BAND MUSIC FOR
ARMIES AIM Of
NEW REGULATION
Abandoned in Peace Time as
Non-eSSentiaI by Theorists,
RegimentaI Bands Again
Held Great Benefit

In France, Aug. l5.--A reccnt gem
eral order Of the American army I'M
creasing regimentaI bands to fifty
pieces and giving all bandmasters the
commission OF lieutenant is under
stood TO foreshadow a general reor-
ganization OF army bands and music.
Like good many things that mill
tary theotN bad either abolished or
regarded as of secondary Importance
when this war began, music is to
come into its own again as a primary
csse ntial OF soldering.
The commander in chief recently
sought the advice of Dr Walter Dam
rosch, 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 musical
ability and an effort will be made to
find the best instrumentalists in the
service so that every regiment VIII
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 turnout
for the concerts. Good music is a
tonic to the units relieved from the
front lines and varied troops straight
en- up inwardly and outwardly when
they are played into rest camps after
action It also has been found that
to play the men out when they start
for the front improves their morale.
Experiments are being made with
view to the introduction of the
French bugle in our bands. The Am
erican bugIe is keyed in c and does
not lend itself well to a band. while
the French army bugle. keyed in r
flat and with a clear ringing tone, is
excellent counterpoint in band music.

10000 CAUGHT
IN STACKER HUNT
IN NE " YORK CITY

tHN MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED WiRH
New York, Sept 3.-More than TO-
600 suspected draft evaders had been
herded tonight into the armories of
New York and nearby cities in a
Stacker hunt. 1t was estimated Off
cially that from % to 80 per cent of
this number were wilful draft evaders
Tonight indications were that men
caught today would have to remain in
the "corrals" for two or three days,
even IL they were innocent, before ex-
animation could be completed.
As the task of housing. feeding and
guarding the suspects became hourly
more serious, Charles F. De Woody,
head of the federal investigation bu-
reau conferred here with Governor
Whitman
1t was said that at the conference
the question of mobilizing the state
guard was discussed
1t was said that many of the 10000
arrested were from out of town.
This feature was explained by Capt.
David Asch, assistant to the director
of the draft in his district, who de-
clared that New York is the greatest
slackers retreat in America" and
that "men who want to evade their
duty have come here in droves' from
all parts Of the country"
Women aided in the raids by driv-
ing many of the hundreds of automo-
biles used in Transporting prisoners
from police stations to armores.
