CANNED" MUSIC
WANTED IN CAMP
Phonograph Records Needed By
War Camp Community Serv-
ice To Promote Morale
SEND STACKER RECORDS"

The great need OF entertainment for
our soldiers and sailors in camps here
and at the front is voiced by kenrall
X. Mussey. secretary of the music
committee of the War Camp Com
munity Service who says that canned
music" as the photograph is called, is
depended upon TO promote morale
among our armed forces.
1--WE are in the greatest need at this
time of $40 photographs and $4,000
records" said Mr.. Alussey. Some
people seem TO have the idea that one
machine and few records is suffi-
cient equipment for a camp communi-
ty club house or Y. NJ c. a. hut. As
a matter of fact each building should
have three or four machines and an
assortment of records that Will meet
every taste-including the man who
wants 10 hear operate records and
symphonic poems as well as the one
whose dearest delight is the latest bit
OF syncopation or the last sentimental
song. | cannot emphasize too strong
~ this need for monographs and rec
ords both for community work and
the camps, here and abroad. Scarcely
letter comes back from overseas but
makes some mention of music, and
usually il is of the monograph they
speak.
And this need is by no means con-
fined TO overseas camps. In recent
letter from Waco, Texas, one soldier
told of having only six entertainments
in their camp in eight months. They
had 10 depend almost entirely on the
monograph for such music as they
had. Do you wonder in the face of
these letters, and scores of similar
ones, that we are urging the public
to give monographs and records, es-
pecially records, for our club houses.
The musicians are giving freely of
their time and talents in entertaining
the men. The non-musical public can
do an equally valuable service if they
will contribute machines and rec
ords.
The drive of the National Phono-
graph Recording Recruiting Corps of
21 East 40th street, New York City, to
round up a million Stacker records
during the week of October 26 to Nov
ember 2, is being pushed in 500 cities
and towns throughout the United
States and is receiving the active CO.
operation of all war welfare organiza-
tions, including the Y. NJ. c. A, Y. w
C. A., Jewish Welfare Board. War
Camp Community Service and Saliva
ton Army. An advisory board from
these organizations has been appoint
ed to distribute to camps here, to sub
marines and destroyers and to dug
outs overseas the Stacker records do
mated during the drive.
Records may be sent to the State
Armory, Bladen street.

A SANE HALLOWEEN

IL is to be hoped tonight in cele-
brating the occasion that the fun-mak-
ers will confine their merriment TO in
nocent pleasure. Heretofore, instead
of doing this, the practise has been TO
carry their fun beyond all reasonable
ness and the consequence has been
that vandalism and rowdyism and all
sorts OF depredations, like moving
doors and shutters. taking down signs,
marking buildings and defacing prop
erty generally, have been committed.
This practise not only has been done
by children under sixten and four
teen years, as restricted by the Curfew
Ordinance passed last Monday evening
by the City Council of Annapolis. but
IL is believed that considerable of IL is
done by persons beyond that age.
While the Ordinance no doubt will be
OF great assistance in preventing
rowdyism and vandalism, unless the
Police Department keep a watchful
eye the practice will be carried on just
the same as heretofore.
The City Council are to be congratu-
lated for the stand it has taken and if
the law is enforced conditions will be
materially changed and vandalism and
rowdyism will certainly be prevented
TO very large extent at least.

THE DODGERS OF BERLIN

IL was Pontius PLATE who rather
than make an honest decision called
for a basin of water and washed his
hands of the whole business.
Strongly reminiscent of that famous
getting out from under is the recent
assurance of Germany that peace
negotiations are being carried on by
a peoples government" and that 1.-The
military powers are also subject to
it."
AS a matter of fact, this advertised
reversal power represents no free final
decision on the part of either party,
but is sort of collaborative shunting
of responsibility.
The military powers are not selfish
about It, They were to blame for the
war Let the lear people shoulder
the blame for peace, also its penalties.
On the other hand. the people 'nego-
tiating for peace" are in a fine posi-
ton TO disclaim any liability for the
war Let the dear people shoulder
agree.
Germany is not a war-sick country
but fear-sick one. So long as they
were victorious, the people had no
fault to find with their military mas
tiers, but stood nationally for their
aims and crimes, and received their
stolen goods, Notwithstanding and
d-ueber-Allies-ing without
a dissenting voice.
The conclusion is palm. Govern
ment and people are mutually in
volved. Neither can hope TO escape its
just deserts by any specious shifting
of blame and bosses under pretence OF
reform. Both are guilty. Both must
pay as kipling puts it:
1.-The sin that We do by two, We shall
pay for one by one"
Evening capital and Maryland gazette. (Annapolis, Md.) 1910-1922, 1918-10-31
spARING PRIVATE PROPERTY

That German troops are under
strict instructions to spare private
property is one of the iclaims made in
the last German communication TO our
Government. This is very interesting,
in the face of discoveries made by the
Allies as they advance through France
and Belgium.
IN one place which had been head
quarters for German officers, two
grand pianos were found boxed ready
for shipment TO Germany In another
place vast numbers of books were
piled by the roadside, ready for pack
ing. but abandoned by the Germans in
their haste to depart. These books
had been stolen from a Belgian Ii
brary.
OF course one cannot blame the
Germansl Pianos and books are not
private property. Furthermore, steal
ing them is recognized by interna-
tiona1 law, according to Fritz, as es-
sential to cover the retreat of the
fleeing army, and to foil the advancing
foe, And these are but two instances
among thousands of proved cases OF
theft and destruction.
Altogether it is a perfect tribute to
the German love of all that is beauti-
full and good. So great is their feeling
for music, literature and art that they
will commit murder, rapine and theft
to satisfy it,
They have not changed. They are
the same wolves in sleeps clothing
who, early in the war, marched val
iantly past burning orphan asylums
singing Holy Night" and the Christ
mas tree song.
