HUNDRED PIANOS
in CAMP UPTON
Boys in Khaki Chip in For
Music as Soon as They
See Need

"Of course the boys in camp need
fore my recent visit to Camp Upton
and 1 had read of what the govern
ment was doing through Harry
Barnhart to give them music, but it
was not until after my talk with
Major General Bell and the Sam
mles' at Haphank, L. l., that / fully
sensed how strong the soldiers de-
sire for music really is"
This statement was made by Rich
ard w. Lawrence, member of the
New York district exemption board
(of which Charles e. Hughes is
chairnan) after his return from the
camp on official business. The boys
want music" he said, enough to
pay for it themselves. The very
first thing they do after getting set
tied in their barracks is to appoint
committee and take up a collection
tc either buy or rent a piano, for
the recreation room with which each
barracks is provided. Each of these
barracks houses about 250 soldiers.
and there are between 10000 and
10000 rockies altogether in this
camp, so it means $50 to 175 bar
racks and about the same number of
pianos, usually paid for by the SOL
diers themselves. Besides these there
are pianos in the officers quarters,
Y. NJ. c. A. rooms, Knights of Co
lumbuS quarters, and in the host
ess' house, all provided by these
bodies themselves.
"On one side of the barracks are
kitchens and mess halls, and on the
other is the recreation room, in
which the two important things are
the stove and the piano.
''As one recruit said to me, You
can judge what music means to us,
when We are willing to give up part
OF our pay to get it. Music and
plenty of it is what we need here
at camp, and you can bet your bot
tom dollars we're going to do all we
can to get it. We work darn hard
down here, and we've just got to
hear some music to relieve the
strain of things. There's no two
ways about it, we want music and
we're going to have it.
in addition to music in the sepa-
rate barracks, there is the wonderful
group singing led by Harry Barn
hart, who put the community chorus
on the map commented Mr.. Lawr-
ence. when the proposed stadium
is erected at Yaphank, l.. l., to
house the singing activities of Camp
Upton's $4,000 soldiers, it will mean
that the greatest song auditorium in
the country has been constructed in
order to bring music to the New
York soldiers.
Major General Bell, the man who
has been given the task of mould
ing $4,000 New York civilians into
soldiers has long been an advocate
of singing. His address to the first
men who this year attended the
PIattsburg training camp for off,
GERS contained one of the articles of
his military faith, that singing men
are fighting men," On this basis he
is giving the most hearty co-opera-
ton TO those who are seeking to
give the new Army the spiritual up
lift and support of song.
zone cannot come away from
camp without the impression that
music is no less a factor in the life
of the nation in war than it is in
peace. After hearing them sing one
feels confident that our boys will
give a good account of themselves
when the time comes"

The Art of Music Takes
Precedence Over Dancing

Last spring at a performance of
Isadore Duncan and her pupils at
the Metropolitan Opera House, a
young boy of about sixteen who had
been brought by his mother to see
the world-famous dancer, upon look
ing at the program, exclaimed,
"Why mother, we're not going to
see Isadora Duncan. We're going to
hear music" The remark was JUS
tifiable, for under the various parts
of, the program were listed not the
name of the dancer, but with artis-
tic sublety, the titles of the compo-
sitions of the masters of music.
Relationships Andante Cantabile
and Marche Slave was there, and
Dvorak's Slavic Dance was there,
and so was Schuberts Ave Maria
and others of equal fame and beauty.
1t was not until the boy was told
that the dancing was to be an in
depreciation of, the musical compo-
sitions that his mind was set at
rest.
The incident is worthy of note for
the reason that to one individual at
least, and, in all probability, to all
who were within hearing distance of
the boys remark. there came an ap-
probation of how great a part mu-
sic plays in the aesthetic world. The
audience that day came to see q
great dancer perform, but little
knew that the beauty and power of
that dancer could not have been
called forth had there not been
equally, if not more beautiful and
powerful, music to inspire her. Isa-
dora Duncan as the fettered slave
who eventually breaks her bonds and
arises in new glory and strength was
wonderful to behold. but never in
the wide world could Isadora Dun
can have depicted that exultation of
Tchaikowsky had she not first ex-
perienced the pain and the sorrow
and the struggle of the Russian serf
and the final ray of hope which
marks the dawn of new life which
this composer depicts in his Marche

Soldier Dies at Camp Dix;
Mother Will Get $4,000

Burlington, N. j., Jan. 10
Through the death from pneumonia
at the Camp Dix Base Hospital of
Private Raymond L. Henry, his
mother, Mrs. Catherine Henry, of
Oliphant, Pa, becomes the benefi-
ciary under a $4,000 war risk insur-
ance policy that was written by di-
rection of Colonel A. V. p. Anderson,
commanding the 312th Infantry
here, while her son was on his death
bed three days ago.
The policy is the first paid on the
life of a Camp Dix soldier, and while
it was taken out under conditions
that would have made it impossible
under general insurance laws, it was
permissible, it is said, under the war
risk insurance plan, which requires
no physical examination of candi-
date.
Henry came here last month with
1000 volunteers for the Regular
Army, for whom there was no room
at Fort Solucum. He was with the
detail quartered with the New Jer-
sey boys under Colonel Anderson. 81

GOING OUT OF
LIQUOR BUSINESS
Doubtful Conditions Cause
Lack of Confidence For the.
Future in Northumberland

Sunbury, Pa, Jan. 19.-It is un-
derstood here that landlords owning
properties in northumberland coun-
ty, where liquor licenses are held,
are having much trouble in securing
renewal of lease agreements for this
year. Licensed places, as a rule,
must pay twice the amount of rent
that is required of a like property
without a license. AS a result of
these high rents, the landlords are
finding that the leaseholders are
averse to guaranteeing them the rent
for the whole year. but are insisting
that they guarantee the rent only
from month to month. The business
has become so precarious and doubt
full as to its existence at a profit, or
at all, it is said, that they fear
heavy losses.
This year there are 364 licensees,
while $50 places got licenses last
year, and all new applicants were re-
fused by Judge Cummings and Judge
Moser. Five old ones were refused
renewals. One has quit the business
this year and a second refuses to ap-
ply. saying there is no money in it.
