requested to be taught the "Marseil- laise" in French.
 But don't stop here. Enlarge the soldiers song horizon. Try him with tried. songs he has hitherto had no chance to know. If the original words are an obstacle, get somebody to write new ones-but somebody whose emo- tion is awakened by the tune alone.
 For success the song leader must have one quality to help him from within and one external help: he must possess, even more than a voice and an ear, sense of rhythem and that power of making enthusiasm contagious to be seen in those who lead cheers at foot ball games Without all this the niu- sical gifts in the world will not suffice. And without the backing of the com manding officer he can make but little headway. Perhaps nothing covers the matter better than some remarks Of Major General Wood:
 Tt is just as essential that the sol diers know how to sing as it is that they carry rifles and know how to shoot them. < There isn't any thing in the world, even letters from home, that will raise a soldiers spirits lik.. a good, catchy, marching tune. < I have seen men toiling for hours through the mud and rain, every one of them dejected. spiritless, tired and cold, wet and forlorn, cursing the day they entered the army, transformed | into happy, devil-may -care frame o1 mind through a song.

 Experiment it no longer is. This
 the weekly reports of the song leaders
 from the various army and navy sta tions make quite plain. These song leaders have been at their work hard and zealously since November. They
 have found out every sort of thing
 that can result from the innumerable differences in human nature. But in
 the end they have all found out one
 thing, namely, that the army and navy are no special kind of man, but merely a cross section of the American people,
 responding to exactly the same ap- peals that any men respond to.
 For a camp song nobody can make good words or good music unless he Is in hot blood and nobody can tell if it is good or not until he has thoroughly tried it out with a crowd of enlisted
 men. Thoroughly" depends both on
 the song and singers; some songs make their way slowly and surely and those
 which immediately succeed may have
 staying powers or may not. Try them out Give each it's chance to sink or swim Enlarge your field of selection. | Give the men, along with the songs of | the hour and the few national songs that we possess songs of other coun- tries that have stood the test with their own people-Scotch, Irish

DECLARES MUSIC
 HELPS MEN FIGHT
(New York Times)

The application of music to war is as old as mankind and as young as to- day. In museums you will find among archaic chattels the savage battle ax, with the savage drum; at this moment in France the strains of the "Marseil- laise" commingle with the explosions of bombs. Throughout the whole of mans chronicled experience, anywhere you look, evidence is overwhelming that songs and music have companioned war as inevitably as have flags and banners, and for precisely the same reason, because they are really neces- sary, because at certain moments they invigorate and rally as nothing else ever has invigorated or ever can in- vigorate and rally the fighting spirit of man. A flag is a visible banner, a song is an audible banner.
 Americans now living both in the North and South do not need to be told this. They can recall easily enough days and nights when Dixie" or Maryland, My Maryland" or Marching Through Georgia" or John Browns Body" smote them like an in spiration and they went on. With the northern and southern songs of our civil war still ringing in hundreds of brains, does it not seem little odd that anybody should have faiiodd to know that music is of practical value in winning battles? Yet in the face of these facts so easy to know, so long known, proved again and again in ev- cry great war. doubt has been eX- pressed. Music for the soldier has been styled a luxury
 Persons who daily display but slight interest in economy have hemmed and hawed over the extravaganza of pro- viding the appartus for teaching our soldiers and sailors to chorus "Tne Battle Hymn of the Republic" and "The Star Spangled Banner"
 Happily the doubters decrease. It was indeed an innovation that indi-

every man in training will be a singer"
 The colonel of an infantry regiment wrote lately to the song leader
 Many men find it almost impossible to accustom themselves to the call for sudden, definite and accurate salute or to exactness of kindred kind. Some of them. have never sung jolly songs with strong emphasis and marked at tack of words. Some of them start from their barracks to the post ex-
 change without knowing just what route they will take.
 Tt is such indefiniteness, such hesi- tation, such lack of appreciation that proper lectures, close order drill, sa- lutes and your singing instruction drive away, replacing them with springiness, a definiteness and a new sort of self depreciation that make some of the new men strangers to themselves"
 Necessarily the manner in which each song leader attacks his task Is l controlled by the place he is in, and the varying characters of the men he is teaching. All sorts of ingenious expediendents have been hit upon.

LOAN AD
 CONTEST CLOSES . 0NM0NDAY MORN

Who will win the s75 offered by the publicity committee of the Fourth Lib erty Loan for the three best and most striking advertisements to be used in the next Liberty Loan campaign? This contest is for Arizona contestants and all entries must be in by 10 o'clock Monday morning, July 29.
 One of the features of the last Lib crty Loan campaign was the number of particularly striking full page ad- vertisements and these no doubt did much to make the third Liberty loan so successful. These advertisements served to bring home to the people of America the necessity of buying bonds, of making every one feel that the war is his war and that he must either fight or buy bonds to help the men who are fighting. As the next Liberty loan is to be larger than the last it is hoped that the class of advertising will be even more effective than the post CTS used in the third campaign.
 There are few thinking people who have not some idea of the sort of ad- vertisement that would appeal to the most people. It is to call out this tal- ent that these prizes have been of fered. The copy submitted may be il- lustrated or not, just as the contest ant chooses, but it must be plain and on a scale of one full page of a daily newspaper A blank space must be left at the bottom equal to eight col umn inches.
 The Arizona judges are F. $. Viele. J. R. Loftus and A. G. Dulmage. Copies of advertising for this contest should be addressed Chairman Advertising Contest, Fourth Liberty Loan, Cham Der of Commerce building, Phoenix. Quite a few contestants htve already sent in their copy which will be opened and judged at 10 o'clock, July 29.
 The best copy will be awarded the first prize of $35, the second $25 and the third s15, the next two will be giv- en honorable mention. The prize win ming copies will then be sent to San Francisco and there will compete with the prize winners of all the sever states of the twelfth Federal Reserve District. The best copies in the dis trict award will receive $50, $50 an6 s20 with two honorable. mentions.

War has produced new sport. To familiarize the American aviators with shooting at Huns from any angle d tower has been constructed at the ground school at Austin, Tex. Soldiers climb to the plat form at it's top and shoot at clay pigeons to perfect their range. This enables them to shoot truer from an aircraft or prominence of any kind when they reach France.

IMPROVE IN PARCELS"
Scientific American)

Aerial progress has not been con- fined to the air, for anti-aircraft ar tillery. if it can be considered as part of aerial activity, has advanced by leaps and bounds of late. At present it is a common occurrence to hear that an enemy machine has been brought down by anti-aircraft fire. Typical of this advance is the case of the Tenth Section of French anti-aircraft artil- lery of the mobile type, which. during the period from September, 1915, to December. 1917. alone brought down 1S German airplanes. During the period from February II to 20 last. the anti aircraft artillery of the French army brought down four machines. In each case the number is based on official recognition, which means that the de- struction of each enemy machine was established beyond doubt.

and the visibility so bad that the.

mir backed away badly damaged, but

AS the bows of the Kashmir were
pulled from the great hole in the side
of the Otranto, the water rushed in,
but for a time it did not serve to stop
the engines. The Otranto tried to
proceed, but made no Roadway against
the gale in her crippled condition.
Within a short time the water put
out her fires and the Otranto drifted
hopelessly toward the rocky coast of
Islay Island, where most of the Tus-
