IN such fighting mood that they are
ready to sweep the Huns into the
Rhine.
Soldiers enjoy teasing tunes from
solo instruments, the Y. NJ. c. A. men
report, and it is up to soundshatter-
ers here to provide the apparatus.
They have "come across" with bank
notes, why not part with their high
notes? The "Y" will pass them along
to the yearners.
Discrimination in Donations.
Calliopes, pipe organs, grand pianos
and bass drums are hardly convenient
for soldiers to keep in dugouts or to
carry on hikes. A slide trombone would
be all right for open warfare, but in
a trench it could only be played side
ways. At that, trench greatly re-
sembles an ochestra pit. Discrimina-
ton should be used as to the type as
well as the size. A bass horn would
be suitable for a man detailed to base
headquarters and it would be all right
to send soldier a French horn if he
understands that language.
This does not limit the list to mouth
organs, jewsharps, sweet potatoes"
and accordions. 1t should include
reeds and small brasses. If American
soldiers are to turn the scale they
should be allowed to run it, also.

Land Here is a chance for patriotic
sacrifice which, at the same time, will
confer a great relief ON the neighbors
and brighten the life of some musical
ly-inclined Yankee soldier in the
trenches or the billets or the rest
camps of the war zone.
There is a great demand for musical
instruments by the soldiers over
there. This is the word received here
by the war work council of the Y. NJ.
C. A. from their hundreds of secre-
taries and workers in the war zone.
OF course there is music there, regi-
mental bands, field music, talking ma
chimes and pianos in the "Y' huts, but
the soldiers who have the yearning do
not want self-starting music. They
want the kind they can push out"

Would Make His Own Music.
Music's charms are notorious for
their soothing effects, and one can i'm
agine the depression of a soldier who
has nothing of a musical outfit but a
pair of ear-drums, when he wishes to
hide away with a saxophOne, to snort
sad sounds from it. That man is not
going to be satisfied with the best
band music, the finest phonOgraph rec
Ords or the piano playing of other per-
sons who may be experts, not as long
as he yearns to blow, scrape or pound
out notes or sounds of his own manu-
facture.
Anyone who has listened to a be
ginner, under the pretext of practic-
ing, groan with base horn, sob rip
plingly with a slide trombone or cry
aloud with a blat-blat alto horn, has
realized that the performer wasn't
playing, but was relieving his feelings.
Well, soldiers with a weakness for
music have that same desire to relieve
their feelings after the strain of bat
tie or monOtony of camp. And they
need some instruments by which they
can generate musical noises which will
soothe their own savage breasts and
at the same time put their comrades

one of the ninty-seven boys smiled
when they sang it.
These boys are housed comfortably
IN one of the college dormitories with

plenty of work, with a bit of leisure
time for play and a chance for suf-
1cient training to put them in trim
for a summer of service on the farm;
the boys couldn't help smiling.
Quotas had been set which called
for 100 boys. When the final tally
was made ninty-seven had appeared.

At the close of the two weeks
training at the State College, the boys
will be assigned to farms where thew
will work during the summer. The

are following out includes training

A period each day is devoted to mil

to lead the activities of each squad
during drill.
The boys in the camp are divided
into six sections for work. These
sections are each under an especially
selected leader who is responsible for
the discipline of the boys under him.
Each section receives instruction in
all phases of farm work. A portion
OF them are detailed each dav for
chore work which begins at $50 in
the morning. This compells their

FESTIVAL OF The
VENERABLE BEDE
NOTED HISTORIAN

In the calenders of both the Roman
Catholic and Anglican Churches to-
day, May 9th, is the festival of the
Venerable Bedo, the first English his
torian. Bede, or Baeda, the greatest
figure in ancient English literature,
was a native of Monk yarmouth, Dur
ham, and was born about the year
673. At six he was left an orphan,
and was entrusted to the care of st.
Benedict Biscop, and educated in the
Benedictine Abbey of his native viii
lage. Later he entered the monastery
at Jarrow, where he trained hundreds
of scholars, and began those literary
labors which were to win for him a
permanent place in the world of let
tiers.
Bede was a student of every branch
of science and literature then known
and familiar with Latin, Hebrew and
Greek. His industry was enormous
and, in the intervals Of performing
his duties as a priest, he write bio
graphies of saints, pious homilies, ep-
egrams, hymns. and works on history
grammar and chrononlog.
The greatest work which he has
left is his Ecclesiastical History of
England" in five volumes, cleaned
from native chronicles and oral ira
dition. This work was tranlated from
the original Latin into Anglo Saxon
by King Alfred. The first printed
editions were issued from Strassburg
in the fifteenth century.
In his latter years the SAINT suffer-
ed much from illness ana lack ~ zy-
probation of his efforts. When he
died, in 1856, he was engaged in trans
lating the Gospel of St. John from the
Greek. By sheer will power he held
himself to the task, and on Assem-
sion Day he saw it completed. In the
evening one of his boy students said,
as Bede laid down his pen, Master.
there is yet one sentence unwritten"
Write it quickly, then" said the Saint
and the youth wrote, "Consummatum
! est Good! Thou hast said the
truth" remarked the father of Eng
| fish history, and then reclined upon
the cold, bare floor of his cell and
died.

CHILDREN GIVE
THEIR PENNIES

An act of self-sacrifice for the Red
Cross fund has been shown by the
children of st. Johns Nepemuck
school, who contributed so, all of
which was in pennies. Father Komo-
ara gave $50 to the fund which was
turned over to the aeam captained by
Lynn w. Wilson. This act by the
children showed their self-sacrificing
spirit as every penny given by them
was secured through denying them
selves.

ARMY SURGEONS
IN WAR DOING
EXCELLENT WORK

Somewhere in France, April "a
Correspondence of the Associated
Press)-One of the unsung heores of
the war is the military surgeon. NO
man has been harder worked in the
tremendous fighting of the past few
weeks, and his work has been in most
cases far from pleasant.
There is not the same romantic
stimulus for the medical man that
there is for the infantry or artillery
officer. 1t is one thing to dash about
under fire intent on killing or being
killed; it is another thing to dash
about under fire and take the same
risks while calmly attending to those
with wounds from which all other
men as they pass avert their heads.
Thank God, 1 am not a doctor" said
an officer who had been detailed to
inspect number of improvised cas-
ialty clearing stations along the
front during an attack.
The regimental surgeon in the Brit
ish army has in his charge the we'll
being of more than a thousand men.
When there is no fighting on, he has
plenty to do. He has to strike a hap
hearted, who come to him as means
of obtaining a fortnight's rest, and in
holding out a helping hand to those
who are in real distress. If he is too
lenient, the commanding officer be-
gins to ask whether he intends to de-
plete the whole regiment; if he is too
harsh the junior officers and men lose
patience.
The doctor is the only officer in the
regiment, however, who is the fortu-
nate possessor of a car, but this leads
to numerous complications. There are
some thirty-odd officers in the regi-
ment, and each one of them has some
few trif1es which must go in that car.
If he is weak enough to take them,
the car is overloaded and before long
breaks down and precious medical
stores have to be abandoned. If he
refuses to take them, his position in
the officers mess becomes we'll nigh
unbearable.
The doctor doesn't ride. but foot
slogs" it with his regiment through
the same mud, the same wind and
rain, and the same perils. His duties
are not confined to caring for the ill
and injured. He just supervises the
sanitation of camps and billets, en-
sure the purity of drinking water,
keep a lookout for outbreaks and ep-
ideices, maintain a continuous cam
paign of NEGOTIATIONS and vaccina-
lions, and fill out long series of rec
ords and army forms. He has to do
his utmost in the light of his special
knowledge to maintain the health of
his unit, and any remissness on his
part may lead to serious dimution
in it's strength.
In billets he has the added duty of
playing the role of melical attendant
to the villagers, as all the French doc
tors in the country districts have gone.
