sunk are:
One schooner, which was tor

IN LEAD AMONG SIX BANDS

The old Second Iowa band is about
to attain its longtime ambition that
of becoming brigade band.
Word comes from Camp Dodge that
this week will see John v. Eppel's
prize players part of the depot bril-
gade at this camp. A brigade includes
twelve battalions or three regiments
and a headquarters company. The
band will belong to the headquarters
company and will be built up to fifty
pieces, it now being only twenty
eight. 1t is to be designated the 163d
Depot Brigade Band.
This is the organization which was
assembled in this city last summer as
regimental band for the old Second
Iowa. Later, the regiment was broken
up at Camp Cody and the band trans
ferred to the Iowa cantonment. A de-
pot brigade is unit Of the national
army, the national guard organizations
being built on slightly different
plan. There are at present six bands
at Camp Dodge.
. TO Be Famous Band.
Band Leader Eppel is given the sole
privilege of choosing the musicians to
increase the band. A flute and piccolo
player formerly with Kyrl's band is
expected to be one Of the new men.
