A Band Unique.-One of the most
typical American organizations devel-
oped during the war activities is the
United States Navy jazz Band, an or
ganization of twenty-five clever musi-
clans gathered from the different de-
partments of the Navy-seamen, yeo-
men and reservists.
Formed originally as an orchestra in
the Charleston navy yard, what is
known as Jazz features" were grad
bands in the Navy this particular or
gsnization attracted immediate atten-
ton. Everywhere the United States
Navy jazz Band appeared in the east
ern district, it awakened the greatest
of enthusiasm, and. it is declared,
proved one of the best incentives to
recruiting that has come up during the
war.
While it's programs contain numbers
of the most pretentious character, the
twenty-five boys in sailor uniform
seem to be in their element when they
start what is known as Jazz selec-
tons" They have a violin soloist such
as is seldom heard even on the concert
stage, and sailor boys who can put over
q popular song as effectively as the
most experienced vaudeville artist.

NEW FORMULA FOR GETTING DRUNK
 WITHIN THE LAW

Helena, July 26-The negroes of Helena have found new substitute for whiskey. Albert Johnson, cloth es cleaner, plead guilty in Municipal Court yesterday morning to the charge of being drunk and disorder ly, and in answer to the courts query as to where he obtained his booze, said that he had drunb nearly quart of wood alcohol, mixed with coca cola. Judge Graham Burke ordered the chief of police to investigate. The chief found that the negro's story probably was true, except that it was denatured alcohol, which he had been buying from local drug house osten- sibly for cleaning clothing Investiga- tion showed that several negroes within the last few weeks have been found drunk on the concoction. The alcohol is plainly marked poison on the bottles and is not sold by the druggist for beverage, therefore the authorities are in doubt as to whether they can stop the sale of it. According to scientific dope, Johnson should be dead, but from his appear lance he was suffering from little more than the usual morning after" effect.

URGES ITALY BE
 GIVEN MORE AID

New York, July 26-Judge Ben
 Lindsey of Denver, who has been in England, France and Italy for the
 past six months as a represetative of
 the American Committee on Public Information, arrived here yesterday
 from abroad. Judge Lindsey said he
 had visited all the battle fronts, and was witness of the benginning of the rout of the Austrians in the Piave Valley being stationed in an observa-
 tion post with Italian officers on Monte Grappa.
 "One could not fail to be impressed with the idea that Italy, with little more help, perhaps two of our army divisions, if they could be spared would go on to complete triumph" he said. "I am not criticising. but l am sure that Italy appreciates every thing that we do for her and every Italian is friend of the United States, Therefore, as the Austrian | line appears to be the weakest spot in the armcr of the European mon- ster, let us strike there. The Italian morale is splendid, but we. need to help them in every manner possible.

'LUDENDORfF STILL HAS 4O DIVISIONS
 OF SHOCK TROOPS
Hardly Likely Enemy Will Regain Initiative, Says
 Marsel Hutin.

Paris, July 26.-Geeral Ludendorff apparently has 40 divisions of shock troops still in hand, says Marcel Hut Tn Ill the Echo de Paris. They are des- tined or at least some of them for an operation calculated to change the present situation to the advantage of the crown prince, but adds M. Hutin, it IS harly likely that General Foch and General Petain will let the ini- tatlve be taken from them now"
 Between July 15 and yesterday, AS German divisions were idzatified in the Marne pocket, says M. Hutin and completely exhausted divisions are being replaced by half-rested ones.
 The newspapers are much pleased over Thursdays successes by the all lies and believe that the moment is approaching when the pocket dug by the Germans will become so reduced that the position will be intolerable.
 A majority of the military critics think the German crown prince will not reconcile himself with falling back to the line of the Vesle without giving a further defensive battle on the Plateau of Tardenois in coniunct- ion with an offensive battle in neigh borhood regions It is believed prob- able that the Germans may also strike simultaneously in Flanders. The critics are convinced, however, that General Foch will not let the initiative be talk en from him.

OLD GOTHIC BARNS
Great Structures in England Similar to Village Churches.
UnapproachabIe in Dianity: Beautiful as Cathedrals; No ostentation of
 the Builders Art.

The great old stone barns of Enc. land, dating, many of them. from inc fourteenth century, are. comnarative1v speaking, little known to the general public, says the Christian Science Monitor. The beautiful architecture 10 De found in the English village churches has received it's full need of appreciation, and so, though possiblv m slightly less degree, have the me old manor houses which dot the countryside and provide a most inter- eSting study in the local variations which occur in the generally prevail Ing style at any given period. The Darhs' however, have been rather neg lected, and literature on the subject is practically nonexistent
 Yet the barn is intimately bound m With the history of the neighborhood in which it stands, and where. for nos slbly nearly 300 years, it has been full. filling practically the same eminently important functions, with little change. for the benefit of the folk in it's neigh. Dorhood. The methods of the farmer may vary, but the general routine of the countryside goes on. much the same, century after century, and the great barns still stand ready to house the peoples food as they have done summer and winter, for so many hun- dred years.
 These old Gothic barns are very dlsnlf1ed and very beautiful buildings. comparable in some ways to the will iase churches whose contemporaries they are. and if they are less ornate. they are, in their simplicity, hardly less imposing. Indeed, some people would give the balance in favor of the barns in this matter.
 It is by no means always an easy matter to tell the precise date of these barns at first sight, but some times there is little carving, bit of tracery or a finial which will supply the clew. or possibly again, the form of buttress may afford an indica- tlon; but fortunately there are gener- ally local records to which access may be had containing details of the origin and foundation of the barns.
 Among the famous fourteenth cen- tury barns of England are those ar Glastonbury. Wells and Plton in Son. ersetshire, Great CoXwell in Berkshire and Abbotsbury in Dorsetshire These are all what may be described as barns of the first magnitude; great cruel form buildings which may well vie in size and dignity with many churches.
 Of the barn at Great Coxwel. Will liam Morris said that it was "unap- proachable in it's dignity, as beautiful of the builders art" and he always declared that it was one of the finest buildings in England or anywhere else.

Port Royal, S. C., July 26.--lnstead of tossing their hats in the ring the U. s. Marines now toss 'em in the water.

 Taking the accident as cue "just for luck" the remainder of the re- cruts immediately sailed their hats out into the deep and the bay was soon dotted with hundreds of straw hats.
 The boys passed the word' and now no recruit can expect to have good luck unless he has cast his hat upon the receding tide.
