BENEFIT OF CHORAL SINGING
Equallzes Men, Creates Spirit Of Broth
erhood and Takes Mind off Busl-
ness, Asserts Professor.

Music gives utterance TO something
within one which can never find ex-
preston in words or acts, in the opin-
ion of A. E. Westbrook, director Of
music in the Kansas State Agricul-
tural college. Choral singing is of
great benefit TO a community.
"Music Is Of great advantage to
men," said Professor Westbrook. 'It
equalizes them. creating a spirit of
brotherhood, and takes their minds off
business. 1t gives them a new and
different insight, which is accomplished
not by singing the common popular
songs, but by really good music that
can be appreciated.
''The value of music in bringing to-
gether socially disorganized commune
ties has never been fully realized. By
choral singing, people in any one To-
cality can be brought into certain SYM
pathy with one another Wherever
there is q neighborhood there IS a
chance for singing. A leader is need
ed who will select only the best music.
Where neighboring groups have been
singing the same kind of good music
they viii find in any large community
gathering that they have something in
common and will be ready to take part
in choral singing on an even larger
scale.
eff an orchestra playing Beethoven
played in a community unused to such
music, there would break forth from
the audience an unrestrained applause
such as comes only from people who
are really hungry for good music-the
kind Of music that community musical
societies will bring to them."

With American Forces in France
The enemy apparently attempted to
bomb the American field hospital Sat
urday evening. An airplane descended
to within 500 feet of the ground,
gunned the locality with a machine
gun and dropped eight high explosive
bombs. Three of these failed TO ex-
plode. The remainder tumbled into an
adjacent fiel6 raining a shower of dirt
and bits of steel against the hospital
walls. Windows were smashed, but no
one was injured. The patients were
removed from the hospital, being taken
further to the rear owing to the dan
ger of shells and bombs.
The enemy also shelled villages be-
hind the line ineffectively.
There was desultory artillery firing
all day.
Four priyates were wounded by
hand grenade explosions.

GERMANS RESUME
WAR UPON RUSSIA
HUN TROOPS PUSHING FORWARD
INTO RUSSIA'S TWO REMAIN
ING BALTIC PROVINCES.
Conquest of Baltic Lands Is Huns
Aim.-Disorder Rampant Through
out Observation-Disclosures and
Moderates Battle.

hlngtOn.-Germany already has
begun the carrying out of her threat
of invasion because of the failure of
the Bolsheviki to sign peace COM
pact with the central powers.
Reports emanating from Sweden say
that the Germans have begun pushing
forward their troops into Russia's two
remaining Baltic provinces-Esthonia
and Livonia-the taking of which com
pletely isolated Russia from the shores
of the Baltic and give the enemy, in
addition to the port of Riga, the city
of Reval, situated on the gulf of Fin
land opposite Helsingfors, whence
they easily might operate against Pet
rograd by sea.
A Berlin dispatch says operations
have been resumed on the Russian
front, and that the Germans have
crossed the Dvina.
Austria Is Placated.
Although Austria Hungary has
shown dissatisfaction over the stand
that Germany has taken toward Rus
Sid, Tile uudl lHOudICHy CN4uthliy htth
been placated by a promise of Ger
many that any German military activ-
ity will be confined to northern Rus
STA and Austria Hungary left to deal
with whatever other problems may
arise in the territory adjacent to her
borders.
Belated dispatches from Petrograd
tells of the capture of Kiev, the new
capital of Ukraine, by the Bolsheviki.
The fighting is described as having
been of an extremely sanguinary char
acter, four thousand persons having
been killed and seven thousand
wounded. Great destruction was
wrought in the town by shells and ex-
plosives dropped by aviators.
At Odessa another big battle has
been fought between the Bolshevih
and the moderates, during which war
ships in the harbOr bombarded the
city. Polish legions at Minsk are de-
clared to have been sanguinarily de-
feated and put to rOut, which the
also are reported to have
Tonogorod on the Black sea
and yoronezh, capital of the province

AMERICAN LABOR
TO HELP WIN WAR
FEDERATION ENDORSES AIMS OF
UNITED STATES AS SET FORTH
BY THE PRESIDENT.
The Worlds Workers Vitaily Inter
ested in Crushing Autocracy, Says
American Federation of Labor
Council in Statement.

Washington.-Ame labor's en-
dorsement of war aims as stated by
President Wilson, and recognition that
the war against PrIssianism is
working mans war is recorded in
declaration issued Sunday by the exec
utive council of the American Fedora
ton of Labor.
The declaration says the peace par
leys between Russia and Germany
have shown the futility of diplomatic
negotiations until the German militar-
lists are convinced they cannot super
impose their viii on the rest OF the
world, and that spontaneous uprisings
in Germany have demonstrated that
the military government still Is
stronger than the movement there for
emancipation. a gigantic struggle lies
ahead and now is a time when all
workers must soberly face the grave
importance of their daily work, says
the declaration.
Ona passage of the declaration says !;
The hope of labor lies in opportunity
for freedom. The workers of America
will not permit themselves to be de-
ceived or deceive themselves into
thinking the fate of the war Will not
vitality change our own lives. A VIC
tory for Germany would mean pan
German empire dominating Europe
and exercising wond balance OF
power which Germany will seek TO ex-
tend by force into world control.
'Prussian rule means supervision,
checks, unfreedom in every relation Oh
life.
"Prussianism has its roots in the OLD
ideal under which men sought to RUE
by suppressing the minds and wills OIL
their fellows it blights the new ideal
of government without force or chains
or acknowledgements by
perfect freedom for all"

WAR BODY DUE TO
AMERICAN DEMAND
DECISION ON UNIFIED MILITARY
EFFORT BROUGHT ABOUT
BY UNITED STATES.
Premier Lloyd George Declares Plan
Submitted Was One of Ablest Doc
uments Ever Submitted to a
Military Conference.

LondOn.-The tense political situa-
don in Great Britain, arising from the
secrecy surrounding the recent supreme
war council at Versailles and the re-
tirement of General Robertson as chief
of the British imperial staff, has been
bridged. Premier Lloyd George an
nounced to the house of commons on
February 10 it had been decided 10
set up central authority to co-ordi-
nate the strategy of the allies and that
the plan submitted by the Americans,
(which put the case for the present
proposal" was one of the ablest dOcu-
ments ever submitted to a military
conference. The plan was adopted
with minor changes.
Premier Lloyd George said the gov
ernment was anxious TO retain the
services Of General Sir William Rob-
ertson as chief of staff so long as it
was compatible upon the decision of
the policy in common with Great Brit
aims allies.
The premier said the policy of the
government was based upon the as
sumption that the allies had suffered
in the past through lack of concerted
and co-ordinated efforts. 1t had de-
cided TO set up central committee
to centralize the strategy of the allies.
Il hesitated for some time" said the
premier in referring to the American
representations, whether l should not
read in the house of commons the very
cogent documents submitted by the
American delegation which put the
case for the present proposal. 1t is
ore of the ablest documents ever sub
mitted to military conference. The
only reason why / do not read it to
the house is that it is mixed with the
plan of operations.
The American representatives at the
Versailles war council declared with
irresistible power and logic" for the
plan for expansion of the supreme
councils power, the premier said.
Sir RawIinson Appointed.
The premier announced that General
Sir Henry Seymour Rawlinson had
been appointed to represent Great Brit
ain on the supreme war council at
Versailles.
The general principles laid down at
the recent session in Versailles of the
supreme war council were agreed to
by ALL. the premier told the house. 1t
was also agreed that there should be
an interallied authority with executive
powers. The only difference which
arose was as to its constitution. The
first proposal at Versailles, he contin-
ued, was that the central authority /
should consist of a council of chiefs
of staff, but this was abandoned in
asmuch as it was regarded as unwork-
able.
